Laura Gisela was trying to rally and corral a group of violent, super powered narcissists currently going through a fit of collective panic and failing miserably. Mostly because, even if she would consciously never admit it, the European woman had much the same mentality. For now, though, Gisela was content […]
“You remember the advice I gave you?” Shane looked up and nodded at Jack before going back to checking over his costume for the third time that afternoon. They were in the backstage of Neal Chandler’s studio, Shane in his gleaming, black suit reminiscent of knights’ armor and Jack in […]
It had barely been two hours and the damn sky was already getting dark. The, now winter, season had pulled down the sun far faster than suspected, making traversal of the long alleyways vastly more difficult for the group, a light frost clinging to the sides of the brick buildings […]

It was unlikely that Trap Master was actually trying to kill him, and so whatever the cannon that had popped out of her shoulder shot probably wouldn’t do any serious damage. All the same, Styx’s instincts made him reflexively try to duck out of the way as soon as the […]
