Storm Kingdom

Storm's End

Night

20 BAC

Argilac Durrandon was worried about the storm raging outside his keep. Usually, this wouldn't be anything out of the ordinary. He had seen many storms in his life and even heard of a typhoon capable of flying a wooden ship as if it were a toy in the hands of a child.

He had never seen purple lightning, though, which made it even weirder because the storm app...

ME2 17 - Rescue, Revenge, Reconciliaton

Illium

Miranda’s father, or rather genetic donor, Henry Lawson, was a certified dirtbag. Not only did he create Miranda and her genetic twin for his perfect dynasty, but he was also knee-deep in crime.

Shepard would bring down Henry Lawson, but for now, there were more important matters.

The location of Miranda’s sister was discovered by their father.

Miranda had made arrangements to have her sister and her adopted family moved out of Illium with t...

ME 2 16 - Tuchanka Woes

Aralakh System

Tuchanka

After the dreadnought was handed over to the Citadel research teams and escorted to a secure research facility by a fleet of mixed ships, Shepard decided to head to Tuchanka.

Grunt, since he was tank-grown, was going through a delayed rite of passage, a biological drive that all krogan experienced when they came of age.

Krogan teenage phase, in other words.

One of Mordin’s old teammates had also gotten l...

Chapter 56 - Asgard's Growth

Stepstones

Robert groaned.

He hated how long this journey was taking. They barely made it to the Stepstones, and he was at his wit's end. 

A canal was definitely necessary, especially for trade, since the Ironborn wouldn’t be around for much longer.

Even the usually pirate-infested islands were clear, and he didn’t have a place to vent his boredom. 

Still, Robert at least had his flight suit.

Unhooking himself from the saddle,...

Chapter 55 - To War

Asgard

Robert whistled.

Wun Weg Wun, having cleaned up and donned his new Valyrian steel armor, looked imposing. Twelve feet of muscle encased in armor indestructible by the current metallurgy of this world, with an eight-foot-long club and a tower shield if necessary, the giant was a walking tank.

“I hope it is to your liking, my lord. I have considered embellishing the armor, but time was short.” Tobho’s exhaustion was clear.

Robert didn’t mi...

Chapter 41 - Dakota City

Watchtower

It was three days after Aresia was arrested that Batman woke up. Doctor Fate had kept him in a coma to accelerate his healing, as the Dark Knight wasn’t known for taking time to rest.

“Hey there, sunshine. Good morning.” Flash grinned at Batman, who quickly tried to rise from the bed, only for several hands to stop him.

“What happened?” Bruce asked, laying back down. His mask was on, but the rest of the costume had been taken off, and he...

Chapter 46 - Cherry Blossoms of Peace

ME2 15 - Shepard the Miracle Healer?!

Omega

Afterlife

With the dreadnought secure, Shepard’s first order of business was to assist Samara in catching her fugitive, who turned out to be her daughter.

Morinth and her sisters were apparently suffering from a rare asari genetic condition called Ardat-Yakshi, Demon of the Night Winds. Their constitution allowed Ardat-Yakshi to overpower their mate’s nervous system during mating, causing hemorrhaging in the victim’s brain, killi...

Chapter 54 - Great to Be Back Home

Asgard

Robert took a deep breath, his nostrils flaring wide open to get as much air as he could before exhaling slowly.

“What the fuck happened to my dragon?” He asked through gritted teeth. Three weeks of marching, buying supplies, and showing up to Rhaegar—that was fun as always—and they had finally reached home.

When he entered the city with his host of races once thought to be myths and legends, the lord of Asgard did not expect to be greeted wit...

Chapter 40 - Fallen Knight

Metropolis

Having nothing to do while waiting for Thomas to deliver the satellite and the supercomputer, Miles was working on expanding his network when a call came, urgently summoning him to the Watchtower.

Watchtower

“What happened?” He asked, and Superman pointed to a screen where Batman, covered in bruises with both arms in a cast and a neck brace, was being tended to by the Martian Manhunter.

“Batman is in a coma. ...

Chapter 39 - Games

Jump City

In the interest of finishing off the cult supporters entirely, Miles and Claire were back in Jump City, on the trail of the wealthy elite, who had gone missing for some reason. But their next steps were obvious.

With arrest warrants on their heads, the millionaires had no choice but to make it to a country that doesn’t have an extradition treaty with the USA, and that required fake documents.

Moving between states would pose a risk, so they would...

ME2 Chapter 14 - Penumbra Apex

The Collector Dreadnought

“Resistance is futile. Abandon hope and surrender yourselves.” Harbinger demanded through the vessel it was possessing. Its laser cannon had just carved a deep line into the stony walls of the room, and the Reaper was now firing enormous biotic attacks, each chipping their covers away.

“You made a beefed-up clone of me to defeat me. I don’t think I have anything to worry about.” Shepard peeked out of the corner he was taking cov...

ME2 Chapter 13 - The Twilight of the Collectors

Normandy

“Shepard, there is a problem.” The Illusive Man was smoking as always when he called Shepard to report a situation.

Shepard crossed his arms, annoyed. “Did your scientist screw up again?” 

“It’s not us; it’s the Omega. The station is face-to-face with this.” TIM ignored Shepard spewing facts and pressed some buttons, and the image of a ship, a dreadnought, similar in build to the Collector cruiser but one and a half times larger...

Chapter 53 - War Preparations

Asgard

Tyrion and Davos were inside the solar, working to return the city to order after the scare of the failed Ironborn attack. Slifer, who had returned just in time, had done so to carry the letter sent by Robert to Tyrion.

“What does Lord Robert say?” Davos still didn’t know how to read properly, and his lessons had been on hold for some time now.

Tyrion sighed, looking far older than his age would suggest, and it wasn’t because of the Ironborn. ...

Chapter 52 - Dragonbinder

Winterfell

It had taken Robert, his small host of giants, the Children of the Forest, several females, and Sandor a week to reach Winterfell. Following the breakdown of the relations between House Stark and House Baratheon, it would be unthinkable for a Baratheon to be in Winterfell, unless it was for royal reasons.

Or to display the Other to the Starks.

“Rick, old man, how is it going?” Robert asked. Obelisk was perched on top of the walls, and he looke...

Chapter 38 - Barbecue and Clubhouse Meeting

Metropolis

Beckett Residence

“What are we doing now?” Claire handed over a bottle of pomegranate molasses to Miles, having been chosen as the kitchen assistant.

“Barbecue.” Miles took the bottle, pouring it into a dish with some other ingredients.

She held out the chopped black garlic. “Why?”

“Exhaustion doesn’t come crashing down on you like a sledgehammer but worms its way in like a parasite. I learned that in H...

Chapter 43 - Divine Retribution

ME2 Chapter 12 - Shepard the Gunnery Chief

Illium

Pitne For, a volus merchant in trouble, had directed them to Detective Anaya, who was awfully anxious to get Samara out of Illium, fearing her code would lead to a cross-species incident, and was very helpful to Shepard and his team in that regard.

Clearing out the mercs in there after entering the crime scene Anaya had directed them to was a simple job, and the first sign of the justicar was an asari Eclipse merc flying at them, followed by another one thr...

Chapter 51 - High Chief

Lands Beyond the Wall

The Haunted Forest

When Valyrian steel met the crystal armor of the Other, a sound akin to a chime rang out, and the Other was sent stumbling when Robert’s punch left cracks in her helmet.

Pressing his advantage, Robert threw a left haymaker, a right uppercut, a kick to the side of her left knee, and one to the face when the Other lost her balance, sending her to the ground.

“Is that all? Really? How disappoin...

Chapter 37 - Trigon

Jump City

Arrival

“We are missing some of the women.” Question counted the rescued females and came up short compared to the number he had gathered.

Had they missed some? Or were they not brought to Jump City yet? “Superman, can you check with your vision to see if there are any hidden alcoves?” Miles requested. The building plan was detailed, but you could not be sure with anything when it comes to a cult.

“Give me a second....

Chapter 42 - Battle of the Gods

Chapter 50 - Big Surprises

The Lands Beyond the Wall

The morning had come, and with it, the search for the cave. With aerial advantage, and his knowledge, it was easy to triangulate the location, somewhere between the Fist of the First Men, the Antler River, and Craster’s Keep.

Closer to the Antler River, they finally found a cave, the only one in fact, opening in a hillside.

“Alright, we can’t take the dragons in, so it will just be the two of us.”

“Is there anything ...

ME2 Chapter 11 - Illium, The Gleaming Omega

Horizon

“Kaidan, Ashley, stop talking out of your asses. I have a job to do, and I’ll deal with Cerberus after the Collectors.”

—-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Horizon was a smashing success, but problems to solve were never over with, Shepard. 

Admiral Hackett had contacted him, saying a friend of his, Dr. Amanda Kenson, had discovered evidence of an imminent R...

Chapter 49 - Cleaning

White Harbor

Properly rested, restocked, and dressed, Robert left the smallest of the six major cities two days after he had arrived. He had discussed business with Lord Wylis during his stay in White Harbor, promising to continue his purchase of timber from House Manderly.

His next target was Dreadfort, not to sample the hospitality of a house with a flayed man as a sigil, but to deal with Roose Bolton. The lord’s crimes were numerous, not in the least raping t...

Chapter 36 - Arrival

Jump City

Raven was a couple of years younger than she was in Teen Titans but otherwise looked much the same.

“I won’t ask again. How do you know about me? Who are you working for?” The young girl was haggard, most likely due to being chased by the cult, and it showed in her demeanor. Rather than the dispassionate look she carried, Raven looked irritated.

Not good.

Miles didn’t let it deter him from talking the girl down. “I am working with t...
