Rated: M

Note: Henry Marcus Pym Jr is based on Henry Pym Jr, a.k.a Pym, of the Next Avengers universe. However, in this fic he is in the Age of Apocalypse Verse and has a different backstory, though his parentage is the same. It’s a huge ‘What If’ Scenario.

The blond teen was ready to get out of here. Every hallway, every room, was dark and sinister. The whole place dripped with hopelessness and despair. He hated it. There were two reasons he’d taken this mission. The first was to make his father proud.
The second was to babysit Henry Marcus Pym Jr. He knew the other would have gone regardless of his decision to join in or not. And, knowing Pym, he would end up doing something other than the task that was at hand. So far? So good. There had been no mishaps AND they had succeeded in placing their carefully cultivated virus onto the mainframe.

But Charles Lensherr had counted his eggs before they had hatched.

Part 1

No one seemed to notice the dark haired boy sitting in the seat by himself. 

Why did no one notice? He was sitting in the corner, watching everything like he knew what was going to happen already.

His father, his mother, Kurt Wagner, Remy- They were all talking in loud voices and asking Janet van Dyne question after question. She was laying in bed trying to get it all out.

Charlie knew the boy, he’d met him before. Several times actually. They’d talked. They’d hung out. Possibly the only friend he’d ever made himself, without it being influenced by home. If you could call the kid a friend.

Dark hair fell into his eyes when he looked up, and caught Charlie staring. Warm brown eyes that hid so much more than what people would see in a short, small boy of thirteen.

Word Count: 2550

Fandom: Batman/Young Avengers

Characters: Bruce Wayne, Tim Drake, Tommy Shepherd

Pairings: Eventual TimTommy

Rated: PG (though may be slight swearing, and non-detailed references to home abuse)

Tommy is 11 and Tim Drake is 12. Timmy’s already Robin, the Joker is locked in Arkham after killing Jason. In Young Avengers continuity  it’s only two weeks until Tommy would have vaporised his school. Marvel-DC in the same universe. Tommy fits the Batfamily mould after all, but how can Robin handle an eleven year old speedster on his own?

It was a few more days until Batman called Tommy down to talk with him and his protege. But the speedster child wouldn’t stop racing around the cave. It was nearing Christmas, and Alfred had started purchasing large amounts of candy canes. 

“Look, he needs this.” Bruce told his young partner as they both watched the brown haired boy dash around the cave.

“What do you mean?”

“I knew a boy like him, once.” Batman returned to checking the engine of the Batmobile, “And he needed to be Robin. It helped him from going down a dark road.”

Chapter 2- A Little Bit of Speedster In My Life

Word Count: 2327

Fandom: Batman/Young Avengers

Characters: Bruce Wayne, Tim Drake, Tommy Shepherd

Pairings: Eventual TimTommy

Rated: PG

Tommy is 11 and Tim Drake is 12. He’s already Robin, the Joker is locked in Arkham after killing Jason. In Young Avengers continuity  it’s only two weeks until Tommy would have vaporised his school. Marvel-DC in the same universe. Tommy fits the Batfamily mould after all, but can Batman actually handle him? We’ll see. 

Tommy Shepherd had always loved cars. A sweeeettt set of wheels could make him groan in delight and sometimes even drool. So it was, as he was exiting the nuclear power plant at super speed, ready to set off to his depressing home life at the end of an extraordinary day that he spotted an extraordinary car.

Better than extraordinary THIS CAR was beautiful and amazing. Shiny black. Those rims… he could just melt, and the fenders. What a dream engine this baby must have. He ran a hand along it slowly when he heard footsteps and voices. 

Here was a life crossroads, one of those ones that they liked to talk about at school. Except it wasn’t between focusing on sports or academics. Heck, it was nothing that trivial. He could sneak into the boot of this car, go to heavens knows where (where did Batman live? Near that Arkham place?) or he could run back home to his miserable life. At least in one of those options he didn’t have to part with this car. And what was the worst that could happen? Yeah, he wasn’t exactly sure what the plan of action was ONCE he got to wherever Batman was going but he was pretty sure that they’d just send him back OR he could wander around. Anything was better than here. With that simple, understated, eleven year old thought process he climbed into the trunk and closed it over him. 

Five minutes later the car was moving.

Ever wonder about what he’s doing

How it all turned to lies

Sometimes I think that it’s better 

To never ask why

Bruce reread the sentence for the fifth time. It was no use, though. Everything he’d attempted absorbing past the headline of ‘Redhood strikes again’ had been useless. None of it stayed.

“I won’t attack the syndicate, Daddy Bats.”

That had been the call at the end of the last meeting between the two of them.

Lies. That’s all everything was with them.

Pairings: Eventual Pym/Azari, Francis/Thorunn/James triangle

Rated: PG- This chapter

Note: This started with me playing with the idea of an older lot of Next Avengers, specifically exploring Pym as a 15 year old as opposed to 12/13 of the movie. Part of the way through writing the second and third chapters I reread the comics and it spiralled even more. This is the first part. Not sure how long it’s going to be. 

—————————————————————————————————-

Pym’s nose was bleeding, long trails of red past his lips and chin and his body shook. 

The rest of the Next Avengers stared.

“Pym, what’s wrong?”

Azari met the youngest boy’s eyes. “Tell them,” he muttered, “go on, tell them.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Pym said edgily, and looked away.

“Damn it, Pym! Tell them.”

The events of the past few weeks laid heavy in the air between them.

“Fine, Pym, I’ll tell them.”

The other three switched their gaze.

“Azari please, Azari NO!”

Fandom: Young Avengers [Alchemist Twins!AU]

Characters: Tommy Shepherd, Billy Kaplan, Teddy (Dorrek) Altman, Nate Richards, Cassie Lang, random X-men, random Avengers

Shipping: Tommy/Nate, background Billy/Teddy, minor flirty hints of both Nate/Cassie and Tommy/Cassie

Rated: M

Background Info: This is set in my friend Jessie’s AU of Alchemist Twins. In a separate world Tommy and Billy are Thomas and William, alchemy twins with a family history made of legends. They’re under pressure to continue the legacy, while travelling on quests with their pet Skrull, Dorrek. Skrulls are used in rings like cock fights. (Although, as time goes on Billy and eventually Tommy see Dorrek as more human and even give him a human name, Theodore.)

Nate is a blacksmith that often helps the Lady Cassandra, who is rather like Robin Hood and deals with bandits. Avengers are a type of Royal/Noble guard and I think the X-men are nobility if memory serves me correct. The Nate/Tommy came out of the SongMeme linked, and as it was short but a bigger story to be told, this came about.

There’s a lot more headcanon but as it doesn’t relate to this fic, I’ll leave it be.Jess, I’m sure, will write about it in the future, it was amazing to share this with her and come up with more ideas. I had a ton of fun writing this for her and it’s been over a few months that I’ve done it. (We all get busy!) If you have any more questions, ask her, or read the fics already up. I may write for this verse more in the future but for now, read on!

My song for this fic

Tommy woke up with a groan. He rubbed his head and came into contact with the slight light coloured stubble on his face. His eyes rested on his brother, wrapped up against their pet Skrull on the bed opposite. No need to wake him. He staggered to his feet. All they needed now was the map. Then they could leave this town and keep moving. Tommy sighed, drifting out the door of the Inn. Outside he used the pump to wash and shave his face clean, smooth. Water dripped down his chest as he stretched, letting it dry in the hot sun. He’d scored both himself and his twin invitations to the feast the next evening. Charming miss Cassandra wouldn’t be too hard. Then he would have the map and all would be well. Eyes gazed over the fields and he felt a sharp pain in his chest. That looked like… No. It couldn’t be. It wasn’t… The figure in the distance had turned and Tommy quickly walked back inside.

thefictionofthefans:

• Continuing the AU fic in which Tommy meets Batman and Tim Drake. Yes I do have more, watch me. 
• Also actually writing the other time Tim Saved Tommy’s life and didn’t know it and the one time he did. Oops.
• A special surprise fic dedicated to two girls who have both just had their birthday. Here’s one and here’s the other. It’s using the AU the two created. You can find some of the fics for that AU on the latter’s account which I will link to in my fic. Unfortunately though it’s going to be A WHOLE LOT OF ANGST so I’ll also be writing…
• Lots of Marvel fluff. Look out for- BillyTeddy, BillyTeddyTommy, Kitty Pryde/Piotr Rasputin, Cassie Lang/’Jonas’ The Vision, maybe some Tommy/Kitty Pryde. I’m trying to think up any other Marvel Ships that I know of/am invested in/would even want to write and I’m drawing a blank at the moment. Maybe some Rogue in the future? I like her and Remy but I just don’t know how well I could pull that off!
• Possibly Bubbles from the Powerpuff Girls. I have no clue what yet. 

Have fun!

The cross out is because I can’t remember what in the world that idea was… oops. I’ll have to write them something else!

Including the above I also have:

• Amadeus Cho/Tommy Shepherd. Already written just needs cleanup…
• Nate/Tommy based off of Jess’ AlchemistTwins verse and is kind of a present for her. Almost finished.
• More Tommy/Cassie stuff I have saved.
• Julian Keller/Tommy, 1/3 finished.
• Damian/Colin because they give me too many feelings
• Possibly some long JayTim stuff because JayTim and Holly gives me feels. Possibly starts out a little abusive, possibly AU, not sure yet. We’ll see.
• Finish that Bart/Tommy fic. POSSIBLY DRAMATIC AND FULL OF WHUMP. Not sure.
• DickWally because they are OTP material and everyone knows that they want each other. Or HAVE done something. xD
• WallyJay- BEFORE YOU SAY ANYTHING THE STORY WILL BE FANTASTIC.
• Damian oneshot.

Tommy/Cassie fics in the same future universe as this one:

Uh-oh (By Holly)

Still Uh-oh (By Holly)

Moving In (By me)

This is pure fluff.

And dedicated to Holly. After the heart wrenching fic of ‘The Box’ and having other heart wrenching fic ideas (another Tommy death one, unattainable Billy/Tommy, Tommy being a weapon, and ideas for a fic of watching someone being tortured… I don’t know either…) I decided to do something pure fluff. Holly gave me the prompt of ‘Coffee’. 

Now if anyone’s wondering why Tommy and Cassie? Not that that’s any more crack than what I usually write but if you are wondering, because it was unexpected for me too, it’s because I roleplay as speediam and she is callmestature and for some reason there is such a huge dynamic between them, and a bit of sexual tension. To be honest I didn’t really like Cassie until I met Holly, and now I talk to her consistently on the phone. Probably will write some Robin stuff after this one to run away from Tommy feels.

speediam:

((So this is AU in which they all didn’t meet until later in life. Cassie met Tommy two weeks after her 18th birthday. She’s 21 here. 

I’m making the assumption that the YA are still all together but are accepted as doing so by the Avengers. There’s a two/three year age gap between Cassie and Tommy.

This fic was inspired by the lovely Holly and her piece of work.))

Brief mention of sex. Don’t like? Don’t read. 

Rated M. Barely any swearing. Tiny snippet of sex. Most of all there’s some grieving. 

Won’t say anything more or I’ll ruin it!

“Billy… I love you.” The white haired speedster was standing beside him on Mount Wundagore. Billy had been upset over an argument with Teddy and disappeared in a fit of tears. As usual Tommy knew from his spot in his room, lifting his head, and turning it to the empty room next to him. He got to his feet and began to run and didn’t stop until he reached the place he knew Billy would be.

“I love you too, Tommy.”  Billy twisted the engagement ring on his finger around. Tommy’s heart thudded… he had to say it.

“No… I mean… I mean I’m in love with you.”

Billy shut his eyes tight. He didn’t want to think about this now. He didn’t want to recognise the memories.

“Tommy,” Billy turned his head to look at his twin, “I’m getting married. In a month.”

“So… never again?”

No… No. Stop. No more memories. No more…

He was moving way too slowly down the stairs. The procession in black. Everyone in black.

This needs a slight explanation.

I roleplay, and one of the characters I roleplay is Tommy Shepherd. I became really good friends with a Tim Drake and we started roleplaying together, shipping Tommy-Tim. It’s one of my favourite ships now. While roleplaying Tim saved Tommy’s life when he got kidnapped and later, while recovering Tommy told him that Tim saved his life twice before, but he just didn’t know it. 

Now in this roleplay Tim is 17 while Tommy is 16. So here, in the fic, Tommy is 11 and Tim is 12. He’s already Robin, the Joker is locked Arkham after killing Jason. In two weeks Tommy will vaporise his school. This chapter can be read without any shipping really, because they’re both young and Tommy is an obnoxious little brat. 

Pairings: None really here. If anything hint that in the future there’s Tommy Shepherd/ Tim Drake.

Rating: G

—————————————————————————-

Now if Tommy Shepherd had to put this day on a scale of one to ten- one being the best, and ten being the worst this would be a 9.6

Heat hit his face.

Make that a 9.8

“Hey brat kid,” came an overhead voice, “want to apologise for your behaviour yet?”

Okay. Make that a 10. 

The situation could not get worse. Really. This was worse than being locked up in the boiler cupboard. He was going to pass out soon. All this blood was rushing to his head. 

“NO!” He shouted, stubbornly. No way was he giving these losers the satisfaction.

This was posted to one of my RP accounts.

terminlvelocity’s fault I’m writing this.

I liked this part a bit better that Part 2. The conversation might drag though. Oh well.

Warning, boy makeouts. Also I listened to Runaway by Maroon 5 and Human Nature by Michael Jackson and then the Glee version for this chapter. I think the HN song fitted the makeout, and Runaway just Tommy in general. Okay enough, enough.
