“Rude,” Xander said pointedly to the bare chested man, casually brushing himself off. “How does the Bat keep all the dust off him when he does this?”
“I asked you a question,” The Parahuman said.
Xander sighed, “The name is Magus, if you must. Yourself?” 2023-07-19 02:55:19 +0000 UTC View Post

Xander loved the freedom that superhero worlds offered, the ability to fly in the open without obliviators and the Pride or some idiot Aurors chasing him down was liberatingin a way very few could ever truly understand. Even among Wizards, those upstanding

Taylor sighed as she slumped onto the couch, the hospital had finally allowed her father to sign her out of their care, leaving her the luxury of her own home in which to consider what she’d been told. The idea of being a Cape was seductive, the cu...

PRT HQ, Brockton Bay
Emily Piggot eyed the pair across from her with a firm gaze that masked her curiosity. Armsmaster had an odd look in his eye that she’d come to associate with him being lost in some idea for a new Tinker project, whil...

“Complete fugue state?” Magus asked, looking Militia’s way.
Hanna sighed, but nodded, “Unfortunately yes.”
“I zoned out?” Chris asked, looking disappointed in himself. “I hate it when that happens.”

Armsmaster found himself at a loss, not only for words… that was common enough, as much as it irritated him to admit, but for ideas. That… that didn’t happen. If what Magus was saying was true, the device the other man had just built was quite possibly the proverbial ho...

Xander was having a hard time not bursting out in laughter.
The look on Miss Militia’s face told the story as far as he was concerned. This Armsmaster fellow clearly had issues when it came to dealing with people. Miss Militia’s attempts at deflecting him from inadv...

Emily snuck a glance at Armsmaster, hiding her amusement as she registered his reaction to Magus’ words.
Even the implication that his equipment was in any way lacking in efficiency was enough to clearly set the man on edge, at least to those who knew him well enough, so she wasn...

The guards were clearly expecting him as he arrived from the air, having taken the time to get a proper address this time and using the GPS on his cheap phone to direct himself to the location.

Taylor looked up as the door opened, her eyes widened as she recognized the Cape from the night before as he stepped in. He glanced her over briefly before looking over to her father and smiling pleasantly.
“Ah, Mr Hebert, a pleasure to see you again.”

Emily Piggot was fuming, what she’d learned about the issues at Winslow were beyond the pale… though, honestly, she was so inured to the depths of depravity people could sink to that it only just tipped the needle in her case. That, of course, was no small feat ...

Xander had once again spent the night, what remained of it, out on the old tanker that was blocking the mouth of the bay. A few wards setup around the perimeter had given him some measure of comfort, and he added a few more splashes of comfort to the place, including tearing out an ol...

Danny surged into the hospital room, eyes searching for her daughter. He found her, lying in the bed where she was supposed to be, no sign of any additional injuries from the destroyed machine beside her.

QA did not know who the interloper was, but it spoke in the language of the Host Species and apparently had some significant command of the Quantum Foam Matrix that underlay the construction of realities. Beyond that, the interloper was a mystery and seemed intent on staying one.

That was the closest translation of the shard’s name/function that could be made in the language of the current cycle’s host species. There were many Administrator Shards, of course, each tasked with overseeing various aspects of the cycle or the shards ...

It was dark.
Taylor didn’t remember how she got home, but she curled up in the blankets as she closed her eyes again and tried to ignore the sound of a truck backing up in the distance. The beeping was annoying, but she expected it would stop shortly.
It didn’t.

Battery sighed, for the… well she lost track of how many times she’d done that, actually.
