Hypertime: April First

[one_dc_nation]

The Monitors observe the various universes. One for each universe.

But then there's Hypertime. Hypertime, which weaves in and out of various other realities. Some of these shards of timelines are critical to the support of the crystalline fragile structure of some universes.

But there are many that are just plain silly.

Here are but a few.

Hal Jordan sighs, getting out of the bed. The Guardians need him.

"Excuse me."

"Pardon me."

"Sorry."

"Coming through."

"Excuse me."

"Look out."

"I'm just stepping over you here..."

After another ten excuses, he's finally past the partners on that side of the bed.

"You ladies keep yourselves entertained. I'll be back from saving the universe in no time."

He grabs his cane, topped with a green orb; he grabs his wide-brimmed white hat with a big green feather coming off the top. And, of course, his big green bling-ring.

The Green Lantern is needed.

Jill watches him go, propped up on one elbow near the middle of the bed, then nudges the other girls awake as soon as he's out the door. Each of them sits up and stretches, then retrieve their Star Sapphire rings from the various hiding places around the room.

"Let's go have some fun girls."

Joey sinks into a booth, beer in one hand, cell phone in the other, sighing as he looks at his empty list of call logs. Every number in the list except for his mom has blocked his calls.

He can't figure out what he's doing wrong! He's polite! He holds doors and stuff! His mom says he's charming. Little old ladies like him for crying out loud! Would it KILL the universe to let him be able to attract a date under the age of 60?! He heaves a sigh.

What's the point anyway?

[lanternslight]

Hal sighs.

It sucks to be a virgin at 40.

"Well... Joey... I struck out again, too."

[make_contact]

Joey looks up at his friend across the table and sighs, flipping his phone around to Hal and showing him the newest blocked number on the list. Raven had always seemed to tolerate him so kindly before. Maybe the pickup line really WAS that bad...

His next gesture is obvious even for the ASL illiterate. He cocks his fingers like a pistol and sticks the 'barrel' in his mouth before jerking his head back with a roll of his eyes. Then he signs.

So, Carol shut you down? Again?

[lanternslight]

He nods.

He looks over at Joey... and a thought occurs to him.

He's struck out with every woman on Earth. Maybe...

At last. The Mad Hatter has accomplished his ultimate task.

He's captured Aquaman's former sidekick, and put him exactly where he belongs.

Inside a giant teapot.

Batman is not happy. He's going to make a much bigger deal about this than it really deserves.

Arthur knocked on the door to the Lance-Queen household just like he did every Wednesday night when he showed up for dinner.

[starcity_archer]

Ollie greeted Arthur with a boisterous hug. "Come see my latest ship. I finished the Black Pearl last night!"

[great_swimmer]

Arthur returned the hug and had a smile on his face. "Congratulations," he said with a slap to Ollie's back. "Let's go see it."

Dinah came out of the kitchen, a wide smile on her face.

Why yes, she is quite the domestic goddess.

The smell of fish and chips permeats the air.

"Arthur!"

[bette_kane]

She is the terror that flaps in the day!

She is the rhinestone on the jumpsuit of justice!

She is....Flamebat!

[titansleader]

He was the world famous gymnast, renowned and covered in medals, and he had been stalking her for days. She was...beauty, an effulgent goddess sparkling effervescently just for him. He must have her.
