Now That Was Odd. Oracle Was The One To Receive All The Emails And Messages Meant For Batman And The

Now that was odd. Oracle was the one to receive all the emails and messages meant for Batman and the others, so she'd been the one to receive the email about a disappearance at Gotham General Hospital. Normally, after filtering out the spam that sometimes leaked through, or the ones that had been sent to the wrong address, she'd forward the email straight to the Bat Computer so that Batman or Red Robin could look over them. This one, though, was one that had caught her attention.

"There was a disappearance at Gotham General. A kid was brought in after the Scarecrow attack yesterday, the one that got the mask of Fear Gas? His record has been wiped and the kid's gone. There's no record of his discharge."

While it was crude and poorly typed, it was to the point.

"Hadn't Red Robin been at the Scarecrow attack yesterday?" she wondered aloud, "Yeah. He was the one to carry that kid out. The one that got the face full of Fear Gas."

Between watching over the others while they were on patrol, Oracle didn't really have the time to properly assess the email or the situation, let alone check in on it. There was something about this, though, that dragged her attention to it. She'd learned, when she'd been Batgirl, to always listen to her gut feeling no matter what. It had saved her before, so she followed it.

She watches the security footage from Scarecrow's attack the previous day. She followed the ambulance the kid had been in via street cameras. She hacked into the hospital to check the records and followed the kid from those, cameras, too. Everything was as it should be.

There! The sign on the monitor in the hospital said there was a radioactive substance in the kid. It also said that the proper agency had been contacted. And- Ectoplasm? What's that? Doesn't that have to do with ghosts and stuff?

The more Oracle watches, the worse her feeling got. A quick check proved that there were, actually, records of this child missing from the hospital. He also hadn't been discharged. That room was still marked as occupied.

An hour after the two nurses had left the kid, a group of people wearing all white entered the room. They unhooked the kid from the hospital equipment before placing him in a wheelchair. Unconscious.

Oracle narrowed her eyes, suspicion falling heavy over her. This was bad. Something was wrong.

She managed to follow the group through the halls, out of the hospital, and to a nondescript white van.

"Shit."

DPxDC Prompt:

The vigilante meant well, taking the kid to the hospital to treat his injuries. The kid mumbled the entire time, barely conscious. "No hospital, please," he said more than once.

Poor kid, the vigilante thought. He must have a phobia of needles or something.

...

They never could have anticipated the danger they put that kid in, placing him in the care of that hospital.

Recording was cancelled tonight, so we're gonna watch more movies with my parents.

Tonight's Movie: The Amazing Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield)

My phone is gonna be charging during the movie, so probably won't get any of my thoughts. (Unless I grab my 6ft cord👀)

Anyway, I think my family has either gaslit me or I'm going crazy. I'm the only one, out of the five of us, who remembers the tradition of us watching The Amazing Spider-Man (or any of the Spider-Man movies, really) every year on New Year's Eve until I was 15.

I know what I know, but no one else does, apparently.

I got the longer cord. Maybe I'll remember to add my thoughts:

We keep having hiccups. We'll get to the movie eventually... In the meantime, and because no one asked or probably cares, I'm gonna make a master post thing for my movie thoughts.

Aunt May!

Uncle Ben!

It'd be a shame if anything happened to either of them.👀

I'm arachnophobic....

Peter is such a dork. I love him.

I am extremely arachnophobic..........

Poor Peter. He doesn't know what's going on. He's got superpowers, though.

You'd think I'd be a lot more prepared to watch a movie called Spider-Man, knowing full well that this one has actual spiders in it. But, nope! I shudder every time a spider comes on screen.

I hate Flash (Spider-Man Flash, not DC Flash.)

I love Uncle Ben. Like, very much so.

Peter and Gwen are very cute. Like, teeth-rottingly fluffy. I love them.

It'd be a shame if something happened to either of them.

He said the thing!!

Uncle Ben!!!😭😭😭😭😭

I'm gonna cry

"He's not a vigilante-" liar.

Good to know that Peter doesn't like spandex at first. He seemed so put off by the fact that every best option was spandex.

I love him. He's such a dork. He's so funny.

Curtis's got a new hand!

It's slimy af, tho.

It's also a bit scaley

He's struggling for words and it's adorable. He's so in love. She's so in love back.

Poor Gwen.

Poor Canoe.

He said the thing!!!

I love the subtitles in the soundtrack that I've never noticed before. Like, there's a series of notes that indicates whenever his Spidey Sense goes off. I never noticed it before now.

Godzilla joke. Subtle.

Godzilla joke mark 2. Also subtle.

Why does no one ever listen to kids? And then turn around, do as the kid suggested, and claim it as their own idea? It's bull.

His phone is so old...

I keep wanting to call The Lizard 'Killer Croc', but this is Marvel, not DC.

I also keep wanting to call him Doc. Oc, which is the right franchise, but the wrong villain.

Cop dad uncomfortable with period symptoms? Tsk, tsk.

Peter! You're hurt! Not the time to kiss your girl!

Hearing voices, doc? Hmm. Smells like a BBEG.

Gwen, sweetie, when people tell you to run away. Run away.

Stan Lee Cameo!!!

I miss him.

Maybe don't get close to the Big, Bad Lizard Man...

Gwen, honey, what did I say about running?

I love that the construction workers are helping him. Like, basically every villain says "No good deed goes unpunished." but Spidey saved one kid and now has all the blue collar workers helping him out. I love it and it doesn't get enough rep.

Cop Dad Stacy!😸

Cop Dad Stacy!🙀

Cop Dad Stacy!😿

Aunt May's a girlboss. I love her

Change a single letter and change the word game

I want to play a game with you all.

You have to make a new word by changing only one letter of the last word.

Why does an hour long Chair Nap keep me more well rested than six hours of Bed Sleep?

had a dream where i logged in to ao3 and saw this

so i'm manifesting it for every author who sees this

likes charge reblogs cast, rb to wish kudos and comments upon your favorite fics

That was out of pocket, but so fucking funny!🤣🤣💀

Idk what I expected, but this was not it, my dear

It'd be really funny if all of the members of YJ are so scared of being punished by their older counterparts, except Tim.

Which boggles YJ's minds. Because HUH? THATS BATMAN??? WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE NOT SCARED OF HIS PUNISHMENTS? SURELY THEYRE WORSE THAN ANY OF OURS?

Yj gets in trouble. Diana grounds Cassie and tells her no costume for a month. Clark tells Kon "im not mad im just dissapointed" (the boy is in tears). Barry/Wally tells Bart that hes "not crash" and that he's not allowed to run with them to Tokyo for a week. They're all on the ground crying.

Then they look over at Tim. They're terrified for him. Batman is in front of him, looming over him, glaring down at him. They're far away from the others but yj is still shaking in fear because look how pissed Batman is.

Then Tim "I lied to Batman" Drake walks back and grins at them. "He tried to ground me. I'll be back by tomorrow."
