13 Cape Fight 2 Electric Boogaloo

"𝘏𝘦𝘭𝘱 people? You are a 𝘮𝘶𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘳, how can you stand there and act like you're a good person!?"

Redemption's voice is thick with contempt and an undercurrent of anger that is slowly but surely bleeding away any of the nervousness she had before.

It almost makes me laugh.

"Now now Red~ I think you're misunderstanding something.~" I respond with a singsong voice, clearly annoying her with my nonchalant attitud...

12 Meeting Heroes 2 Electric Boogaloo

After my rather poor showing against Clay, I decided to take a break for a while so that I can get some exercise in.

To that end, I considered going to a gym, but I know that I don't look like I should be able to lift what I can.

Not that it's an incredible amount, in fact a properly trained man could probably lift more than me, but I've found that speed is more my strong suit than pure strength anyway.

But since I don't want to be outed, I found an out of the way empty buil...

11 Cape Fight!

I suppose I'll be getting that cape fight sooner than expected then.

Standing before me is a giant thing that only loosely resembles a man.

It's standing at about 15 foot tall and it's body appears to be made out of rock, like a giant golem.

His sheer size makes me wonder how in the hell I didn't notice him, but a quick look up shows that he was hiding in the rafters and I didn't see him because of the sawtooth design of the roof.

Well, that sucks, and unless he just l...

10 Second Night Out

After the boys have both gone to sleep, I leave the flat through the window with my 'cape bag' at a little past midnight.

Earlier today, James gave me an idea.

See, I haven't really had much of a plan for what I'm doing. Beyond making some money, my actions haven't really had much purpose.

So why not be what James thinks I am, and just be a vigilante?

It's not like it will hugely impact what I was doing anyway, it just means that I won't be robbing any banks and that I...

9 Meeting Heroes

My journey back to the flat unfortunately gets waylaid a few minutes later as I notice something in the near distance.

There is an open area at a crossroads in the street that is currently rather crowded and it doesn't take me long to see why.

There are heroes. A pair of them and they are apparently here to do a meet and greet or something and suddenly a frankly hilarious idea plants itself in my mind.

What if I started collecting hero signatures?

The thought is too fu...

8 Shopping Trip

Only after getting Hailey's name and leaving did I remember the whole money situation, which meant I had to go back to grab all the cash I could find.

Thankfully, I was able to sneak past Hailey, because otherwise I would have been super embarrassed.

After that, all I had to worry about was cleaning all of the blood off of myself.

I decided to go to that house I broke into on my first night here, since I at least knew that there was a working shower there.

So after fir...

7 Interlude: Hailey Finnegan

Guard duty is never fun, but I suppose that's fine, because at least it's safe, and I get paid either way.

Still, the company could at least be better, Quinten is the only one here that's any good at poker, and he spends all his time in the back counting the cash and doing accounting or whatever.

Numbers confuse me.

However, apparently I tempted fate because my nice, quiet night of scamming these idiots out of all their cash is rudely interrupted by the crashing sound of gla...

6 Making Friends Again

It barely takes me ten minutes of roof hopping to get to the supposed 'stash house'.

I've watched enough movies to know that simply barging in isn't a good idea, so I come to a stop on a building across the street from the small warehouse to allow myself a little observation.

The building itself isn't a full warehouse, which makes sense since despite being towards the less populated parts of the city, we aren't actually in a warehouse district.

Instead, it looks to me like t...

5 Interesting Conversation

"Alright, we'll both get back while you're out, so just remember to lock the door behind you and we'll see you tonight!" James waves over his shoulder as he and Theo leave the flat early in the morning to go to their jobs.

Yesterday really didn't go how I was expecting it to.

For one, the boys held up to their promise and let me crash with them for now. We all went straight to sleep once we got here, the flat being in the centre of Columbus, a similar distance from the PRT(Parahum...

4 Breaking Tropes

So, crime.

How does one do crime?

More importantly, how does one make money doing crime?

Honestly, this is kinda new territory for me, the most illegal things I've done being petty theft and throwing rocks with copper wire wrapped around them at telephone wires, so I wasn't entirely sure how to go about it, but then I had the most amazing idea I must have ever had in my life.

Ok, that's an exaggeration, but it is a pretty good idea.

See, I may not know how to do ...

3 Decisions decisions

If you asked Noah what it was like working for the PRT, he would tell you that he's just glad he was born in Ohio, because even if the job of being a PRT director was a massive headache most of the time, he could at least take solace in the fact that he doesn't have to deal with half the shit the other directors complain about.

Hell, it wasn't that long ago that poor Armstrong had to deal with that 'Boston Games' incident, and what a shitshow that was.

But not here in Ohio, other ...

2 Dreamer

After a few more hours of driving I am starting to get tired.

I've already eaten Mark, though I only had his arms and legs, since his organs started rotting and were yucky, and I since I don't know anything about body disposal, I just pulled over and threw what was left behind some trees.

To be perfectly honest, even I find it kind of strange just how quickly I've adapted to the thought of cannibalism. I mean, I never doubted that I would get used to it, especially since I don't r...

1 It Begins

You always dream about getting Powers.

In this world of Hero's, Villains and Monsters, that is an irrevocable truth.

There really aren't exceptions. Even just some random soulless businessman will at least have the passing thought of how much easier their life and job could be with the help of Powers.

Even for those of us who knew what it meant to be a Cape. What it meant to trigger.

Even then, we would think, 'one super traumatic event in exchange for su...

Update

Hey Hey, sorry for the long absence, but I'm back now and with a new fic! It's probably gonna be a few days till I get it to 10 chapters, but by then it should kick off properly, as you may have noticed that I am not very good at beginings and endings :3

4 Bad chap :<

The next day, late in the evening Simon opens the door to my room, where I was hoping for a sudden inspiration for my plans.

"New job for ya. Cyclops thinks one of our depots has been compromised so we're in a rush to get everything moved out. It's the one down by that kebab place." Is all Simon says before turning around and leaving.

Mentally I sigh but physically I just get up and leave the room. My comfortable clothes are replaced by a tracksuit with a hoodie on top via a quick...

3 Wound Control

Inside of a boxing ring stand four people. One is a grown man with short black hair and casual cloths while the other three surrounding him are all young boys.

Clearly someone likes bullying children.

Of the three young boys, the oldest is a fourteen year old with natural frosty blue hair that matches his eyes that have a cold look to them and very pale skin. He is wearing black sports shorts and a short sleeved black compress shirt.

This is Archie, one of the three of Reave...

2 We all start somewhere

Even though I have spent so much time thinking and planning how to escape Karma, I still don't think it's something I will be able to do for a while yet.

Honestly, I don't even really have a plan.

I am aware of my own weaknesses, I am young and inexperienced. So I know that right now I couldn't come up with a plan to escape, but that doesn't mean I can't start preparing.

Someday, I will come up with a plan, and when that time comes, having money and information can only help...

1 Humble Beginnings

The location was just a street away and all I could think was, it's nice to be alone for once.

Since a few years ago I had been looking forward to not having to be escorted for all of my jobs. Now that I am by myself I can finally start moving my plan beyond the theoretical.

I bump into a passer-by on the street, making us both stumble backwards. I react quickly and apologise first, smiling embarrassedly and lowering my head deferentially even as the well dressed man simply scoffs...

Next Work

Ok so, I was going to do a My Hero Academia fic next, but I was going to set it in England because I can't be arsed to come up with Japanese names again, but then I realised that I was not even going to use anything from MHA so I have now decided that I am going to write an original.

However I am struggling slightly with getting it started, so it will probably be a few more days before the first chap comes out, but I will likely be able to write more consistently once I get started.

119 The End

"You know this guy?" Hashirama asks to Minato who doesn't take his eyes off of me.

"Yeah, he's my best friend. He died a few months before I did."

People are now looking between Minato, Madara and I, not really knowing what they should be doing, which makes sense.

Meanwhile I made a mirror out of chakra, because I can do that now, and am checking out my new look.

My shirt is gone for some reason and my long cardigan is now white and I can tell it's made from pure chakr...

118 Secret Ending 4

You know, it's really stupid to me that by just knowing the right hand signs anyone summoned by the Edo Tensei can simply dissolve the contract that gives the summoner control and just be immortal.

I still don't like doing hand signs, but this is a lot more complicated than elemental transformations so I didn't really have much choice but to use them.

Of course, I am still weaker than when I was alive, but I think the endlessly regenerating chakra makes up for that.

However,...

117 Secret Ending 3

After the second meteor fell I realised that I have probably been spending too much time with this and should end it.

Not that it is that urgent of a thing, I still have time after all, but I should stop just clashing against her Jutsu for fun.

Decision made, when I turn back to Hanari I enter full stealth again, immediately putting her on guard, her vortex of thorns once again surrounding her.

But I am not going easy this time, so instead of going for her, I drop into the v...

116 Secret Ending 2 Electric Boogaloo

After I stopped laughing I got back to my feet and took another moment to just take in my daughter.

"So, Hokage huh? That means you should be pretty string by now right? Well, I am currently immortal, so how about you show me what you got?" I give her a smirk as I say that.

Then I realise something. I'm like, twenty four and my daughter here is twenty.

Isn't that weird?

I challenged her to a fight partly because I do have to fight someone because of the compulsions, bu...

115 Secret Ending

My first thought is 'why the fuck am I under water?'.

Then the knowledge of my entire life is crammed into my mind in an instant and I remember everything.

Who I am, as well as the fact that I died.

Shit. That definitely was not a part of the plan.

But hey, I can work with this, so long as nothing else has gone awry it should all be fine in the end.

As I launch myself above the water I inspect my body and chakra.

The first thing I check is that yes, I still...

114 Epilogue Finale

The moment the words Sasuke Uchiha left the thing playing human's mouth I am moving.

Before anyone can react I am in front of it and grabbing it by it's throat to slam it into the ground.

"Sasuke Uchiha is here?" My voice colder than ice whispers out like thunder, my murderous intent flooding the room and making everyone who isn't a Kage take a step back, including the ever calm Mifune.

I did not love Itachi, ok maybe that's a bit of a lie, but he was too much of a pacifist ...

113 Epilogue 4

So much has happened lately that sometime I wake up and forget all of my new responsibilities.

The responsibilities of the Hokage that is.

You see, my name is Hanari Senju and I am now twenty years old. I am also the Fifth Hokage of Konoha as well as the youngest Hokage ever.

You see, three years ago, the traitor Orochimaru decided to crash the party during the Chunin exams.

The fact that he ruined my brats' big day pisses me off, even more with the knowledge that the ...

112 Epilogue 3

When Asuma-sensei said we would be doing joint training today I felt about the same as I have always felt about most things really.

It's all such a drag.

You know the problem with being as smart as I am?

Because the more intelligent you are, the easier it is to see how nothing matters and we have no purpose.

That's not to say life can not have no meaning, simply that life does not have meanings simply by being. We have to give it meaning.

Which is why most things...

111 Epilogue 2 Electric Boogaloo

"Have a good night Tsunade-sama, and thank you again for stepping in." Some Medic call out to me as I leave the hospital for the day.

He probably has a name, but I really just don't care enough to remember it.

I find myself doing that a lot these days if I'm honest with myself.

I start the walk back home as I get lost in thoughts.

Ever since he...

I've lost so much, and I just keep losing.

First Hashirama-Jii, then Mito-Ba.

Then Dan.

And then, w...

110 I remember...

I still remember the day perfectly.

I could telly you every detail, even as they seemed so inconsequential at the time.

Even though I didn't properly understand what was happening.

But how could I ever forget the first time I felt despair?

I was only a child then.

The 'day the sun fell', as they call it.

But to me, it is just the day my father died.

Every year, it gets brought up, understandably enough, since it was kind of a big deal.

Every yea...

109 It was fun

In the dark of the night, at the flat peak of a mountain, illuminated only by the faint burning light of a nearby forest fire, stand two men.

One man stands calmly, with his pink hair and long black cardigan blowing in the wind as he faces his foe with a taunting smile.

Opposed to him, a tall and muscled dark skinned man, with a mane of pale white hair and a face of simmering rage stands with electricity beginning to arc off of his skin.

These are, of course, Hanabira and A....
