The Question and the Huntress, my favorite JLU couple, take the stage.

And his worldbuilding is amazing. I suppose we'll just trust that Clark is having a great time in Warworld until he comes plunging down to Earth at the right moment.

<Snipped quote by Lord Wraith>

Well that escalated quickly. Gee Thor, you miss one lousy boat job and now we're all suffering for it.

Can I presume this is happening at the same time as the Fire Troll attack?

@Cyrania

Right. But once Thor hears of this his only thought will be, "Why is my bounty so low?"

I do mostly mean black/English Breakfast tea over green/most herbal teas.

@Cyrania

Oh, I've never tried those. Only the green/herbal ones.

Hey, hot tea can be great!

My parents somehow are a fan of biscuits and gravy and I really don't get it.

@Cyrania

Lol I've managed to drink some forms of tea when my immune system demanded it, but it was certainly a battle.

Southerners are weird. I do not condone their kind. They make sugar water and call it tea.

@mickilennial

It's those country folk. I'm from the South and I've never understood white gravy biscuits or sweet tea(really any kind of tea).

You put gravy and cheese curds on fries, I don't want to hear it.

@mickilennial

Oh nah.

Ketchup too does belong on a hot dog.

And only ketchup

@Cyrania

I'm a ketchup and mustard man myself. Those condiments belong together. Where's the Condiment King? Only he can answer this.

Metropolis
Blake Family Residence

Donald lounged on the living room couch, watching the news, while petting his new cat that he dubbed, "Sir Midnight". He was just going to name him Midnight, but the cat had a strange noble feeling to him. Donald's life changed drastically after the Toyman incident. He was now a fully recognized hero in Metropolis with the Daily Planet's stamp of approval. Unfortunately he couldn't use his new status for any extra privileges or else he'd risk exposing his identity. He tried to visit his crewmates in the hospital afterwards, but they were in comas and no one outside of family was allowed to see them. Had he visited them as Thor first he doubted he would have had a problem visiting them. The owner of the demolition company had informed him that each member of the crew would receive quite a substantial insurance settlement for nearly dying on the job. A benefit for living in a world where villain attacks were becoming more common. He was going to use his payout to get himself his own place so he wouldn't bring any trouble to his parents' doorstep now that he officially had his own supervillain, one that didn't mind hurting others to take out his enemies. He still wasn't sure how he found him the first time and knew that he was Thor. That worried him.

His train of thought was interrupted by the news broadcast being interrupted by a live report from New York's Daily Bugle. He leaned up instantly when he saw the fiery creatures terrorizing the city. "What the hell?" He asked to no one at all since only he and Sir Midnight were in the room. He noticed a green man working to stop the creatures, but there were so many out there that he likely would've needed help. He squealed internally. Would this be his very first superhero team-up? He glanced over to the wall by the door where his mom hung his front page interview with Jackee from the Daily Planet. He placed Sir Midnight on the floor and said, "Daddy's gotta go. Don't give my parents trouble while I'm away."

Donald jumped up from the couch and walked over to the coat stand where Mjolnir hung by the wrist strap. "Mom, dad! I'm going to New York!" He picked up his mighty hammer and opened the door. He swung the hammer wildly before launching into the sky with it leading the way.

Sir Midnight pranced over to the open door's threshold to see Thor transform and disappear in a flash of lightning. This could be a fascinating experiment. There was no way he was going to miss this. Green light surrounded the cat teleporting him away to New York to watch the show as it unfolded.

New York
@Cyrania@Half Pint@mattmanganon@Bounce@Taka@Master Bruce

Rain clouds could be seen shadowing the city of New York. There were no signs of them in the sky before and it seemed like they formed out of nowhere. Heavy rain started to pour down all over the city, but not enough to flood the streets. Thor's aim was to hinder the flaming giants and assist the firefighters in dousing out the fires that were spreading. He didn't want to make things worse for the civilians at the same time.

Thor flew to the area that he recognized on the live broadcast to see one of the giants charging fire in their mouth at the overzealous helicopter that was getting a little too close to the action. "Hey, Ugly!" He called out, catching the beast's attention at the last moment. It prepared to fire its blast at him, but he drew faster. He launched Mjolnir at its jaw causing its mouth to close creating a fiery explosion in its mouth. He knew it wasn't likely to take direct damage from its own flames, but he did what he intended in saving the copter and reporters inside. He recalled Mjolnir and summoned a large bolt of lightning from the clouds above sending the behemoth crashing to the ground.

Thor flew in front of the helicopter's flight path and shook his head at the pilot. "You all need to get out of here!" He yelled over the sound of the rain. "It's not safe!" He turned to see a wave of water coming from the harbor to douse other flame giants. That must've been another hero and one who could manipulate the elements as well. He flew over to find the green man from his TV and a man with fire for hair working together to protect a train. He was surprised to see that his rain had no effect on the latter's flames. New York had some interesting heroes. How was this his first time coming here? "Hey, do you two need any help?"

Kimetsu no Yaiba AU: Temen-ni-Guru (Arc 2)

Himari Tsugikuni

---

Today's training had been intoxicating for Himari. She hadn't been pushed that much since her training sessions with Hikaru. As they made their way to the Onsen she replayed her spars with Miyuki and Kousai in her mind. Five hours of sparring until her body could no longer give in. That's exactly what she needed. The pain throughout her body was a testament to the growth she was forcing herself to experience in such a short period of time. She still had a long way to go, but she felt closer to her goals of avenging Hikaru and the Tsugikuni clan.

She was surprised by how much she and Miyuki ended up getting along after their initial interaction. She wasn't as much of a spoiled brat as Himari originally believed. She was also a pretty decent sensei, though she wondered how differently training would have gone under Kenzo instead as the progenitor of the martial arts. Maybe one day she could seek one on one training from him. After all he did face both a Demon Lord and Consort together and survived to tell the tale. And as a close friend of Hikaru she was sure that he had some stories to tell that even she didn't know yet.

Himari stretched her arms in the air when they reached the Onsen's entrance allowing the gas bubbles in her joints' synovial fluid to burst creating that addictive popping sound. She sensed the demons inside as well, but wasn't as bothered by them as Tenko had been. Had she not said anything she would've completely ignored their presence. Demons were in a way still human. She wasn't surprised that they also had the inclination to rest, relax, and take a nice bath. All she cared about at the moment was if this onsen banned tattoos or not.

She gave a warm smile to the proprietress. "Thank you, madame." She then followed the others inside.

She shook her head at Jae-un when he suggested wanting to try out Soryū in a real fight against a demon. As much as she agreed with the sentiment she was not going to let either of them disrupt their downtime. "Let's not disrupt this business and ruin my soak just to test our skills. I'm going to the women's bath. You coming, Tenko?" She didn't wait for an answer and headed to the women's room to disrobe.

It smelled wonderfully in the women's room. Whether this was a place for demons or humans it was clear that the proprietress knew how to make the environment welcoming and pleasant to her guests. Himari didn't waste time disrobing and washing her body with the herbal soap provided. Once she was done cleansing herself she grabbed a towel and walked out into the bath area. She didn't wrap it around her body since she had nothing to hide from fellow women. She didn't care what the other guests thought about her tattoos either. She stepped into the steam-filled air and inhaled deeply before letting out an exhale. "This is great. I can't believe it's my first time here."

She looked around to see other women already in the hot spring. She gave them the same warm smile she gave the proprietress and walked over to a non-occupied part of the path and stepped in letting out a deep, "Ahhh", as she submerged her body. "That's the stuff."
