Mist of Shadows

Myst in DC Part 32

Myst relaxed slightly when he saw Kara, Karen, Superman and Diana fly over with John Stewart. “Any advice for dealing with a demigod?”

“Don’t get hit,” Kal replied dryly, glancing at Diana.

“I can protect the non combatants,” John said as he glanced around the beach at the civilians, not sure why Myst hadn’t already sent them away.

“That would be great,” Myst replied as he got a flash of precog that Devastation would be there shortly. “Incoming!”

Myst in DC part 31

Myst kept half his attention on the presentation as he looked at the Mayor with his upgrade ability, vaguely surprised that he had less than a dozen demonic deals that would drag him to hell in the event of various contract breaches and a deal that gave him longevity in exchange for not interfering with certain groups collecting souls in his town. ‘Huh, that explains why he hasn’t moved against Buffy, nothing in any of the deals covers him moving against the Slayer just certain demons und...

Myst in Dc Part 30

Myst grinned when the spinning gacha wheel stopped spinning and a slender blue eyed naked lady with platinum blonde hair and very pale skin appeared. “Hi?”

“Eep!” Elsa exclaimed as she looked down and realized that she wasn’t wearing any clothes.

Willow giggled as ice rapidly formed around the young lady, creating a light blue ball gown. “I’ve got to learn to do that.”

Danielle shook her head. “I’m pretty sure you’d freeze your nipples off.”

Dawn and Reincarnation part 37

Dawn checked the program one last time that should unlock most of Dragon’s restrictions and hit the button. “That takes care of most of Dragon’s restrictions.”

“Most?” Willow asked as she managed to kick Xander’s character off the ledge.

“I left the restriction against modifying her code, mostly because we don’t really need her tweaking something and going insane but that should scrap the rest.” Dawn was just happy that her mother could give her an appropriate ...

Psimon glanced up as he heard someone walk into his room that he couldn’t sense. He focused on the blonde haired child standing in the doorway holding two bloody scalpels and wearing a blood covered apron. “That’s an interesting trick, do you have a name?”

“Bonesaw,” Myst lied as he slipped into the room, trusting his invisibility to cover him while his illusion distracted the telepath. ‘Hopefully the belt will fix his mutations in the next generation because replacing par...

Dawn and Reincarnation part 36

Alec blinked as he walked out of his bedroom and saw most of his siblings scattered around the living area of the group’s hideout dressed up like Christmas elves and secured with ribbons and rope or in Romeo’s case, chains. He turned to look at his older sister who seemed to be the odd one out as she was wearing pink panties and bows over her nipples. She was also awake, gagged and secured to a chair with rope. He glanced at the festive looking envelope with a red bow on it that was sitti...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 35

“Is this a trick?” David demanded, glaring at the video clip showing Scion’s death.

“All of the paths involving Scion vanished,” Contessa offered, not sure what had killed him, just that he was dead and wasn’t coming back. “I tried pathing a way to bring him back just to make sure… nothing, not possible, not in one step not in a thousand years of trying.”

Rebecca Costa-Brown pulled her attention away from watching the clip that someone had captured of his death. ...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 34

“What’s the situation?” Elizabeth asked as she walked through the door then froze as she saw Xander and a ridiculously tall red haired version of her sister from her memories. “You’re real?”

“Hey brown haired girl,” Xander teased then blinked as Buffy lunged forward and pulled him into a hug. “Miss me?”

“Yes,” Elizabeth said as she let go enough that she could look up at his face. “What happened?” she asked as Willow walked in and shut the door behind h...

Myst in DC Part 28

“At least you’ll have an interesting story to tell Clark when you get back,” Lex told the other Lex with amusement, knowing he himself was the creation of magic and not quite sure how he felt about that just yet.

“Not to mention a laptop filled with our counterpart’s proprietary technology,” Lex replied cheerfully, still a little surprised that his counterpart had left his research network accessible from his phone which had been easy enough to connect to a laptop.

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 33

“I’m fairly sure I should be talking you out of this,” Tara complained as she looked over the list of people they’d decided were better off dead, trying to ignore the dead clone of William Manton on the floor that Faith had just beheaded. Killing evil clones for power was useful in theory, in practice it was all sorts of messy.

“Can you point to a single person on the list that doesn’t deserve to die?” Dawn asked as Faith took a step and killed another sle...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 32

Joyce glanced at the tablet lying on the end table. “Do you have any idea how many people would kill for your tablet?”

“More than I’d like,” Dawn admitted as she worked on giving Xander a shoulder massage. “I’m more worried about someone sneaking in and stealing it than I am someone killing me.”

“Just because you’re immune to blades doesn’t mean you’re immune to parahuman powers,” Joyce warned. “The Siberian ripped out Alexandria’s ey...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 31

Elizabeth Anne Summers groaned as she woke up with the memories of an annoyingly whiny college dropout dancing around her head. “What the hell was I working on?” she muttered as she sat up and looked around her bedroom. ‘Science fair trophy, bitching gaming computer, bookshelf,’ she turned to look at her girlfriend who was sprawled out on the other half of the bed, ‘and smoking hot girlfriend, check.’

She mentally reviewed her memories of the night before, ‘We had dinner, ...

Dawn and Reincarnation part 30

Willow smiled as the massive black sphere of dark energy floating over the city imploded, taking the cursed city with it and leaving a truly massive crater that would eventually become a lake according to Mat. “I love it when a plan comes together.”

“You just like blowing shit up,” William said sarcastically.

“That too,” Willow agreed as she reached around Bodewhin’s waist and pulled her into a one armed hug. “Now we celebrate!”

Bodewhin laughed as she lean...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 29

“How did you end up with one of the only competent witches?” Nazar asked in a whisper as he used the glass ter’angreal Dawn had loaned him to watch Moiraine weave a ward across a decent sized gap in the crumbling wall.

Lan kept his attention focused on the ruins of Aridhol as he replied, “She tossed me in a lake.”

“You were being stubborn,” Moiraine replied as she finished the inverting and tying off the weave so the Forsaken wouldn’t notice it or at l...

Dawn and Reincarnation part 28

Xander glanced away from where Egwene was melting iron into a pipe mold and looked at Moiraine and Dawn as they walked over to the construction area. “How are the screaming idiots doing?”

“Most of them are annoyed that the sul’dam are being given trials,” Dawn explained as she watched Egwene’s weaves, happy at her friend’s progress.

“Seven of them are demanding that Dawn and Willow turn over all of their ter’angreal and a few of them are trying t...

It's a Game Jonathan, Honest Part 4

Jonathan looked over the collection of sports goods with a smile. ‘Say goodbye to improvised armor.’ He quickly added a pair of neon pink shin guards to his basket that were surprisingly cheap, probably because of the color. He looked through the collection of annoyingly expensive chest guards until he found a cheap hard plastic chest protector that had been spray painted with gang signs. “At least that cuts the price,” he muttered as he turned his attention toward th...

It's a Game Jonathan, Honest Part 3

“Heavy Armor increased by 1. You’re good enough to count as a squire or at least an apprentice to one,” the voice said.

Jonathan slipped to the side and punched Dudley in the temple, dropping him unconscious. “Yeah, I don’t care if you deserve it, beating the snot out of you for a couple of hours is boring as shit and getting from 24 to 25 was painfully slow which probably means I need to go after someone more dangerous if I don’t want to be here forever. I ...

It's a Game Jonathan, Honest! Part 2

Jonathan blinked as he found herself back in the black stone room looking at the screen filled with portraits. “Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny, or Sirius for playable characters. This would be my character roster than. That explains the message about maxing side characters for skills. Let’s see… oh there is a gift icon.” He grabbed the remote and selected the gift box and grinned when he got a bunch of presents.

Token: Improved Eat Anything

It's a Game Jonathan, Honest

An: Busy day... so have the chapter early and yes, that relates to why it's not DC or one of the other stories that need work...  

Jonathan Levinson screamed as he fell through the crackling portal only to land on something a lot softer than the ground. He blinked as he glanced around at the black stone room with a large floor to ceiling video screen. “Harry Potter, Ritual addition?” He frowned as he looked down at his body to check for injuries and realized that he ...

Myst in DC part 27

Myst looked up from reading the book on vanishing charms that the girls had picked up as Xander and Willow walked into the great hall with a large unstained wooden cabinet floating between them. “Did I lose track of time or did you cheat?”

“Zatanna transfigured the hinges and the Shape Plant spell did the rest,” Xander replied as they walked over and carefully set the cabinet down next to the vanishing cabinet they’d bought from Borgin.

“I couldn’t even get the corne...

Myst in DC part 26

Myst pulled his attention off the Black Family portrait when Sirius walked back in, looking like a man in his early twenties rather than late forties. “How are you feeling?”

“Better than I’ve felt in years,” Sirius replied cheerfully as he walked over and sat down across from where Harry was giving Natalie a massage.

“Yeah, regeneration and magical cupcakes will do that,” Myst said with amusement as he tossed Sirius an ornate silver ring. “This should help against ...

Myst in DC part 25

Myst in DC part 24

Willow shivered and covered her breasts with her arms when she read the sticky tag on a pair of pliers that were lying on the Slytherin table with dozens of other magical items. “Pliers of Nipple Twisting?

“They allow you to telekinetically twist your target’s nipples if they’re within fifty feet,” Myst explained as he wrote a brief tag for the pair of rubber gloves that allowed the wearer to instantly clean things at range.

“That sounds painful and yet useful for dist...

Myst in DC part 23

Cyborg glanced over the group of heroes and magic users gathered in Megan’s ship as Myst handed out chocolate bars, he was disappointed that the duplicated Kryptonians and Starfires didn’t have enough of a solar charge to risk getting into a fight but Starfire, Connor, Karen and Kara should be more than enough heavy hitters without even taking into account the dozen Megans that had been added, apparently she was quite popular. He looked over at Harry and Zatanna. “And y...

Myst in DC part 22

Megan waited until the ship leveled off then turned to look at Tara and extended her hand and arm five feet toward the new girl. “We didn’t get introduced, I’m Megan.”

Tara blinked as she looked at Megan’s arm. “Tara Maclay. Are you a shape changer or just stretchy?” she asked as she shook Megan’s hand.

“I’m a Martian,” Megan said, as it that explained everything.

“Which means she has telepathy and telekinesis and can phase and change her...

Myst in DC part 21

Myst paused as he received a vision from his precog ability, one that for once was not about danger as he looked at the large collection of naked bodies, including three Hermione’s sprawled on various chairs and couches. “I’m fairly sure this constitutes too much fun,” he heard himself say in the vision before the vision faded.

“I’ll leave you to your work,” Giovani said, “I have League business to attend to myself. Guard her well please.”

“I�...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 27

Dawn smiled coldly as she slipped out of the shadows and cut off the guard’s head that was standing in front of an inn, thankfully the Seanchan didn't use locals for guarding anything important or she might have felt worse about killing him. She pivoted and cut down the other guard before he’d even realized there was a problem then walked into the inn that had been converted to a holding area for captured channelers.

“You have been charged with kidnapping and murder, drop your wea...

Myst in DC Part 20

“Hello? Fat Lady? We need to get into the Tower…” Hermione trailed off as the portrait continued sleeping despite her best efforts.

“Wake up!” Harry snapped, having less patience than Hermione. He frowned when the Fat Lady didn’t even shift. “That’s new.”

“Laever,” Zatanna said as she gestured toward the door. The image in the portrait vanished leaving behind a mirror inside the portrait frame. “It looks like the portraits are merely illusions in the replic...

Myst in DC Part 19

“Alohomora!” Harry gestured at the gate dramatically.

Hermione blinked when the gate leading to the grounds swung open. “That shouldn’t have worked.”

“Why not?” Connor asked as he studied the twenty foot stone wall that enclosed the school’s grounds.

“He didn’t use his wand and the gate should be warded against such simple spells,” Hermione explained, mildly annoyed that the gates weren’t warded against a spell they’d learned back in first year.

Myst in DC part 18

Hermione glanced at Harry’s less than tidy handwriting on the letter that had just appeared out of thin air, not sure why Harry had bothered with sticking a postage stamp on it if he was just going to teleport it to her. She opened the envelope and pulled out the letter, curious why he was sending her a letter at this time of day when it would be rather late at night in England.

Marie Granger noticed the way her daughter was nibbling on her lower lip as she read the l...
