The one where Donna hooks up with Michael Holt, aka Mr. 
Terrific II.

*pauses for  Smitty and  Nika's howls 
of rage/disgust to die down*

I know, I know. As written by Geoff Johns, Michael is the 
bestest and the fastest and the most wonderfullest at 
everything. He's as good a detective as Sand and as good a 
brawler as Hawkman and as good as--maybe better!--a 
doctor as Dr. Mid-Nite II. And we hates that, precious. But 
it wasn't that way when he first showed up, he didn't have 
to end up that way, and I remain convinced there's a decent 
character who's been buried under an avalanche of 
unearned writerly adoration. (Where's your rant on him, 
Smitty? I'd like to link to it.) Take him back to his roots and 
you have a very, very smart man who suffered a terrible 
loss, and thereafter dedicated himself to bringing a little 
justice into the world. A little fair play, even.

They'd meet at some JSA/Titans team-up event, fate of the 
world at stake, you know the drill. If I'd actually written the 
fic, I'd probably have skipped the whole thing and picked 
up at the cleanup/aftermath because actually writing the 
team-up part would require plot and horrorz, no! But 
someone more inclined to write plot/action-y things could 
write it. SHOULD. Because--

Because oh, man, we've seen JSA/JLA and JLA/Titans but 
there is a vast untapped well of interaction between the 
members of the JSA and the Titans, the first superhero 
team and the no-longer-kids who grew up in the life. I'd 
want to see the early Grayson/Faerber group for the Titans: 
Nightwing, Arsenal, Troia, Tempest, Flash, Jesse Quick, 
Cyborg, Starfire, Argent, Damage, and Changeling, 
dammit, because Gar is a Titan and fic doesn't have no 
stinkin' 10-member-limit. The usual suspects for the JSA: 
Sentinel, Flash, Fate, Hawkman, Wildcat, Power Girl, 
Atom-Smasher, Sand, Hawkgirl, Stargirl, Terrific, Mid-
Nite, and others as desired. But it's all about the 
connections, see. Like:

* Jesse and Grant's direct ties to the JSA;
* Roy's connection to Dinah;
* Donna as the daughter of Hippolyta; and 
* Wally and Jay's friendship.

Hell, the Titans are more connected to the JSA than the 
JLA ever was. Plus, dude! What I wouldn't give to see the 
JSA (particularly Alan and Carter) acknowledging 
Nightwing's leadership abilities, ala Obsidian Age. THAT 
part of OA was dead-on. 

What I want to see even more than that? Nightwing and 
Sand doing the tandem "trained by the world's greatest 
detectives" thing, with their very different styles. A plotty 
fic. A long plotty mystery fic YOU KNOW YOU WANT 
TO WRITE IT. *terrible whirling eyes* Anyone, Bueller?

*sigh*

ANYWAY. All of this is really irrelevant because a) I'm 
not writing any of this and b) it was all *handwave* setup 
to get Donna and Michael in the same place at the same 
time. And again, I had no plot or story for this, but the 
following random thoughts:

* They've both lost spouses to mundane circumstances. 
Children, too, if we accept Johns' belated reveal of Paula's 
pregnancy.
* Donna dated Roy and Kyle; she married Terry. That said 
a lot to me about what she was looking for in a longterm 
partner: stability and maturity. (Terry turned into a whiny 
jerk later, but when he first showed up? He was cool.)
* The idea of Donna having to work at a relationship for a 
change. Terry worshiped her, as did Roy and Kyle. She'd 
be competing with his memories of Paula, he doesn't have 
all those "perfect-Donna" preconceptions or know anything 
about her career. It'd be new territory for her. A challenge. 
She could use one.
* I like the imagery.

...no, for true. The real reason for writing this story would 
have been to see Smitty and Nika's heads explode. So it's 
probably a good thing I'm not writing it, neh?
