Del  looked, as per usual, a little spacey but generally happy to be here. I  very carefully did NOT use my aura sight to look at her. I was still  having twitching fits from seeing Taylor's gift, I had no clue what  looking at one of the Endless would do to me. Zee and Drea  looked...well, varying degrees of tense. Zee mostly seemed anticipatory,  but Drea hadn't been with us last time Del showed u...

Wish upon the Stars chapter 266

There were ten of the dog masked men. I didn't even consciously count  them, my Focus and Perception synergizing to grant me an innate sense  of the number of enemies based on the various inputs. I wasn't sure if  that was some kind of side effect of my training with Callie, or if it  was just a factor of surpassing some threshold of either stat, but  regardless, I could tell without even looking how many men were around  us and where they were standing.

Since  I'm not a fucking idiot, I did NOT bring the spawn of Batman into my  house and leave him alone to plant cameras or some shit. Admittedly, I  considered it for the sheer shock value. Letting him plant them and then  detecting them would have let me stage a threesome with Barbie and Zee,  just to show him I was doing it right where he had fucked up. In the  end though, it would have been a h...

I had assumed, based on prior experience, that the trip to the dark  district would be accomplished through an elevator. I'd used my five  wishes all on Sloane and the others yesterday, netting myself another  fifteen points of Perception and getting that stat to an even one  hundred fifty, and had plans to do the same today if I didn't need them  in the dark district, as we were told to show up at the Pavilion pretty  early.

To my surprise though, when we ...

When  we came back to awareness after going through the door, I was half  expecting to be under attack or standing in some kind of hellscape. I  braced myself for danger, still armored up, and looked around  immediately to see...nothing. Not like an aggressive nothing like some  kind of void, but just the absence of danger. We were standing on a  pretty large grassy hill overlooking what appeared to...

We headed straight for the Pavilion when we touched down. There was  no rush getting home, at least not for the four of us. Zeke headed back  with Cass and Cark, and Celine said goodbye to Benny and headed for the  Academy to meet up with her team. When we got to the Pavilion, it was  mostly empty. We'd gotten there around mid morning, and Abel and Mel  were relaxing in the stands, sharing a cup of something hot and with  Alden and chatting as they watched the Pa...

Amy  met me at the door of the house in a cute low cut summer dress and  sunglasses she kept pushed up her head. She bounced excitedly up to snag  my arm as she came close enough. I'd spent the last few hours talking  out various aspects of the territory expansion with the girls. Dinah had  come downstairs and she was inserting herself into the discussion. I  didn't even know...

The rest of the visit home went by in a blur. Between finally getting  Maria her ability (magnetism of all things), going out to hang out  around town with Callie, spending time with Amelia, and catching up with  Maria while she got to know Celine, the days just flew past. By the  time we were ready to head home I had to basically force myself to  leave. It had been so relaxing and peaceful since we got here that the  thought of returning to Rajak to deal with th...

We  spent the next two days hanging out and bonding, but despite the fun we  were having on the island, the knowledge that we had the means to leave  had kind of ruined things. I'd talked over everything with the others,  mentioning the dark cave behind the waterfall. I'd even checked it out  with my aura sight, and the thing was basically a wellspring of dark  energy on a level I'd never even see...

New York City, Club Impulse , February 11th 2001, 6:00 PM EDT

After  talking through things with Betty and helping Peter get settled, I  headed home with a few hundred bucks in my pocket. Peter had been paid a  signing bonus for getting the site up, and he insisted on splitting it  with me. I wasn't in a position to turn that down, so I just promised to  pay him back when I made some of the cash back. The few hundred was  enough for a sleep...

I  spent hours on the girls, then got some sleep. With so much energy in  my body I didn't need to sleep much, but I still enjoyed the chance to  relax. Unfortunately, we still had business to attend to, so as much run  as railing Dinah and Whisper into a drooling mess, was, I had to get up  and do my thing. I headed for the bathroom to shower, and as I came out  of my room, ...

The  next morning the girls all left for their spa weekend. Tommy, Jim, and  Taylor decided to stay in and have a poker game. That left John, Wally,  and I to check out the island to try to track down the keyhole. It was  mostly an excuse to screw around and hang out, we weren't looking too  hard, but it seemed like a good idea for SOMEONE to be looking, even if  we weren't in a hurry to leave. 2022-12-24 11:38:56 +0000 UTC View Post

Stella didn't come down to meet us, because she was busy and also in  charge. She DID call us up to say hello, which was nice, and if was fun  to see Celine and Benny awed by SOMETHING. Stella's office was  impressive in it's own right. It occurred to me that as a Guild Master  of one of the branches, she would have access to resources that an  F-ranker in Valen might not. I'd only ever met with E-rankers in  official faction headquarters, it was probable people ...

smut chapter. rough sex warning ahead. BDSM and verbal abuse with consent.

Whisper shoved herself down my cock was the only air hose on a sinking  submarine. Seriously, that bitch rolled her throat down me like a fresh  condom. I groaned in appreciation at the sensation. Fuck that was good. I  forgot how much I loved her blowjobs. It wasn't a vibrating puss...

Wish upon the Stars chapter 261

We talked over meeting with Maria about the wish, but I realized no one had explained to her about how it worked it, and if I offered her one I couldn't tell her to wish for an ability without compromising it we decided to make that  a tomorrow plan. Today we were going in to see Stella and Cap at the  guild. Amelia was coming with us to do her Intake, but other than that  it was just Jessie, Callie, Benny, Celine, and I. Cass and Cark decided  to sit things out ...

Getting  out of the shower, I groaned and stretched. "Ok, that was a good day. I  really needed that. I'm even more relaxed than I was after the Arcadia  Project. How about you girls?" I grinned over at my sorceress and our  goddess, slumped bonelessly on the bed. They'd showered first,  separately. We'd all decided that showering together would kind of  defeat the purpose. "Also, am I crazy, or i...

I could not, as it turned out, trade three points for an all out  attack from an I-ranker, regardless of the utility or how much I valued  it's usefulness. I managed to barely squeak by at one point per wish for  the attacks, and she had to promise me ten attacks per wish to even  justify that. It was annoying that this was when I found out the limits  of how far I could push things, but I knew there had to be one. No  matter how much I valued something, base val...

In  the end, we were able to take over about ten square miles of territory  around the Iceberg Lounge total. Jinx and her crew were in charge of the  area they were in, and they were happy to turn it over. Jinx seemed  fascinated by me, but was swept away by Strega when we got to the  lounge, she declared she was going to be taking her as an apprentice,  and hurried her off h...

We headed home a few hours later, both in a surprisingly good mood.  Lauren and Amber had actually gotten Callie to be pretty friendly once  she and Ashley were banned from speaking and by the end of the night I  think everyone had fun. I'd have expected the attempted ass kicking and  reputation bomb to have stepped on toes, but everyone just kind of blew  it off as the cost of doing business. Heroes vs villains. I really  didn't get the way the Unity worked. But...

Alright folks. Didn't get conclusive responses on votes, so I decided to do a smut chapter today. People often say Morgan doesn't  take breaks enough and what better time than a beach episode. Anyone who isn't interested in the smut feel free to skip it, our regular  activities resume tomorrow.

Apparently there were preparations necessary for the 'dance off' so I  was able to steal Callie away before the competition actually started. I  dragged her over to the table again, and she covered us with a film of  shadow that cut off our words due to some stealth infusion. As soon as  the bubble went up, she started cursing. "That bitch! She completely  outmaneuvered me. How did I not see that coming?"

I just  kind of...stared. Finally my brain started w...

"So  you're absolutely sure this is the right place?" I asked goon 7.  "Because you assholes swore that Mad Hatter was holed up in that  abandoned boarding house, and it turned out to be a hat rack. I get that  there's some leeway because of the dirty windows, but that's still a  big fuckup. You can absolutely swear to me that a group of metas is in  there? Because if we go in there and it's just ...

New York City, Dockside Warehouse , February 11th 2001, 8:00 AM EDT

I rolled out of bed bright and early the next day, no alarms required. I  had a thing about interrupted sleep. I refused to use alarms of any  kind because I felt like any nights sleep was ruined if it ended in  annoying screeching, so I always made sure to give myself eight to ten  hours before I had to do anything whenever I went to bed. That way I had  time to have my natur...

We  emerged from the keyhole into water. Again. I was fucking pissed and  started splashing around, worried we might be about to drown or  something, until I realized that the dark and wet was just a literal  night sky (one with a LOT of stars) over ankle deep water. "Gods damn  it!" I shouted. "Can anyone tell me why every fucking world in the dark  multiverse is fucking WET!" If this was another damp Gotham...

Despite  my amazing and decisive show of force to Penguin to make sure he took  us all seriously, I found myself betrayed at the last minute by my own  women. My damned wife and her redheaded accomplice railroaded me into  taking a group of all male minions. Apparently they were concerned I'd  get distracted or show off if there was any fuckable girls around. Which  was complete bullshit. I was the...

Disaster, unsurprisingly, was quickly followed by her sisters, and  the rest of the people at our table were clear within seconds. From what  Callie told me, Ascendant clubs tended to be incredibly dramatic by  nature. Random brawls weren't unusual at places like this, and everyone  knew exactly what to do in the event of a fight. They couldn't have been  gone faster if they had teleported. The triplets stalked across the  intervening space, eyes glued to Callie,...

Dealing  with Scilla was MUCH more stressful with The Drowned doing her best to  tear me apart with advanced water magic. My cryoplasm was a perfect  counter for her water, and the ice lightning in particular was scarily  effective (no pun intended) but the attacks she was throwing my way were  coming so fast and from so many directions that even my augmented  reflexes were having trouble k...

Callie was still fuming when we made to the bar. I, as an experienced  boyfriend, did NOT bug her about what was making her angry until she  decided to talk about it herself. We just ordered out drinks (I got a  smoothie with blueberries and banana) and found a table to sit down at.  Once we made it to the table I took my seat and waited patiently for her  to process, letting the bottom my mask open into a mouth so I could  take a long pull of my delicious drink....

Apart  from the whole fortress thing, the Iceberg Lounge was mostly unchanged  to my surprise. The iceberg that was its namesake was still there, the  bars were all still open, and the floors were still clean and mostly  uncrowded as people spread out along the different levels. As usual, as  soon as I entered, one of Penguin's three assistants was there in a  flash. Jay, the pretty blonde who alwa...

I expected to be stopped at the door of the Shuffle Masquerade, given  Callie was with me and apparently the triplets hated her, but to my  surprise the bouncer just waved us both through. Once we got inside, I  stuck close to her so we didn't get separated. It was...a lot. I wasn't  overly fond of places like this. It wasn't just the crowds, I'd dealt  with those before, it was more that the sensation of churning bodies  packed into a small building like this ma...
