Ayy, thanks for the update.
LASAGNA IS GOOD CIVILIZATION

Taylor didn't quite know how to handle her fathers new girlfriend.

Fortuna was rather blunt and a bit creepy if she were being honest. The woman never looked in any direction except forward when walking unless she was being spoken to.

She also had a bit of an obsession with Taylor, constantly asking if she needed anything or inquiring her opinion on certain topics ranging from her favorite ice cream flavor (which was obviously mint chocolate chip) to what she would do if scion was rampaging across the world.

It wasnt like they didn't get along, she was nice to Taylor and always brought her gifts or bought her toys. Why, just last week Fortuna had won five grand prizes in a row for Taylor at the Japanese arcade down at the docks......

Fortuna was obviously a parahuman.

There was no way she could have won all those without either True Magic or a Thinker ability because GACHA WAS BAD CIVILIZATION! There was also the way she would just drop what she was doing and do something entirely unrelated, as if something in a precognition had just changed.

Her parahuman status aside what really mattered was that she somehow manged to get her father out of his funk. She had never seen him look so driven or happy with anyone except her mother. It made her a bit upset but she could deal with it as long as her father was happy.

They were having dinner at home today and Fortuna was making lasagna. It sent a pang through Taylor's heart that this was the first time she had it since her mothers death but she reasoned with herself that it was just another dish. When she entered the kitchen she was immediately hit with the smell of Italian heaven and with it came memories of better times.

Her father chatting excitedly while Fortuna smiled and nodded along clearly amused. They noticed her when she walked in.

"Hello Taylor" said Fortuna "Sit down and i'll serve you a portion of lasagna" Taylor nodded and proceeded to sit at the table. Her father gave her smile and went back to his conversation with Fortuna while she was cutting out a slice of lasagna.

"Here you go" said Fortuna as she served Taylor. 'it even looks the same as moms' she thought 'but theres no way it'll taste the same'.

As she took a bite she was immediately proven wrong .

*sniffle*
"whats wrong" Her father asked

"I...*sob* I..." Taylor tried to speak but everytime she tried to she was interrupted by a sob that came from her throat.

Before she knew it Fortuna had already stood up and wrapped her in a hug. As tears streamed down Taylors face she looked at Fortuna's face and saw a comforting motherly smile. 'Its not fair' she thought. When her tears dried and she calmed down Fortuna released her from the hug.

"Are you alright now" Fortuna asked

Taylor looked up at Fortuna once more and saw the worried expression on her face. She quickly nodded. Her mother was gone and for good and no one could replace her but that didn't mean no one else could join her family and with that she came to her conclusion...

"Lasagna is good civilization"

School was cheery, something Taylor could understand as it taught children what good and bad civilisations were, schools were part of good civilisations and bad civilisations didn't have schools so her living in America was a good thing, Taylor didn't know what she do if she lived in a bad civilisation.

Her best friend, Emma was being very clingy around her, probably because her Mother did die not too long ago and such a tragedy still stings at her heart and she would admit she did feel like crying alone somewhere at the loss of such a kind and loving person who further taught her what good civilisations were all about and how to tell good and bad one apart, she would never ever forget such a human being never ever.

Her Father was still unresponsive most of the time, didn't even have it in himself to drive her to school so she took the bus with her friend who she called before leaving home, Taylor wondered how long her Father would be the way he is and just what might get him functioning again properly, even after 12 years of life as a human she barely understood human emotions as they were so weird and unwieldy plus it didn't help her when she felt very sad and angry at her Father, something a child shouldn't feel to their sire or at least she thought they shouldn't Taylor wasn't sure on it just yet.

What she was sure of though was that if she left her Father like he is for too long then it wouldn't be long for uncle and auntie Barnes to come knocking on the door of her home and then she could tell her father would experience what it would be like to be a bad civilisation before being turned back into a proper human being.

Other than that school was cheery like she said, everyone wore bright smiles on their faces as they talked about, well her really, no matter who they were they talked about what she did in Iceland, about how she battled with Behemoth and took its head as a souvenir before enshrining it on a crane in the docks district like a trophy mounted upon a wall to be admired at. That did bring a smile to her face, it also made her wonder if Ares was still mad about her still having his sword, she'd have to find some villain representing Bad bad civilisation to test it on to see if he still hates her.

Again school was cheery and it like many other things blurred together much like with her waiting century's within the Throne of Heroes when waiting to be called upon to deal with a mission from the Counter Force or participate in Holy Grail Wars hoping to be granted that wish she now experienced here and now.

Though as school ended and she bided her friend farewell on her way home, Taylor could not find it within herself to go back to her own home knowing full well that all that was waiting for her was one desired person missing and the other simply not there at all, so Taylor decided to do what she did yesterday to make sure her city didn't become another bad civilisation only on a much smaller scale compared to what she did to Rome.

So her belongings were placed somewhere where she could find them easily again and then she grew from her small lava lie size to her White Titian form only not so titanic but human-sized so she wouldn't accidentally squish anyone fragile.

So she walked into the city looking for those who make her city of Brockton bay into a bad civilisation. She looked and looked all around downtown and couldn't find anyone doing some bad aside from pedestrians filling and taking photos of her while few brave enough walked all the way up to asking for an autograph and a selfy with her but once that was over and done a few more circuits around she went elsewhere as nothing bad was happening.

She walked down the boardwalk looking and looking for anyone who would be doing anything bad, she couldn't find anyone so she instead went to an ice-cream stand where she wanted to get her favourite scoop before they closed for the afternoon, the man didn't even accept her money for her treat, his name was Paul and Taylor decided he was part of the Good good civilisation and immediately became her favourite person to associate with.

Once her ice cream was finished it was getting dark as the Sun sank beyond the horizon but she was still committed to stopping the villains wherever they may be.

So she walked all the way to the train yard looking and looking for those who would be bad but all she could find was homeless men and women hoping for money, Taylor decided she would try to make something to protect them and come back more often so they wouldn't have to worry for becoming part of Bad bad civilisation.

She then walked down to the docks and warehouses and looked all over for anyone bad and much to her happiness she found two someone's who were maybe part of Bad bad civilisation and they were fighting people part of the new Good good civilisation, she recognised them as Glory Girl and Shielder, both young heroes were doing badly against those who called themselves Uber and Leet as they were dressed in costumes related to video game characters. a Link and Mario she wasn't sure on the names yet but Emma was very informative on such subjects.

The heroes had this golden glow on them and were fighting 8 multi coloured ghost squid things that would shatter into pixels when the heroes hit one enough times but then another ghost would appear again from a box thing that Leet had once he'd placed in some random material into the contraption and press a few buttons it would rumble and vibrate before the lid on it opened again spilling out another of those ghost squid things then it would join the fray again.

Taylor continued watching feeling entrapped by the game they played, though it was more so a gameshow for Uber and Leet and the heroes of New Wave were just unwilling participants, she didn't know why they were called villains when they didn't do anything to drag this city into bad civilisation nor did they try to make it a good civilisation, what she did understand is that these two people were having fun, they were laughing and smiling brightly at what they were doing and it was something that Taylor had to admit what they doing actually did look fun, as why else would she not involve herself when no one was being hurt by something bad.

Instead, resolving herself Taylor bounded towards the villains who did not notice the adult-sized White Titian slowly and calmly walk up behind them as both were still far too busy enthralled with their gameshow as they continued commentary on what they were doing with the members of New Wave, though for the said members they still kept the eyes on the two gaming themed villains with a lot of hatred and annoyance as both would very much want to be spending the night celebrating yesterday's events in the Endbringer battle victory party at their home, but no, they were out here dealing with these two idiots.

However, they soon bore triumphant smiles as they spied the End Slayer herself strolling slowly up behind the unaware duo who still holding up cameras live streaming the whole event not realising when they turned the camera to themselves the watches caught sight of the saviour of Iceland and started freaking out over the fact that Sefar was approaching them.

It wasn't until Taylor was right behind the comedic du that she spoke

"Hey," she said in a soft voice freezing the two gaming villains who then spun quickly around before further freezing in place going so rigid they imitated the perfect human statue while their eyes widened so far open you could see the whites and the small tremor roaring in their hearts.

Taylor didn't see any of this only concerned with one thing.

"Can I play?" she said in the sweetest voice she muster as to not seem petulant or dead voiced. The effect it had on everyone present and watching was what you would expect.

"Wot?" Leet replied dumbly as he and his partner's minds worked on the words spoken by this literal world saver.

"Can I play with you, this looks like fun?" Taylor said again trying to avoid pouting and seeming demanding.

It took a long drawn out minute before the two gaming villains huddled together muttering loudly and exchanging not so good words with each other all while the two heroes looked stumped and well stupefied and those watching began a furious debate.

But none too soon the two men faced her again before…

"Ladies and Gentlemen our third player has appeared" Uber and Leet announced out to the world loudly in the most showmen-like attitude they could muster.

Taylor smiled.

And the heroes paled.

The game began anew.
 
Piggot is going to pop a vein once she finds out about this, and Halbeard will probably rip his beard out of pure frustration that there is a way more popular cape in HIS city
 
I wonder what Lisa is gonna get when she studies Taylor?
[12 years old] [over 24,000 years old]
[5'4 feet tall] [+200 feet tall]
[likes ice cream and lasagna] [devours stars]
[likes good civilization] [dislikes bad civilization]
"WTF!?"

Lisa works with observation so she might get that Altera is innocent(with a bit of insight on Altera's good/bad civilisation mindset), that she is a kid, her civilian identity, that she doesn t obey laws of physics and if Altera uses the sword of Mars in front of her that Altera has a Striker power that turns any weapon she holds in something that can somehow destroy matter and just like Endbringer she somehow hides her giant body

It s alreay weird that Contessa got info on Altera considering Contessa's Shard is dead and has no survival instinct anymore, it didn t tell her to watch out for Scion, it would be much more logical if Altera was just a blindspot because Shards don t understand her powers but this is crack anyway so...
 
I think Scion can kill Sefar. Entities, like the God Machines of Olympus, are the result of millenia of research and development, meaning their more complex techniques, like Stilling or time manipulation will fail. But Sefar was defeated by raw strength twice. Once by the first wielder of Excalibur, and then by Lostbelt Zeus who had fused with the other Olympians.

It means that Scion can defeat Sefar if he does something like deorbiting the moon to crush her, or just convert all matter of an Earth into energy. As long as it is not a direct attack, it should work (Excalibur was forged, yet the mana it expelled wasn't converted into Spiritrons, like other magical attacks).

Zeus wasn t alone, there were other pantheons and he was powerful enough to destroy the Solar System so I doubt deorbiting the moon is enough and doesn t Sefar have a power that makes her stronger the more advanced the enemy civilisation is?

Also I don t think Excalibur is pure raw power (especially with all seals released)
 
Entities can convert an uncountable number of parallele worlds into resources and energy (side effects include destruction of all these worlds), so I think they should be able to use that energy against Sefar, even if they just destroy less than a thousandth of the Earths
