Ride the Lightning (Worm / DC Comics Cross Over)

Reader mode
As soon as I read the first part about the lightning I guessed it was the Flash.

Nice story! I look forward to reading more!
 
Well superspeed of the Flash variety for someone who is a bit of a munchkin has all sorts of possibilities.

Depending on how exactly the powers works out she may be one of the most powerful capes in the wormverse world right now just with superspeed alone.

She will probably need to find a tinker though who can give her a ring that holds a costume at some point.

"So when you think about it, most of the volume of any physical object is just empty space. Very inefficient. If you're willing to join the Wards, I'm sure I could get that costume of yours properly miniaturized for ease of carrying."

I looked up at Armsmaster and decided to call his bluff.

"I'm thinking of something in a ring."

Armsmaster grinned.

"Too easy."

I knew I was fast, but fighting crime is not a series of distance races. I needed to make sure I could move with speed and precision if I was going to be taking down the bad guys and getting out as cleanly as I wanted. To start with I climbed to the top row of each side of the stadium somewhere in the middle. On each side I took 10 marbles out of my pocket and threw them down into the stands, trying not to pay attention to where they hit, which way they rolled, or where they came to a stop. Once finished I trudged my way out to the middle of the field. Once there I took a moment to turn around, looking hard for obstacles. When nothing jumped out at me I reached into my pocket and pulled out the stopwatch I had found in the basement.

(...)

10 marbles.


Rushing back to the middle of the field I took out the stopwatch and clicked it off.


Total elapsed time: 00:00:15


I'm pretty sure my shout could be heard all the way across the bay! Fifteen seconds to look for and find 20 marbles spread over 30 levels of seating on two sides of a football field. Watch out Brockton Bay, you won't know what hit you.

Number of marbles changed there.

Other than that? Well, it is a MONTAAAAAGE~, and as that it does a good job.
 
Sooooo, would it be possible to have a description before the fic. I like the fic, but in the future as it grows and hopefully becomes biggest, people will need a few words to convince them to invest time in it.

Would a description before the text in the first post work, or would it be better to "bump" everything down one entry so the first post is nothing but description?

Just two lines text(max) in the first chapter at the beginning. Something like "Taylor got hit by lightning and can now use the speedforce". Or something, idk how many people have any idea what the speedforce thingy is. Bumping them up one level sounds like too much work for a small gain, so it is unnecessary.

P.S.: My grammar sucks, i didn't have any coffee

Added to first post.
 
As supervillain careers go one that begins with a bit breaking and entering or at least trespassing on a school and the theft of a water bottle and a security tape probably is not off to an all that spectacular start.

Maybe Taylor can make up for that later as she causes some collateral damage when further testing the limits of her power.
 
I must confess, this is making me feel a little giddy, also.....on a theoretical level taylor should be able to beat lung right? since lung is all "IMA BURN YOU TO A PULP AND SMASH TO TO ASHES!" so if taylor ran in circles around him at vast speeds, vortex=lack of fire= nighty night? (least, thats how i assume these things work)

Um..... spoilers?

But generally speaking yes, the whole vacuum vortex is one of the ways I thought up for her to counter Lung. The question though is, does Lung need oxygen in order to make fire? Is the fire combustion that happens in front of him, or is is something that is being summoned from an alternate universe? Would a lack of oxygen make him pass out, or would his ability to regenerate allow him to survive purely off of anaerobic metabolism?

Im not so worried about him needing oxygen for a fire and more he needs it to breathe, cause take the air from his lungs and he will be out like a light anyway....but thats an interesting question, does his power need oxygen for fire, or is it Parahuman nonsense fire that defy's all laws of physics (would it be chemistry in this case?).
