Fangirls are Heroes

Summary:

When a teenaged ComiCon-goer falls through a portal to the DC Universe, will she be able to save the world from plot holes and contingency errors?

-This story gives a new backstory to the oft-forgotten DC character, Jessie Quick. It was bothering me that she doesn't get the attention she deserves from the fans or the writers, so this is where this spawned from. The characterizations might be a bit OOC, but that's just because I'd like to see more facets of character's personalities represented.

Chapter 1: The WormHole at the Convention

Chapter Text

I walk into comic-con in my favorite Flash T-shirt with a button that says "This is my cosplay". Then suddenly a massive dark blue swirling cloud like wormhole opened up in front of me. "Cool", I said with a giggle,"This year's entrance is way better than last years!" Intrigued by the dark lights spiraling into a deep, dark oblivion I tentatively stepped through expecting the comic-con welcome signs surrounded by thousands of cos-players. Boy was I surprised...

My world spins out of control as I tumble wildly into the darkness. Suddenly I hit a cold metal table and light seems to return to the world. I get up from the table and happily realize I'm still at Comic-Con inside a perfect replica of The Watchtower's conference room surrounded by cos-players in a group costume for The Justice League.
I walk up to the team's Batman, genuinely amazed with the detailing on his costume, and say "Well you aren't Dick or Terri so you must be Bruce. Nice I love the detail on your costume, but I always preferred The Dark Knight version." Batman immediately glares at me and Bat-growls "How do you know my name!!!" I mentally shriek "OMG roleplay!" But I force myself to be chill. I can't stick around or I won't get my comic book signed by Stan Lee. So I smirk and compliment "Wow you can even do the voice! Whenever I try I just get a sore throat." He looks angry. I guess he really wanted to rp today.

I went to exit but decide to warn the Wonder Woman first. I say "Honey your costume is spot on, but every nerd from Star Wars to Deathnote are gonna stare." She looks honestly offended, but I smile when I hear The Flash chuckle behind me.

I walk past her and notice the helmet on their Hawkwoman almost looks real. So I ask, "Where'd ya get your helmet? It looks exactly like the real one." She looks at me confused and then studders "Um. Thandigar." The grin slides off my face and I quickly retort. "Fine. If you don't want to tell me, just say so..." I spin on my heel to escape an angry fangirl, but come face to face with Green Lantern instead.

I complain loudly to the group, "Why did you pick John Stewart. The fanboys hate him for replacing Hal. But still at least he's not Guy Gardner!" I shove past the bewildered GL and stumble into The Flash still laughing from the Gardner joke. He stares for a second before I realize he's the only member I haven't addressed yet. So I patronize "You obviously aren't Jay Garrick, so you have to be Barry or Wally." He looks shocked and then asks "Who's Wally?" "Barry Allen it is!" I say triumphantly.

I spin towards the exit again to finally get to my panel on time, but I spot Superman and mutter "Oh great the big blue boy-scout arrives". Running my eyes down his picture perfect costume my eyes widen in shock when I find his feet hovering six inches off the ground and then everything fades to black with this last thought, "What the fuc.......
