OPEN STARTERS

The beat hits heavy.

🎵 “Protect ya neck kid…”

A low hum of magnetic clamps stabilizing a floating chassis forms the undercurrent to Wu-Tang Clan’s “Protect Ya Neck”, blasting from a sleek speaker embedded in the wall—one of Michael’s first audio upgrades,

A black cat? That tracks. He’d run probability simulations but he’s positive he’d get the same result.

Apparently being emotionally stable, morally responsible, and able to build a gravity lens in his garage isn’t what the people are looking for. Go figure.

even on a dating app, there’s no luck. maybe she should blame it on the black cat she copied a few weeks back, that feels like the only thing that makes sense. was he having just as much trouble ? the universe can be cruel like that.

[Mister Terrific @ATerrificHero]

And here he was thinking his dating app just had a 𝙗𝙪𝙜. Turns out it needed firearms.

Terrific doesn’t flinch when the sparks hit his goggles.

He’s shirtless, muscles taut with the stillness of focus. His T-mask glows faint, scrolling data across his retinas as his gloved fingers tap across a workbench keyboard with surgical rhythm.

A beat of silence, then. “Which means either I need to update my security protocols… or you’ve found something I haven’t.”

A long pause.

“That doesn’t happen often.”

[Mister Terrific @ATerrificHero]

“I noticed.”

His voice is even, dry, less impressed, more noted. He doesn’t need to raise his tone; the weight of knowing tends to be enough.

“You should know, this lab has a biometric lock, a chronometric seal, and three quantum alert points. None of them triggered.”

“I prefer… sneaky. I have a way of.. slippin’ by.”

[Mister Terrific @ATerrificHero]

“Last time we did drinks, you stole the jukebox and rewired it to play only 80s punk. Took three hours to get it to stop screaming.”

The corner of his mouth twitches upward again — more smirk this time.

[Mister Terrific @ATerrificHero]

Mr. Terrific doesn’t look up right away. The click-clack of the keys keeps its rhythm, precise and deliberate, but his mind stumbles — not on the data, but on her. Her voice. That familiarity.

[𝙋𝙊𝙒𝙀𝙍 𝙂𝙄𝙍𝙇! @OFEARTHTWO]

Tapping her fingers across the table....
Veeeery, very long night at the JSA building, absolutely nothing is happening besides the click-clack of keyboards, and some research happening.

"...Sooo, @ATerrificHero...
Waaaanna go get some drinks, or?"

[Mister Terrific @ATerrificHero]

“You saying that because you’re bored, or because you’re actually offering?” he says dryly, lips pulling into the ghost of a smile.

One of his T-Spheres floats quietly past, casting a subtle glow across the research table. But it’s not scanning anymore. Just… hovering.
