Wait. She brought that up during their happy fun time?

Actually Free is only moderately tougher than a normal human; especially compared to Barda.
Grayven and R!Jade are an obvious one too. As is Zeus and his long string of mortal sex objects. And Herakles raped a lot of Amazons, but they lived; they weren't ripped to pieces.

Right, this Jade doesn't have the enhancements that Renegade Jade did. OL should probably fix that soonish.
Actually she never got around to being enhanced.

No, I'm saying Zoat went with DC's original supervillain version.
DC has since preferred Herc as not a supervillain, just a jackass.
Like he switches identities with the superhero Harald Champion to get close to WW.
Or becoming Wonder Man because he was tricked by Circe.
So in New Earth she has varied and multiple reasons to be mad at Herc, but raping her mother is not one of them. The Queen was immensely willing.
Earth One Wonder Woman is a bit of a throwback- Wondy is Herc's child the queen kept as a weapon of gendercide. To which I say, damn that's dark.

It's been a while since I read the relevant parts, but didn't Grayven start turning Jade into a New God?

The one in this story off the top of my head would be kid flash and artemis, not sure they've done enough to run into this problem yet though.
...cutting it awful close to a QQ chapter here.
Also didn't he plan on recruiting Jade into the OLC? Her trial run didn't go too badly.

Careful now, just because because someone does something different then you doesn't make them stupid.
Paul does pretty much everything with his rings. This is a girl he likes, he wants, and more importantly, he wants to be the very best and leave a very good impression. Makes sense to me.

You need only wait for tonight, then.
Oh, you all KNEW I was going to be here for THIS. ...you did know that, right? I mean, I'd hate to have chained the doors shut for nothing.
...or he's a morning person. Hmmm. No, that can't be it. He's gone into too many religious institutions without bursting into flames.
Alternately: ...god dammit, Paul. Tell me you didn't do the eye thing AGAIN.
Alternately 2: "Sorry, I learned that from a giant spider and SHE seemed to enjoy it, so...."
....DUMP HER, PAUL. No one who willingly drinks instant coffee can be trusted! The BARE MINIMUM is drip coffee! I don't even drink coffee and I know THAT! She's gotta be a Skrull or something!
*takes a few more moments to just... REALLY SAVOR those implications*
*so much savoring going on here, seriously*
*puerile giggle*
I... I'm gonna need a few minutes, guys. Whooo. Whoooooooo.
That's amazing. ...and also reminds me of one of my favorite jokes ever. (Which is audibly unsafe for work, but that's it.)
From what I've gathered... anyone with a scribing pen and about four second's access to the internet? I mean, shit, at this point, I suspect that once you hit "H" Google just auto-completes to "How to hide myself from Orange Lantern."
Oh, god. He's one of those people who get all peppy after.
...or he's a morning person. Hmmm. No, that can't be it. He's gone into too many religious institutions without bursting into flames.
Oh, you FOOL! I recognize that gesture! You tried to approach her before she's had her coffee!
That... that could be... worrisome.
...oh. OH. Ooooooooh! *puerile giggle* I get it now. I see what's going on here. Jade obviously did NOT read the explanatory pamphlet Lois Lane slipped to her a while back. ("Stronger Than a Locomotive and You: Tips and tricks for intimacy with super strength.")
"Did... did you not WANT me to bake you a cake?"
Alternately: ...god dammit, Paul. Tell me you didn't do the eye thing AGAIN.
Alternately 2: "Sorry, I learned that from a giant spider and SHE seemed to enjoy it, so...."
*facepalm* Paul, you adorkable little menace.
Wait. Back up. Wait wait wait. BACK THE FUCK UP. In the midst of innuendo and whatnot, I might have skipped something important....
oh sweet baby jesus in a smoking birch bark canoe
....DUMP HER, PAUL. No one who willingly drinks instant coffee can be trusted! The BARE MINIMUM is drip coffee! I don't even drink coffee and I know THAT! She's gotta be a Skrull or something!
"Yessss... I'd seen some of the... stories you'd written indicating that assumption. In... rather detailed terms."
I'm guessing... slight post-performance anxiety? (Seriously, Jade, you should have read that damn pamphlet.)
WELL, I DO. You had something there, Paul! A... special connection.
*puerile giggle* Yes. Just like every OTHER teenaged boy on the planet. *cough*fiveknuckleshuffle*cough*
You're supposed to wait for International Women's Day for THAT, Paul!
It's INSTANT, you monster. That's the "I have a coffee drinker in my house and I don't drink coffee THIS WILL GET RID OF THEM" option! No TRUE human being chooses to drink instant!
*takes a few moments to savor the implications of that*
*takes a few more moments to just... REALLY SAVOR those implications*
*so much savoring going on here, seriously*
*puerile giggle*
*puerile giggle* ...you?
oh sweet cheese and crackers
I... I'm gonna need a few minutes, guys. Whooo. Whoooooooo.
wait what is sh-OH DEAR LORD I GET IT
That's amazing. ...and also reminds me of one of my favorite jokes ever. (Which is audibly unsafe for work, but that's it.)
And Jade's just realized that Paul obviously... well, let's just let my friend, Lieutenant Drebin, explain it:
"And that's how Jade became the first Blush Lantern, powered by the emotion of Embarrassment."
My god. He really IS a menace! Orange Lantern, breaking hearts and... *cough* ...other things all over the universe!
*puerile giggle* No one likes a braggart, Paul!
Wait until she's out of the room for the celebratory fist pumps, Paul. That's just polite.
Well, really, that depends on how good you are at Australian kisses. It's... a learned skill.
*puerile giggle* I... uh... I still have room on The Chart, Jade. And I STILL really believe in Paul's suitability for a certain grateful MILF. Just... putting that out there, is all.
Yessssss... that's certainly one way of phrasing it.
Subtle dick joke or subtle dick joke? You decide!
Dear lord, you... uh... really made... um... an... exhaustive night of it, then? Covered ALL your bases, so to speak?

If I remember correctly she must stay good for a year.
I don't know about "first and foremost", but I can definitely see it being high up on the list of considerations.
I would tend to think any super/non-super relationship has a lot of potential to run into power imbalance issues. That Paul has the ability to freely grant superpowers and give someone a job that comes with a power ring doesn't take the issue off the table; matter of fact, I would think it would make things more complicated. On one level, Paul/Jade is like someone with a good middle-class job that she's worked hard for who starts dating a billionaire.
To be fair to Paul, it's not so much "pretending" as that the concept of a 'real age' gets a bit malleable when your chronological and biological ages aren't in sync.
M'gann is 48 years old chronologically; Kon is less than a year old at the start of the fic. Both look, behave and are treated as teenagers, so on a lot of levels, I'm fine with saying that's what they are. To the extent that your body is that of a teenager (dealing with teenaged hormones, not dealing with aches and pains of old age) and you're being perceived and treated as a teenager, there's a large sense in which you have more in common with the age group your body fits in with as opposed to how long your consciousness has existed.
In terms of life experience, you could even make the argument that someone like Kon, dealing with so many life upheavals and major life decisions, has actually "lived" more than an average 30-year-old in which most of those years consisted of dull boring monotony.
On the other hand, keeping a romantic partner in the dark regarding the mismatch between your life experience and your perceived age seems... problematic, so I'll be curious to see if/when Paul comes clean with Jade. It's also one of the reasons why I was disappointed that the Paul/M'gann ship never went anywhere after what seemed like a promising beginning, as there's no issues with them both being members of the "older than they look" club.
Right, though it strikes me as more than a little sad, like a virgin whose only knowledge of sex comes from porn, and who has the superpowers to replicate exactly that.
I mean, I guess it kind of depends on what kind of relationship they're going to end up having, but considering he's already in violet territory, and I would assume that her history means that the emotional connection is probably more difficult for Jade than the physical one, starting off with a wild night of sport-fucking was probably not his best option.

So....like pretty much every virgin since the dawn of the age of porn?
I'm going to assume that the words "No." and "Stop" where not uttered by Jade. She was simply unprepared for Super-sex. You're almost acting as if OL somehow did something wrong, and considering she isn't telling him to get out...
Also, who doesn't start off with a wild night of sport fucking?
Oh god.
Oh god.

Now, correct me if I'm wrong...
A dannered new god, would get really strong and tough and healthy. A dannered speedster would have top-tier speed with minimal side-effects. A new god's metaphysique rejects alchemical enhancements, which, I believe is the reason Grayven cannot use V9/V10 formulas.
Jade was kind of waffling on which enhancement to pick, although she was leaning towards super-speed. But, she didn't get enhanced.
A new god kryptonian.... would be a non-Earth 16 version of a kryptonian, probably. If Kryptonian metaphysique isn't already god-like enough, that is, which is a possibility.
Although, I guess if you had an alchemical superpower, BUT also had a deep focus on something --- say, an Awakened Dannered dr. Roquette - she'd probably still gain major New God boosts towards her intelligence. Or, say, Flash+Awakened Green Arrow would still probably get super-archery.
*edit*
Nope. Newgodhood interacts with other super-abilities. If you're an average human, you become super-human - with perhaps enhancement in any special skill you had. Kind of like getting a cutie mark.

*edit*
Wait, this strongly implies that the alchemical formulas basically modify a person's metaphysique. New Godhood is very strongly a "be yourself" type deal, why it resists.... Which means, that it probably grants a type of regeneration towards default state, so unless your metaphysique is directly damaged, or you suffer a trauma which alters your self-image, you basically heal towards your most "you" state.

There are instant coffees of suitable quality. Nothing chemically prevents instant coffee from being good. It's just that most instant coffees are designed to be cheap caffeine sources instead of good beverages -- but I've found a couple brands that I'm quite content with, and I'm something of a coffee snob. Yes, I do PREFER a properly brewed espresso over drip coffee, and drip over instant, but good-quality instant is acceptable for before I'm awake enough to operate the coffeemaker.
