Jade  and Roy were in a hurry when they got back. Apparently they found the  original Roy and had him shipped to a hospital, and they were going to  wait with him until he woke up. We managed to extract a promise from  them to bring Lian to dinner at the penthouse and to tell Paula Jim  wouldn't be there. We'd decided they could alternate weeks, and we  wanted to introduce Lian to Hana. So we said out...

Trolls, unfortunately, lived in sewers. They didn't like the sun  apparently so we had to wade into the dark and muck to find the  bastards. Arriving where the sewer tunnels had their entrance, I could  see why the Troll population was left alone. Aside from the insane  regeneration, no one in their right mind would want to wade through  literal rivers of dumpster water to track down something that wanted to  kill them. Which didn't really say much about my own s...

I  got Dinah settled in and then headed back to Metro the next day. I was  making some progress on word of mouth with Kara's help. She knew a lot  of people, and watching her perky ass bounce around my shop was a good  way to enjoy my day. Sadly it was Thursday, so she had to be in school.  Technically so did I but I wired the principal a hundred grand and told  him to take care of it. I would gradu...

Artemis  had to be dragged away from Lian, albeit she put up a quiet resistance.  Paula's fond smile never left her daughter, but when we finally got out  of the room she pulled me into a tight hug. "It's good to see you too  Morgan, I'm sorry I didn't greet you. You look good. Thank you so much  for looking out for her." She chuckled sadly. "Just another thing I owe  Marie. Raising such a good boy. I...

Wish upon the Stars chapter 65

The next week was a blur of grinding and training. I put in some  serious work with Benny and Jessie. Callie and I had talked and given  the massive point difference between G and F rank in terms of  requirement, my wishes were better spent on the other two first. With  seven days of wishes we managed to thirty five points between the two of  them. Given how behind he was we made it twenty points for Benny and  fifteen for Jessie.

Benny didn't  have al...

Dinah  asked me to meet her at a boxing gym. She said asap, but was fine with  waiting a few hours to end my day, so I finished out the business day  early at eight. We sold about fifty pairs of glasses, though I was a bit  distracted to notice the details. Still, I handed over the pair of H  ranks with my number to Kara and thanked her for the help, asking her to  come back the next day to discuss ...

March 19th 2016 Doomhallow Hall 12:00 PM EDT

The  next day saw another five Knights added to my growing regiment, and me  back at the hall spending time with my girls. Dreamer and I had a  wonderful time on our date and I felt like we were really connecting,  Zee had been happy but also extra clingy since we came back, which I  didn't feel any need to complain about. My girl felt amazing when she  was clinging to you. Sadly though, all of t...

Wish upon the Stars chapter 64

The next morning found me sitting in my room with Callie. She was  here to talk about possible wishes to get her Might up. We'd decided to  wait until later today to head back to the academy, and when I told  Callie that wishes required payment she had asked for this conversation.

She  seemed excited to get started, and as we settled in to talk she opened  with a question that kind of caught me flat footed. "What exactly can I  use to pay for a wish? Like d...

Cherry  managed to get my paperwork in order pretty easily. She had everything backdated and then pushed through the proper channels to pretend we had met all the requirements for both Gotham and Metropolis business licenses. Much like some companies would incorporate in specific tax havens, we set ours up in Gotham despite the Metropolis aimed structure of the company. Any business decisions or court cas...

March 18th 2016 Doomhallow Hall 12:00 PM EDT

I  had no fucking idea where I was supposed to find a theme park. Luckily,  I DID know where to find a Circus, though it wasn't exactly the same  thing. Gotham had a pretty famous one in town, and after summoning  another five Soulless Knights, making sure to keep a thousand points on  me for emergencies, Dreamer and I officially left for our date, with Zee  basically shoving us out the door with...

Wish upon the Stars chapter 63

Getting the others together was easier than expected at this time of  night. Then again higher Vitality meant we needed less sleep, even if I  usually tried to get as much as I could. So gathering them all up to  meet in my room was pretty simple. It only took about fifteen minutes to  get them all in the same room with me. Before they arrived at my room I  used my one final Skill charge for the day to activate Seek Hidden,  scanning the room for listening device...

Cherry  had Katharsis and Bleak Michael under control with whatever her  relation to them was, so dismissing them was easy enough once she was  mine. I didn't keep them, because they were associated with Knightfall. I  handed them both a wad of cash and told them to get the hell out of  Gotham, my mask preventing them from learning my identity of course.  Then Cherry disposed of her costume...

I  couldn't help but stare at Dreamer's body. We'd had sex plenty, but it  was usually her in civvies or her costume. I hadn't seen her in lingerie  before, and she looked fucking spectacular. Long, smooth legs, tight,  flat stomach, those huge tits still shockingly perky despite how big  they were. The lingerie was a gauzy, lacy thing. Showed more that it  covered, but still obscured enough to t...

Wish upon the Stars chapter 62

I'd fought Callie before, several times, but those sparring sessions  were almost universally categorized by her holding back so she didn't  crush me. With exponentially more stats and a substantial Impact  advantage she had been more humoring me before than actively fighting.  Now that I was at G rank, she still had that stat advantage, but her  Impact was the same as mine. In the spirit of mitigating some of that  advantage, my first move when we started was Mi...

[warning minor blackmail sex at first.]

The  gaping expression on that uppity bitch's face was...hilarious. She  wasn't expecting me to blackmail her into fucking me. I didn't much  care. She was a psycho and I couldn't have her running around free, so  she was either going back to Arkham or she was going to throw that ass  in a circle. Granted I probably should have just killed he...

Blue  Beetle was actually a lot scarier than he looked. I hadn't really given  B'arzz a chance to catch his breath when he was being scarab puppeted,  but with time to actually try, Blue was a scary fucking guy. Not only  could he morph literally any part of his body into a weapon, he could  merge multiple parts together to make bigger scarier ones. He put his  hands besides each other and th...

Wish upon the Stars chapter 61

That night I logged onto Doom Sovereign, trading for a few instances  of DS skill in order to make sure all my wishes got used. I also called  Zeke, who basically told me he'd given me all the help he could and to  deal with it myself. I understood his position, the geas he was under  made him unable to help me too much and he'd been pushing, but that  didn't make me feel any better. Once all that was done I decided that I  was going to make use of my time to do ...

January 17th 2016 Iceberg Lounge 12:00 PM EDT

Keeping  my costume in the car had become second nature, which was good, because  I needed it. I didn't stop to play around with Jay or Raven, I walked  right past the guards, who let me by without a fuss and up to the floor  where I knew I'd find the Calculator. Once I got there I sat down across  from him. His goons, different ones than last time, tensed, but the  cold man gestured sharply and...

March 17th 2016 Doomhallow Hall  9:00 PM EDT

The  creature before me was...intimidating. It was about ten feet tall, with  ghostly green fire illuminating the eyes. It's body was a massive suit  of void black armor swirled with purple, with the ghostly green of  ectoplasm shining eerily from the joints and the symbol I knew denoted  the heartless on it's chest. From it's back rose a pair or wide jagged  devil wings, adding a demonic ca...

Once Cark was gone we finished our drinks and headed for the library.  As we walked, Jessie spoke up. "That poor guy. I can't imagine having  someone steal your younger sibling. Do you think we can keep an eye out?  Just in case we run into anyone whose heard anything. I can't believe  someone out there is just grabbing kids." She sounded angrier than I'd  ever heard her, and I couldn't blame her. Aside from the terrible fact  that someone was taking children fro...

January 17th 2016 Arkham Asylum 10:00 AM EDT

The  next day found me at Arkham Asylum. I was at ten thousand points after  Whisper's top up, and now up to twenty since I actually bothered to  collect Devastation's living corpse from where Waylon had stashed it.  I  wasn't sure exactly how long it would BE living, given the complete  lack of a person inside to feed or water it, but for now it was, and  just like I didn't collect points o...

Ten  days. Ten days since we'd set up the fund, since we'd mobilized the  underworld against The Reach, and it was finally time. Time for a  purchase that I was pretty sure I couldn't possibly afford without all  my shadow and darkness themed abilities. I remembered this particular  email costing up in the millions the first time I saw it, though I  hadn't paid much attention because of that...

Wish upon the Stars chapter 59

The dark haired guy, to his credit, did not try to hide or back down  when Riley came out with his gun. I assumed the gun was at least G rank,  or the bullets were, because otherwise what would be the point. I could  vaguely feel a sense of threat from the thing. I wasn't sure how  effective guns were at higher levels of Might and Perception, since even  high level weapons probably wouldn't fire bullets that were actually  faster, but G rank was still within the ...

The  drive home was actually much longer than I thought it was. I didn't  care that much but I had to clamp down on my instincts to speed.  Unfortunately I also hit traffic, and by the time I got to the Palace  and got inside to meet Whisper it was already ten. Despite that when I  saw the pile of treasure on my floor (mostly books paintings and some  jewelry) I almost sagged with relief.<...

We  made our way back to the island later that night to talk to Jim about  the plan. When I told him about it he just sat there for a minute, and  then burst out laughing. "Work smarter not harder lad! I've never been  so proud. Why do it yourself when you can get others to do it at almost  no cost to yourself. That's how a gentleman thief operates. I can  certainly put the word out once the ...

Wish upon the Stars chapter 58

Contrary to what I was expecting after Velan,  The Rajak WCP's G district was exceptionally bright. Not as in there was sunlight shining down on it or anything like that, but because of all the incredibly brightly lit buildings. It looked like a neon city under a night sky with no stars. Every inch was lit but the darkness above  us fell away into an empty void from shadows due to the sheer height of  the massive ceiling. I wasn't sure how deep we were, but it wasn't something ...

I  discovered two things within a minute or two of starting that fight.  First of all, buff Greek chicks look fucking sexy naked and covered in  oil. Second of all, being distracted by naked oily tits is REALLY  suboptimal for a wrestling match, especially with someone who is  decidedly stronger than you are. I managed to slip free of the first  exchange because of the olive oil, and as soon as ...

March 7th 2016 Mount Justice 2:00 PM EDT

My  plan was simple. Admittedly not as simple as my ORIGINAL plan, which  had been to just blow up every trace of The Reach on the planet, but  still not complex. Zee had talked me down from that one after we found  out what they were planning, back before we involved the League. As I  shared it with Nightwing, however, the muscular man looked more dubious  with every word I spoke.

He  gla...

The next day found me doing something I really didn't want to do, but  felt compelled to out of caution. I had to tell Benny and the girls  about the Heartrippers. I had wanted to avoid it, but I'd come to the  conclusion that just passively waiting for assassination attempts was  stupid. They were sleepers, which meant they had to be triggered, which  meant they had to have a handler. If I could find out who that guy was  and get rid of him then hopefully there ...

Fake Raven was slumped against me when Barbie came back. My redhead pulled open  the door, looked over that well fucked goth, and rolled her eyes,  climbing in. She eyed the girl with exasperation. "Orders told me to  tell you she expects you back inside in about ten minutes. She also said  that the parking lot does NOT count as an outcall order, and not to do  that again, no matter how much someone offe...
