Hate to burst your shipping bubble but Grounders has stated that this story will be kept clean.

No smut/harems (You want that, go to QQ) only fluff.

i not talking abot Harem the Shipping, i taling about Harem type relatioship, aka the relationship between a group.

i was just showing the ones who will probably enter in the PolyShip


and still, that was derailment right?

Your post was much closer to derailing than the one telling you to stop.
 
Unfortunately Emma's situation isn't something that can be fixed by just a bunch of hugs, good or otherwise.
Her mental state at the end of chapter 13 could be described as undergoing catastrophic breakdown.

Sophia on the other hand, it's anybody's game right now. Because while the main reasons she's being 'nice' in 13 is due to A: worry about Emma's behavior and B: not wanting to set off the lightning-throwing fox girl who can rip her limb from limb with ease; she has not yet gotten any real reason to break from her toxic mindset.

Yea that's the big hurdle. It might even be self defeating.

Right now her attitude shift is still entirely in line with her broken worldview. She's maybe lost a little bit of arrogance while recognizing that Taylor is now a bigger bad ass, but her core outlook is still the same.

Her chilling out a little, while still holding onto the initial views, might confuse people into thinking she's getting better when she really isn't.

On the other hand, her previous attitudes were that authority figures were things to be circumvented, so being willing to follow Taylor's lead might be an in for some progress there, assuming anybody picks up on that anyway.
 
From my understanding isn't was less authority figures as a whole. It was authority figures that were weak, of mind/attitude/body, or ones that held back because of society or morals. Because in her mind, the only moral is survival and use of power.

They were weak by default, by virtue of being in charge and not fixing shit before she had to.

All the rules, and red tape, the regs that kept the wards on PR patrols instead of out stopping gang bangers, the fact that they had to tip toe around the gangs. We're too stupid to stop her from going out under their noses.

By being ineffective the entire organization was 'weak'.

things like Miss Militia telling her to make nice with the civillians instead of taking her out to snipe Lung is just proof none of them have the guts to follow through.
 
Which I believe was the core issue; Grounders10 was all write, no play, and needed the slower pace so all that floof stayed put.

Also, judging from canon her response to finding out Taylor is powerful isn't exactly a positive one. In canon she screamed incoherently and broke a television; while she's more composed here, it's clear she really doesn't like it when people fail to stay in the "Strong + Predator"/ "Weak + Prey" category she initially sticks them into. But she knows perfectly well that fighting Taylor right now would be suicidal, which puts her in a quandary.

She'd probably be stewing over it more if it wasn't for Emma and the general weirdness of the whole situation distracting her.

Just a joke on my part.

Who knows, the next chapter might actually come just in time for Christmas.

I'm guessing in spring, March-April 2022. But really, it comes when it comes. Until then, I have shipgirls to summon, Endbringers to fight, Summer camp with Dragons (and shipgirls, mental models and Parahumans, on my!), and...

Death.... :o :o :o

Anyway, @Grounders10 , hope life is treating you well, and look forward to hearing from you when you're ready. :)

What's that? Sniping Lung with a crossbow pistol is a spectacularly bad idea that will just end up with large parts of the city on fire and a lot of people dead? No, that can't possibly be why Sophia isn't suppose to be going on a supervillain murder spree. It must be because everyone except Sophia is "weak".

Woah blast from the past.

Lung's explicit weakness is that he needs time to grow. If you can end the fight in one blow his powers don't have time to kick in.

Giving him a bullet between the eyes would end him if it was the first thing you did to him, even if he would shrug off such a shot later on in his build up.

Especially if it's a anti material thingy to the chest!

Only if you also hit and destroy the brain tumors that serve as his I/O port for the shard in the process. Which again, may not actually prove fatal to him due to the projectile. Rather the problem might be that his powers go out of control. If you don't get an immediate kill shot that also destroys the shard's connection point Lung might survive, heal in a very short period of time, and now be coming after you. Kind of like how if you don't kill Bruce Banner instantly you're in serious trouble. And you might not be able to do so, because he starts transforming the instant the injury starts to be caused. In the MCU movies, and comics (I think) Bruce Banner has, while absolutely calm, put a gun in his mouth or to his head and pulled the trigger. It didn't kill him. Lung likely has a similar difficulty in being put down, if Lung was in his base state.

But yes, a high enough callibar bullet could theoretically take out Lung. A bolt fired from a crossbow pistol is probably not going to do so. No, firing it while in her shadow state is unlikely to change the math either.
