Oh man this is soooo late!!!!!!!!
Without further ado I give you snippets that were meant to be written ages ago!
Exams
"I still don't get why you're making me do this. The scarab tells me what's going on and how to deal with weird stuff anyway!"
Guy rolled his eyes at the young boy and tried to control his temper.
"Blue Beetle is smart Jaime." He slurped at his beer. " S'like, I don't know, traditional. Like Supes being all brawn and Batty being all creature of the night with no sense of humour. That's just how things are."
The young superhero sighed and turned back to the heavy book entitled "Strategy" by Liddell-Hart.
He did get what the Lantern was trying to do by making him learn this stuff, thinking before fighting could've saved him lots of trouble many times; he just wished the man would stop metaphorically cramming the damn stuff down his throat.
He glanced slyly over at the redhead. Guy was hunched over the other side of the table reading another book. He glared at the pages and flipped then viciously as if he was at war with the text.
Jaime smiled internally as he watched the older man. He guessed if the arrogant Lantern could bring himself down to teaching something he's never cared about than he should really try to learn a bit.
Guy slashed a couple more lines of writing on a notepad before looking up.
"Ten minutes and I'll test you on chapter 3."

A Little Bit Worried
Dick really didn't know why he'd allowed his boyfriend to drag him out to the cotton plantations. It was hundreds of miles from any proper civilization, hot, dry and dark. Not the dark of a city a night but the utter blackness of open country.
Roy had been spent the last couple of months slowly building into a full-on freak out. And the former Boy Wonder had been forced into listening to his worries, fears and whinging the whole time.
Connor had, apparently, been acting weird.
Secretive phone calls and messages. Absences either unexplained or badly explained. Unusual moods and mood-swings.
This time Roy had decided to follow him when the younger Arrow had snuck out of the house the day before his night off from patrol. Dick had been dragged along against his will and reasoning.
At first he'd thought that Connor must just have a girlfriend and was trying to keep it on the quiet, after all his family were known for gossiping. But when the young man had reached the city outskirts he had disappeared.
Roy's conspiracy theories hadn't seemed so weird anymore.
A small tracking device placed inside an otherwise normal belt had led them out here.
Upon arriving, in the "borrowed" Batwing, they had noticed the strangely flattened plants. A wide curved line of bent cotton plants below them. There was a faint green tint to the dying light.
As they crept along the path made by the flat plants, Dick could hear his lover muttering about aliens, ninjas and conspiracies.
The path took a sharp turn, about ninety degrees and continued.
The green light seemed subtly brighter.
Even as Roy turned in towards the centre of the field and pushed against the still standing plants, the clues gathered in Dick's mind and all the little dots started to connect.
He leaped to grab his friend and stop him but only succeeded in tumbling them both into the small clearing in the centre of the field.
Silence reigned the cotton field.
"What the Hell?!?"

Crop Circles
A green light hovered over endless fields of white and gold. It flared briefly, paused contemplatively then sped off.
Hundreds of miles away it dimmed and touched down in a city's outskirts. For a few minutes it seemed to disappear only be reappear racing away, close to the ground. Barely heard, but still there, laughter escaped it's boundaries and floated out into the day.
Back again over the sweep of uninterrupted fields the light came to a stop.
Connor looked down at the sea of cotton underneath them, even at this height his archer's eyes picked out the difference. Pressed into the plants below was a giant heart.
He glanced up at his companion. Shy eyes looked back at his. They had never really said anything about feeling before because of all the loved ones lost but...
He smiled into deep brown eyes, leaned in to tangle his fingers through raven hair and pulled Kyle in for a kiss.
The young Lantern grinned at him, exuberantly happy. Kyle knew that Connor understood his inability to say the words but he had needed to show him somehow what the other man meant to him.
They sunk slowly towards a small clearing in the centre of the love heart where a picnic blanket and basket awaited.
Hours later as the sun had begun to set Connor had surrendered himself to Kyle's always greedy hands and mouth. He lay naked, stretched out on the fluffy blanket and barely repressed giggles when his lover blew cool air against his stomach. Green light bathed his body as Kyle sketched abstract designs over his chest and throat.
Both men were pleasantly exhausted and enjoying the peace and quiet of the country.
The plants around them rustled but were ignored; while not windy it wasn't still either.
THUMP
"What the Hell?!?"
Connor squeaked and was silently grateful that even though Kyle had let his own startled exclamation, the young Lantern was quick to create clothes for both of them.
He felt his cheeks redden as he avoided the eyes of the older Arrow and waited for the explosions to begin.
