 the ROAD TRIP meme
You know who likes a good road trip? Everyone likes a good road trip! So aren't you glad you get to go on one now? Of course you are.

How it works:
1. Post with your character, with their name | canon and any preferences in the subject line
2. Someone else tags you. Congratulations, those characters are now on a road trip together! To where? Who cares! We only care about the journey here
3. Go to the RNG and get a random number between 1 and 15 to pick your scenario, or combine numbers or make up your own
4. ???
5. ROAD TRIP STYLED PROFIT!

Scenarios:
1: LOST You should have made a left toin at Albuquerque, or maybe you've been holding the map upside down this whole time! Whatever it is, you're hopelessly LOST. Will you make it back on the path to your destination, or will you find a new adventure? Try not to open any hatches.

2: Tourist Trap Okay, you're all for seeing the sights, but World's Biggest Doorstopper? World's Smallest Chicken? World's Noisiest Whistle? Do we really have to stophere, too?

3: Car Trouble Maybe you got a flat tire. Maybe your engine's stalled. Or maybe you just overestimated how far you could get on a half tank of gas. Either way, you're broke down on the side of the road and the nearest station is miles away; better get behind it and push!

4: Bad Weather Driving in the rain? No problem. Driving in torrential downpours or a blinding blizzard? Big problem! Better find a way to get out of the storm fast!

5: When Ya Gotta Go... Didn't I tell you to go before we left? Well, even if you did, maybe you shouldn't have had that 44 ounce Super Big Gulp, because there's not another rest stop for miles. Maybe you can find an empty bottle in the back...

6: Road Delays Stuck in traffic? Stuck at road construction? Stuck in a funeral procession? Bridge out? Whatever it is, it's blocking your way. Do you wait patiently, or maybe find your own way around it.

7: Smokey and the Bandit Oh no, those blue lights behind you can't be good. Maybe you should just pull over and accept your speeding ticket like a decent citizen. Or, maybe you should floor it. High speed chase anyone?

8: Night Driving You decided to drive through the night, and now it's one AM and you're all out of coffee. Wake up a friend and make them help you stay awake; falling asleep at the wheel is dangerous!

9: Ghost Town Boy, this town sure is quiet. And... kind of creepy. Oh God, did something in those corn rows just move? I hear banjo music; DRIVE FASTER!

10: Roadkill Good going, you hit an animal. I sure hope you feel good about yourself. Now you've killed the poor- oh, it's still moving? What do we do now!?
      10a: The I Know What You Did Last Summer Edition That animal you hit was a little more human than you care for... oh          dear...

11: ROAD RAGE That jerk cut me off! How dare he!? I'll make him pay! Or maybe you cut off a less-than-friendly driver of your own, and now he's after you...

12: Carjacked Awww, that was a good lunch. ...Wait, I know this is where we parked... Dude, where's the car!?!?

13: Hitchhiking Who said you needed a car for a road trip? Stick that thumb out and catch a ride where you're going. Maybe you and a buddy are chillin' with the pigs in a trailer, or maybe that nice looking hitchhiker you picked up down the road is not as nice as you thought...

14: Fantasy Car Roads? Where you're going, you don't need roads. If you're in Doc's DeLorean, anyway. Or maybe the car is really Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Or a spy car. Or the Batmobile. Or a Transformer! Whatever it is, this car is NOT normal.

15: Are We There Yet? Roller's choice! Pick your favorite option, or two, or three, or just roll with whatever feels right!

LOST. So lost.

[futures_of_ash]

Hitchhiking, generally, had a few rules. One: One should be in contact with the road to be traveled upon. Two: There should be some form of wheeled motor vehicle approaching. Three: A thumb should be held out.

Guess which one of the three the very lost mutant in the sky was managing?

She had her knees tucked to her chest and a thumb held out, and that was about the only normal thing in this scenario. She'd come into the world falling, the spreading bruise along her face and a sleeve that was slowly turning red were probably bad signs. The weird signs were the fact that she was some hundreds of feet up in the air when she heard the sound of a vehicle and she seemed utterly unperturbed by the fact.

Make that two vehicles. What appeared to be a black, finned monstrosity of a cool-looking car was in pursuit of a large, featureless truck. There appeared to be no driver within said car because its presumed owner happened to be standing atop the other vehicle, currently engaged in hand-to-hand combat with a bunch of ninjas. Batman was attempting to stop one shipment of venom from reaching a ferry to Santa Prisca, as he's already sent Nightwing, Robin, and Batgirl to apprehend the others. The only catch was that each shipment was guarded by the League of Shadows - hence the ninjas.

But Bruce is far above the tier of any ninja, and it showed as he knocked several off the truck in one fell swoop. It was simply a matter of taking them down one at a time, made all the more dangerous by being done on a moving conveyance at top speed.

She...wasn't feeling well. She'd just come very far, very fast, after something horrific. Was it any wonder that she didn't have much patience or attention for a plethora of ninjas? When she drifted low enough that the top of the truck (or a flying ninja) might clip her she held up a tired, bleeding hand. "Stop,".

The word came like thunder with the taste of blood in the mouth and glass along the nerves. She couldn't help it, she was leaking some, and she was tired enough that her teke was a bit shaky as she lifted the two vehicles off the ground. "Please..."

[darkpatriarch]

Bruce knew a metahuman when he saw one, interpreting her raised hand as a signal to vacate the premises. Once the truck and even his Batmobile were up in the air, he back-flipped off and glided down to safety. The ninjas, with all their training, deftly landed square on the pavement, only to encounter Batman's every punch and kick. For a moment, he simply had to take down the immediate threat - before addressing the greater one above.

His eyes narrowed as he drew several batarangs from his belt, prepared to confront this stranger if she proved to be malevolent.

It had been meant more as a signal that she couldn't handle fighting at the moment, no, not right now...but since he handled the remnants of the ninjas with alacrity she didn't have to worry about it. The vehicles were settled back down on the ground, careful of the inert villains, then she reached out the still bleeding hand down toward the man still standing. "Where am I?"
