Chapter 19 - I Spy

Gotham

After handling Artemis’ little gift, Miles started to gather enough evidence on Black Mask’s illegal activities to get him put away forever.

Then empty his bank accounts and every other source of wealth he possessed to remove his influence.

Which would start with the GCPD because Zalika had caught something interesting. She was following Roman through the CCTV while monitoring his phone calls and caught something really interesting.

For oper...

Chapter 24 - Joust

Storm’s End

8 BAC

“Let the joust begin!” Argilac shouted over the crowd gathered at the tourney grounds. He was sitting together with his new wife and queen, Selena, and his daughter, Argella, who looked bored out of her mind, watching the proceedings blankly.

Argilac decided to let her be, thinking she wasn’t interested in the event.

—

Ei was going to participate in the tournament.

Under the guise of Carn, due to...

Chapter 21 - Shepard vs Cuttlefish

Noveria

Peak 15

Leaving the Rachni corpse aside with many questions on their minds, the team moved to find and activate the generator, get a situation report from the VI, and find out what the hell happened here.

They came across one more Rachni soldier on the path to the generator room, as well as several of the smaller bugs inside the room itself, which were dispatched quickly.

“Shepard, that is a backup power system for the statio...

Chapter 20 - Noveria

Chapter 35 - Surprise

Valyria

Tyrion’s search was in vain. Either the fleet had sunk entirely, or there was nothing left of them at all.

Even with the help of Slifer, he couldn’t find any remnants and gave up to go and continue his work in pillaging the wealth of Valyria, which lifted his mood.

Here he was, a Westerosi, taking all the wealth and secrets of Valyria in the name of his lord.

The Dragonlords of old must be screaming in the afterlife.

“My lord, we fo...

Chapter 34 - Squids, Falcons, Trouts and Wolves

Valyria

Robert, along with Davos, Tyrion, and Sandor, stood in the armory of a Valyrian family. Rows of Valyrian steel swords, axes, spears, halberds, arrows, and sets of armor stood before them, a fortune that even the richest of nobles, whether in Westeros or the Free Cities, could boast to have.

“Gentlemen, pick armor and weapons for yourselves.” Robert offered. 

Loyalty was to be rewarded after all.

“Thank you, but I don’t think they h...

Chapter 18 - Back to Gotham

Vega System

Claire whistled, really impressed and more than a bit scared.

Citadel Homeworld was surrounded by a ring of asteroids that had been turned into fortresses, offering an impressive amount of defense for the planet.

Larfleeze had smashed through everything, turning the fortresses and the ships into wrecks floating freely in the vacuum, and the planet was burning right now.

Hro and Shayera were monitoring Larfleeze through the sensors and long-...

Chapter 17 - Agent Orange

Watchtower

The Javelin docked in the hangar of the Watchtower, and Claire followed Miles out to go and find Hawkgirl.

His reason?

To help Thanagar win their war against the Gordonians.

Claire had a suspicion it wasn’t for purely altruistic reasons.

The said alien woman was in the training room, turning metal training posts to scrap with her Nth metal mace. Miles decided not to interrupt the heroine’s training, and the two sat down in the obse...

Chapter 23 - Wedding and Tourney

Storm’s End

8 BAC

King Argilac was finally getting married to Lady Selena Caron. After the exchange of wedding vows in the small sept of Storm’s End, nobles of the kingdom were celebrating within the Round Hall, enjoying the grand feast.

It has been delayed due to Princess Argella’s work in Parchments, but the previous experience earned in Weeping Town has made the construction proceed quicker. Lord Lucan was very pleased to have a coa...

Chapter 22 - Growing Fame

Dorne

Sunspear

“She did what now?” Meria Martell, unaffectionately called the Yellow Toad of Dorne due to her appearance, leaned forward, giving her full attention to Lord Wyl.

“Caught a crossbow bolt in the air and saved her grandfather, Lucan Penrose, from death.” Wyl of Wyl, also called the Widow-lover, repeated his previous sentence. 

“Is that even possible?” The Princess of Dorne could wage wars, but figh...

Chapter 19 - Asteroid X57

Chapter 33 - Riches of Robert

Valyria

Close to a month after he had burned down the fleet of Volantis, with several more ships belonging to different Free Cities appearing on the horizon every day but none daring to approach, he finally saw Asgard’s small fleet.

He waited at the docks, which, owing to the way the Dragonlords constructed them, meant they were still in condition to be serviceable. The fleet grew ever closer, and he could count at least forty ships, which meant Tyrion had to ha...

Chapter 16 - Fury of a Woman Scorned

Metropolis

Miles closed the door behind him, hung his coat and hat, and walked to the living room, where Claire and the teens were watching TV while eating pizza.

“Hey, how did it go with the Feds?” Claire asked after swallowing her bite with some soda.

“Nothing to worry about; it was just the FBI. How about you three?” This wasn't his first tango with the federal authorities, and most likely wouldn't be the last.

“They picked their rooms, an...

Chapter 21 - Parchments

Storm Kingdom

Storm’s End

9 BAC

Ei read the letter she had received from the Citadel and wasn’t impressed at all.

“To Argella Durrandon, Crown Princess of the Storm Kingdom,

We have watched with trepidation as your machines created wonders for your kingdom, and as the sole center of knowledge in the entirety of the Seven Kingdoms, the Citadel seeks to add your valuable machines to our library, ...
