Going Native: Feeling of the Bleed (ch. 60)

My brother was doing well for himself, I saw as I got an update about his empire. He was still expanding in Reach space for the most part, but Vegeta himself was now tearing through other kingdoms and empires that had declared war. It wouldn't be long before we shared a border, especially conside...

Going Native: Feeling of the Edge (ch. 59)

“What would we have to talk about?” John Stewart questioned, the tension in the room ramping up despite Hal’s best attempts to break it. Avery sent a message to her through her scouter, telling Shayera to wait it out while sending a set of coordinates to Rocky. The bio-android couldn’t hi...

Christmas Vacation from December 11th to 18th

To give everyone a heads up, I will be taking a vacation from December 11th to 18th. I figured going a little early would let me avoid the worst of the Christmas rush, thus lessening my chances to catch covid. As always, in that time there will be no updates for any of my stories, but I will be b...

Power Corrupts: Touching Base (ch. 57)

Winter was already proving to be a pain in the ass, I found as the mountain pass to Helgen was already snowed over. In about… a day since I left. We had caught the edge of the snow at Riften, but apparently, it had managed to snow about two feet in the mountains. The higher elevation and the fa...

Power Corrupts: Next Stop (ch. 56)

We ended up spending the night in Riften, despite me wanting to go ahead and hit the road. Now that our mutual problem was postponed until the Moot in a few months, staying in the same city as Ulfric Stormcloak seemed like an unwise idea. Regardless of the fact that we weren’t enemies, even if ...

Power Corrupts: Breaking Bread (ch. 55)

I don't think that had been a mistake, I thought to myself as I walked back to the tavern. There was a bit of time until the fated meeting between Ulfric Stormcloak and Nocturnal. And that was going to be a shit show, no matter how I looked at it. It was important to establish boundaries. Lines i...

See No Evil: Existential Questions (ch. 22)

I wasn't a religious person. Never had been. It just never really spoke to me. It was probably a trust thing, I reflected. It was hard for me to put faith in anything -- things, people, much less myself. And faith was a blind jump version of trust, which was already difficult for me to give out a...

See No Evil: Road Trip (ch. 21)

Unsurprisingly, the guy tried to rob us. It didn't go well for him. We were led to a sheet metal garage that had a few clunkers in it, none of which looked like they could start up, much less drive, and a half dozen people stepped out of the shadows.

Things spiraled from there.

I lean...

See No Evil: Deserves Another (ch. 20)

"How long has he been coming here?" I questioned Tifa, my body going into 'oh shit' mode and my mind racing a mile a minute. My knee jerk reaction was to start running -- that was Jason Todd. That was Robin. I was a criminal. Running was in my best interest, but I crushed that reaction. He wasn't...

Going Native: Feeling of Old Animosities (ch.58)

That was the wrong thing to say, I quickly learned, because the alien was really set off by that. A wordless scream of rage escaped his throat. His ring glowed an ominous red before a red beam of light raced towards me. I dodged effortlessly, sailing forward towards him to put an end to this figh...

Power Corrupts: Storm-Bound (ch. 54)

"I'm going to need either the Jarl or Maven-" I started, fishing for a hostage to bring back. The plan was to use them to convince Ulfric that Nocturnal was taking the offer to break bread seriously, and maybe have the hostage speak in favor of the idea. But, that was probably going to backfire o...

See No Evil: A Good Turn (ch.19)

It didn't feel real as I read the headlines. It was all over the news in Gotham, each outlet telling the same story. The Blackgaters, the kings of East End, had been toppled and it was now a race for the throne. Articles about the number of arrests made, articles praising the Bat-family and the p...

Going Native: Feeling of the Past (ch. 57)

Having a Nth metal mace opened up a lot of doors for Shayera, and not just because she was knocking them down. Outside of Thanagar, the metal was mythical to those that knew about it at all. And the Frieza-force, more specifically Tarble’s empire, most certainly knew about the metal. Some had t...

Power Corrupts: Clash of Giants (ch. 53)

"Are you heading down there alone?" Mjoll questioned as I was led to one of the many entrances to the underway. It looked like a sewer tunnel with a grate over it, one that had rusted away after years of being exposed to the sea. I glanced at her to find that she was frowning, not liking the idea...

"Oh, hell," Jim Gordon cursed as he saw the envelope marked with 'From a Concerned Citizen' with no return address that was delivered in his mailbox. The postal service would have destroyed any fingerprints on the outside, but the inside was still a possibility. Swallowing a sigh, he pulled out a...

Going Native: Feeling of the Unseen (ch. 56)

Fasha sighed, the sound nearly drowned out by the sounds of war. She hovered above a city, ready to throw herself into the mix if needed. Her kids, her army, were strong but so were their enemies. As much as Fasha would love throwing herself headfirst into the fight, she wasn't Tarble who could s...
