Chapter 1 Rain pattered against the windshield of the van as it raced past traffic that pulled over for it. Bold, white letters on its side were visible for only a second as it came and went: PRT. Everyone knew they meant 'Parahuman Response Team'. For locals, it was an unfortunate and...

I checked my makeup in the mirror. The subtlest touches removed blemishes, gave me ruby red lips, and made my sparkling blue eyes pop. A glance at my immaculately manicured nails revealed no chips in the even glossy coats of the red polish. Cosmetics Perfect! "Heat from fire, fire from heat."...

When the world is threatened by dangers within and without, egomaniacal scientists unleashing their experiments on nations, vast conspiracies dictating the fate of millions, ambitious trillionaires eager to scar the planet in their colors, there are Heroes, willing to hold back the Darkness when...

February 1st, 1994 The house sits dark and quiet, all sound and light muffled by the snowy blanket of the cold New Jersey winter. Even the light that oozes out through a second story window onto the the suburban expanse of the sleepy part of Somerset seems pale and faded. The casual passerby...

Art badly photoshopped combination of commissions from lonsheep and KingDaume ----- Even More Completely Unoriginal ----- Day 1.1 : Thrown Into the Fray In retrospect, maybe Brockton Bay wasn't the best city to be visibly queer in. I mean, you'd think the bright teal mohawk, chestful of...

"I think I'm starting to fear this conference room, Tony," Happy Hogan said as he pulled slightly at the collar of his shirt. Tony Stark, a black eye hidden behind massive Aviator sunglasses – he'd have been wearing them anyway, but keeping his shiner out of the photos was a bonus – didn't...

Clark preferred the night. Daylight beat too brightly on him. It made the noise and the sights too strong. He rarely spent time under the sun if he could avoid it. He could still hear the screams, the begging, the cries of a world ending at night - but it was easier to shut them out. To focus in...

Expedition 1.1 Steel sang in the Garden of the Moon. In the grand palace-city of Sigmaron, the garden was a quiet place of contemplation, mediation, and a haven of solitude for most. To the guardians of the free people of the Mortal Realms, it was an excellent ground to practice their dueling...

Arrival 1.1 I woke up falling from several thousand feet in the air and on fire. That was a new one. Adrenaline surged and I jerked out of my stupor in a flailing tangle of limbs. My mind raced as I desperately tried to understand what was going on, how I had wound up like this, and most...

"Where… where am I?" The last thing he remembered was sacrificing his life to stop the Wunderwaffe, a terrible weapon created by the Nazis near the end of World War II. He had been just a few days short of his eighteenth birthday, yet he had died with a smile, knowing his sacrifice would lead...

It started the way it always did. Wind screaming past, clouds slashing overhead, three streaks of color carving through the sky—red, blue, green. Townsville sprawled beneath them, all rooftops and flashing billboards and streets too narrow to matter. The city wasn't important. Winning was...

Nuked due to lacking context

The world tilts, and my stomach lurches. The air rushes past me—cold, sharp, wrong. One second, I'm getting out of my car, and the next—I'm falling. I don't even have time to scream before I slam into something hard. Pain explodes through my body, white-hot and absolute. My breath catches, my...

CHAPTER 1: A FLICKER OF FATE One instant, he was certain he was alive—breathing air, eyes open, heart beating. Then, in the gap of a single blink, everything dissolved. It was as though the world had vanished in a rush of wind, leaving him in a place that felt emptier than the void between...

wrong thread

When I opened my eyes in shock, I was lying face down in a puddle. I jerked up into a crouching position and felt my body for any wounds. My leather jacket and helmet were damp with stale water, but I was not wounded in any way. A moment before, I was speeding down the highway on my...

I opened my eyes instantly, the alarm clock blaring by my ears. This was the day, the big one. Throwing the covers aside, I pressed the off button on my alarm and swung out of bed. It’s hard to stay calm, but I know that getting overly excited or panicked won’t help. Besides, it’s not like I...

THE LAST DOMINO "Get your fuckn' hands off me!" As Salvatore Maroni struggled, snarled, and whined with about as much grace as a child throwing a screaming tantrum, James Gordon patted his coat for his pipe. Habit kept it going for a moment, before he remembered how he had promised his wife...
