Fic noodling

I've decided that there needs to be a scene in my DCnU/Original DC Comics story where Piper sneaks a large group of people into a building by playing With Catlike Tread

Also, talking with ellen_fremedon, we decide that there should be a support group for parents of meta and superhero kids in the DC Universe called P-SUPE (pronounced 'pea soup').

Random Person With Piper: What was that?
Piper: *sighing* Nobody appreciates the classics anymore.

*groans appreciatively*

There are enough sidekicks and legacy heroes in the DCU you'd think this would have come up before, but I can't think of anything offhand. Maybe because if the kids are a team, it's not a formal support group so much as "the parents of Young Justice have regular meetings" (I can think of at least one example), and outside the team the parents don't necessarily know how to find each other, secret identities being what they are and all. Maybe Oracle sends them all invitations to the meetings.

...or, actually, she probably sends them invitations to the chat room. Virtual meetings address both potential security issues and impractical commutes--it's a long way between, say, El Paso and Gotham City.

Oh, I'm sure at least one person will recognize it. Piper might have a chorus singing 'tarantara'. I think someone would object more to the fact that Piper would be proposing to sneak in under the music of a trumpet played fortissimo...

BWAHAHA. Blame ellen for that! Actually, I was thinking more along the line of a group for parents of kids with powers, whether or not they were superheroes as well. There's got to be a lot more kids with powers than there are kids running around in spandex.

Certainly, a lot of it would be on-line, but at least in big cities there would be face-to-face meetings.
