Give me some characters and an alternate universe. Maybe a prompt too, if you'd like. I'll give you at least a drabble about them in that universe.

Do as many as you want, but only one prompt per comment so I can reply to each separately.

Booster, Beetle, and Guy. Justice Riders!

"To us," Beetle said, raising his glass.

"Yes, to us," Booster said. "Best damn partnership around."

"Indeed," Beetle said. "I'm so glad - " he was interrupted by a girlish squeal.

"Sakes alive, you're the Baltimore Kid!" a lady said. "Oh, Mr. Gardner, it's such an honor!"

Guy Gardner was indeed sitting at the bar.

Beetle and Booster made eye contact. "Let's get out of here," they said together.

They stood up and started walking towards the entrance.

"Hey, you two!" Gardner shouted.

Booster and Beetle froze as all eyes fell on them.

"Mr. Gold and Mr. Beetle, ain't it? I'd recognize that silly hat of yours anywhere, Mr. Beetle."

"Told you to leave the damn hat at home," Booster muttered.

"Look, Mr. Gardner," Beetle said. "We don't know where Kid Flash is anymore'n you do. Probly, we know less."

"Don't matter. He been and gone from court. Got declared not guilty." Guy scowled. "I dunno what those Eastern courts are like, but I don't buy it."

"Oh," Beetle said. "Then what did you want with us?"

"Can't a man bid two old friends hullo?"

"We're friends?" Booster said blankly. Beetle kicked him.

"Course we are, course," Gardner said. "What're you two doing around here anyway?"

"Selling weapons," Beetle said.

"Vacationing," Booster said at the same time. They looked at each other.

"Vacationing," Beetle said.

"Selling - " Booster looked at Beetle. "Selling weapons on vacation."

"That don't make a lick of sense, but I'm drunk enough not to question you," Gardner said. "C'mon, lemme buy you two a drink."

Booster and Beetle looked at each other, alarmed. They really, really wanted to get away from Gardner as fast as they could. He was kind of scary.

"Gold can't hold his liquor!" Beetle blurted out.

"Really?"

Booster glared at Beetle. "Yeah, can't hold it at all. Really terrible."

Gardner laughed. "Go on, you two." He turned to one of the barmaids. "Now, you said your name was Tora?"

"Don't even think about it," the other barmaid warned.

Booster turned to Beetle as they left the bar. "You think he reckoned we're screwing?"

Beetle shrugged. "Sure hope not, Booster. Sure hope not."
