Damian Wayne: Dark Son Chapter 37: Training Montage.

Chapter 37: Training Montage.

(General P.O.V)

The ceiling was too white.

Damian blinked once, then again. Pain moved like a ripple through his body—dull, distant, not entirely real. His breath came shallow, steady, automatic.

A groan to his left broke the quiet.

Jason was slumped in a chair by the window, head back, mouth slightly open, snoring. His arms were crossed, a blanket draped loosely over him like someone had tried to make him comfortable but gav...

Absolute Symbiote Chapter 11.

Chapter 11: The Jungle Secrets.

(Thomas' P.O.V)

Three days since the mudball incident.

Three days of stall cleaning, animal hunting at night, and whispering "please hurry the hell up" to Carnage every time I felt him twitch in my bloodstream.

Right now? I was crouched over the corpse of a knock off Hydra, a two-headed snake the size of the biggest horse in the stables, covered in dirt and still steaming from the beating I gave it.

I pressed my hand against b...

Chapter 1: A New Avatar.

(Adam's P.O.V)

The first thing you should know about me is that I deserve this.

The second? I still don’t regret a damn thing.

Boots clacked against the concrete like a funeral march. Two guards—each built like refrigerator units with enough muscles to bench press guilt itself—flanked me as we walked down a hallway that smelled like bleach, blood, and bad decisions. The lights above danced like they were mourning me, which was sweet....

Killing The Apocalypse Devil Chapter 2.

Chapter 2 – Fire, Fur, and the Swarm.

-0-

Kazuo and Kaede stood in front of the burning building.

What was left of their apartment crackled with oily flame, and somewhere within, the last surviving dakimakura of DandanPan’s ambiguously-gendered villain was curling into ash. Thick, black smoke spiraled up into the hell-colored sky, marking their departure like a funeral pyre and a signal flare rolled into one.

Kazuo watched the blaze with an expression that hove...

Killing The Apocalypse Devil Chapter 1 (Two Shot)


This was done for fun and my love for DandanDan. Not to be taken too serious. Why? Because it's a fever dream.

Chapter 1 – The Final Episode That Never Was.

-

The world ended with a blackout.

No fire and brimstone at first. No trumpet calls or horsemen. Just the sudden, soul-piercing silence of a dead screen where the DandanPan finale should have been. The buffering icon spun a few mocking rotations, then froze, a pixelated ouroboros of cosmic betrayal. Then...

Chapter 36: One Split-Second Defeat.

(General P.O.V)

Damian ran.

No theatrics. No stealth. Just speed—raw and unrelenting.

His boots hit stone like war drums. The tunnel walls blurred to gray. Veins of red Ashura energy flared across his legs, pouring power into his muscles until his form was a blur. The low thrum of his tattoos vibrated with each stride, echoing his pulse—fast, furious, frantic.

"Come on," he muttered to himself, teeth clenched. "Gotta ...

ONE SHOT: REBIRTH AND BULLSHIT.(MOSTLY BULLSHIT)

A/N: Based on an idea from C Black Star.

(Black's P.O.V)

Death is a funny thing. Not “haha” funny. More like “surprise colonoscopy” funny—unexpected, uncomfortable, and definitely not covered by insurance.

One second, I was alive. The next? Boom. Darkness. No tunnel, no angels, no sappy montage of all the people I disappointed....

(General P.O.V)

Loth ran. Percy and Annabeth matched his stride, muscles burning as the unstable corridors of the Ministry twisted behind them. The monstrous, magic-beast version of Dumbledore loomed over the wrecked chambers, absorbing errant spells like a virus devouring tissue. The creature’s roar shook the walls, and every step it took fractured the ground behind it.

Ahead, the Veil shimmered—an impossible doorway hanging in the corr...

The fight hadn’t lasted long.

Bob was taller now, and stronger than he remembered being. His father had tried to stand his ground—tried to roar, swing, threaten like always. But something was different this time. Not in the man. In Bob.

His hands had moved first. His mouth hadn’t said a word. There was no warning. No build-up. Just one sharp motion, and the first punch landed h...

Day four of Amazon house arrest. Workout rep #… I stopped counting.

I was halfway through my third set of pushups—sweaty, shirtless, and bored enough to start naming the ants on the floor—when the door creaked open behind me.

Finally.

“Princess Sunshine,” I grunted. “You remembered I exist.”

Diana walked in like she hadn’t just ghosted me for four days straight. No apology. No explanation. Just ...

Chapter 35: Father and Sons.

(General P.O.V)

The underground tunnel echoed with the sharp clatter of boots and the sting of tension.

Batman and Nightwing rounded the final bend in the lower chamber of Arkham’s sub-basement—dark, damp, suffocatingly narrow.

Over comms, Batgirl and Robin were coordinating with GCPD upstairs, working to suppress the riot. It wasn’t going smoothly, but it never did in Arkham.

The deeper they went, the more it felt like th...

Solving The Biggest Issue.

So I have a shitty habit of dropping fics. And as long as I have incomplete books, I'll never pour my 110% undivided focus onto current and future projects.

It's a curse. A blight.

And it's draining my morale when I should be dreaming of getting drained by Wonder Woman's ahem...anyway, to kill my allergic aversion to finishing projects, here's a poll.

Chapter 10: Mathew's Past.

(General P.O.V)

Mathew stood at the base of the Throne.

It wasn’t built. It had grown—from strings, from cause and consequence. Thousands of glowing narrative threads converged into its seat, each one a timeline, a universe, a fate. It pulsed. Waiting.

He took one step forward.

“Stop.” Strange’s voice cut across the silence.

Mathew glanced over his shoulder.

“You sit there,” Strange said, “and you’re...

Everything hurt.

Not like before. Not even close.

This was layered pain. Too much to categorize. Too much to survive.

I couldn’t scream. My throat was ash. I could only twitch inside the burning, black husk of what used to be my body.

Loki stood nearby, watching with the satisfaction of someone reading the last page of a book he already knew the ending to.

“You’re feeling it, aren’t you?” he ...

Chapter 8: Mounting Pressure.

(General P.O.V)

Mathew groaned.

Mjolnir was planted square on his chest, heavy as a planet. His fingers dug under the edge, arms straining. It didn’t budge.

“Little help here,” he called out.

Strange landed beside him, parrying a blast of energy with a casual flick of his wrist. He glanced down.

“Right,” he said. “You do know you can’t lift that unless you’re worthy.”

Mathew gritted his teeth. “...

“What happened to Uatu?” I asked.

Strange didn’t answer right away. He took another sip from his cup, eyes fixed on the horizon.

“I don’t know,” he said finally. “The Watchers live inside the Nexus of Reality. Not exactly a place you send postcards from. His message came through the Information Superrealm.”

I blinked. “The what?”

“It’s a realm that stores all conscious thought in t...

Chapter 6: Seeking Answers.

Mathew stood over the silver statue, body still glowing with slow-moving lines of red and green. Around him, debris and silence hung in the air. Then came footsteps—measured, deliberate.

He didn’t have to look to know it was her.

Natasha Romanoff approached from the edge of the chaos, her movements careful. A gun was in her hand, trained on him, safety off.

He didn’t flinch.

The door blew off the hinges.

Before Mathew could even lift his head, black-suited S.H.I.E.L.D. agents swarmed in, weapons raised, movements sharp and practiced. Natalia Romanoff—Black Widow—stepped in last, gun drawn but not pointed.

“Mathew Malloy,” she said, “you’re under arrest for the suspected murder of Charles Xavier.”

Mathew didn’t move.

Mathew sat in the passenger seat with his foot tapping against the floor of the car. A steady, unconscious rhythm. Natalia noticed. She reached into the center console and pulled out a small pack of gum.

“Want one?” she offered.

He shook his head without looking at her. “I’m good.”

His eyes stayed fixed on the road ahead.

“Always this quiet?” she asked.

Loki didn’t waste time.

“You’ve been creating timelines,” he said. “That’s not your job.”

I kept looking around the space we were in. It was nothing like Earth. Nothing like anything. It didn’t respond to me. I couldn’t feel the usual pull under my skin. No atoms bending. No time threads waiting to be redirected. I tried to flex my power just to test it—nothing happened.

Smoke covered everything. It hung in the air like fog, thick and heavy. I couldn’t hear anything except the wind moving through broken ground and distant metal groaning under its own weight. I stood alone inside a crater the size of a city. Because it was a city. Or used to be. New York was gone.

I felt the number. The one that never stopped ticking in my head. Eight billion reduced by hundreds of millions. En...

Four shadows danced against the dim lighting of the cave.

On the Batcomputer screen: surveillance footage, satellite maps, heat signatures, police reports. The remains of East End were smoldering red and orange, even on thermal.
