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.

How about Cass and Tim during World War II. Tim comes home after being away at war.

I'm not sure what Cass' ethnicity is.

"Go back to Asia, you Jap!" A boy shouted. Cass ignored him. He wasn't the first person to accuse her, and he wouldn't be the last.

Tim, though, glared at him. Only Cass' tight grip on his arm stopped him from attacking the boy.

"It's...usual," Cass muttered. "Don't respond."

"Cass, he can't do that to you! I mean, you're not a spy! You're not even Japanese!"

Cass shrugged. "Still. Won't help."

That's when one of the boys threw a rock.

Tim was in front of the boy and shaking him before Cass could stop him.

"Look, you. I've been in the trenches for three years. I've just got home and I want some damn peace. If she was a spy, she could have killed you before that stone had hit the ground. Now leave her alone before I show you exactly what life was like on the front lines."

Cass pulled him off. "Let it go," she said. "Not worth it."

Tim reluctantly followed her. "I just can't stand to see them treat you like that. We both know you could take those guys."

Cass just shrugged.

Tim shook his head. "I guess I'd just built America up so much in my memories that now that it isn't perfect, I'm disappointed."

"Sorry," Cass said.

"Not your fault," Tim said. "God, I don't know. It was hard enough losing Allen and Kent. I just...I don't want to see anyone else I love hurt in any way."

Cass smiled and touched his shoulder. "I'm here," she said. "It's okay."

Tim smiled. "Yeah, thanks, Cass."

Oh I love Tim! He's so brave. His defending Cass, even though she could kick ass if she wanted, shows how sweet he is.

Thank you for this!

It was a fun one!

Even if I kinda depressed myself a little there. Poor Tim.
