Currently The Best Way I Can Summarize My Current Chapter And Drafts For The Shrike AU:

Okay I’m currently furious that migraines are often so blindly easy to treat and I had to find this out myself at the age of 26 when I’ve been to a neurologist since I was 11 lol so I’m about to teach you two neat and fast little tricks to deal with pain!

The first is the sternocleidomastoid muscle, or the SCM muscle.

This big red section is responsible for pain around the eye, cheekbone, and jaw, as well as some temple pain. Literally all you have to do is angle your head down a little, angle it away from the side that hurts, and then you can gently pinch and rub that muscle. I find it best to start at the bottom and travel upwards. The relief is so immediate! You can increase pressure as you feel comfortable doing so.

Here is a short and easy video showing this in action

The second is a fast and easy stretch that soothes your vagus nerve, which is the nerve responsible for calming you down. The vagus nerve, for those unfamiliar, is stimulated by deep breathing such as yawning, sighing, singing, or taking a deep breath to calm your anger in a tense situation.

You can stretch this out by sitting up as straight as possible (this does not have to be perfect to work) and interlacing your fingers. Put your hands on the back of your head with your thumbs going down the sides of your neck and, while keeping your face forward, look all the way to one side with just your eyes. Hold that until you feel the urge to breathe deeply or yawn, or until you can tell there’s a change. Then do the same thing on the other side. When you put your arms down, you should clearly be able to turn your head farther in both directions. If the first session doesn’t get rid of your migraine, rest and repeat as many times as necessary. I even get a little fancy with it and roll my eyes up and down along the outer edge sometimes to stretch as much as I can.

If you need a visual here’s a good video on it. I know some of the language they use seems questionable but this is real and simple science and should not be discarded because it’s been adopted by the trendy wellness crowd!

I seriously cannot believe I didn’t hear a word of this from any doctor in my life. Additionally, if you get frequent recurring migraines, you may want to see a dietician. Migraines can be caused by foods containing histamines, lectin, etc. and can also be caused by high blood pressure in specific situations such as exercise, stress, and even sex.

If any of this information helps you I’d love to hear it btw! It’s so so fast and easy to do. Good luck!

The ending of bloodlines always gets me

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 4 summary:  Danny is treated in the Medbay of the Watchtower. Batman talks with Superman and Red Hood about the situation. (I suck at summaries)

Teaser:  In the Medbay of the Watchtower, things were chaotic. “How am I supposed to tell how the patient is doing if he doesn’t have life signs we can detect?” One of the doctors asked in frustration.

Jazz spoke up from the table she had been sitting on, as another doctor looked her over. “I have all the equipment you need. It’s in one of the boxes Superman helped us bring up here.”

“Why didn’t you say something sooner, Miss?” The man’s tone was tinged with annoyance.

“Because you weren’t listening to me when I tried telling you earlier.” Jazz snapped at the man. She was so done with everything but Danny at that moment.

The Man of Steel had been standing off to the side with Batman, silently watching the physicians work. “Which box do you need?” He gently asked her.

“I need the box marked with the letters “FFRX”, and the cooler box as well.”

He was back with the two boxes before she could even say “thank you”. He sat the boxes near the end of Danny’s treatment table; “Do you know how to work this equipment? I scanned it, and I’m pretty sure no one here is going to be able to use it without your help.”

Jazz shot the alien a grateful smile. “I’ve been using this equipment for years. I can teach the doctors whatever they are willing to learn from me.”~~~~

~~~~“Batman, this is Hood. We have arrived safely in Gotham and are currently holed up in the metro safe-house.”

“How are the teens?”

“Shaken and exhausted, but otherwise physically unharmed. An update on their friend might help soothe their minds, though.”

“Tell them that he has been stabilized and is currently under observation. Ask if they have any more information that might help us in our investigation into the Fentons, the Anti-Ecto Acts, and the GIW.”

“Will do.” Jason paused. “How is Jazz?” He quietly asked after a second.

Batman cocked his head. It was very unusual for Jason to ask about civilians–especially by a nickname and in that tone of voice. He decided to give a straightforward answer. “She will recover. She has some defensive wounds. She has been seen by Medical, and she is resting next to her brother in the Medbay.”

Jason’s literal growl over the com made Bruce question his decision to tell Jason information about Jasmine. Now he knew for sure that the girl was special to his son. If things hadn’t been so dire, he would have almost smiled. But the situation was grim, and he had to be Batman first for the moment, if those kids were to see justice. “Hood. You WILL NOT return to Amity Park. Do you copy? I need you in Gotham. Jasmine, Danny, and their friends will need an advocate to organize things between them and the League. I do not have time to be that person. I want you to do it.”

A tense silence echoed through the communicator. “Me?” Jason finally said. “You want me to advocate with the League??”

“You have a close connection to all the parties involved. You’re also much closer in age. I think that they will talk more openly and candidly with you than with the other members. You won’t be the only one, but you will be their main contact point for the League. That means you have to stay close. Can you do it?”

A longer pause sat between them this time. Batman could almost hear the thoughts churning in his son’s head. If Jason found out the true extent of Danny and Jasmine’s injuries, then he was likely to break the “no killing” rule again. Bruce didn’t want to deal with that. It would only complicate matters….

cool little interview. I think the cast all had very interesting things to say about their characters, but my favorite part is when Rob said: "I think Klaus is gonna, at the first opportunity, he's gonna kick Reggie's glass doors in and go 'Gimme back my power, you asshole! I'm only just after mastering it and you take it away?!'" The fact that season 1 Klaus would be popping champagne if someone took his power away, and the fact that it's believable he'd do the exact opposite now is great
