He’s sure to think this consideration will go a long way!!

Looks at the {READER}.

@halhighball.bsky.social Waves. “ Hey, Hal.”

Yawn.

He’s just nice like that.

"I won't hear slander about ANY of my Spider allies. They are all whatever identity they choose to be. There's no ONE Spider-Man. It's an ideology."

He wanna give ‘em a chance before labeling her as crazy

they look cray-cray

“ you are acting strange….”

“ Doctor Fate.” He replied, eldritch energies surrounds him as he just arrives.

“ okay so this kind of behavior was normalized & rationalized for you.” “ let me be the one to tell you that your parents should of intervened & work to stop that behavior.”

“ Were your parent aware you were a mean girl?”

“ August, I’m serious here.”

“ August no offense but you’re biased based on your own experiences & you have a habit of playing Devil’s Advocate with me on these things. Also, your judgement for this situation compromising in a way it is a bit too disturbing.”

“ Even if she was in my defense, how she went about it & its outcome is important too. And in that, unnecessary violence was the outcome. It was also preventable.”

“ Cisco, I don’t endorse using violence as a solution. This is not a battle magic shonen where a good fight can build camaraderie. Also her magic tends to skew beyond its intended effects.” “ Her curse is strong enough to kill Solomon Grundy for several days. That’s just irresponsible.”

“Teenage girls are mean is not an excuse for them being cruel. There is never an excuse for cruelty and hatred.”

“ I disagree with that notion. As the adult, it is important we maintain a presence & correct the behavior appropriately & timely.” “ maybe I should step up more in some areas. That path will vary & reveal itself. But that is a different topic & discussion…..one that distracts from the CURRENT —

lowkey agreeing with the Doc here.

“ I’m sure she does but she’s also gotta treat people with respect & dignity, not start off with insults, no matter which comes first.” “ I believe this expectation & boundary is attainable, reasonable, and requires some trepidation. Your way risks excusing & promoting the —

“ I’m sorry. Are people thinking this is a public discussion? Because it’s NOT. ‘Girls being bitches’ is NOT justification for easing up on bully behavior.” “ Also IM the legal guardian here last time I checked.”

“ August, /DROP/ it.”

SIGH. “It is challenging. Especially with the circumstances given.”

“ This is also not the first time. The Justice Society & Stargirl have kept me privy on her behavior.”

“ no offense but I didn’t ask.” “ I’m dealing with it IN THE MOMENT. Her goading & insults are what bullies do & in my upbringing, that was never allowed or taken lightly.” “ She will correct that behavior if she is to continue acting as a superhero.”

"Um, Khalid? I have to agree with her there. Girls get into cat fights all the time."

“ Are we at an understanding?”

“I am not accepting bully behavior.”

“ Is the name ‘Kent Nelson’ stamped on my forehead? NO! Your behavior is inexcusable & unbecoming for any apprentice of Doctor Fate.” “ I dunno what it is today but it STOPS now. You are grounded. And that includes a time out on superhero activity. I will inform the Justice Society.”

Pauses & sighs. “ I will tell them & make them aware. I don’t want to see you offensively use your magic on Salem, understand?! She will be punished for it.”

“ Definitely grounded by the way.”

He appeared without the helm. “ I understand her words were provocative but violence for these reasons is still unacceptable. Do I have to have a talk with your parents?”

The wave wouldn’t connect due to his timely intervention. “ KNOCK. IT. OFF.” He looks at @fatewitchcraft.bsky.social. “ Get back to the Tower.” He next looks as Irma. “ I’m sorry for her attitude but using magic to attack is a no-go. Cease or I’ll have a talk with your parents. Understood?!”

“ You TWO…” he removes the helm. “ KNOCK IT OFF!”

“ you don’t even actually eat anyway.”

“ It’s call holding people accountable for their actions.” He responds. “ Apology accepted.”

“ Kinda part of the point Í was making.”

“ But I am Dr. Fate & your legal guardian.” He points out. “ Stitch, put the popcorn away.”

“ This Dr. Fate is also not above grounding the Witch Girl.”

“ It goes beyond ‘saying’ it’s an accident. Maturity & growth happens when we confront the reality as it truly is, not downplay it.” “ If I sound like your dad, it’s probably for good reasons.”

I've had two Magiks flirt with me and I'm not sure if they're both equally flirty because they're near-universe counterparts or if I misread our interactions AS flirty because I'm helplessly confused.

“ The point is you should be apologizing, not justifying. I coulda been an ordinary dude caught in a spell for existing.” “ Mistakes happen but it’s important to own up to it.”

“ this is a lil different, Kay? I was stretching & yawning, not kissing someone without consent…?”
