The 'Five Things' Challenge!

Comment on this post with a 'five things' prompt for one of the fandoms listed below and I will answer with five alternate responses to the prompt, e.g. "Five People Rodney Banned From His Lab" (Stargate Atlantis), "Five Times Batman Called on Nightwing for Help" (Batman), "Five Things Gabriel Misses of Heaven" (The Prophecy), etc.

As this is very experimental, five prompts will be available per fandom -- if this works well the number might expand the next time around. Lurkers welcome, I don't have to know you if you'd like to request something. You can request as many as you like, so long as it's still available on the list.

Five Prompts Fandoms (bolded numbers next to fandom name indicate how many prompts are taken):

[+] X-Men (movie!verse) [5]
[+] Batman (movie!verse) [5]
[+] Hellboy (movie!verse) [4]
[+] The Prophecy [3]
[+] Superman Returns [2]
[+] Pirates of the Caribbean [2]
[+] Heroes [1]
[+] Supernatural
[+] Stargate (Movie)
[+] Stargate SG-1
[+] Stargate Atlantis
[+] Firefly/Serenity [3]
[+] Tekken

It's like offering myself up as a lamb to the slaughter.... I'm electing

trascendenza as my human shield.

Finally, one that fits.

1) Well, there was that time he was about nine, still on the New Mexican base and tried walking his dog after curfew. When the soldiers spotted him, he slammed on a helmet and slacks, but they took one look at him and shook their heads wryly. He should have thought of slicking on some jungle - err, desert paint.

2) The first time he met Liz she was startled, but only at first. He's not sure when he learned she wasn't scared of him, but it took a while longer for her to hold his eye and the first time he made her smile was when she learned he was fireproof.

3) "Ha! Found you!"

Crouched behind the tall bookshelf, Hellboy peered round its corner and yelped at the sudden tug on his tail. Whirling round he saw Liz grin and run back to the start at the base of the library staircase.

"How did you find me?" Hellboy tried to keep the whine from his voice as he trudged after her, rubbing the base of his tail. "Abe, did you tell?"

"I didn't tell!" Abe protested, already lined up behind Liz on the stairs.

Liz pointed behind him. "You gotta keep your tail down, Red! You're in this time."

Hellboy gave a cry of outrage.

4) Any time Hellboy had to cross the road he was like a beacon among the crowd. For this reason he either had to sprint or cross from the rooftops - and though he was loathe to admit it, the vaulting could really take it out of him. Clay had once suggested he wear a hood if he insisted on sneaking out, but his eyes still glowed, there was the matter of his tail and his impressive bulk still drew attention. So, Hellboy figured, why bother concealing himself at all?

5) Hellboy's been trying to shake this photojournalist for the last twenty minutes, but the kid won't take a hint and he would have rounded on him by now if he wouldn't have to answer to Manning back at HQ. Glancing over his shoulder, he sees the flash of blond hair duck behind a mailbox. Hellboy mutters under his breath and considers his options. He can lead the kid on a wild goose chase away from HQ, which is only a block ahead, be late for curfew and get lip from Manning anway.

Hellboy raises an eyebrow. He could try running for it, lead the kid right to the gates and still get yelled at after the BPRD spends a month dissuading suspicions.

Or....

Hellboy reaches for the phone the Bureau strapped him with and dials Myer's number from memory. "Hey, buddy!" He grins at the tired response. "You busy?"

#1: Awwww, nine year old Hellboy. So cute. ♥
#2: Ooooh, love the economy of language you used here. Very very effective.
#3: Hehehehe! I love this scene; it's so fun and I can just picture his tail waving around ^_^
#4: Good point, good point. With such an... impressive appearance, there isn't much point in concealing.
#5: LOL. Mischievous for the win!

#1 -- He loves his pets and he loves his pancakes, gah, making myself hungry. There's actually a series of comics that was written for when Hellboy was young (by contributing artists, I think, not the original one) and THEY ARE GORGEOUS! I was so fortunate to have said comics thrust under my nose.

#2 -- Thank you! 'Economy of language' is not a compliment I'll often get with my overflowing drabbles. XD

#3 -- Heehee, I have no idea when the BPRD moved to New Jersey or when the three superheroes came together, but I couldn't help myself. I had to see junior heroes play a game where HB's powerful redness would be a serious drawback.

#4 -- Well, Hellboy certainly thinks so, haha.

#5 -- Hey, I found out that DC and Dark Horse crossed over Batman and Hellboy several years ago (with Starman as well)! PING! Crossover opp! so, can you pick our trailing photojournalist? :DDD

I really need to get my hands on this crossover comic.

#1: I approve, as a fellow pet and pancake lover. XD
#2: Well, there is something to be said for overflow of wonderful language, as well ^_^ Both forms are hard to pull off well and you switch back and forth with ease. ^_^
#3: Well, I have no idea either, so no problems on my end ;) And I loved the way you used the prompt to write that, hehehe! 'Cause you know it had to happen at some point.
#5: Wait, you said blond hair... Jimmy? (Or do I just have a lot of Jimmy on the brain? Actually, you don't need to answer that, because it's a total resounding YES. *g*)

I ♥ crossovers. If I were a rich millionaire I'd just commission awesome crossover comics all the livelong day.

JIMMEH!

:}

Hey, is your icon Octavius and the cowboy from Night at the Museum? Because if it is... oh, joy.

It is! After I finished watching the movie today I kinda had to make this. Because they're so adorable and heroic and slashy. :}

OCTAVIUS: Go, save yourself!

JEDEDIAH: I'm not quittin' on you!

TRUCK TYRE: Hiss.

Oh, oh, my Brokeback joy is complete. I don't think my parents understood why I laughed as hard as I did.

And I love that Jedediah managed to get Octavius into the stocks despite all the Roman soldiers -- those two had the best sequences of that entire film. I have to say Ahkmenrah wasn't bad looking either, I was really confuddled at first when the Egytian Pharoah had an English accent.

Oh my God, I know. I almost kinda wish I hadn't known about that line before watching the movie, but it was still awesome. All their sequences had me busting up laughing, especially the stocks one because you SO KNOW THEY WERE HAVING KINKY SEX.

Akmenrah was all kinds of Egyptian hottie. I'm tempted to wrack my brain for some other equally hot historical character to slash him with. *g*
