So, I wanted to combine the absolutely insane shenanigans fandom has yj getting into in space for months at a time with the fact that actually none of their guardians are as terrible/neglectful as they seem based on their absence from the narrative. (It’s just that there are No Adults Allowed in the kids’ book. They couldn’t make them all orphans in the grand tradition of kids’ fiction everywhere, so they just ignored the adults when convenient.)
Which means I need a way for them to spend months in space without anyone knowing, but also not have them absent long enough to ring any alarm bells.
Solution: take full advantage of the fact that time is Messed Up in comics. (7+ Christmases in 3-4 years anyone? One year time skip where not everyone ages a full year?) YJ can be in space for 8 months and it’s only, let’s go with two weeks, for their guardians.
Mind you: THEY STILL DON’T TELL ANYONE!
So you can get the scene years later where it’s like:
JL: How do you know that alien race/language/solar system/interstellar legal code? Why are you citizens/married/ambassadors/boogiemen/deities on this random planet?
YJ: We spent 8 months hitchhiking. Stuff went down.
JL: …there are no 8 month gaps unaccounted for. The longest we can come up with was two weeks, four if you’re all really good at faking things.

wendy the werewolf stalker is a dc comics tv show parody of buffy the vampire slayer, appearing mainly in young justice (1998). the tv show centers around a girl named wendy who hunts werewolves and assumedly follows the same basic concept as btvs, where she is the one girl chosen with powers to fight werewolves and assorted monsters. the first mention of it is in yj98 #8, when kon complains about potentially missing the new episode (which would’ve likely been doppelgangland equivalent based on the date). best issues to read are yj98 #33 & #34, which is where it appears as an actual tv show. it’s referenced frequently in dialogue and visual appearances.
