Now that you are reposting the whole thing you could replace the time you wrote things phonetically.
Like that.

He won't.
Why did you have to remind me that that was a thing?

For the longest time I wondered why KF called Kon (El) Oh (El). I also didn't really get the separation between the Renegade and Paragon bits until an embarrisingly long time into the story. Like past the Ophidian arc.

Oh yeah. My mother lived in England back during the Mad Cow epidemic, and ate beef, so she's kinda on the "Do not donate blood" list. If they can't be certain it's safe....
My first thought on reading this was that we shouldn't eat your mom.

Does it? Do you have source on that?
There is a joke here. I will not make it because I have class.
Not enough class not to point it out, but there you go.

Discussed a few pages ago, currently they're not accepting new ones since this is still a trial-run. In the future.

Huh, wonder why there is a thing that says there's space for more at the bottom...and maybe we should make one in preparation.

You poor man...Read the thread
And judging by Paul's internal thoughts on seeing Joker during the plant thing (Paul: Is that suppose to be the Joker?), he probably saw DCAU Joker, the one that came down with a fatal case of "Notice me, senpai!"

DCAU Joker, Comic Joker, Heath Ledger Joker... any can be compared to YJ Joker and inspire disappointment in the latter.
Well there is a mental image I'll never be able to get rid of.

Not sure
Give me a moment
This is getting old…
I push myself up off the gritty ground and check myself over. No new holes this time. Progress of a sort. Ring? Check. Father Box? Nnnnnot check. Huh. "Ring, where are we?"
Corpsman, this system is not on my charts.
Oh dear. Then again, I did just voluntarily leave the Earth. My cause was just, but if Gaea didn't count coming to Earth 50 as 'leaving Earth voluntarily' then this will certainly set it off. Irritating, but hardly disastrous. Okay. No Father Box means no boom tube until I can build one. Building one with a power ring and personal lantern is more a matter of time than…
Wait a moment. Not on your charts?
No one is more surprised than me, Corpsman. I had believed the Guardians' charts to be exhaustive.
Okay. What are the chances of us finding somewhere interesting by jumping from system to system?
If by 'interesting' you mean 'in contact with wider interstellar society', and given that you are immortal in the sense that you do not age, it is a guarantee that we would eventually reach 'somewhere interesting'. If you mean 'within a reasonable time span' it is impossible to say. I nod and keep looking around. Assuming a random distribution of inhabited systems and your intent to return to Earth in time to orchestrate the fall of SHADE, fairly low.
Alright, how about finding Father Box?
You'll have to do better than that if you want any sort of range, Corpsman.
He was attached to my armour. If he isn't right here someone removed him. Presumably, whoever… No tracks… You don't think we're inside the Source Wall, do you?
I lost external awareness when you lost consciousness. However, given the apparent normalcy of the physical laws it seems unlikely.
Glad to hear it. Now, up into orbit for a quick survey, then we can-.
BOOM!
Or not. I armour myself as I reorientate on the boom tube opening. Not just going to charge at it. Best case… Scott? Worst case, Grayven 50. Uh, no, worst case Darkseid 50.
Please don't be Darkseid 50.
A figure steps-. "Ah! Barda!" I bring my left hand up to cover the lower part of my jaw. "How are the children?"
"Scott's working on them." She's wearing her armour, Mega Rod in one hand, Father Box in the other. I don't like how close those two objects are together. Her face is impassive. Not seeing much fear…
"There were another two, in the final room. The senior SHADE agent and a girl. She was the telepath they were using as-."
"I know. I got them out after you left."
"Ah. Good." We stay looking at each other for a few moments. "Can I have Father Box back please?"
"Where is it?"
"It's-" I point. "-in your hand right there."
"The Anti-Life equation. It's not in your Father Box and it's not in you. Where did you put it?"
"The Source Wall." She reacts… Slightly. It's too little to be called a flinch. "Can I have-?"
"Why?"
"Because it was foul. Pressing against my soul, trying to make me not-be." I never really understood how 'equation equal reality' worked. The universe doesn't break if you write '2+2=7' but that thing was spouting… I frown. Something about… Not being a person? Huh. I can't… Clearly remember. I suppose I got off lightly there. "The Source Wall was the one place I could think of that it wouldn't be able to escape. Where no one else could get at it. I didn't want it on Earth or anywhere else."
"Huh."
"Why didn't you know where I was? It's not like you can just miss the Source Wall."
"Scott's Mother Box was tracking you. I didn't try following you, I just told it to open a boom tube and drop you here."
"Where are we, anyway?"
"You don't recognise it?" I shrug and shake my head. "This is one of the worlds Darkseid had Superman conquer for him. Apokolips isn't far. Easy for you to go home."
I shake my head again. "I'm not going to Apokolips. I've still got work to do on Earth."
She moves her Rod into the ready position. "Wrong answer."
"SHADE were going to use a piece of the Anti-Life Equation to Justify the citizens of Earth! They've probably still got what they need to establish some sort of spirit-crushing network. Batman was dealing with it when I left. I need to get back and make sure they don't try again. Barda, please. I don't want to fight you." Ring, plot course.
For a moment I was worried that you were going to rely on reason, Corpsman.
First resort of a civilised man, sole resort of the fool. No, wait, that doesn't sound right. A fool wouldn't… Oh, you get what I mean.
Indubitably, Corpsman.
"That's too bad. I've been-." Transition. "-looking-."
I appear right behind her and leap into the mouth of the boom tube, appearing in.. her home in Hartford. That was lazy.
"Back already? I though-." Scott looks up. "Oh."
"Seriously Scott: does she come with a clicker or something?"
"You might want to step away from-" Yep, I do. "-there, because-."
Barda charges back through, Rod at the ready.
I smile. "Nice place you got here."
"I will-."
Scott raises his hands in a warding gesture. "Not in the house, honey."
She trembles as she does her best to burn the flesh from my bones with her stare. I do my best to look harmless. "Scott, how are the children?"
"It's not going to be quick, but I should be able to help them. Except…"
"What?"
"The younger girl." He sighs. "She had more exposure than the others did, but more than that; her own metahuman power is slowly eating her brain. Even when I finish extracting the Anti-Life from her, I don't know how long she has."
"May be able to help there." He raises his eyebrows. "Turns out that Human soul structures are compatible with godhood. I've upgraded a few of my allies already and I'm more than happy to take a look at her."
Scott transfers his gaze to Barda. "Okay. Guess it can't hurt."
"But I'm going to need Father Box's aid." I hold out my right hand to Barda. "If you wouldn't mind?"
