Chapter 179
She’d only seen it for a few brief moments. Not long enough to appreciate it. Not long enough to take it in. Her eyelids felt heavy as she rested her hand against the smooth surface of the door and reached into her purse on instinct for her keys. Her fingers ran down before stopping, a brief moment of panic vanishing into a bemused chuckle when she remembered she didn’t need them. She rest ...

The two fighters stared one another down from across the enormous room. The chamber, if you could even call it that, was a oval-shaped space with a hard concrete floor and a solid dome of the same material covering it. Etchings across the surface of the dome and floor glowed faintly even in the persistent light that did not seem to have a notable source. Throughout the area were structures, cub...

Sonya sat in silence at the desk in the room she’d occupied as the portal began to open up behind her. She rested her elbows on the surface, her hands under her chin as she stared at the wall in thought. The panel of white light parted and spread open, distending until it became a formless off-white void that rippled within the panel. A moment later Colin stepped through, dragging Drastic alo...

Without having even having tested herself against many in the way of monsters or heroes, Sonya was aware that she was one of the most powerful light-touched on Earth. It wasn’t her own arrogance, it was simply a fact. She possessed a wider suite of abilities than most, though there were some who had more versatility than even she possessed. It was one of the reasons that she had started colle...

A few hours earlier…
Sonya’s return to New York had been a whirlwind of activity since the moment she left the others behind at the Guild Hall. Marta had already gone on ahead to the apartment and left Sonya with a bit of time to herself. Her first stop, without question, was her favorite burger place where she shamelessly ordered at the counter with everyone staring at her in confusi...

BOOOOM!
The earth shook and rocks were thrown into the air, boulders the size of cars hurtling through the air as the cliff exploded. The wind whipped past Mephisto’s ears whilst he completed his backflip, landing on one of the hurtling rocks and looking down at the crater that had been left behind. He adjusted his tie and grinned. Not far away, sparks of electricity crackled in the air...

The office that Charon had set aside for Ishtar when she was visiting the Styx was, for lack of a better word, dramatic. The room was made entirely out of an almost luminous white marble, from floor to ceiling, giving it the illusion of being an isolated void. The door leading into the room was set in seamlessly so that when it shut behind her it emphasized the isolating effect. Within the room...

Ishtar turned away from the glass and with a thought the cooling system inside the helmet began to wind down, a low hiss of pressure releasing came out of it. She rolled her neck and reached up to touch it, the helmet suddenly turning a sharp shade of blue before dissolving into millions of tiny cubes of blue light. They scattered in the air, returning to her storage space. She reached up and t...

UUNS! UUNS! UUNS!
The thrumming beat rippled through the building, the base pounding against skin and sending the dancers into a frenzy. Men and women from all walks of life and backgrounds crashed against one another as the light flashed and a multicolored glow washed over them in the otherwise dark chamber. There were screams of laughter, gasps, shouts, and howls of excitement....

City air was the first thing that greeted Sonya as she stepped through the portal, her eyes fluttering against the change in light. She’d figured it would be brighter in Green Bank but the reflections off the buildings in New York added another level of intensity. The growing chill in the air didn’t help, as far north as they were. Still, she took a deep breath and savored the urban atmosph...

Is this really happening? Greg thought as he walked down the hallway. They’d finally made it inside and he couldn’t be more baffled by his immediate company. Most of his ‘security team’ were walking at a comfortable distance, Hammond and Locke were pretty anti-social it seemed. He wondered if they’d be better with civilians or if they signed up for this role because they...

The first thing that Greg realized as he stepped through the portal was that dungeon portals were something special. He’d been into the camp dungeon several times after the raid, learning about it, about how the space inside worked, and practicing against the monsters. The portal into the dungeon had been seamless, he hadn’t felt a thing as he’d come and gone. It was like stepping over a ...

The trees coating the mountains that surrounded the campsite had begun to turn a myriad of colors. Reds and yellows spread out as far as the eye could see. Sonya took a deep breath of the slightly chilly fall air and tugged her coat up a bit closer around her neck. Behind her, Marta carried the few pieces of luggage that they didn’t just send off with one of her portals. They had to make it l...

“Val Kinton, Pyrolysis.”
Lillian turned to Val and smiled at him, patting his shoulder. He shot a grin in her direction as he got to his feet, walking from the line of chairs set up in front of the huge crowd. She watched him ascend the steps as his parents came out to meet him. Behind them, her parents were waiting. She was next. Her fingers tangled together in her lap and she looked...

Made some modifications to chapter 167 after some very valid points were brought up. I hope this helps!

Well, now isn’t she just marvelous? That new ability is fancy too, very pretty. He thought with a smile, admiring the killing machine that he had created. He wondered why he hadn’t thought of it before. Was it because of the guide? He turned away from her and gave her a gesture of dismissal. A polite nod was her only response as she slipped away and joined the crowd. It wouldn...
