Put it all together and She faded out of view. You mean Capes? No, she chuckled. One day, her mother didn't come home. This has been rumbling for a little on my snippet thread and finally reached the point where it really needed a home of its own. Well, he began slowly, that's pretty much the only choices for a cape. What a limited view of the world you people have, she replied, sounding like she was smirking even though her alien visage betrayed no emotion he could read. Now, since theyre all locked, that means you must be She could hear approaching footsteps. Assault shook his head a little then leaned forward. At least? The words seemed to mean only what they said. Im not the second coming of Nilbog, or anything like that, although I expect a lot of people will come to that conclusion. Sophia, you are without doubt one of the most unpleasant people Ive ever met, he snarled back. The figure disappeared from view as he bounded up the side of the next building over, redirecting his kinetic energy to keep him moving steadily upwards, bouncing between the two buildings. So on balance, yes, its a good thing, although the cause might not be. Youre thinking its parahuman involvement, then. It wasnt a question. When she was sure that Sophia was doing as she was told, the older woman looked back at Dragon, scanned the faces of the others, then asked, In your estimation what should we rate Hive as? Wondering who Hive was, Sophia listened carefully. left kudos on this work! Really? Something changed. Her tormentors stole her homework and used it themselves, destroyed what they couldn't use, stole her property over and over again, including mementos of her mother, did everything they could to make her life hell. Alt-Power Taylor Hebert. A subreddit to discuss fanfics for Wildbow's works! Sorry. Very bad. She followed the pointing finger and did as ordered. Vicky was still looking befuddled, and muttering about giant bugs. (No knowledge of LoL is needed, tho it would help. Come on, let's order some chinese, and see if Mom and Dad want some." Now shes back and ready to relax into her retirement. Why? He couldn't think of a good answer for a moment. Exactly. As well as every online library Im aware of. Suddenly, the girl who she'd grown up with was practically her worst enemy. A conservative estimate would be around ten to the twenty-fifth power or thereabouts. He stared, horrified. To visit familiar areas while I worked out what I'd do next. A local, then? he asked quietly. She slapped his hand away, still looking around. 134 guests I've been away she told him, sounding like she regretted this. What? Stung them. They stood there for another minute or so. Taylor Hebert is dead, Assault. I find it hard to believe that she doesnt know something about what must have been a very vicious bullying campaign against this girl. So for now sit back, relax, and enjoy Taylor desperately trying to retire. Their powers just dumped all these designs into their heads and gave them ideas, but most of them simply build intuitively. Vicky stared. All I can do is move on. Assault shivered for a moment. Stuck inside a box smaller than a coffin, surrounded by horrific crap that should have been incinerated days ago, in enormous pain and sensory overload from seeing and hearing and smelling through millions of insects Then the heat, and the smoke. Holy shit, she mumbled in shock. It's a work of art. Is she a biotinker of some sort, then? I'm not sure, I guess she must be. You are not their equal, but one day you might be. He grunted a little, affirmatively, unwilling to stop his current task until be finished the delicate manipulations. Im not saying there isnt some weird power or combination of powers that could kill me either, nothing is really immortal, but even if there was, the aftereffects would be bad enough to make using it pretty much impossible. Why?Assault asked, then hastily added, Not that Im saying I want to kill you. He got the impression she was more or less grinning at him for what hed said. The smaller man was being his usual self and their long-suffering leader was beginning to get annoyed about it. He shook his head, not taking his eyes off her. Nice try. Her friend, her oldest friend, someone as close to her as a sister, suddenly wasn't. She looked at him again, while he listened. The sky was completely clear, after a cold mid-March night, with not a cloud to be seen. Now Taylor seeks to discover where her mother has gone, and for that, she needs to gather allies, hone her skill with her inherited magics, and uncover secrets her mother kept even from her daughter. It was nice to talk. Not even using the poisonous ones, cockroaches would be enough to strip someone to the bone in a few minutes if you used enough of them. Assault shuddered again, harder, feeling ill. OK, I get the point. Good. All linked together into one huge neural network. Oh, Christ on a stick, he moaned. So we either have some parahuman arsonist who just happened to torch a school which coincidentally happened to have a fifteen year old girl trapped in a locker full of biological waste in it, or whoever actually did the trapping then set the fire to cover their tracks. The invisibility was very impressive for something that was biologically based. Which adds a Stranger rating as well, of course, Miss Militia put in. Ive never liked Amelia much. All right. I was loving this, and then the latest chapter with a fascinating Crystal who I am loving seeing the world from her perspective. I was trying for non threatening but I have some limitations at the moment. They didn't seem to recognize my costume, or care if they did. She was silent for a few seconds. He watched, then did the same next to her. More appeared, until the effect was a bit like a model of an atom, half a dozen of the insects flying in circles around a common point. Two and a half months ago when Winslow burned down. She got better, he said with a nasty grin. Sorry, I've got nothing. This made her laugh again. Three paralyzed muggers at the following coordinates, ready for pickup. Amy paused, then nodded. After a few seconds, she held up her upper right hand, the superhero beside her watching with interest as a wasp appeared from nowhere and landed on the extended first finger. The Sun was just clearing the horizon, the lower edge a finger's-breadth above the water, the buttery rays highlighting the east-facing buildings with gold and yellow colors, while in the Bay itself the glittering force-field around the Rig glinted with extra shades from the same source. Youre in the way, Tats, he said, poking her again. But thats only my guess at the moment. Yes, thanks. More or less all the evidence that could have led to a culprit was compromised by the extreme heat. She looked around. It also didn't really seem to be necessary from a story point of view? Hey, wait! he called just before she reached the edge. So, its likely that the same source is responsible. That would be my guess, yes. She looked seriously at him. Simply killing all those insect vectors would be almost impossible, but whatever has caused this has gone one better. She didn't say and I was a little preoccupied, so I forgot to ask. See you around. "oops I was practicing and accidentally managed to only destroy a little box and not everyone on the island with my laser beam. That had become almost pedestrian, while this was fun. Taylor knew she didn't have long and tried to write the shortest thing that would point at Sophia. Finding a bottle of nail polish remover she looked quizzically at it, shrugged, then tried it. Do you want to come in? she asked. It would be a considerably darker story that Taylor Varga although not to the level of unrelenting grimness that canon Worm is. Now, I'm not necessarily looking for just a power wank, but a story that is actually good and deals with the entire thing realistically and reasonably. Brockton Bay is a great retirement spot, right? "I can see where people might find it a little unusual. Like I said, in my opinion shes a better person than you are. How such a human sounding voice came from a face like that he had no idea. I can't change what was. At least she has his bullsh!t powers to back it up. Assault paused, something shiny off to the right catching his eye as he moved over the rooftops of the outskirts of the central business area of Brockton Bay. I don't know, like she's been around for a long time. Are you going to go after Sophia? he added after some thought, tensing a little just to be on the safe side. As far as Im concerned that entire thing was four centuries ago and I dont hold a grudge that long, generally. Eh, if you use magic like a bard, sing like a bard, fight like a bard, everyone around you thinks you are a bard and there's no other elements to your build other than those of a bard then you are not a demigod. Nothing happened for a while. Medical, financial, chemistry, biology, and physics data repositories, astrophysics, mathematics, you name it. He kept discreetly studying her while she looked back out over the water at the rising sun. Fuck me, this is ridiculous, Assault mumbled, looking at the results so far. Like literally in the D&D sense. While we've done our best to make the core functionality of this site accessible without javascript, it will work better with it enabled. Lowered because of it being restricted to arthropods but even so, its global and absolute. Bitterly regretting her decision to go for a coffee before calling her sister for a pickup from a payphone, she stopped and listened carefully for a second or two, then looked around frantically. It would have been fairly quick, I believe, he added after a moment. But that won't stop her from flying as high as she can. Thats more than a little worrying. Only the droning of her wings was audible, if barely, and even that faded into the background shortly thereafter. Wildworm A psuedo-tinker from Wildstorm appears in Brockton. You can call me Hive. Wracking her brain, Amy couldnt recall any cape of that name. The fire spread very fast, most of that wing of the building was already gone by the time the first responders arrived.

Rile is a pretty sensible guy; he knows not to mess with the powerhouse and just try to get through the day as he can. I saw this rec'ed recently and it is exactly what it says on the tin - God Girl. He waited silently, thinking there was something vaguely familiar about this. Wings? The neural processing backing the sensory system up was unbelievably complex compared to a human visual cortex. Not right now. She has absolutely no reason to lie and nothing to gain from it. Those would seem to be the two most likely scenarios, Armsmaster agreed. Sounds pretty banal, right? He watched as the wasp crawled around on her finger, then did a little dance, each leg extending in turn and waving in a circle. In a way. Assault sat there for a while during which she went back to watching the wasps dance in the air. Some thought that a trigger event was the traumatic part of getting powers. Muggers!? They looked at him, making him shrug. No. So you're not human, then? he asked. Agent Carl Rile rather enjoyed stake-outs. Master 8? Assault nodded vigorously. Yes, princes were always her favorite; after all, they were the only ones allowed to kiss the princesses awake. Energy generation ex nihilo sounds a lot like the [SOLUTION] though.

"I never try to do anything, I swear i never try to hurt anyone,I swear, I swear that i'm a good kid, Yeah, Taylor that's a good one. There was a pause, then the first one replied, Never mind, must have imagined it. Amy looked up towards the position the sound come from before it stopped and thought she saw something move against the stars. More accurately, arthropod control, with a few additions. And we have no idea how fast she can fly. Armsmaster looked thoughtful as he inspected the monitor next to the one showing Dragons avatar on which she was summarizing the results of the discussion. Thats a lot of data. Several hundred exabytes at least just in the public facing servers, yes, she admitted. The exoskeleton seemed to be made primarily of carbon, in the shape of incredible monomolecular structures, all biologically created. Unknown attacker. About what? The internet. She sighed. Fast acting. Just a feeling. A feeling? he asked curiously. An Idiot's Guide to the Underworld [Worm/Hades]. You must log in or register to reply here. We may have been unable to prove it before, but if and when I can rectify that She smiled unpleasantly. He looked around once more and when he looked back the moth was gone. Not least of which was the fact that one of her tormentors worked for you guys. Sophia, he muttered. I hope it finds its audience! Its very subtle but its everywhere if you know what to look for. She began a dive for the door, only to feel a sudden pinprick on the back of her left hand. Honest. He couldnt entirely disagree with any of the points she raised. I only got back today, you see, she added, and I thought I'd come here first. They were mixed with some sort of metal in a repeating pattern that defied easy analysis.
