[ Zachary <•> Aviana ]

A: wow, school was a mess today. I can't believe even Luke dressed up for Halloween. For a second I actually thought it was Jack Skellington, he looked exactly like him.

Z: why didn't you go as Wednesday Addams?

A: didn't have the costume.

Z: wait, what character did you dress up as though?

A: Cruella De Vil.

Z: oh so that's why you had nicked the shaving cream from my bathroom. Fair warning, the foam is actually damaging to hair so if you haven't gotten it out yet then you're in trouble.

A: do you think I didn't read the instructions on the bottle?

A: of course it's not damaging to hair, you just have a habit of messing around with me.

***

A: did you see that sophomore with the neon green hair dress up as Joker... Epic!

A: oh and we even found him a Harley Quinn.

A: well, the girl wasn't actually dressed up as Harley Quinn, she had tried to make a low budget costume for the Queen of Hearts but she could pass off as Harley nevertheless.

Z: I had forgotten you used to live in Gotham before you came here, thanks for the reminder.

***

Z: also are these texts meant for Nora or for me?

A: Zach, I know it's you this time. Of course it's meant for you.

Z: but I was saved as Not Worth Talking in your phone so...

A: nah, I changed it.

Z: okay.

Z: but I still think the contact is not Zachary, probably some other phrase you've coined.

A: you thought right.

A: you're saved as Orange Juice Stain atm.

Z: ...

Z: I hate you...

A: I know you don't mean it.

A: tbh you will die without me so I know for a fact that you don't mean it.

***

Z: wow, what a huge misconception.

Z: I won't die without you. But I might die because of you.

A: wanna bet?

Z: no thanks.

***

Z: I don't trust you anymore since I remember now that you've lived in Gotham so there might actually be a few murderous tricks up your sleeve.

A: and I might take this as a compliment.

A: of course I have more than just a few murderous tricks up my sleeve.

Z: ...

A: and I can't wait to try some on you.

Z: don't you dare, I'm telling Mom...

A: go ahead *sharpening knives in the background*

Z: Ava, what the hell?

A: where the hell are you, Zachary? Come out of whatever hiding place you've gone to.

Z: ...

***

Calling...

Orange Juice Stain

Call Rejected.

***

A: and why tf is your phone on silent mode?

Z: becuz I knew you would try to catch me by the sound of my ringtone.

A: that means you're still in the house.

Z: oh shit...

***

A: I really want to know where you've hidden, I can't find you anywhere!

***

A: fine, I give up. I'm not gonna hurt you.

Z: swear on it.

A: I swear on my sass and incredible sense of humor, I'm not gonna hurt you.

Z: thank you.

***

Z: hey, since you've lived in Gotham, have you ever met the Waynes?

A: I met Jason.

A: had a huge ass crush on him too.

Z: ...

Z: so like you had a crush on his ass or what?

A: wtf?

A: first of all, Grayson's the one whose ass is worthy of having a crush on.

Z: you sure of what you just typed or are you high?

A: secondly no, I just asked Jason out on a date when I met him and he kept laughing his ass off.

A: I didn't know whether it was a yes or no.

Z: 😂

A: and I'm not high, shut it.

***

Z: how old were you when that happened?

A: irrelevant.

Z: no, answer the question.

A: ...

A: 12

Z: yeah, I don't blame Jason for laughing his ass off then.

Z: I would have done the same.

A: the nerve of you to think that someone like me would ever ask a doofus like you out.

***

A: besides, Jason died a week later so... I was kinda scared that I might be a witch.

Z: ...

Z: your contact is now officially saved as Wednesday Addams in my phone.

A: oh I have a very special curse for you then.

Z: no, please no...

A: my curse for you is that your one true love would make you suffer a lot before finally saying yes.

Z: this curse better not come true.

A: why are you so worried?

A: for this curse to be true, there must be someone stupid enough to finally fall in love with you and that's not gonna happen.

Z: ...

A: and I still have a little faith in humanity that no one would actually be that stupid yet.

Z: you should start working at Disneyland as the Evil Queen from Snow White. Your roasts would be much better use there.

[ The Young Misfits ]

Superboy: for you all's entertainment, presenting the Halloween fiasco that raged in our school today.

Kid Flash: did anyone dress up as us?

Supergirl: sadly, no.

Supergirl: Connor dressed up as himself and I was so worried he'll give his identity away.

Miss Martian: that was downright dumb, Kon.

Superboy: but did anyone find out? No.

Robin: humans, the stupidest species I've known...

Artemis: you do remember you're a human too, don't you?

Robin: most unfortunately...

Robin: besides, I still don't get the point of the whole Superman effect.

Robin: how can people not connect the dots? Even a four year old can tell how darn obvious it is.

Kid Flash: well luckily, people don't think like you. Or else we'd all have been exposed years ago.

Artemis: where are the pictures?

Artemis: all I see are you guys bickering for no reason at all.

Miss Martian: exactly, where's the entertainment?

Superboy: coming right up.

Robin: this is disturbing.

Miss Martian: I just realized, if I studied in your high school, I would have easily gone as Gamora.

Superboy: we did have one student dressed up as a member from the Justice League.

Kid Flash: there's a Green Lantern costume but no one dressed up as the Flash? That's unacceptable!

Supergirl: oh and this is our friend Luke.

Miss Martian: he's hot. (This message has been deleted).

Robin posted screenshot of last chat.

Robin: M'gann, explain yourself.

Artemis: 😂

Miss Martian: what's the big deal? I just think he's hot, that's it.

Supergirl: he's taken. This is Nora, his girlfriend.

Miss Martian: they make a lovely couple. Oh and did they match outfits or something?

Robin: no, if he had cosplayed as Victor Van Dort then that would have been matched or couple costumes. She's dressed as the Corpse Bride and the only thing common between these two characters is that they're both from a Tim Burton movie.

Artemis: explains the overall grave look.

Superboy: wow Timmy... No one asked.

Robin: ...

Supergirl: you're so screwed, Kon...

Robin: you all should consider yourself lucky to be able to gain access to such a lot of info through me.

Robin: but no, you all are ungrateful little shits who take me for granted!

Kid Flash: I don't know what's worse, suicidal Timmy or angry Timmy.

Robin: both!

Robin: I'LL SHOW YOU BOTH!!!

Supergirl: heaven forbid. Please calm down.

Miss Martian: or maybe the better option for us would be to temporarily desert Mount Justice and go into hiding.

Robin: I'll find you no matter where you go.

Kid Flash: I take back my words.

Superboy: me too. Just let it be.

Robin: you pissed me off and now you guys pay.

Artemis: how about we take you to your favorite coffee shop and pay for as much coffee as you want.

Artemis: as a compensation for pissing you off rn.

Robin: ...

Kid Flash: yes, as much as you want.

Miss Martian: our treat to you.

Robin: fine, as much coffee as I want and you all will pay for it. Don't forget.

Artemis: agreed.

Supergirl: I kinda have a bad feeling about this.

Superboy: we're so getting broke tonight.

Robin: what did you just say?

Superboy: nothing whatsoever.
