DC: DON’T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 124

[David Lance POV]

I arrived at Washington DC quickly, thanking the old man for the ride as I exited his car, my mind overwhelmed by the developments so far.

Everywhere I looked, there were propaganda posters for the regime, urging people, demanding them to support their new leader, Superman. It was unnerving to see such propaganda on display, especially given what I knew about this world, about the oppression and violence Superman had brought.

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 123

[David Lance POV]

Aimlessly, I walked through the forest Klarion had left me in for hours, growing ever so desperate to find some sign of civilization as time went by.

Eventually, my aimless exploration paid off as I found myself face to face with a path leading out of the forest. It was a dirt road, barely more than a path, but by the way, it was shaped, it was easy to tell that it was a way out.

Smiling, I quickened ...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD: CHAPTER 122

[David Lance POV]

Seeing as nothing was happening, at least nothing that required my attention, I decided to visit my sister to spend some time with her. It had been too long since I had seen her properly. Too long since I had talked to her.

"David!" Dinah greeted me as soon as I stepped into the manor. "I was about to make a trip to the base, give you a scolding for not calling your poor, old sister. How have you been?"

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 121

[David Lance POV]

The mission had been a success, at least to a certain degree, and with Kent safe and sound in the tower of fate, it was time to go back to the base. By the time we arrived at the base, the sun had barely risen above the horizon. The air inside the ship was thick and filled with tension, sure, we had won, but it didn't feel like a victory.

We had all felt powerless, without an ounce of control, and the feeling wasn't w...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 120

[David Lance POV]

“Witch Boy! You have failed! You sought the power of the helmet, and it now has a new host, ready to deliver order!” The voice of Kaldur and Nabu echoed as the battle between order and chaos broke out in a clash of magic that shook the tower itself.

"Fail?! Don't think so! you old fart!" Klarion shouted back as he teleported around the area, evading attacks and striking back with his own.

"Electri...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 119

[David Lance POV]

I jumped through the portal Raven had opened, landing on the other side, an elevator. 

“Hello there,” Kent greeted, a friendly smile on his face.

I blinked, looking around, trying to find Raven, but besides Kent and myself, there was no one else around.

“If you are looking for your friend,” Kent continued as if he could read my mind. “She is on her way up but through an...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 118

[David Lance POV]

As Artemis scolded Kid Flash for his behavior, I focused on inspecting the ground beneath us.

The floor was hard and cool beneath my knees, and from between the cracks on the ground that formed on the floor, the unmistakable stark aroma of the wind of winter tickled my nose. Taking that cold air in, I ran my fingers over the floor for a few moments, finding a groove that would release what appeared to be a secret door...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 117

[David Lance POV]

Within moments we arrived at our destination to find an empty lot of land surrounded by buildings, yet, nothing where the tower of fate was supposed to be.

"What the-?" Kid Flash said as he looked around, clearly confused.

"This is the place, right?" Miss Martian asked, giving me a questioning look.

I nodded. ~These are the coordinates Red Tornado gave us. I'm positive.~

UPDATE AND SPOILERS?

Hello there readers, Corn here with the final update on my COVID case. I feel fine for the most part, no headache, just cough and a runny nose, but I'll take that over what I had the first days, any day. Per my doctor's recommendations, I'm taking it easy.

As you guys read this, I'm writing four chapters for DC that will be posted tomorrow afternoon.  I have been working on them all day long.  I'm excited to get them out to you all because I know you're anxious to s...

COVID-19 [UPDATE]

Hello there my sexy sexy sexy SEXY! Readers, Corn here with an update.

My COVID-19 symptoms are like 98% away. I still test positive, obviously, but other than that I feel awesome. This means, updates will return tomorrow! Freaking finally!

Thank you all for the patience, and understanding, like, honestly, love you all.

Below you can see a home Covid-19 test I took today. However, like I said before I feel sexy.

I still have ...

COVID-19

Corn is sick, like yesterday I was fine, a bit of a sore throat, and today I woke up feeling like I'm about to die.

I can't move. Literally moving one finger is pure and absolute pain for me.

For those wondering what happened to me today, well, this happened. Corn will take today to rest, and maybe try and write a bit on my phone later today.

I'm throwing up.

Food tastes like shit.

I have chills like 90% of t...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 116

[David Lance POV]

As Raven entered the room behind me, I could feel the tension in the room rising. I knew before the conversation even started that this was going to be a difficult topic to swim around. Reaching my bed, I took a deep breath and sat.

I could feel the weight of Raven's eyes on me as I stared at the floor pensively, trying to find the right words to express the fears that were swirling through my head. As I pondered in m...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 115

[David Lance POV]

I had no idea what was happening. All my life until now, I thought I had what I had, and that would remain, and now, all of a sudden, I have developed a new superpower. Just how much I didn't know about Black Bolt? And on that matter, was that power even connected to him in the first place?

Or was I a mix of more than one hero when it came to powers?

Hopefully not. The last thing I need is getting another power ...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORLD - CHAPTER 114

[David Lance POV]

As I got ready for the day inside my room on the base, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was about to go terribly wrong. Since my meeting with Deathstroke, this was a thought that had been gnawing at me, a sense of foreboding that I couldn't quite explain because, somehow, I knew it wasn't related to Deathstroke himself. At first, I had tried to ignore it, to push it away, but it only seemed to grow stronger.

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 113

[David Lance POV]

I slowed the Batmobile down as I approached the address Deathstroke had written on the card he had given me, giving Batman a look before turning my attention ahead as we would arrive in mere moments.

At my side, Batman was checking on some files, using the car's computer to review them as he prepared everything in case this invitation was a trap. Which was the main reason he had put me on driving du...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 112

[David Lance POV]

As I walked into the Batcave, I saw Batman, in his usual place, sitting in front of his computer, reviewing some files. As I approached him, I noticed that the cave had undergone numerous renovations since I had last come, minor ones, but enough to be noticeable.

"Thank you for coming," Batman said, turning his chair around to face me.

I looked at Batman for a moment before nodding. ~We have muc...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 111

[David Lance POV]

Knowing our location had been compromised, we moved Dr. Roquette to a cybercafe nearby. There, in order to mislead the assassins, they would continue to send after Dr. Roquette; we then divided into three groups.

Group A would act as a distraction. That group consisted of me, Aqualad, and Miss Martian, who, in order to trick the assassins, would be shape-shifted into the shape of Dr. Roquette, acting as the bait...

DC: DON’T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 110

[David Lance POV]

“Don’t move, David,” The icy voice of Deathstroke whispered as he neared me. “We need to talk.”

I froze, trying to process the fact he had discovered my identity, and by proxy that of my sister, and perhaps more.

A dry chuckle escaped Deathstroke. “Don’t be so tense, if I wanted to hurt your sister I would’ve done so already.”

Then what did he ...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 109

[David Lance POV]

Cloaked in darkness, I silently climbed a rear fire escape that led to the second floor of the school where Dr. Roquette was at, having left the rest of the team to take care of the front while Raven and I watched the back in order to keep the Dr, safe.

Having reached the second floor, I flicked the lights of the hallway on, or at least tried to because no lights turned on. Upon further inspection, I noticed that the light bulbs...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 108

[David Lance POV]

I keep my eyes trained on Aqualad as we circle each other in the training room. Our steps are heavy and purposeful, echoing off the tiles as we position ourselves for an attack. I know he'll come at me with everything he's got, that was the purpose of this, and I'm ready. Taking a step forward, he lashes out with a stream of water, but I easily duck under it and come up behind him. Reforming the water he had just used, he tried ...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 107

[David Lance POV]

Without wasting time, I rushed to the vans that were a few hundred meters away, catching a glimpse of the robots taking the containers that held Amazo in parts. -Raven portal!-

At my command, Raven opened a portal in front of me, one that connected with the path the droids were taking to make their getaway; leaping out of the portal, I punched two robots out of the way as I positioned myself to the right, making sure to not have anything i...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 106

[David Lance POV]

The days drifted by without there being any major occurrences. Beyond Raven and her talk with Batman a few days ago, nothing else had happened, at least nothing worth mentioning or thinking about it.

Of course, this remark of uneventfulness was exclusively from my side, as things from the perspective of my team members were not in such luck of mundanity. This was especially true for Superboy.

Without missions to...

Webnovel Fixed their shit.

Just to update you guys on Webnovel's situation. They fixed the entire thing. So, updates will return to normal tomorrow, both for Patreon and Webnovel.

Be that as it may, I feel this was a wake-up call, telling me to expand my territory to other sites, so I will be expanding, just not as an emergency. 

Leave your thoughts about this latest screw up by Webnovel down below, and let me know what sites you think are the best!

Corn's Migration

Hello there, my readers, Corn, here with some news. Webnovel decided to fuck PC readers without lube, quite literally, and now they can't read on PC, only the app, and for some non-English speaking readers, well, that's not the best scenario because they can't use google translate to translate on the app.

So, Corn, seeing this, has decided to expand his horizons beyond Webnovel to the following sites.

The poll is to see which site is the mos...

UPDATE ON CORN'S HEALTH.

You all know how rocky these past few months have been for me, health-wise. So, I bring a final update, hopefully, to my health situation.

Tomorrow, or rather in a few hours, I will be going to the doctor for my last checkup. I've been taking a lot of meds for my various problems these past few months, but after today, fingers crossed, I should not need them.

Most of those meds made me lethargic and tired. So, naturally, my update rates dropped while I was on...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 105

[David Lance POV]

As the days went by without missions, I continued training the team, helping them improve in their shortcomings to the best of my ability. During this time, my mind was clouded with the thoughts of my future mission and what that entailed.

I knew this had to be done. But that didn't make it any easier.

Infiltrating the Light, playing the role of a villain, training under Deathstroke. It was al...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 104

[David Lance POV]

After having taken down Bane, and Kobra, the team and I returned to the base, where Batman was waiting for us. First, upon our arrival, he congratulated the team for the results we had provided, then after the congratulations were done, he turned to me, with a scolding look.

"The mission was to observe and report, not to engage the enemy." He said in a gruff tone that bordered growling, his eyes staring into mine. "While I under...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 103

[David Lance POV]

After having taken down Bane and the Kobra troops, we regrouped and waited a few minutes for Bane to wake up in order to interrogate him. However, it soon became clear after Bane had woken up that he was not going to give us any information easily.

Instead, Bane offered us an alliance, saying that the enemy of his enemy was his friend and that with his aid, we could enter the factory easily because he had a secret entrance.

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 102

[David Lance POV]

Soon after Batman gave us the mission, we embarked on Miss Martian's ship to Santa Prisca in order to figure out what was going on there. On the way, I gave the team a few directives to follow in order to optimize our performance.

I also asked Miss Martian to establish a telepathic connection between all of us so that we could communicate more effectively.

Within a few minutes or so after our departure from th...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 101

[David Lance POV]

Two days after Mr. Twister's attack, M'gann bursted into my room after a few euphoric rapid knocks, spinning the door open with a radiant grin that, by human criteria, appeared abnormally big, inviting me to participate in a team bonding activity.

A camping trip.

Seeing nothing bad with the offer, I accepted, much to Raven's dismay, because now she had to go, and well, she wasn't particularly happy with the idea...
