Riley came through the next day as promised I skipped school because I didn't feel like dealing with all of that and honestly I was pumped as hell to start using my new costume. Seriously, I'd put it on like six tim...

I headed back to school after my run in with Dinah. I considered texting her to keep her thinking of me, but I decided the better move was to wait for her to get angry with her boyfriend and text me, or at least to...
2022-04-04 22:37:16 +0000 UTC View PostWe both froze as we were getting up. Well, I froze, Jessie sort of stuttered, but still she was obviously shocked. I swallowed hard. "I get to meet Nightstrike? Also Nightstrike is fucking G rank? She's like my age!" Nightstrike was...well there's no real way to say it that does...

The system did not, of course, deign to answer any questions I asked it while driving to the coffee shop. Zack had begged off when he figured out where I was going, just tossing me the keys and informing me that I ...
2022-04-03 21:42:33 +0000 UTC View PostThe time after we found Verdant's body was kind of a blur. I'd done quite a few things since I got my powers. Going to the WCP, Vengiello's, and The Night Market. I'd begun to think of myself as a pretty worldly guy in most ways. Seeing that mutilated corpse brought that impress...

2022-04-02 23:10:52 +0000 UTC View PostPack Rat was shockingly quick at designing my gear. By the time I got out of the training room shower it was all ready for me to try out. I wasn't sure what kind of costume makers the other branches used but Pack Rat was aces at his job. He had me all wrapped up snug in perfectl...

I should clarify. When I say giant, I don't mean giant by the standards of a normal city. I mean giant like there was a fucking continent floating off in the distance. The sun was massive and shining white, the sky...

I'd been pretty excited to hit a local store and rack up some Greed Points, but I'd run into a slight problem. I didn't know how to rob pretty much anything. I knew, for instance, that everywhere in Metropolis had so...

It turned out most of us had heard of Beaker, or at least his accomplishments. The eccentric Enchanter had apparently c...
