Hmm. Well, same parents but they aren't genetically identical. Probably non-identical dodecaplets?

Which reminds me, I was wondering why Paul never thought about contacting Black Orchid when needing someone connected to the Green. She's friendlier than Swamp Thing, and not a villain like Woodrue or Isley. Well depending on which version of her exists at a time I suppose.

Is she just not a character Paul is aware of/remembers, or does she not exist (yet)?
 
The eventual family reunion must be weird, though I can imagine if Paul adopting a bunch of super powered and non-powered orphans and act as a role model for the teens.

Zoat is there any possibility of another character or characters from the immediate future traveling back in time to the current timeline who happen to be the offspring or successors of the team and league?

If Paul ever has a sidekick what would the a good way to separate them and Paul, there three active Green Lanterns with a possibility of a fourth join the team, especially if they also use an orange lantern ring?
 
OL better make sure not to annoy Eris and Gaia at the same time, then.

They might band together and Awaken his kinda sorta children.

He's never heard of her.

...

Yes, but if sufficient time has past then most people become descendants. Truggs actually has a pretty good chance of being related to at least Vandal Savage and quite possibly others. Same with Kadabra.
 
I don't think that storyline has happened in this setting.

If memory serves, Zoat has said he has no interest in using Lucifer in this story, and well, you think people would have noticed everyone in Hell going on walkabout on Earth.
They did.

"No, Lucifer left of his own accord about, um, thirty years ago? Threw everyone out and locked the gates behind him."

"The.. Plague of Ghosts? That was Lucifer leaving Hell?"

"Yes. Well, you understand I haven't been able to ask anyone directly involved, but as far as I know, yes. The whole.. mess.. only started to get sorted out when Duma and Remiel reopened it. They have de jure authority over the place, but the Demons listened to the First. John outsmarted him repeatedly, and he died with a golden two-pronged sword embedded in his chest. So, yes, fought and beat. If anyone can work out how to free your father, it's him."
Note that all Mr Zoat has to do to avoid using Lucifer in the story is for Lucifer to just not show up; he can still exist.

The Lord of Order, Shazam is a Magician whose name is used to turn into Captain Marvel. It's done by invoking the power and utilities of several gods whose names each start with a letter from his name. Well, I'm wondering if a Lord of Chaos could figure out a way to do the same.

Janus for teleportation, and seeing the beginning and end of a story. Odin for wisdom, power, and martial skill. Hermes for reaction time, flight/travel, and cunning. Nodens for healing and hunting.

That way even if Paul is without his ring, he's not without power. Or maybe someone else could become empowered.

Let me see if I have thiseen straight. You want to invoke the name of JOHN CONSTANTINE, after he becomes a lord of chaos to acquire more power.

I would rather attempt to become SABBAC, at least you'd know who's going to screw you over. With John you'd never see it coming.

I'd like to think Constantine would bless this power on someone else named John, so that they can't introduce themselves without a bolt of lightning hitting them and transforming.
 
So... would John himself grant Wisdom (and would it be a blessing or a curse) or movement (through Synchronicity Freeway)?
 
Titanfall (part 7)
18th June
19:14 GMT -5


A building the robots were preparing to harvest comes alive with Chthonian Young as their parent bursts forth from the ground and grapples with an apparently implacable Assault Stomper.

"But that's just-!"

A glowing portal opens in the centre of the machine fortifications as a small tentacle-covered creature plays a strangely shaped flute, the outline of a vast translucent mollusc just visible in the air above it.

"How did-?!"

Out from the portal pour the Children of Abhoth in an unending tide.

And Artemis throws up her hands as her structures disappear into their mouths. "How did you even do that?!"

I lean around the monitors separating us. "I do play this game almost every day."

"But you always play machines! And you said magic was the hardest strategy to pull off!"

There's a small 'boom' as her Machine Harbinger loses antimatter containment and explodes in a plume of vapour, then a series of other detonations as her Particle Beamers try to hit the Servitor keeping the portal open.

"Oh, it is."

And hit just about everything else as the Servitor capers around and lets its big cousin take the few shots that are still on target before the Children reach them.

"The Old Ones are victorious! Mankind is doomed! Doomed! GEB'L-EE'H YOG-SOTHOTH!"

"Greh-gruget-grah!" Artemis becomes somewhat incoherent as Kon leans over her shoulder and takes a look at the full map. "What!"

"Uh." Kon's eyes flick to me for a moment, and I understand that he knows perfectly well what she did wrong -lack of pressure- but now believes that it wouldn't be a good idea to bring it up. "Umm."

"Ah, babe? Are you ok-?"

"Okay!" Her eyes widen. "Just give me, like, two minutes."

"We could do some actual sparring for a bit, if you want something you can actually beat me at."

She turns and walks away from the gaming set up, the index finger of her right hand pointed in my direction. "Two minutes."

Yeah, magic focus is kind of annoying to play against. I was a bit surprised that she-.

"Recognised, Aqualad, B zero two."

I half turn in my seat as Kaldur appears, taking in my additional security measures with his usual dispassionate gaze.

"Identification confirmed."

He strides forwards, heading in our direction. Bit of a nuisance that he decided to wear his original Aqualad gear today. On the other hand, having him openly wearing Ocean Master's gear would on most days cause more trouble than it's worth. And, Truggs might just have redirected forces in his direction.

"Kaldur, what new-?"

"Recognised, Doctor Fate, two one."

Kaldur pauses just inside the security scanner for Nabu to materialise. I get to my feet. If he's here then there's input from the League. Richard sent everything he had to Batman and then returned home. I forget sometimes… Quite often, actually, that he's only fourteen and that fighting Titans and underwater foes isn't something he's really equipped to do. Batman's attitude appears to be 'this is a League task, we'll let you know if we need you'. Which -to be honest- is pretty reasonable. I step away from the computer and come to an approximate parade rest.

Nabu stares at the identification system, a pale golden aura shining out from his robes. Hm. Either he thinks there might be threats here or he's taken a leaf out of my book and started having his defences raised at all times. Worth knowing.

"Identification not confirmed. Please lower any exotic defences which may be preventing a complete scan."

"Lantern." I smile slightly, raising my eyebrows attentively. "What is the meaning of this?"

"I decided that the standard Justice League system was too prone to being bypassed, so I improved upon it. I'm afraid that you'll have to drop your shield spell."

Nabu pushes his left hand against the barrier, which holds firm. It's as exotic a shield as I could safely introduce and I don't think it's easy for magic users to bypass. "Lower this shield at once."

"Nabu, that's not how security works. You've been both mind controlled and impersonated before. I hardly think it's unreasonable-."

Nabu raises his right hand, a golden ankh flaring into being for a second before it detonates. Golden light radiates outwards, running through the identification arch and disintegrating it in a flash of light.

It would be so satisfying to hit him right now.

And I think I'd get away with it. Artemis is still angry about everything and the game and now someone she doesn't like -though her dislike is hardly on a level with mine or Zatanna's- just wrecked a piece of useful equipment. Wallace is inclined to respect League members, but that's getting a mild frown from him as well. Kon's staring, and it's flat out hostile. Wolf's lip is curling slightly, though she isn't growling yet. I think that I may have put the idea into the zeitgeist that being disrespectful to Nabu is okay. I could slam him against the back of the vestibule with a construct… Amp up the orange until I can carry out the scan… Batman wouldn't tolerate League members bypassing the security he's put in place.

My eyes slide over to Kaldur who is watching me impassively.

No. I can wait a few weeks.

"Alright then." I pointedly turn away from him and face Kaldur. "Aqualad, how are things in Atlantis?"

"Poseidonis is secure, as are all members of the royal family not already taken." There's a tension in his voice that I'm not used to hearing. "Military battlemages have reached the location of Oceanus' temple. It has been long abandoned. At the moment we have no further leads on Ocean Master's location."

Wallace tilts his head slightly to the left. "Well, what about Canada?"

Nabu steps forward. "Orm -or whatever dark entity he now serves- has become quite skilled in covering his tracks. The Batman and I have identified all of his movements while on land. Beyond that, the trail disappears."

Kon's eyes dip for a moment as he thinks. "What about just waiting at wherever the Gods locked up Oceanus? Orm's gotta go there sometime, right?"

"Oceanus' prison is removed from the physical world. There is no location from which it can be readily accessed, and the very act of entering would most likely be enough to release him." Nabu turns his head towards me. "I have learned that you acquired a sample of blood from a Saremite."

I nod. "Yes. I had intended to take it to Atlantis once the initial panic died down a bit."

"Foolish youth. Time is of the essence. Hand it over to me at once."

The container I put the blood from Ceyx in is currently on a shelf in my reconstructed workshop. "I.. don't.. believe that I take orders from you, Nabu." I smile. "Try asking nicely."

"Orange Lantern." I turn my head in Kaldur's direction. I.. was.. underestimating how angry he is. With me. "This is not the time. Doctor Fate is this world's premier magic user, and the best chance we have for locating Ocean Master before Oceanus is restored to this world. My family, my entire people, are most likely to be his first victims should that come to pass. If you will not take orders from Doctor Fate, perhaps you will take one from me."

"Alright." I nod. Need to smooth things over with Kaldur later. "Back in a moment."

two things, 1, what kind of security system doesn't assume hostile intent when the door is destroyed by an unverified person? the security system should have activated or needed OL to disable it. 2, nabu kind of has a point here, he doesn't want to say anything but he likely suspects if he lowered his defenses OL would kill him. I mean he knows the security system was made by him, who's to say it wasn't to engineer this exact opportunity? He's wrong of course, Ol has an entirely different plan to kill him, but he doesn't know that.

Given the technology level of that piece of equipment I would say Nabu just wrecked a multi-billion dollar device.

If the League isn't going to reign him in maybe it's time to send them a bill. :drevil:

OL can recreate it in like 2 minutes. I mean it was dick move, but not a huge one. Though batman is likely going to give him a long lecture about the importance of following security protocols.

Because he's possessing Zatannas fathers body, and that body would die too. Paul seems very attached to Giovannis freedom, so that's not something he would do. While Nabu might be right in assuming hostility from Paul, he's not a paranoid idiot and would be able to put two and two together. His human shield still functions as a defence against Paul.
