Trope: Action Mom

Superboy winced at the thudding from Kid Flash's room. While neither he nor anyone else was going to complain that Wally and Artemis probably wouldn't be fighting with each other quite as much anymore, he did wish they would be a bit quieter about it.

One year later
"Have I mentioned recently how much I despise your Rogues?" Wally winced and tried to not meet his girlfriend's narrowed eyes. This was made slightly more difficult by his current... predicament. Really, being hung upside-down lost its novelty rather quickly.
"It could be worse..." he started.
"Right." Her deadpan tone was belied by the smirk slowly quirking her lips. At her hip, their daughter giggled at the obvious indication that Daddy was in Trouble.
"They still shouldn't have attacked you while you were babysitting."
Wally considered conceding the point, but decided against it.
"It's not like Iris got hurt." That was true. In fact, the three month old had been more amused by all the noise and explosions than anything else. Mirror Master had even commented on how adorable she was, before being chased away by explosive arrows.
"True." Artemis' expression was unreadable.
The silence was broken by Iris' happy gurgling and the swinging of rope.
"So," Wally ventured, "Want to untie me and tell me how the mission in Kasnia went?"
Artemis smiled as another bout of flailing sent the speedster swinging back and forth again.
"Not really."

I suppose this is rather apropos for Mothers' Day, isn't it?

Trope: Damsel Fight And Flight Response
---
From the swamp, an oozing, ghastly figure rose. It lurked through the woods, then the city, slowly devouring all those unfortunate enough to cross its path.
It's most recent victim, a girl with red hair, screamed loudly and awoke the neighbors to her plight.
In hazy shades of gray, the figure oozed away again, leaving a small pool of blood and nothing else.
"I think watching this was a bad idea," Wally squeaked as the next victim, an elderly man with a shotgun, was messily devoured. M'gann and Artemis nodded emphatically.
Two hours later, M'gann crept through the hallway, trying to watch all the corners and keep her back to the wall.
It was just a movie. Come on, you face scarier things during missions. Right?
The hallway was still too dark, and every noise made her twitch.
She reached the kitchen, grabbed the package of cookie that she came for, and left.
Halfway back, a shadowy figure stepped forward and grabbed her shoulder from behind.
"Aihhhh!"
A quick shove into the wall sent them tumbling, and she dashed to her room and locked the door. She slid to the floor, breathing heavily and clutching her package of cookies.
"I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm safe in here. It's fine."

Meanwhile in the hall, Superboy blinked and rubbed his head.
Owwww.

Trope: Nubile Savage

"Don't you think it's a bit odd," Robin said, "that, despite living on a deserted island with no hair care products, razors, or make-up, all the females look like super-models?"
KF blinked at him, hazy grin fading a bit for the first time since crashing on the island.
"Um, no?"
Robin hated being the only one unaffected by puberty yet.
