I don't think this is that kind of story...

Mister Ficser said:
The Rock of Eternity was something of an odd location.

It was the home base of the wizard Shazam. The last surviving member of a now defunct order of wizards and watchers.

It was also a prison housing the greatest demons and monsters that he and his order had failed to truly best throughout the ages.

For Jebediah, the wizard Shazam, it was in truth both. He was bound to the Rock in such a way that he could not truly leave it. Not for any great amount of time.

Al can actually help with that, if it's brought to his attention. Between his hiveminded cloning spell and potential access to the Acorn of Far Travel spell (from an official WotC 3.5 D&D page that is now relegated to the depths of the Wayback Machine), that would allow Shazam to leave for extended periods of time and experience the world while also sticking around to do his duty.

The aged wizard used his staff to assist in bringing him to his feet. He was not so weak that he could not stand unassisted but age did have its ways of catching up with everyone.

And he could help with that, too, between his potions of youth and his ability to craft new bodies to swap to.

Even if they do suck pretty hard for being a form of "transhuman apotheosis." They're not very good.

Depends on which is funnier and/or plot-relevant: (A) Shazam visiting the outside world or (B) Alchemist going to the Rock of Eternity.

It'd be smart if Al sent a bilocation duplicate to the Rock of Eternity, just in case Shazam decides Al is evil and must be sealed away.

Alchemist: (channeling Jack Sparrow) "Remember this as the day you almost caught Alchemist!!!"
Billy: o_O "Is he quoting something? It feels like he's quoting something."

P.S.
Link: Suspendium (Object) - Comic Vine
For the skill [Alchemy: Conversion], in at least one continuity the Rock of Eternity contains Suspendium, solid time in crystalized form. Before Shazam tries to imprison Alchemist, the duplicate might be able to scan Suspendium and add it to his materials database.

Hammer of Percussive Maintenance!
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...

I now have this image of something like the batmobile or invisible jet getting absolutely wrecked, someone calling Al, and he shows up, goes:

"Well, let me take a look at it and give it a few knocks," while twirling a hammer, walking around the vehicle hitting it a few times, then comes back and goes. "Looks fine to me, just needed a bit of percussive maintenance." Then walks off as owner of the vehicle does a double take between the wreck it was and the level of newness/perfection to it now.

That would certainly save Batman a TON of money whenever the Batmobile gets set on fire. Or dumped in acid. Or gets hurled at high velocity into the multiverse's largest banana cream pie.*

I wonder who actually does maintenance and repair jobs on Batman's stuff?



*The Joker decided to actually be funny for once. According to Batman, he failed, miserably. According to Robin, The Flash, and everyone else in the League, it was hilarious.

They are that much of a threat, but just like Regular(lol) Great Old Ones. The threat isn't a direct problem that anyone will ever really face. Like Dorumannu or however the hell you spell his name, They need an Invite. And the threat they pose is existential, and usually not out of Malice.

Aside from Trigon and Darkseid I don't recall the Justice League ever directly dealing with anything That dangerous. The Cthulu expy that Grundy,Shayera, and Fate dealt with is the exception.
Constantine is usually the one to deal with those.

Marvel on the otherhand, is a full on cosmic entropy Death Multiverse. Fuck that place. No seriously, If I got Isekaid into a Marvel Universe without IMMEDIATE access to a means of ascension I'd just kill myself.

In DC there's a chance. Marvel just gets worse and worse.

DC is all in on the narrative causality and fate, and Marvel is just like 'Hah, have fun'

Anyone else scared of Yuffie meeting Harley Quinn?

Um, I can see several that could be infected by Yuffie. Harley Quinn, and Selina Kyle both come to mind.

Wasn't the local Harley Quinn sane at the moment? I could almost see her falling in with Alchemist. His group and life are so utterly insane. Instead of going around the twist like she usually does, I could see her doing something different here.
 
I hope the inverse ninja rule works in DC or the team will suffer greatly when they team up.Th e only thing worse than one troll ninja are two troll ninjas.
 
All I can think of now is an image of Alchemist with a baby carrier holding the newly hatched dragon in their human form (incredibly chubby baby) and Yuffie on a child leash looking bedraggled and tired as Yuffie is jumping around like the eight year old on a sugar high that she is.

God I love this story so much, this is what a SI should be, a force of Chaos who knows all the little buried secrets of the world that only an outside observer could while people freak out about their dark hidden pasts being brought out to the light

I can't say about Young Justice (or this continuity), but in the Timmverse/Batman: The Animated Series, it's done by Earl Cooper, its co-creator. You learn of him in "The Mechanic", a B:tAS 1st-season episode.

I could actually see Earl being upset about Batman's equipment being repaired magically.

Not because it would put him out of a job, but for a more practical reason.

Analyzing and repairing the damage is how he figures out how it needs improved.

Bullet holes through the side panel? Means the armor plating didn't hold up. Figures out if it was a bad batch of metal, if the crooks have picked up new AP ammo or if there's something else going on.

Engine burned out? Mechanical failure, chemical failure or some other issue. Let's figure it out and replace, upgrade or see about making a part out of a more resistant material.

Etc...

I could go on, but the point is that instant magical repairs certainly have their uses, they also come with certain drawbacks. Failure is a critical role to innovation and progress, much as we'd all like to say otherwise.

I mean, if you can somehow get Robin and Yuffie to take the Batmobile out for a joyride on the belief that Alchemist can fix whatever they break and Al hits them with the reasoning you just gave with Batman backing him up? Might be the in for the talk Alchemist wants to have with Yuffie.

"So." A voice came from behind him. "You're the 'Villainous Tinker' Scruff called to warn me about?"

Perhaps that could be "tinkerer"?
Like, "I like to tinker" "I am tinkering" "I am a tinkerer"? I mean, language shifts, and there is a great big neon-flashing reason to use "tinker" to describe "one who tinkers", but... I found it odd to hear it from a D.C. native...

Given that Alchemist has an ability designed specifically to counter the "clone decoy" defence, I would expect them to be a bit wary of relying upon it. Like, sure, "I can curse you using this blood-sample" or "I can cause someone else's ongoing effect to end immediately, and in exactly the manner to which I prefer" are likely very rare abilities, but I wouldn't trust D.C. to avoid them completely.
 
Well this is delightful. Yuffie is both little sister and security consultant wrapped into one adorable package!

The little interlude with the Flash reminds us that the man really is the approachable neighborhood type despite his ludicrous abilities

And then we have Jebediah who is about to suffer multiple revelation-caused heart attacks in a row, the poor man. I have no idea how big of a stick Billy's new spell is but I can't wait to see it used on its intended target.

Tinker is normal English for someone who tinkers. Tinker isn't the attention grabbing non-normal occupation in the title of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.
 
I have a question. Leslie the original body owner, does he now have a large apptitude for magic, and the stats before the alpha gamer jumped into the new body? Since in the new body they started out all over again. That might lead to interesting things between player 1 and Leslie for season two or potential nightmare fuel if nabu has him be the new fate. Maybe he could apprentice under Giovanni with zatana.
 
Given the blame his mother was willing to drop on Al for the sin of being an unwilling 'beneficiary' of what she doesnt want to admit was her son's suicide, Illuminati sounds more likely a fate for Leslie. Especially if he cant grow at gamer rates anymore and starts to resent Al and P1 pulling out ahead of merely human talents again.
 
Tinker, in a non Worm context, is fairly archaic, to a degree where one wouldn't expect to see it without some degree of explanation for why it's being used instead of something more modern. That being said, it doesn't require a lot of explanation, some characters just have old-fashionedness as a trait. I'm not sure if this "Scruff" is that sort of person, but only one person along the line of reporting needs to be for Barry to end up quoting it.
