Mist of Shadows

Myst in DC part 17

Artemis twitched when the six green rupees that formed the anchor for the magical circle flashed with green fire then crumbled to dust as she stepped into the lounge. “Was that my fault?”

“No, the crystals just wore out,” Zatanna explained. “Nice timing though.”

“Good to know,” Artemis replied as she glanced between the new people and the vending machine sitting against the wall.

“Mission successful?” Myst asked as he stood up and stepped out of the circl...

Myst in DC part 16

Constantine pulled his attention off the spinning Weapon wheel that was floating in front of Myst. “Fine, I’ll bite, how much do you want for a decent mana battery?”

Myst looked away from his newest pendant and looked at Constantine. “Do you have any anti scrying trinkets I can borrow for a couple of minutes so I can copy them?”

Constantine smirked then pulled a rather ugly tribal necklace out of his pocket. “I picked this up from a shaman in the Congo, it should do th...

Myst in DC Part 15

“Recognized Constantine 19, Recognized Apprentice A04, Slayer A05, White Knight A06, Red Tree A07, Recognized Superman 01,” the computer’s voice came out of the speakers.

Robin paused the movie. “Was anyone expecting Constatine or four people we haven’t heard of?”

Zatanna turned to look at Robin. “He’s like the Spanish Inquisition, no one expects Constantine.”

Myst grinned slightly but didn’t pause as he moved his index finger to the last pendant in the t...

Myst in DC part 14

“This is completely bullshit and unfair,” Beast Boy complained as he glared at the screen. “The first time through Raven poisons me then she kills me with a spork, a fucking spork!”

“I’d agree with you, but I’m laughing too hard,” Myst said as he watched the man on the screen that looked suspiciously like Connor sharpen his axe.

“To be fair, the food was poisoned so it wasn’t Red’s fault the first time,” Raven pointed out. 

“What about the spor...

Myst in DC part 13

Zatanna raised her eyebrows as she walked into the lab and saw Myst cutting a green tube sock with a pair of sisters. She glanced over at Karen who was working on drawing some type of schematic on one of the computers. “Is there a reason he’s cutting up a perfectly good sock?”

“No idea.” Karen pointed at the less than elegant looking solar panel on the table next to her. “I’ve been working on writing up the schematic for the solar panel he managed to modify.”

Myst ...

Myst in DC Part 12

Myst blinked as he hurried into the meeting room and saw the injured heroes, Superman looked the least injured, he had a superficial cut on his arm and a puncture wound on his shoulder that looked fairly deep. Green Lantern on the other hand was missing his right arm just below the shoulder and looked like he’d had the crap kicked out of him. He glanced at the glowing green cap/tourniquette that covered Hal’s stump. “What the hell happened?!”

“Magic is bullshit,” Hal cut in ...

Myst in DC Part 11

Myst yawned as he woke up enough to remember that he should check his mana pool. ‘3045 of 3045, damn it, overslept a touch.’ He looked at his HUD’s clock. ‘At least I only overslept by a couple of minutes.’ He dropped 3040 mana pool into boosting his mana capacity, raising his mana pool by 304.

He carefully untangled his arm from one of the girls’ arms, probably Sabrina’s then reached over and fumbled for the mana filled pendants he could feel. ‘Yeah, sc...

Myst in DC Part 10

Zatanna frowned slightly as a well crafted celtic knotwork silver pendant with a large cheap looking purple and white stone dropped when Myst’s Jewelry wheel stopped spinning. “If the stone wasn’t crap that might be worth something.”

Myst frowned as he looked at the pot metal chain that was far too thin for the size of the pendant. “At least the knotwork is excellent.”

Kent grinned as he examined the new pendant. “I imagine the enchantment will make up for it.”

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 26

Darla grinned as she watched her cousin kiss a naked brown haired girl before the girl headed off toward the training area. “Having fun?”

Willow pulled her attention off Eldrin Cauthon’s behind and looked at Darla who was still dressed in her traveling clothes. “She was just saying thank you for the sunblock ter’angreal. Who am I to refuse a kiss from an attractive lady?”

“Fair enough,” Darla agreed with a smirk. “How many of those have you made?”

“I lo...

Myst in DC Part 9

“Okay, that sucked,” Myst grumbled as he flipped back to his feet, happy that his old skills were coming back remarkably fast, even if he was nowhere close to Black Canary’s level of skill or physical training.

“You’re less rusty than you claimed,” Dinah said with a grin as she took a second to check on the rest of the students. “Connor!” she snapped when Connor swung hard enough she felt the wind from ten feet away. “Watch the strength! If that punch had landed, Kid F...

Myst in DC part 8

Zatanna finished drawing the ritual circle on the ground with a grease pencil. “Standing inside of the circle will agitate your mana so that you should be able to feel it.”

“What if I don’t have mana?” Connor asked warily.

“If you have life force, you have mana,” Zatanna assured him.

“That and I can see your mana pool, you have mana,” Myst assured him, curious if Clark’s family was strange or if his magic came from Lex because he had more than he would ha...

Myst in DC part 7

Myst stared at the television in disbelief. “Please tell me that this is Klarion’s fault.”

Zatanna winced as she watched a topless girl wearing a pair of green gypsie pants and a red santa hat grab a thug with her red and white striped hook that looked like a candy cane around the neck and drag him to the ground so that a large fat man with a fur loincloth and antlers on his head could handcuff the thug. “They had a Heroes show before, sort of like that old Cops...

Myst in DC Part 6

Myst blinked in surprise as he walked into the kitchen with Starfire and noticed Dinah in a large flannel shirt with the sleeves rolled up cooking breakfast. His gaze jumped to her pink panty clad behind as she reached up and grabbed the pepper off the shelf. ‘Am I still dreaming, this feels like a dream, except for the fact that I’ve been awake for a while and the omelet smells delicious. Right, not a dream.’

Artemis smiled at Myst and Starfire. “What are you working on today?�...

Myst in DC Part 5

Robin glanced at Beast Boy who was currently in the form of a large great dane next to Cyborg who was dressed in a white spandex outfit with spades all over it. “Take Beast Boy and find the lunatic behind the scenes.” He looked over at Myst who was wearing a purple and black jester costume, the purple ‘burning’ with purple flames. “Run around healing people and try not to get yourself killed.” He looked at Raven and Zatanna both dressed in nearly identical Catwoman outfits. “You...

Myst in DC part 4

Myst studied the magical ring with his upgrade power. “Nope, just a magical knockoff.”

“As in it’s worthless?” Kid Flash asked.

“As in it’s great for making clothes, moving small objects and the only force field it can make is more like a windshield.” He slipped the ring on his right ring finger then focused on the ring and brought up the interface that controlled the costume. “Black shorts with purple eldritch symbols, I can live with that.” H...

Myst in DC Part 3

Myst had a moment of blind panic when he woke up and couldn’t feel his limbs. ‘Okay, stop panicking, you’re a slime in DC.’ He took a couple of breaths as he glanced around the bedroom that he’d barely looked at the night before. He was just glad that he had telekinesis otherwise getting to the bunk bed over the desk would have been problematic given his lack of hands. 

He opened his upgrade menu and looked at his mana pool. ‘Thirty of thirty, I’m going to need to wor...

Myst in DC part 2

Cyborg smiled as everyone poured out of the van. “How was the mission?”

“The mission was great,” Starfire said enthusiastically as she floated off the ground, happy to be able to stretch.

“The drive back was less than fun,” Raven grumbled, looking at Beast Boy.

“If the radio was working, it would have been fine,” Beast Boy complained.

“What was wrong with the radio?” Cyborg asked as he glanced between the strange ball composed of a gel like substanc...

Myst in DC

Myst blinked as he found himself in a huge room looking up at a giant teenage girl wearing fishnet stockings, white shirt and black magician’s jacket with a top hat. “What the hell?”

Zatanna Zatara blinked as she looked down at the adorable looking basketball sized blue hersey’s kiss like slime in the summoning circle. “That shouldn’t have happened.”

“What were you expecting?” Myst asked as he glanced around the room. “Huh, that looks like Robin, Beast Boy, a p...

Myst at Hogwarts Part 13

Hermione pulled back the curtain’s on Harry’s bed and blinked as she saw the canvas tent. “Huh, that’s weird.” She poked her head inside the tent then stared as she saw an entire room. “It’s larger on the inside. I wonder if I could do this with a police box,” she mused as she stepped into the tent and looked around the room a bit surprised that it looked like an old hunting lodge as she wouldn’t have expected it from Harry.

“Miss Hermione, what can I get you?” Pet...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 25

Dawn ignored the people she’d tied to the walls with threads of air as she ran her fingers over the armrest of the intricately carved dark red crystal throne. ‘Awe, wonder and an unnatural amount of loyalty, yeah, that’s compulsion. There is no way the Empress wouldn’t have noticed the effect, hypocritical fuckers. Then again, am I any better? A hero would shatter the throne to make sure it was never used again, I’m going to use it to help save the next generation and build an islan...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 24

Ethan shivered as Dawn pulled the heat out of the large glass doors that she’d created and directed the heat into a patch of sand, turning it into a mess of molten glass. “That much heat should burn you to a crisp.”

“I’m assuming it has something to do with my resistance to magic,” Dawn mused as she used threads of air to float the doors over to the glass frame that she’d partially sunk into the sand.

“Probably,” Ethan grumbled as Dawn hung the large doors on the...

Myst at Hogwarts Part 12

Narcissa looked down at Draco. “Let me make sure I have this correct, you managed to insult the scions of House Potter and House Longbottom as well as a complete unknown, whom Mr. Potter was unusually familiar with.”

“She was just a mudblood,” he grumbled under his breath, knowing his mother would allow him to get away with at least that much while he was on enforced bedrest by the school medwitch.

“Which means that she is either going to be his chosen bride or mistress ...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 23

Willow stopped at the edge of the tent as she was hit with a cascade of memories as she saw her oldest friend, him giving her a yellow crayon because she’d broken hers and was too afraid to admit it, memories of growing up with him in Sunnydale, never mind she’d never actually been to Sunnydale as far as she knew. “Xander?”

Xander broke the piece of chalk he was using to sketch the plans for the sewer system as he looked up and saw a taller version of Willow standing in the entr...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 22

Xander pulled his attention off the group of fifty glowing women and girls checking over their packs and supplies when he heard someone walking toward him. He blinked as he saw a tall glowing red haired girl with Dawn’s face walking toward him dressed like an extra from a medieval movie. “Dawn?”

“Hey Xander,” Dawn replied absently as she walked up to Drusilla and Xander. She blinked as she tried to figure out why she knew a contractor from Sunnydale and where Sunnydale was or ...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 21

Dawn wasn’t sure if numbness or white hot rage was the correct response when you were told that your father’s alternate had been locked in a house then burned alive to set an example for the rest of the villagers. She supposed numbness and perhaps tears would come after she got revenge. “This might not be my world but they were still my people.”

“As much as I want them dead, your death isn’t going to solve anything,” Joiya al'Thor said in a soft voice.

“You’re ri...

Myst at Hogwarts Part 11

“Metallum deprehendare,” Myst whispered as he waved his wand over the rings sitting on the library table. “Metallum deprehen-dere?”

Hermione waved her wand over the rings with a look of concentration on her face. “Metallum deprenhendere.”

Tracey snickered as glowing symbols appeared over the rings then winced as she realized that laughing at her new friends wasn’t nice. “Sorry, it just slipped out.”

“Don’t worry about it,” Myst replied as he ran his f...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 20

“Don’t you have minions for that?” Darla asked as she walked over to the workbench where Dawn was polishing a silver bracelet with rag.

Dawn turned to look at Darla, noting the fact that she was wearing a color shifting dress and a pair of leather boots. “Bethany showed up to give them lessons.”

“Hmm, spending time with a hot redhead or doing chores, I know which I’d pick,” Darla replied with amusement. “Any luck with the bracelets?”

“More than I was ex...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 19

Rand twitched and almost dropped his bowl of stew as a wave of memories washed over him, one second he was chasing after Apple and the new girl and the next he was sitting with Mat and Perrin eating some type of garlic flavored pork stew. One second he was hearing about women going crazy and the next it was men burning the world down. He vividly recalled the Bel Tine day that a group of men in black silk had walked into town with six naked women and started testing everyone for the ability to...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 18

“It’s going to take a while to get used to the heat,” Egwene complained good naturedly as she absently tugged at the neckline of her wool nightgown.

“I’m going to have to thank the maid that packed my silk nightgown, even if it’s a bit scandalous,” Elayne muttered the last part.

“Considering over half the girls on the island don’t even bother with clothes, I doubt anyone is going to call you on it,” Tara pointed out, a touch surprised that Egwene hadn’t alrea...

Dawn and Reincarnation Part 17

Xander screamed as a bolt of lightning ripped through the top of the bus and hit Dawn, causing her to explode into a wave of colors that he had no name for and shouldn’t exist mixed with a sparkling green that washed over everything. He blinked as he found himself sprawled on his back on a harden wooden board in an unfamiliar room that he could see perfectly despite the fact that there weren’t any windows and the only light source was a small candle sitting on a wooden table. He blamed hi...
