I know, right? I wake up and see 39 notifications, and most of them are Winged One rating posts I had almost forgotten about. I'm guesstimating two weeks, assuming the level of ratings per day remains constant.

Once he breaks Page 900, I'm going to Alert him with a post linking to the Story Only thread.
Edit: You know what? I'll be lazy. Story Thread has an alternate representation of @QueenOfFables due to it being a retelling.

If I were looking to inform, I'd have done it already. I'm more of a 'petty evil' sort of guy.

The One Above All.
So I think or I hope that if Paul meets Odin he would volunteer to have a similar arrangement with Odin that Krieger has, Asgardian support in exchange for testing out spells or weapons/tech that would give the Aesir a leg up over the Jotuns(Ice Giants). Don't know what kind of organization or manpower Krieger has on what Odin wants. Would he farm things out to The Light? Or would he keep it close to home in a Nazi/Viking pact sort of deal?
Paul does have magical researchers he can call on. Plus.... would Odin be cool with having whatever god or gods he has working on Asgardian weapons collaborating with Hephaestus if Paul can get him onboard, or is that a no go as Hephaestus is a god from a different pantheon?

After a little catching up- So Fate doesn't have his flying brick powers in addition to his magic in this fic, that'll make handling him easier.
Although since his wife got mentioned I can't help but wonder if Hector Hall is going to be reincarnated and be the new Doctor Fate ala the comics.
I suspect he won't be soulless in this fic, if he shows up at all, since Zoat made that such a big deal about not having a soul, plus I was never really clear on how a guy with no soul had such a very active afterlife- I mean dream ghost and then reincarnation.
Oh I was a bit disappointed by Paul's lack of interest in vampirism.
I mean obviously it has some kinks to work out, but it not only provide physical enhancement but adds telepathic and shapeshifting powers, I'd say that warrants sending a vial to Nyssa to see what she can do with it alchemically.
I was surprised that Paul didn't mention the idea of franchising such as Justice League Europe and what not, I guess Zoat wasn't much of a fan of that team.

I think it just doesn't make sense for this setting. It's just "The Justice League", no 'of America' bit at the end. Making a separate League, that would inevitably end up using many of the original League's resources, expertise, and contacts, and frequently doing joint missions with the League, would make it redundant compared to just adding those people to the existing League and putting a bit more focus on Europe.I was surprised that Paul didn't mention the idea of franchising such as Justice League Europe and what not, I guess Zoat wasn't much of a fan of that team.

Kon glances at me, then returns his attention to the fore as we head down the passageway leading to the training room. "Still can't believe you just stumper-rushed me."
I snort, causing Wolf to stare up at me in surprise from her position next to Kon. "Still can't believe you're still going on about that."
A particularly sweet victory in Human Resources last night. Usually, Stumpers are just used as caltrops, slowing enemy melee units as they charge in. But if you get enough of them, you can slow resource gathering units as well. I scouted early, noticed that he didn't have the prerequisites for their natural counter -Fire Vampires- and thought I'd go for it. I ended up reducing the speed of every unit he had to practically nothing, giving me plenty of time to build up my main attack and giving me more shooting time per engagement before his melee units could close the distance.
"Do you think we could have a game later?" M'gann smiles with what must be affected innocence. "Conner's been showing me how it works, but I'm sure there are plenty of things I'm missing."
Not exactly Korean-level myself… "Of course. I'd be delighted."
"What do you think Batman has planned for us today?"
"Maybe that Haraldson guy wants a rematch?" Kon rolls his shoulders. "We can find out exactly how invulnerable Odin made him."
"Kon, he's had centuries of experience with a sword."
He shrugs. "Did okay last time."
"Last time he'd just had an arrow in his eye."
"Do people come back from the dead a lot on Earth?" Kon and I both look at M'gann. "I mean, there were dead people from Hell in Fawcett City, Paul.. went to the Amazon afterlife to talk to some people, now we've got dead Vikings from Valhalla staying in the Watchtower. I don't think that's ever happened on Mars."
Um… "It's been a bit of a statistical anomaly, but there are established ways of communicating with the dead. Isss… There someone you want to talk to?"
"No… I've just been thinking…" She frowns. "What if there is a way on Mars and people just don't know about it? That could be huge."
"It's pretty huge on Earth. People just don't use magic enough-."
Kon suddenly looks at her. "Are you talking about that Burning Martian?"
"Well…"
"Um?"
Kon and M'gann look at each other, then M'gann turns to me. "All Martians are telepathic. I know that we used to be… Like that. We've got spring break coming up and I was planning on visiting home…"
Kon nods sympathetically. "She's been worried someone might pick up on it."
"How big a problem would it be?"
"Finding out that we're a race of brainwashed monsters? Finding out that the divide between White, Green and Red is just how brainwashed we are?" She looks helpless. "I don't know. But it's just a question of how bad. I can't think how anyone finding out could be good at all."
"I.. have to admit, I'd be in favour of releasing the information. Even if it causes short term disruption, I think it would be better for Martians to know their origins. Might do something to overcome the racism if they had the idea that there's basically no difference reinforced."
Kon doesn't look convinced. "That's a bit optimistic. Martians are in telepathic contact with each other all the time, right?" M'gann nods. "Are they, like, empathic? I mean, if one Martian feels something do the other Martians just know, or do they start to feel it too?"
"We're not… If Uncle J'onn was feeling something, that wouldn't make me feel it, but I might just because it's there?" She looks away. "I'm.. probably not explaining it very well."
"Could you keep up a mental barrier, tell everyone that you knew state secrets you weren't allowed to share?"
She doesn't appear to like the idea. "Maybe?"
"…father was an American citizen." Kaldur and Raquel are already here, talking about something while the others watch Wallace trying to take on Beryl at holographic table tennis. Teekl's trying to decide whether to pounce after the ball or not. "But I do not consider the color of my skin to be a significant part of my character." He shrugs. "My mother has blonde hair and fair skin. I grew up in Poseidonis and not in Florida as my father did. Why should I relate to his ethnicity rather than hers?"
"I... Guess."
Kaldur nods. "In Atlantis, the fact that one of my parents was born outside Atlantis would be considered far more significant than his ethnicity."
She looks at him sceptically. "So, what? Atlantis doesn't have racism?"
"The nearest equivalent would be distaste some Purebloods have for people like myself who have-" He tilts his head slightly to the left, drawing attention to his gill slits. "-non Human physical characteristics. However, Orm's Purebloodist supporters were mostly captured after his defeat, and those who remain are wise enough to remain silent about their affiliation."
"But isn't everyone in Atlantis… Ah, altered? Anyway?"
Kaldur smiles faintly. "Now perhaps you understand my confusion regarding surface world racial-"
"Recognised, Batman, zero two."
"-politics." Kaldur looks around to the zeta tube as the holographic game is deactivated, taking the centre point as my team mates and I begin to form up.
Batman stops just in front of us, pausing to briefly look us over. "At eleven thirty Eastern Standard Time the remains of the Einherjar being stored on the Watchtower reanimated." Most of us knew that, but I suppose Beryl or Rob might not have heard yet. "According to our experts-" Oh, did Nabu stop sulking eventually then? "-this almost certainly means that Wolf Krieger-" A group of holographic images of the man appears showing him as he looked back in World War Two as well as more recent images, most notably the one I took of how he looks without a mask these days. "-and his brother Albrecht-" Not that any of us could forget what Captain Nazi looks like. "-have returned to Earth."
Kaldur nods. "And what of Klarion?"
"We don't know. Preparations are being made-" By Nabu? Good luck. "-for that eventuality, but since there is no record of them cooperating before we are currently operating on the assumption that they are most likely not still together."
"We're-!" Wallace's mind catches up with his mouth. "Not being sent after him, are we?"
"If we knew their location, it would be a matter for the League. Since we do not, there is an opportunity for the team to act in an information gathering capacity."
"So while Oh El does that in three seconds, what are the rest of us doing?"
"I can't get information a priori, Kid Flash. And I doubt very much that a man of Wolf Krieger's age would have uploaded his itinerary to his LinkedIn account."
"With the help of Marshall Haraldson, we have compiled a list of addresses used by the Kriegers and their associates." A map of the world appears, with… Far too many locations for us to monitor each of them. "Your task will be to monitor them and anyone using them in an attempt to learn either the Kriegers' location or their future plans. Precisely which locations you focus your efforts on and who is assigned to each location is a decision for the team."
Kaldur nods. "We will decide swiftly."
Batman inclines his head slightly. "Should you get a definite lead, contact a member of the Justice League." He tries making eye contact with each of us, but it's a bit hard to make us feel worried about someone we already beat. "One last thing. Since you elected to approve his membership-"
"Recognised, Canis Minor, B one seven, Beton Brut, C zero six."
"-Canis Minor will be joining you."

Oh someone refresh my memory, was it mentioned where Queen Mera is from?
In the comics she's from an extradimensional penal colony of Atlanteans sent to "Dimension Aqua."
Not that it matters greatly, but I would think they're be some misgivings about the king marrying a woman whose ancestors apparently did something so horrific that the Atlanteans were no longer willing to share a universe with them.
Or maybe I'm giving the ancient Atlanteans too much credit. For all we know it could have been like "Using your salad fork for the main entree? To dimension Aqua with you!"

Yeah, it could be, except Dynamite doesn't really look like clay. C4 does. So unless the one who exploded him explained how he made the dynamite before killing him, then it doesn't sound all that plausible.

Thank you, corrected.
It wasn't. Assume some unnamed Atlantean city, then spent most of her adult life in Poseidonis.
