Lucas crouched down beside the fat man’s body and started searching him.
After a few seconds, he found a strange marking behind the man’s ear—something that looked more like a symbol than a tattoo.
“This guy’s a ghoul,” Lucas muttered.
“Ghoul?” the others echoed, confused.
Lucas glanced up. “Yeah. Humans who want to become vampires. They work for them—guard their lairs, deliver victims, clean up their messes—hopi...

Reporting patients’ movements wasn’t part of his official duties, but he certainly didn’t mind making a little extra on the side.
After all, from the Continental’s point of view, the only clients who truly deserved confidentiality were those who paid in gold coins.

With a sigh, he slipped back into his Tinkerer persona and reopened the door he’d just locked.
Standing there was a small, panicked young mother holding a wailing baby. Her skin was dark — unmistakably Black — but she was petite, far smaller than the average woman of her community. It made Henry wonder if she had even...

Diana’s voice was calm, but there was an edge beneath the softness — the kind of tone that warned of sharpened steel behind the velvet. Her eyes, cool and intelligent, locked onto Bruce Wayne’s with the quiet certainty of someone who already knew the answer, but wanted to hear it from his own lips.

Lucas raised an eyebrow. “You know her?”
Matt shook his head. “Not personally. But I’ve heard of her. The Black Widow of the Red Room—a double agent. My advice? Stay clear of people like that.” 2025-10-20 15:57:35 +0000 UTC View Post
