It's a Britishism.Bottling out? What does that mean? Should that be "bolting out" instead? Right from the first line, I am confused.
EDIT: The American equivalent apparently would be "chicken out".

Thanks! That's much clearer now.
Pretty sure that should be "Your powers".
Put a magnet, even a stationary one, close to your computer and see how that works out for you.
Isn't fate out of commission being a construct in Grayvens timeline... and Grayven has given up the orange power ring?Why not ask Zatanna or Fate?
Seems like figuring out a healing spell wouldn't be beyond them.
He hasn't given it up, he's just not using it to conserve his now-limited power supply. Construct Lanterns only use up power at the moment of creation, as I recall from the Truggs ordeal and the Hell thing, so Nabu should still be around.Isn't fate out of commission being a construct in Grayvens timeline... and Grayven has given up the orange power ring?
In this story only magnetic metals are magnetic.This is comic-science, ALL metals are magnetic, and even if some were not, magnetic powers would probably still work on them. Hell I'm pretty sure if the writer feels like it, magnetic powers will affect even non-metals.
It isn't and I will.2. I really hope this isn't what Mr. Zoat meant by getting more Kid Flash. With any luck, he'll be showing up when we transition back to the main story in a few days.
Very nearly.3. I'm hoping this will give us a chance to see Grayven do something unambiguously heroic and good.
Thank you, corrected.
I love the idea of the Genomorphs adding arcane lore to their hive mind database, especially since they build new subspecies(?) using mythological creatures as a template.She already started building her own arcane laboratory and has a team of G-Dwarves transcribing and indexing every piece of arcane lore she can find. A worthwhile investment, to be sure.
Grayven really should legally establish guardians or godparents for Lynne in case anything ever happened to him.Wait a minute. He actually IS. He's a New God, and he's a spiritual father. He's a god-father!
It doesn't really have one. It's part of the Department of Metahuman Studies of the Metropolis University.
He has. It's Scott and Barda.Grayven really should legally establish guardians or godparents for Lynne in case anything ever happened to him.
That must have been a hilariously awkward conversation for them.
"You're Lynne godparents now."That must have been a hilariously awkward conversation for them.
"You're Lynne godparents now."
"We're not going to-"
"Thanks for agreeing, you're such good people, bye now."
"... I hate him so much."

Maybe. But it was the Renegade who helped Wallace with his own metapower difficulty, and he's thinking beyond her current injuries. There isn't much hope for someone who's a walking electronics bane if she can't dramatically improve her control quickly.
Wallace knew for a fact that Grayven can fix both problems, and the doctors were having trouble treating her due to her control problem. Wallace doesn't know how good Zatanna's healing magics are.Seems like a stretch to jump from "she's going to die because she needs medical attention inmediately" to "better make sure can control her powers so she doesn't encounter problems in everyday life."
The needles are only used once due to sanitary reasons right? They're not broken after being used, just contaminated.You would have to be VERY desperate. STEEL needles are ALREADY one-time tools. Most plastics just cannot be made sharp enough to function. Those that can, and that can be made into a fine enough tube, are also very brittle.
I wasn't confident in which metals were and were not magnetic at midnight just before I went to sleep.Aluminum would be a much better choice. It's not ideal (if it were, we'd be USING it) but it would work well enough and it'd be easier to actually manufacture the needle.
Provided the baby isn't human, sometimes. We eat chicken eggs after all.@Jamie Roberts , have you ever thought about eating a random baby alive?
Technically that's always true, regardless of which specific metals are magnetic.
No, Grayven is the godparent. Scott and Barda are the goduncle and godaunt, respectively."You're Lynne godparents now."
"We're not going to-"
"Thanks for agreeing, you're such good people, bye now."
"... I hate him so much."
He can't even contact the Earth 50 ones.
In the provided link, she was the one who caused the car crash through her uncontrolled magnetic powers. If Grayven just heals and leaves, she's likely to cause another in short order.Seems like a stretch to jump from "she's going to die because she needs medical attention inmediately" to "better make sure can control her powers so she doesn't encounter problems in everyday life."
He probably could. It would take a good deal of effort and some trial and error, but they're not totally out of reach.
So Grayven's the Godfather now...
EDIT: Wait a minute. He actually IS. He's a New God, and he's a spiritual father. He's a god-father!
If you have a solid-state hard drive and a non-CRT display, this won't be a problem at all. I use a magnetic dash mount for my cell phone.Put a magnet, even a stationary one, close to your computer and see how that works out for you.
It's not JUST sanitary reasons, but those are the most significant. The sharpness of the edge wears with every use, and after as few as three uses the tip has blunted sufficiently to cause substantially more pain on insertion.The needles are only used once due to sanitary reasons right? They're not broken after being used, just contaminated.
Repeat customers, nice.If Grayven just heals and leaves, she's likely to cause another in short order.
On the other hand, Constantine has a lot less magical oomph than a Lord of Order or a nascent New God of magic.Come to think of it, if major healing magic was anything other than extremely rare then Constantine wouldn't have had to go to Hell of all places to get a cure for his lung cancer.
But he knows a lot about the magical community. If strong healing magic was anything other than really rare he could have found a better alternative. Even Constantine doesn't treat deals with Hell as his first choice of options.On the other hand, Constantine has a lot less magical oomph than a Lord of Order or a nascent New God of magic.
I assumed the issue was that by the time in his career where the lung cancer became a problem, he'd developed a sufficiently bad reputation that none of the healers he knew about wanted anything to do with him. Like, by bad reputation, I mean "people around him are overwhelmingly likely to die horribly", not just "he's a dick."But he knows a lot about the magical community.

Given what I recall of Frankie in the comics, Grayven may well decide to recruit her, so 'very nearly' fits... though that may not be what Zoat meant.
I argue that those characters are metallokines, not magnetokines, but CALLING it "magnetism" gives a better mental image, both for the readers and for people in-universe. Given that most structural metals ARE ferromagnetic, most exhibitions of the power would look the same anyway.You have to remember that comic-book magnekines control all metals, not just ferrous metals.
