DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 70

[Dinah Lance POV]

Recovery can sometimes feel like a never-ending process. For me, this was the case, and how couldn’t it feel this way when your little brother could heal most wounds exponentially faster than you or any other human being without powers. 

My broken bones and injured body slowly healed, or rather healed at a human rate with the best technology available; I honestly couldn't complain. With each day that passed, I felt a litt...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 69

[David Lance POV]

It had been two weeks since the encounter with Amazo, and my broken bones and injured body had finally healed. 

Leaving nothing but the memory of the battle and how the combined efforts of Rachel and I had been the key to victory. 

I smiled at the memory.

Sure, it had been one hell of a fight, where I had taken more damage than ever before, with the stakes being higher than ...

DC: DON’T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 68

[David Lance POV]

Dinah was okay.

A few broken bones, and bruises here and there, but nothing concerning for her health in the long run, a result that upon considering who her opponent had been, was rather lucky.

Oliver was okay too.

His injuries were less severe all things considered.

As for me, well, I would be bedridden for around two to four weeks, depending on how fast my healing factor can...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD CHAPTER 67

[David Lance POV]

“Azarath metrion zinthos!” Raven muttered as I dashed towards the Android.

{Access: Superman.} The android intoned, his voice reaching my ears moments before the distance between us closed as he dodged Raven's attack, his right hand instantly blurring out of sight toward my stomach, landing a devastatingly powerful uppercut on my solar plexus.

The attack sent me flying out of the building li...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 66

[David Lance POV]

Suit on, Raven opened a portal to where the fight was happening. The plan was simple; she would help evacuate the area and then regroup, helping from far away, as I had no idea if this Amazo could copy magic or not.

The same applied to me, but at the very least, I had the fact my powers came from another universe on my side, which could possibly mean they couldn't be replicated. Hopefully, that would be the case.

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 65

[David Lance POV]

With a silent yawn, I slowly opened my eyes, stretching my body as I sat up on my bed, pushing the covers of my bed to the side. Reminiscing about the event of the last few months, finding that as of lately things have been rather slow, with crime being at an all-time low.

However, as strange as this change was, I was happy with this. Less crime to fight meant I had more time to do other things besides catching criminals, things...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 64

[David Lance POV]

Rachel and I made our way through the city, taking in the sights and sounds of the bustling metropolis of Star City. The night was alive with energy, the streets filled with people enjoying the vibrant nightlife.

As we walked with no destination in particular, I couldn't help but get lost in thought, my mind occupied with dark memories that now didn't seem to bother me at all. My encounters with the Joker and De...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 63

[David Lance POV]

After months of hard work, I had finally completed Master Kirigi's training. Discovering a lot about myself in the process and about Master Kirigi as well, who I had found during my training, had at one point been associated with the League of Assassins as one of their members.

Based on what I had found, he was apparently retired.

Batman obviously knew about this, meaning that in some...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 62

[David Lance POV]

After finally finding Master Kirigi, he surprisingly agreed to train me, even though I was expecting many refutals from his part, mostly because Batman had said he was a man hard to convince; however, against Batman's profile of the man, the moment I asked if he could train me, well, he accepted.

So, the very next morning, my training started.

The first thing we did that very first morning was to test my reflexe...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 61

[David Lance POV]

Hiding behind the safety of some trees, I waited for the night to fall before setting off toward Mount Paektu, the tallest mountain in North Korea. While on paper, this mission was simple, I had to be careful; if anyone saw me, they would without a doubt alert the government, and if possible, I wanted to avoid that.

With the moon finally shining above the starless sky, I started to move, creeping through the forests at high spee...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 60

[David Lance POV]

The next day, I woke up early, going down to the hotel lobby to get some breakfast before I left. I knew that it was going to be a long day, so I wanted to make sure that I had enough energy.

After a rather decent breakfast for hotel standards, I went back to my room to grab a few of my things before heading down to the docks to scout for a boat.

At the docks, there were a lot of people milling around going abou...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 59

[David Lance POV]

After finishing my training with Grey Shadow, I was soon tasked by Batman to track someone known as Kirigi. 

Who after weeks of thorough research, I had managed to find; that he currently resided in North Korea, being one of the most wanted men in the eyes of the North Korean totalitarian government for his liberal views of the government.

By using the data I had managed to acquire in my ea...

CORN AND THE CORNEWS.

Hello there, my sexy, corn-loving, raven admirer, crow worshipper readers. Corn here with some minor updates.

I decided to take today off, aka the 19 of July. I was feeling rather tired in general, so I decided to take the day to sleep and do nothing. Nevertheless, a day off or not, I owe you guys some chaps, chaps I will deliver tomorrow.

Here you might be wondering, but Corn, whatever do you mean?

Well, I aim to post many sexy chapters tomorrow, which will be easy to accom...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 58

[Raven POV]

With David training in France, I decided to focus on my training with Black Canary in order to improve my hand-to-hand combat skills. Long story short, I sucked at it, but I had to start somewhere, and Black Canary was the best teacher I could have asked for.

It was a real struggle to become proficient in another form of combat when all my life I had used my powers to fight. But, as hard as it was, I understood the benefits...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 57

[David Lance POV]

As I had initially suspected after finding Batman's assignment somewhat incomplete, Grey Shadow was to be my teacher in the art of stealing. A fact Batman himself confirmed over some texts, while not particularly happy I was helping her steal, I knew that the skills she was teaching me would come in handy down the line.

Then again, If I gave my feelings some thought, I had to admit I wasn't particularly angry about th...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 56

[David Lance POV]

After weeks of tracking the rumor, which I had started for the sake of information gathering, all in hopes of finding a lead on Grey Shadow, I managed to catch wind of a meeting that was going to happen tonight in an abandoned building that was close to Parc Blandan, the reason for this meeting being a certain rumor going around, mine.

Needless to say, seeing as this meeting promised to be what I was looking for, I got ready, mo...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 55

[David Lance POV]

Following the lead, the one I had procured last night at the museum, I arrived in Lyon, France, in the evening of the following day, where upon arrival, I immediately made my way to a small alleyway off of Rue des Capucins.

I didn't have much to go by with the lead I had, but if my hunch was right, the answers I was looking for were in Lyon.

Taking a deep breath, I approached the alley that was right ahead, noti...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 54

[David Lance POV]

The very next morning, I woke early before the sun came out, ready to start with my mission, hastily grabbing my things before checking out of the hotel, following what little I had about my target.

I knew very well this mission was going to be tough. 

Especially since I had no real clues besides a single location and a psychological profile Batman had left about Grey Shadow.

Nevertheless, ...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 53

[David Lance POV]

After six days of continuous training with the world's best fencer, Charles du Marchand, I managed to defeat him in a clean match for the first time ever, that victory being the first of many against him, effectively ending my training with him as per Batman's instructions.

My training under Charles had been intense at first.

Every morning I'd be up at the crack of dawn to begin my stretches and footwork exercis...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 52

[David Lance POV]

After weeks of giving Batman's offer a lot of thought, I decided to accept much to Dinah’s and Oliver’s protests on the matter, who both fervently considered that it was best for me to learn by their side.

I honestly appreciated their worry, but no matter how I looked at this, this was an opportunity that was just too good to simply push aside just because of my record when it came to Batman.

Besides, I was ...

MARVEL: GAMER PATH - CHAPTER 289

[Alex POV]

I continued battling Knull, using all the [Skills] at my disposal to keep him at bay, as I waited for Thor’s arrival, who, according to my map, was a minute away from our location.

From there, all I would have to do was give my brother an opening, which would hopefully lead to severing Knull’s connection to the hive mind, in the process cutting his connecting All Black weakening without measure....

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 51

[Rachel Roth POV]

The Dark Birds of Star City. The Dark Flock of Justice. The Feathery Family.

That's how the news called us.

Black Canary, Black Bolt, and Raven, the Birds of Justice.

I found this funny on many levels, especially when taking into account I was sure Black Bolt wasn't a bird's name to begin with.

I also found this nice, in a warm kind of way.

It was...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 50

[Lex Luthor POV]

I continued my research on Black Bolt, trying to find out what made him tick. It simply irritated me to no conceivable end that his DNA was nigh impossible to read or break, one impossibly more complex than Kryptonian DNA, a fact that made no scientific sense.

He was a human, a metahuman, sure, but a human all the same, yet he was a walking enigma.

Needless to say, I wasn't about to give up, though. I would find ...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 49

[David Lance POV]

I entered the League's quarters, where Diana and J'onn waited for me for my monthly session of therapy in a small office designed for these situations. As I sat down, we exchanged brief pleasantries before getting down to business at question.

"So, how have things been since we last spoke?" Diana asked, leaning forward ever so lightly.

I thought for a moment before answering. ~Things have been improving, for the...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 48

[David Lance POV

Nov 2009]

14 Months since the events of the League and Rachel.

I leaped from rooftop to rooftop under the dim light of the night, never losing sight of my target, an assassin that had tried to kill an activist during his sleep, probably hired by some corporate overlord, who I was determined to bring to justice, after capturing his accomplice.

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 47

[David Lance POV]

It's funny how life works out sometimes. You try to fight the circumstances with all your might, but in the end, you have to accept that things will never be exactly as you want them to be. 

That's not necessarily a bad thing, though.

I've spent so long fighting who I am, or who I could be, fiercely trying to deny it, that I was losing sight of what was important. But now, finally, I was starting to accept my...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 46

[Rachel Roth POV]

Each of us lives, dependent, and bound by our individual knowledge and our awareness. 

That had always been bitterly clear to me.

For as long as I could remember, who I was had always been clear, I was Rachel Roth, a tool, an instrument to halt Trigon for as long as possible. That, however, had an ambiguous hidden meaning because, for many, I was a tool born to aid Trigon in his never-ending quest.

...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 45

[David Lance POV]

I walked down the street towards the library, carrying some snacks and books to return on my black-colored backpack that was neatly strapped to my back.

I was on my way to meet with Rachel after two weeks of not having seen her, and well, I was happy. It wasn’t anyone’s fault I hadn’t been able to visit her until now, but as things happen, life has kept the both of us busy, dealing with different problems, s...

DC: DON'T UTTER A WORD - CHAPTER 44

[Vandal Savage POV]

I waited in my office as a portal appeared, one from Klarion letting Deathstroke and Ra's al Ghul into my office. For a second, both of them stood quite; still, almost as if having a small but meaningful exchange of words, then they turned towards me, walking.

“Deathstroke, Ra's al Ghul,” I greeted, offering them a seat, which they both refused to take.

“I brought them here, just like you asked,” Klarion...

Update.

Corn is having, or rather had, some minor post-surgery problems, and that's why I haven't been updating, I am, however now fine, and will update a few chaps today, 3 for DC ending this arc, and one for Marvel.

The problem in question wasn't big, it was a minor infection, and well, I had high fevers and stuff, and was bedridden. I am fine now, though, so don't worry.
