Compassion Be With You (Young Justice Quest)

So, looking it up... we probably landed on Alec Holland's doorstep?

[x] Hi, I'm looking for Swamp Thing. I was wondering if they wanted a sidekick?

[X] See if this Alec Holland has a connection with the green.
-[X] If he does see if that connection applies to us, as a fellow plant based lifeform.
[X] Say hi and introduce yourself, first impressions are important.

Well I don't know if those forces like the green or red or grey, exist on young justice earth so I put the first one to check that. The second part is just being a good intergalactic neighbor...

Doesn't the swamp thing live in a bayou somewhere? Unless that hasn't happened, in which case we might encounter John Constantine at some point, which would be.... interesting.

For the moment I think, we should keep it down a bit with the super-stuff...at least until we´ve established formal contact with the JL. If we are annywhere near Bat Turf, he probably won´t take kindly to an unkown Super appearing

if this is indeed swamp thing, do you think he could use his connection with the Green to do a bit of biological editing to you?
nothing major mind you, but still?

Far too suspicious for the moment...I mean,, where should we know of the conection bewteen Holland and Swamp Thing (Had to look it up myself) in-character? And before someone calls me a hypocrite on "staying in-character": It is plausible for our Indigo Ring to have knowledge of certain planets in the galaxxies, depending on their importance, but individual people? No way of doing that without sounding creepily controlling and Big-Brother-like

    So, two things for clarity:

    The Indigo Ring is as powerful an information-gathering tool as a typical Lantern Ring in fics of this type. Its current database consists of minute detail on a few hundred countries on specific planets well outside our galactic arm, as well as overview information of the functionality of the GLC, well-known members thereof as of roughly fifty years ago, and a Sector map. Please note that the 3600 Sectors do not cover the entire universe, each consisting of a few thousand star systems within our galaxy. The rest of the universe that the Guardians have neither knowledge nor influence over, and they're okay with this. (The only entry on Sector 2814 in the database is primarily concerned with Ungara. Earth is not mentioned.)

    As to DC canon, and characters thereof, I will be the primary continuity researcher for this fic. If I bring something up, or mention it, and Weasel doesn't know what I'm talking about or has to look it up on the internet, then the SI doesn't know about it. Mr. Holland's nature as the Swamp Thing is not something Peony is aware of.

    Yeah, I just jumped on what looked like a possible connection. It's not even confirmed that this is Alec Holland or, as far as I know, that Alec Holland is Swamp Thing in this continuity. There seems to be a few possible identities and I don't even remember Swamp Thing being present in Young Justice at all.

    Still, I can't quite give up my urge to go to random earthlings asking to be the sidekick of a hero who may or not exist like it's the most normal thing in the world :p

    I'm convinced.

    We have a translator, right?
    Anyway, it's time to start downloading the internet, then we steal all their media and come back home and become a successful pop idol thus fulfilling our greatest dream.

    All rings are translators by default, why would we want to be a pop idol and I'm not sure our cultures match enough to do that.

    Weasel and I are dealing with some RL issues and are in bad headspace as a result. Updates will be sporadic, please bear with us.

    You scramble to your roots, turning to face the person you've teleported to the front yard of. Carefully, you raise your hands in an attempt to look non-threatening.

    "Hello over there!" you call to the person as they emerge from their hut. "May I ask where I am and how I get to the nearest big city?"

    The man (Mr. Holland?) stays silhouetted in his doorway, silently considering you for just long enough to be uncomfortable. Just turn 'round and… you can't hear me, can you?

    And then a bit more. ...'lo?

    Just when you're about to open your mouth, he speaks. "Yes." Fuckit, might as well have some fun.

    Ohhh kay... "Uh, can you tell me?"

    "Yes." Heh.

    "...Will you?"

    "Once you ask, yes." Ain't gonna figure it yourself, are you?

    You sigh. Talk about a frustrating man. "Where am I and where is the nearest big city?"

    "You're in my front garden," he tells you in a stunningly informative statement. Poor man sounds like he's a bit congested… "Turn 'round and walk straight and you'll hit Houma in about an hour. Ain't Metropolis, but there's a warehouse store downtown." Good compost there.

    Huh. "Uhh... And you don't mind that I'm, ya know... an alien?" ...Hey, ya gotta ask.

    "I seen Swamp Thing before, he operates 'round here. Compared t'that face, you're right pleasant." Been workin' on that, ain't got far. Only so much you can do with peat.

    Wait, Swamp Thing?! As in... the… he has some connection to the Green, you just don't remember what exactly.

    "Ohh, kay! Thanks for the info, Mr. Holland, I'll just..." you turn around and begin spider-scurrying away on your roots. "...be on me way, then." You know enough about Swamp Thing to know messing with him or anyone connected to him is probably a bad idea! Fuckin' right it is.

    You pause. Unless... Hm... You ARE a plant alien. Hell, from what you learned in biology class, Phytognosts are really just plants that achieved sapience. Shit, you literally call yourselves "thinking plants!" Surely you have some connection to the Green? It governs all plant life, and you're plant life! And if Mr. Holland knows Swamp Thing... Hmmm… 'Bout time you cottoned on, girly.

    • [X] Ask Mr. Holland about Swamp Thing.

    Having green elemental magic and a power ring will make life so much easier... As in the ring will give us a high powered tech solution, while the green will give us a high powered druid/green-magic solution.:)

    Though that does bring up the question of "is the green only found on earth?". Though if it is only on earth it could be because earth has the white entity so has so much more metaphysical life.

    Also now that i thought of the entities, is there an indigo tribe in young justice verse? if not we should hunt down the indigo entity Proselyte...
