Gone Native: Settling In (ch. 34)

Kara's expression was twisted into a ferocious snarl, her hands clenched into white knuckled fists while a silent war cry spilled from her lips. In a burst of speed, she threw herself at me, her red cape fluttering behind her, a fist raised high to bring it down on me. I watched her carefully, quickly noticing the subtle changes in her form since the last time we fought. It seemed that she had learned a few lessons.

In response, I took in a slow breath and drew upon the power in my bloo...

Gone Native: Enemy Action (ch. 33)

"I thought you hated aliens," Ra's al Ghul remarked to Lex Luthor, lounging in one of the chairs in Lex's office. He was the acting Secretary-General of the New United Nations. Though, they weren't really nations anymore, and they were hardly united. They all had their own agendas, wanting their nation to be the one that had the greatest say in humanity's fate. Lex Luthor was letting them indulge in those childish fantasies. It made them so very easy to manipulate, more so considering that th...

Gone Native: Manifest Destiny (ch. 32)

"I'm impressed," Ada'la remarked as I stepped into what amounted to my throne room back on Earth. She wore a slight smile on her face as she regarded me, "I expected you to return from the Vega system engaged with either Queen Komand'r or Co-Queen Koriand'r. Perhaps both, even." she said as I strode towards my throne, swallowing a sigh as I sat heavily upon it.

In real-time, it had only been a few days since we all left for the Vega system. For me and the Titans, it had been about a two...

Gone Native: Resolution (ch. 31)

There was rejoicing when Komand'r made the announcement that Koriand'r would be her co-ruler. The Tamaranian people felt like they got what they wanted -- a populist leader that would give them what they were demanding. The fact that Koriand'r was just a figurehead was known only to us and the Teen Titans. It was about as perfect a solution as there could be, given the circumstances. The distaste for Komand'r ran deep and Koriand'r's influence would soothe over her more controversial decision...

See No Evil: Mortality (ch. 78)

"You're looking…better," Barbara Gordon greeted me, standing next to my hospital bed. She eyed my face, at least the part of it that wasn't covered by bandages, and saw purple and yellow flesh. Only one of my eyes was uncovered, letting me see she and her father as they stood at the end of my bed. He watched me carefully, cautiously. I'd call James Gordon an asshole for still treating me like a coiled snake about to bite, but it was kinda hard when he was right to.

"Make this quick," ...

See No Evil: The Long Con (ch. 77)

Barbara felt like she had whiplash despite sitting at her computer for the past two hours, completely bombarded with headlines, articles, and one of the single most damning videos that she had ever seen. "It doesn't seem doctored, but that doesn't mean that it's not," Barbara told Dick as the entire world got another punch to the gut. One that they really couldn't afford with so much at stake. It had been something that the entire world had halfway expected, but the sheer scope of it was unim...

See No Evil: Starting Line (ch. 76)

"It's a very rare thing for one of my children to achieve greatness on their own, I am sad to say," Vandal Savage remarked as we watched the mushroom cloud spread up and out, acting as a gravestone to Infinity Island and Ra's Al Ghul. I watched him die. No last minute fakeouts, or pulling a disappearing act, or teleporting out at the last second. The blast claimed him, obliterating every cell in his body. He was dead. For good.

One less thing to worry about. Only about a billion left. 2022-03-02 16:03:53 +0000 UTC View Post

See No Evil: Round 2 (ch. 75)

"Revy? I need your help," I said, reaching out to her through my contacts. "Cassandra's been kidnapped by the League of Shadows." I told her, my voice decidedly calm. Perfectly even. It didn't at all reflect how I felt inside. My thoughts were tainted red by an all consuming rage that refused to be restrained. Like a pot that had boiled over. Red hot anger surged through my veins… I could only compare it to how I felt when I realized that the Joker had taken Jack.

All consuming wrath ...

Announcement: No updates between the 4th-11th

Some of you might not have noticed that I didn't take off between the 18th-25th like I said I would. Things changed and the reason why I was taking the week off got pushed back until the 4th-11th. Sorry about the late notice, but I only found out today. 

So, no updates between the 4th-11th.

Gone Native: Common Enemy (ch. 30)

In hindsight, I could admit to myself that this conclusion was blatantly obvious as a starbolt just barely missed my head and slammed into the dark orange, wind sheared stone, sending up a cloud of dust behind me. Things had started off decently enough. We arrived at the Pillars of Reconciliation. A sacred place amongst the Tamaranian people where disputes had been settled for generations.

The terrain was unique -- for as far as the eye could see, great pillars of orange rock stood tall...

Fool's World: The Tower (ch. 20)

The world ran off of irony. It was hardly a secret when you knew what to look for and lived long enough. I wasn't sure if it was the machinations of Alaya or just human nature, but the world was filled to the absolute brim with little ironic twists of fate that unceremoniously fucked over people's hopes and dreams. It could be something simple -- a photo of a group of friends getting smashed celebrating their last hurrah before they all go their separate ways in life, only for that photo to b...

Fool's World: Death (ch. 19)

The Majima and Emiya families were proving to be maddeningly carefree with their lives and safety. "This is an unwise course of action. Regardless of your pity for her, Illyasviel von Einzbern has proven her ill intent towards you. She's already attacked you once and you were only spared from death because she wanted you to watch the people that you love murdered before your eyes." The words hurt to say, but she said them all the same.

In the last Grail War, she hadn't seen much of Illy...

Fool's World: The Star (ch. 18)

"What do you mean he just left with the Yakuza?!" Nobara heard Rin shout as she was getting dressed after a very long night. Her entire body was sore in a way that she never experienced before, but it was a pleasant soreness. Like she had just gotten a great workout and after the aches in her muscles faded, she would be better than ever. Though, when Rin's shouts reached her ears, Nobara froze.

That fucking idiot! It was like Majima wouldn't be satisfied until he got himself ki...

"We have a notice from Concerned Citizen," Barbara informed the Team, catching Jason's attention as he lowered his gloved fists, prompting Dick to do the same. They were in the training area of the Mountain, doing group workouts for the first time in what felt like forever. Something they were able to do thanks to Vergil pulling about a dozen teams of super heroes out of his ass and sending them out everywhere that was affiliated with the UN.

And, through Concerned Citizen, Vergil had a...

Risk It All: House Always Wins (ch. 35)

Prestige had become a lot more valuable. At least twice as valuable as it used to be, really. It was also harder to get on account that most people had far greater concerns than watching tutorial videos or looking at pictures of hot guys on the internet.

That, in turn, made my gambling mechanic a lot more important.
