Last set. I had fun with these
I recently made a tumblr: zaralito. tumblr. com Check it out if you want!
Watched The Avengers for the first time a few days ago and I gotta say, I think it trumps Nolan's Batman :p
Enjoy!

Winter:
Nineteen-year-old Artemis Crock groans as she hears the shades of her window being yanked open.
"Artie, Artie, Artie!" cries an excited voice.
The blonde moans, flipping her mass of golden hair over one shoulder as she sits up. She peels her eyes open enough so that she can see, wincing at the bright winter light. "What?" she grunts, squinting in the direction of the male voice.
A pair of snow pants and her favorite green parka hit her in the face in response.
"It's snowing!" Dick said in a sing-song voice, drawing out the last word. "C'mon, get up, get up!"
He bounds forward, movements restricted by all the winter garb he's wearing, and takes hold of her hands. He yanks her out of bed and onto her feet in one fluid motion.
Sleepily, the archer grabs the winter gear Dick had thrown at her as he yanks her out of the room.
"-have hot cocoa with the cute little marshmallows and make snowmen and oh, maybe Zee and Walls and Linda can come too and we can go to the café and go sledding and-!"
Artemis groaned again as her boyfriend went on with his blabbering.
Sometimes, she wonders if Dick is still thirteen years old.
Diamond:
"SHINE BRIGHT LIKE A DIAMOND, SHINE BRIGHT LIKE A-"
"No."
Letters:
Dear Walls,
If you're reading this, it means I probablydidn't make it through Bat's and mine's last mission. I told you about that one, didn't I? We knew it was gonna be a close one.
I'm writing this…as a means of closure, I guess. There's a bunch of stuff I have to tell you.
Did you know the day I met you was the most asterous day of my life? Can't tell you how excited I was when Bruce told me I was meeting the Kid Flash. I remember thinking it was funny how you were even more nervous than me.
I still have that red hoodie I borrowed from you. And that book- what's it called- oh yeah,The Disappearing Spoon. They're in the last drawer in my cabinet at the mountain.
And that chocolate bar you couldn't find last Halloween that you never shut up about? Yeah. That was me.
Alright, I know I'm stalling. To-the-point time.
I'm really gonna miss you, Wally, as happy as I'll be to see my family again. You were the greatest friend a guy could have. Really. I know it sounds corny, but hey.
Thanks for all the times you helped me through the anniversaries. And for being there when I had nightmares. And in that training simulation. And pretty much every other time I needed you.
I don't want you guys to mourn. Any of you. Stand up and move on. Tell them bye for me. Miss M, Supey, Kal, Artemis, Roy, Raquel, Zatanna. And Barb too. Tell them I love them. All of 'em.
Don't sit around and cry over me. I mean it. Or I might have to come back and haunt you. We all know the life expectancy in our line of work isn't all that whelming.
And I don't think I've ever told you, Walls, but you've always been a brother to me. Always. So thanks.
I'll really miss you, KF.
Love,
Dick Grayson
PS. Don't keep Artie waiting, dude. It's rude ;)
Seventeen-year-old Wally West put his head down and sobbed.
Promise:
Wally tried to calm down as he kneeled next to his best friend. Tried to ignore the red flowing from his gut. Tried to ignore the tears staining the younger's face.
"Wally…"
"Shh, Dick, it's okay-"
"Hurts…"
"I know, Dickie, I'm sorry, I-"
Dick panted as another rivulet of red stained his tunic. His moans turned to cries.
"It hurts, it hurts…"
"God," Wally gasped, clenching his eyes shut as tears escaped. "I know, Dick, I'm s-sorry-"
"S-stop…make it s-stop, K-KF..."
"They're coming, they're coming for us," Wally assured him quickly, hand clenching Dick's. "They're coming, Dick, you'll be okay, I won't leave."
"P-promise?"
"Promise."
Simple:
"It's simple. Get on board, or get out of the way."
Future:
"What?" Kid Flash said flatly. He started at the human in front of him. The rest of the team stood next to him, all with identical dumbstruck expressions.
"Uh, KF? I'm pretty sure he said we're in the future."
"I heard him the first time!"
"Then what are you so confused about, Baywatch?"
"Don't you guys get it?" Wally asked, gaping at his friends.
M'gann looked puzzled as Superboy raised an eyebrow, arms crossed over the emblem on his chest. "Yeah, we get it. We're in the future, not like stranger stuff hasn't-"
"That's not the point!" Wally cried, arms flailing. "We're in the future!"
"We have established that, Kid Flash, what are you talking-"
"OH MY GOD YOU GUYS, WE'RE IN THE FUTURE BUT THERE AREN'T ANY JET PACKS!"
I wanted the last one to be funny cuz I almost cried while writing the letter one. Sorry that Simple is short.
These were a lot of fun. I might try looking up more sets of prompts.
Jsyk, I'll be posting all my stories on tumblr as well.
Review please!
