POV: Ish
Ish captured
Hallucinating while being dragged through desert
Fourth man from helicopter, operating solely on 'programming' as a HIVE drone.
Ends with Ish being loaded into a transport, thinking it's medical, only to realize it's HIVE.

The moon had changed position in the sky. Dr. David Isherwood forced his eyes to follow the pale orb above his head, struggling to regain consciousness fully. Slade's plan had made sense, however, what Ish didn't anticipate was the stray bullet that struck him when his Ikon suit overloaded. With no defences, the bullet had been able to pass unhindered, burying itself deep into his shoulder. Another three inches down, and Ish wouldn't be breathing, let alone processing why he was moving.

Why was he moving?

Ish flashback? Establish the old guard dynamic between Slade, Wintergreen and Ish?
Flashback ends, revealing it was Ish's way of building a mental fortress to protect against HIVE torture/mind probes.

Armed men lined the streets of Al-Doha forcing the pair of operatives into the shadows of the nearby alley. The Quraci capital was in a complete state of turmoil. Sulieman's forces had placed the city under lockdown due to threats against the dictator's own life. Waller had sent Slade and Wintergreen in as a part of a special task force to help General Marlo overthrow the dictator.

-Helicopter crash
-Search for Ish
-Pilots dead, something oozing from ears
-Madripoor, Vlatava, Markovia
-Note that Team 7 has been officially ordered not to intervene in the Legion of Doom's activities.
-Introduce the mission better, talk about H.I.V.E.
-Bury bodies
-Take uniforms and boots, team walks in pairs to cover tracks and make it seem like the pilots escaped and went AWOL.

POV: Crawford
-Crawford, Lance and Daniels continue to search for Ish, seeing him loaded onto a transport before being ambushed and subsequently captured.

Interaction(s): None
POV: Wintergreen or Fairchild

The first real piece of evidence that supported the existence of H.I.V.E. had been found by Team 7 in Vlatava. The trail then picked up in Markovia only to lead to Madripoor. From Madripoor the team had been able to make the connection to Qurac, which lead them to the rising tensions with its neighbouring country of Bialya.

-Post covers the link to H.I.V.E., introduces drones and the hierarchy before like the rest of the team, Slade, Wintergreen and Fairchild are captured. This post ends Issue 1 and leads into Honey Despot.

During the height of the first World War, the Allied Forces gained the upper hand from an unlikely source; an Amazonian Princess hailing from the island of Themyscria. To outsiders, Themyscria was the mythical 'Paradise Island', home to only beautiful Amazon women, or so the story went. It was only when Captain Steve Trevor was shot down and crashed on the shores of Paradise Island, that Themyscria went from legend to reality. With the aid of Princess Diana of Themyscria, the Allied Forces gained the upper hand and ultimately triumphed in the first World War.

Princess Diana, dubbed 'Wonder Woman' by the media of the time, returned home after the war, having seen enough of 'Man's World'. It was at this time other Amazonians began to wonder about the world beyond the island's shores and so as Wonder Woman and her successors came and went from the island for their adventures, so too did others.

Desiring to see the world outside of Themyscria; the Amazonian, Aella, ventured beyond the shores of Paradise Island and sought out their sister tribe in Brazil. It was here that Aella was seduced by a local deity and would give birth to the child later named Yara Flor. Unfortunately for Yara, her mother was taken from her when she was young, leaving her in the care of her 'Aunt' Renata. Relocating to the United States, Yara would grow up without knowing of her true heritage. To the outside world and even herself, Yara Flor was just an ordinary farm girl living in the small community of Boise, Idaho. As she began to mature, her gifts manifested resulting in speed, strength and other abilities that Renata had not been prepared to deal with. Keeping these things a secret from the world, Yara never revealed them to anyone else until one fateful night, a night when a blonde warrior woman crashed into the fields of Renata's farm.

Five years ago, the world was introduced to a new Wonder Woman when Cassandra Sandsmark took up her mentor's mantle and helped defend the Earth alongside the other heroes who would go on to become the Justice League. This is the same Wonder Woman who would eventually appear above Renata's farm in Idaho. Flying upon a winged steed, Cassandra crashed into the potato fields before being introduced to Yara, asking for the younger Amazonian's help before passing into a state of unconsciousness.

Back in 2018, Master Bruce hosted a little roleplay known as Ultimate One Universe. It had a similar concept to this one and in it, I played a reimagined version of Thor. Aside from making me known for writing sex scenes, it was one of my most successful runs in these style of games and I genuinely had a lot of fun doing it. Now, Sep is doing a fantastic job as Thor in this game, so much so that I find myself with the itch to dive back into the mythological side of things. Enter Yara Flor. A relatively new character, Yara has a lot of unexplored stories and a relative amount of freedom to go with her.

While I will continue to portray Slade, I want to alternate between writing arcs for the two characters. Where Slade I see as a more slow-burn character, given the intention of his stories, Yara has the potential for quicker story beats and more interaction. A big portion of the drive to play her is to interact with Thor and some of the other heavy hitters Slade wouldn't likely be in contact with.

The pushing idea behind Yara is that she has her destiny thrust upon her in the form of the latest Wonder Woman, Cassandra Sandsmark, crashing into her farm field. With Cassie as a mentor and guiding figure, Yara will slowly become Wonder Woman all while battling her way through whatever mythological and legendary fun I can throw at her. I'm excited to dive into her South American roots and explore a side of mythology less trodden. Everyone has seen Norse, Greek and Egyptian done many times over. But South American mythology is a collection of overlapping and intertwining stories that are as colourful as the culture.

Yara Flor has lived her whole life looking for something more. That something came in the form of the current Wonder Woman, Cassandra Sandsmark, crash landing into the field outside of Yara's aunt's farm in rural Boise, Idaho. Now drawn into a strange new world filled with gods and mortals, Yara has to find her place in all of it and navigate her true ancestry.

"Yako ajaw Camazotz!"

"Yako ajaw Camazotz!"


"Yako ajaw Camazotz!"

The chanting grew louder as Cassandra moved further into the cavern. The youngest of the four Amazons to have ever earned the champion title of Wonder Woman, the blonde-haired warrior was no stranger to the South American continent. In years past, she had accompanied her mortal mother on more than one archeological dig south of the Equator. Perhaps it was her familiarity with the myths of this region that was creating the cold sweat on the back of her neck. Nearly twenty years ago, Cassandra would have dismissed all myths as humans trying to explain away that which they didn't yet understand. However, discovering that your own father was Zeus and training on a hidden island filled with Amazons under the protection of Hera sort of reframes your world views.

Even still, the name 'Camazotz' sent a shiver down Cassandra's spine. Her mentor, Donna Troy had done everything she could to prepare Cassie for this mission, but even still it wasn't every day that you're sent to try and negotiate a truce between warring pantheons.

Maybe I should have tapped Thor for an assist?

The thought was fleeting. Queen Nubia; no, not even Donna would hear any of it. Man, whether human or simply just male, only further caused wars. It was the role of the Wonder Woman to keep the peace. Bringing Thor along would have been seen as an act of aggression on what should be a simple diplomatic mission.

Once upon a time, the gods sat across from each other in the Parliament of Pantheons, high above Omnipotence City. There gods like Chaac and Tupã sat across from Odin and Zeus. But while the people still remembered the works of Odin and Zeus, Chaac and Tupã had faded into obscurity and so too had their powers faded. No longer able to hold a seat in the Parliament, their thrones were removed, leaving behind a power vacuum. A vacuum only too happily filled by those seeking to expand their power, those seeking to rise above.

Those like Camazotz.

Crawling on the rough stone beneath her, Cassie soon found an opening that expanded into a larger cavern within the cave. In the center of the cavern was a massive pit filled with swirling energy. Crackling beams of violet and vermilion emanated from the edge of the pit while a black cloud of screeching bats filled flew amongst the stalactites above.

"Yako ajaw Camazotz!"

The chanting continued while Cassie surveyed the scene below. Surrounding the energy-filled chasm were numerous figures robed in what had to be ceremonial garb. Drums vibrated through the numerous tunnels filling the cave as Cassandra's eyes widened. Beyond those surrounding the pit, more robed figures stood in the tunnels beyond the larger cavern.

Her hand instinctually moved towards her weapon.

No, bad Cassie! You're here for a diplomatic approach.

Without warning the bats clinging to the stony ceiling stopped screeching. A cold wind whistled through the cave bringing about the end of the chanting and sending shivers up Cassandra's spine. Darkness overtook the claustrophobic space as almost all of the torches below were extinguished, save for one. What once had been a noisy din, was now as silent as the grave. Cassandra suddenly feared breathing, lest she be discovered.

Below, the figure holding the last illuminated torch stepped forward. The light danced across their crocodile-shaped mask, the sharp angles and groves casting eerie shadows around the cavern walls.

"<Lord Camazotz, we bring this offering to restore your strength and beckon you to return to this world to bring about your great Eternal Night.>"1 The crocodile-masked figure stated into the swirling void below. Motioning with their free hand, Cassie nearly gasped as a woman in white was dragged through the crowd. From her position, Cassandra watched while the woman fought against her captors and bonds to no avail.

"<Relax, child. Soon your sacrifice will have a higher purpose.>" With a simple shrug, the crocodile-masked figure pushed the woman into the maelstrom below. Cassandra let out a gasp as the energy engulfed the woman, tearing her apart layer by layer. Raw energy erupted from the pit, illuminating the room in hues of amethyst.

"You have brought me the wrong woman." The voice thundered through the cavern. Cassie could feel it buzzing in the back of her skull. It should have been coming from the pit, but it felt as though it was coming from everywhere.

"The sacrifice needs to contain the blood born of my enemy if I am to enter the mortal plane."

Cassie began to claw at the back of her skull, she needed the voice out of her head.

Hera, give me strength

"Interloper!." The voice rang through her skull, whispering and screaming all, like a chorus of the anguished and tormented. Cassandra could have sworn at that moment that the formless energy in the void below turned to look directly at her.

"Sieze her!"

That was her cue to leave, the time for diplomacy was over. Donna would be disappointed, but at least Cassandra had a firm grasp on what exactly was happening here. Dropping into the cavern, Cassandra pulled the blade from its sheath. With a twist of her hand, Cassandra felt the hilt of the narrow leaf-like blade extend to a full spear shaft. Spinning the polearm around, the current Wonder Woman managed to keep her attackers at bay.

"Hephaestus really does make the best toys," She called to the mob attempting to gain ground on her. Delivering a blow of the celestial bronze forged shaft to the chin of a robed figure who got too close, Cassandra managed to use their stunned form to toss it into those nearest her exit.

Moving down the tunnel back towards where she came in, Cassandra could hear her pursuers gaining on her. Putting two fingers to her mouth, she let out a sharp whistle. The sound of wing beats filled the end of the tunnel as Cassandra saw her ride appear. Summoning her strength, she retracted her weapon and sprinted to the end. Leaping onto the back of the winged horse, she vanished into the night sky, the cultists behind her becoming nothing more than twinkling flames in the distance.

Next stop, the one born of the blood of Camazotz's enemy.

Jolting awake, Yara's eyes slowly adjusted to the unfamiliar darkness. At first, her surroundings were almost foreign, the smells too clean, too natural and the world outside was far too quiet. These were just the first few hints that Yara was no longer in her apartment. Clues continued to fall in the forms of the faded Jonas Brothers poster to one of Bieber and even a half-hung One Direction graphic. This dim room could only be the bedroom she grew up in. The world outside was not the bustling city of Boise, it was rural Idaho, more specifically the farm belonging to her Aunt and Uncle.

None of that changed the fact that for Yara, it was still markedly too quiet.

It had been getting harder for Yara to sleep over the past few nights. Her dreams were haunted with visions of bat-like eldritch horrors and their horrible screeches. There was a longing within her that she wasn't sure how to sate, a calling to travel away from this quaint life. A calling to an adventure far from here.

Perhaps her need for adventure rose from the simple fact that no one was looking to hire here in Boise. Any job that wasn't helping her Aunt Renata work the potato fields would certainly feel like an adventure at this point. An exasperated sigh escaped from between her pouting lips blowing a few loose strands of her raven-coloured hair away from her face. Yara had already put in six years between her undergraduate and graduate degrees while still fully knowing she had yet another two years of clinical experience before she'd be a fully certified speech pathologist.

It honestly felt like her life was stuck at the starting line.

Slumping down on the porch swing, the young woman let the cool night air wash over her while she sipped a half-finished tea absently left beside her bed. Yara's mind pivoted away from both school and her lack of a career as a brown bat stretched its wings under the porch's awning. The sight of the flying rodent only sent her thoughts racing back to the series of nightmares that had been haunting her slumber.

Watching the curious creature, she couldn't help but feel as though the bat was seemingly staring back at her. Flapping its wings, it let out a little screech before dropping from its roost and disappearing into the night. Sinking further into the cushioned swing, Yara felt herself relax. It was only now that she realized she had been so stiffly watching the bat. Satisfied she wasn't about to face the monsters of from her nightmares, she took another sip of the lukewarm liquid. The flat taste caused her nose to crinkle in disgust, reminding her why it had been abandoned in the first place.

A terrible noise suddenly broke the silence. The horrible tasting drink suddenly seemed so far away. The sound of wings beating against the night air ended the stillness of the cool night as Yara spun around frantically looking to locate the sound. Above the horizon, in the light of the pale moon, appeared the silhouette of what appeared to be a horse. Its lone rider, slumped alongside the horse's mane, seemingly barely hanging on.

Losing altitude rapidly, the animal tried with no avail to land. Its feet flew up from underneath it, only to send both it and its rider tumbling through the nearly mature potato plants. Jumping down from the porch, Yara moved quickly through the rows upon rows of plants, making the split-second decision to check on the rider instead of the winged animal.

The rider, a blonde-haired woman, was adorned in armour. Very familiar armour. Almost anyone in America would have recognized Wonder Woman, but Yara especially was a fan. Kneeling down beside Cassandra, Yara cradled her head, checking the neck for injury.

"I've got you," Yara muttered towards the unconscious woman. Her eyes widened as she surveyed the wounds on both the superhero and her steed. Long claw marks raked them both, claw marks that were all too familiar to Yara. Without warning, Cassandra suddenly clamped a hand around Yara's arm nearly scaring the darker-haired woman out of her skin.

"I'm here to protect-" The blonde Amazon managed to spit out, struggling to stay conscious, "...y-you." She added before her eyes closed, her body going limp in Yara's arms. Looking back and forth again between the pegasus and the superhero in her Aunt's field, Yara suddenly found herself unusually short on words.

Suddenly her nightmares were feeling a lot more real.

Heavy rain beat against the penthouse skylight threatening to drown the sounds within. Red neon from the district lining the streets turned the droplets a deep crimson, the beading water hauntingly similar to blood. It was apt that the streets of New Lilith ran red with blood. The Mavericks had been driven out of their home, forced to go their separate ways.

More than ever did his home feel as if it needed them. Though they had toppled the kingpin, the power vacuum left in his wake created turmoil on the streets of the towering gothic city.

Pacing back and forth, Charles 'Chuck' Michaels clenched his right arm against his chest. Squeezing and releasing his left hand, he tried to will the hairline fracture running along his radius to heal. His hand quivered as the cravings returned. With Locke and his ilk behind bars, it had been too long since IllAdvised had fought another hyperhuman.

Lord Wraith Actually Three Otters in a Trenchcoat

Member Seen 6 hrs ago

>Flashback 1 - Chuck and Richard (Origin of IllAdvised name, the quote by Richard)
"Always be good, Charles, no matter how ill-advised it might seem."
"Sometimes the risk is worth a few ill-advised actions."
>Flashback 2 - First time Chuck's hyperhuman abilities activate at school, talking to Sam when her boyfriend at the time intervenes threatening Chuck and activating his abilities
>Flashback 3 - The night the Mavericks met, the first time Chuck duplicated a superpower, the addictiveness of that kind of power flowing through him.
>Flashback 4 - The helplessness of watching Gecko killed at the hands of Tony
>Flashback 5 - Falling from the roof at the hand of a mind-controlled Angel
>Flashback 6 - Defeating The Obnoxious Man
>Flashback 7 - The final confrontation with Locke

Snapback to reality, Locke's trial on the TV, charges are being laid but it's not enough for Chuck, not after the deaths of Xander and Nathan (Gecko). His phones lights up, it's a text from Drew "U up?".

Scene switches to a crime in process. Suddenly a woman appears, blasting a path of ice across their way. Detoured, the men move down another path only for a wall of flame to block their path. Routed again, they try to go another way only to be stopped by a hooded figure in a billowing cape. Smoke seems to billow all around him, creating an unsettling atmosphere. Grates hiss and emit steam as he walks by (result of Glitch tapping into the city's old boiler systems).

The Demon of New Lilith had come for their souls. His eyes glow with an unsettling fire beneath his hood, his massive wings (cape) drag along the ground as he comes close and fire runs along either side of the alley.



The rain continued to beat mercilessly against the penthouse windows. Using one hand to rub both of his temples, Charles 'Chuck' Michaels fumbled blindly with the other for the freshly brewed Americano that had been prepared for him. Each droplet of rain against the glass felt like a bullet to his skull, the heads-up display in the new cowl wasn't quite perfected yet and last night he had taken a rifle butt directly to the bridge of his nose. Physical damage to Chuck's face was minimal at best, but the HUD had been on the fritz for the rest of his patrol.

Continuing to massage his eyes as the first sip of coffee burned his tongue, Chuck eased his way from the large kitchen into the leather reclining facing the generously sized television. A hiss from the espresso machine caught Chuck off guard as he turned, looking back towards the island dividing the kitchen from his living space.

The boy's eyes watched his mother intently, studying her body language. She paced back and forth across the kitchen from behind their island, keeping as much physical space as possible between her and her husband.

"You don't understand, if the motion had gone through this technology could have been abused and millions would have suffered." The man pleaded. "Becks, I can't stress to you how much Locke can't acquire the company, let alone this technology."

"But if it was, the payout would be substantial enough to leave New Lilith." Even the young boy could tell there was fear in his mother's voice as she continued to implore her husband. "Richard, we could go west to California far away from this damned city and Roman Locke." Her voice lowered to a hush as she noted the small, piercing blue eyes watching from the living room.

"I'd still be responsible," Richard argued.

"Enough!" Rebecca snapped, the glass in her hand quivered as she quickly emptied it before picking up the bottle of white on the counter beside her. "I can't keep doing this, and especially not in front of Chuck."

"Do what you have to, Richard, but I will not sit idly by and watch you make me a widow," Rebecca added before storming out of the room.

"Why is mommy so mad?" A small voice broke the silence. Richard let out a sign, and for a moment, Chuck could have sworn he saw the weight on his father's shoulders lighten.

"Mommy is afraid more than anything," His father explained as Richard took a seat beside Chuck. "Sometimes in life, you come up against situations where you have to make a tough choice."

"Like choosing your favourite lightsaber colour?" Chuck asked, tilting his head while listening intently.

"Tougher than even that, Charles," Richard replied with a soft smile. "A very powerful man wants to buy my company, a company that I have spent a very long time building up in order to hopefully one day pass it on to you. The thing is, he's really not all that interested in the company. He wants my personal project, a project that in the wrong hands could lead to a lot of bad things happening."

Chuck pursed his lips and furrowed his brow, thinking through his father's answers.

"If it can lead to bad things, why are you doing it?" He finally asked. A soft chuckle escaped Richard's lips before he replied.

"Because sometimes, the risk is worth a few ill-advised actions."


The vibration of his phone against the quartz countertop sent a nail through his skull and brought Chuck back to the present as jolted upright. The hot coffee sloshed against the rim of the mug, spilling over and burning his hand. Stumbling forward, Chuck shook his hand, the burn no more than a nuisance but the sudden movement quickly reminded Chuck of the hairline fracture running along his right radius. With a guttural growl, the man clenched his forearm against his chest before he continued to hobble towards the buzzing device.

Arriving too late to pick up the call, Chuck watched as it lit up with yet another voicemail from Bryce. That was five now by his count. He knew he was letting their start-up down, but he wasn't any good to them in this mood and not today of all days.

"...And when we're out of this place," Bryce explained excitedly, "We can do our own little start-up, you and me handling hardware and," He paused as the pair rounded the corner towards their lockers. There in the hallway, both boys paused as Samantha Russells walked toward them. Chuck in particular was taken with Sam, Bryce full well knew the other boy had been absolutely smitten with her since the second grade.

"Sam," Chuck added as Bryce shot him a smirk.

"Yeah, and Sam handling software," He quickly elbowed Chuck in the ribs, "Which does of course mean you're going to have to learn to hold an actual conversation with her." Without warning, Bryce gave Chuck a shove in Sam's direction. "And there's no time like the present."

Stumbling forward, Chuck nearly lost his balance as textbooks slide out from under his arm. Fumbling the laptop in his hands, he managed to save it from the floor, unlike the advanced calculus text that now laid open at Sam's feet.

"Need a hand, Chuck?" Sam asked, extending an arm toward the other teenager.

"Thanks," He answered, accepting the hand as he stood up, "Sorry about that, I must have tripped," He lied only for Sam to laugh.

"I'm pretty sure I saw Bryce shove you, he's kind of obtuse sometimes isn't he?"

"He's really not that bad of a guy, he just thinks he's funny," Chuck replied, looking over his shoulder to shoot Bryce a glare while the other teenager responded with a quick thumbs up.

"I'm heading to the computer lab if you wanted to walk me to class," Sam smiled as Chuck nodded a bit too eagerly.


The sound of the gavel on the television brought Chuck back to the present. His eyes felt heavy, if it continued like this he'd need something stronger than coffee to wake him up.

There was a good chance he was concussed.

When the team had been together, Maki had always ensured they had gotten the rest and treatment they needed, without that accountability, Chuck was able to get away with stretching himself too thin and allowing his injuries to pile up.

The trial of Roman Locke had been ongoing for weeks now. At times it felt like the former crimelord was going to sway the jury and walk out of the courthouse a freeman. But lately, more and more it seemed like any support he had was falling through. Locke had ruled New Lilith with an iron fist and with that kind of power came to the ability to literally get away with murder.

Nathan's

Xander's

His father's

And countless others. For nearly three decades, Roman Locke had been untouchable.

A tremor in his hand caused Chuck to wince. The shakes had been getting stronger every day since the other two had left. Even before Locke had been brought down, Chuck had begun feeling the cravings, the addiction creeping in and taking hold. In those days, the Mavericks were regularly fighting other hyperhumans, the Behemoth, Mindwarp, Overload and $hakra to name a few. It had been months since Chuck had unleashed his own abilities to their fullest potential. Months since he had felt that kind of power flow through his veins.

It was in those moments that he could understand how someone like Roman Locke came to be. It was how someone with so much power could be so far removed from the harm they caused to others. The first time that Chuck had tasted that kind of power he had nearly lost control. It was only through training and sparring with Makarios and Thomas that Chuck eventually learned to center himself and not allow the strength to consume him.

"...And on the account of the murder of Richard Michaels, we the jury find the defendant guilty in the first degree."

Chuck should have been feeling relief, Locke was going to be convicted. But instead, only rage filled his chest. The mug shattered against beside the television screen, its contents staining the wall as pieces of ceramic littered the hardwood below.

Seething, Chuck moved to stand only to pause as his other phone lit up.


Giving his fracture another squeeze, Chuck rose from his chair.

He was going out.

Stumbling forward, Chuck shook his hand, the burn no more than a nuisance but the sudden movement quickly reminded Chuck of the hairline fracture running along his right radius. With a guttural growl, the man clenched his forearm against his chest before he continued to hobble towards the buzzing device.

Arriving too late to pick up the call, Chuck watched as it lit up with yet another voicemail from Bryce. That was five now by his count. He knew he was letting their start-up down, but he wasn't any good to them in this mood and not today of all days.
"...And when we're out of this place," Bryce explained excitedly, "We can do our own little start-up, you and me handling hardware and," He paused as the pair rounded the corner towards their lockers. There in the hallway, both boys paused as Samantha Russells walked toward them. Chuck in particular was taken with Sam, Bryce full well knew the other boy had been absolutely smitten with her since the second grade.

"Sam," Chuck added as Bryce shot him a smirk.

"Yeah, and Sam handling software," He quickly elbowed Chuck in the ribs, "Which does of course mean you're going to have to learn to hold an actual conversation with her." Without warning, Bryce gave Chuck a shove in Sam's direction. "And there's no time like the present."

Stumbling forward, Chuck nearly lost his balance as textbooks slide out from under his arm. Fumbling the laptop in his hands, he managed to save it from the floor, unlike the advanced calculus text that now laid open at Sam's feet.

"Thanks," He answered, accepting the hand as he stood up, "Sorry about that, I must have tripped," He lied only for Sam to laugh.

"I'm pretty sure I saw Bryce shove you, he's kind of obtuse sometimes isn't he?"

"He's really not that bad of a guy, he just thinks he's funny," Chuck replied, looking over his shoulder to shoot Bryce a glare while the other teenager responded with a quick thumbs up.

"I'm heading to the computer lab if you wanted to walk me to class," Sam smiled as Chuck nodded a bit too eagerly.
.....................................................

...
The sound of the gavel on the television brought Chuck back to the present. His eyes felt heavy, if it continued like this he'd need something stronger than coffee to wake him up.

There was a good chance he was concussed.

When the team had been together, Maki had always ensured they had gotten the rest and treatment they needed, without that accountability, Chuck was able to get away with stretching himself too thin and allowing his injuries to pile up.

The trial of Roman Locke had been ongoing for weeks now. At times it felt like the former crimelord was going to sway the jury and walk out of the courthouse a freeman. But lately, more and more it seemed like any support he had was falling through. Locke had ruled New Lilith with an iron fist and with that kind of power came to the ability to literally get away with murder.

Nathan's

Xander's

His father's

And countless others. For nearly three decades, Roman Locke had been untouchable.

A tremor in his hand caused Chuck to wince. The shakes had been getting stronger every day since the other two had left. Even before Locke had been brought down, Chuck had begun feeling the cravings, the addiction creeping in and taking hold. In those days, the Mavericks were regularly fighting other hyperhumans, the Behemoth, Mindwarp, Overload and $hakra to name a few. It had been months since Chuck had unleashed his own abilities to their fullest potential. Months since he had felt that kind of power flow through his veins.

It was in those moments that he could understand how someone like Roman Locke came to be. It was how someone with so much power could be so far removed from the harm they caused to others. The first time that Chuck had tasted that kind of power he had nearly lost control. It was only through training and sparring with Makarios and Thomas that Chuck eventually learned to center himself and not allow the strength to consume him.

"...And on the account of the murder of Richard Michaels, we the jury find the defendant guilty in the first degree."

Chuck should have been feeling relief, Locke was going to be convicted. But instead, only rage filled his chest. The mug shattered against beside the television screen, its contents staining the wall as pieces of ceramic littered the hardwood below.

Seething, Chuck moved to stand only to pause as his other phone lit up.


Giving his fracture another squeeze, Chuck rose from his chair.

He was going out.

Scene switches to a crime in process. Suddenly a woman appears, blasting a path of ice across their way. Detoured, the men move down another path only for a wall of flame to block their path. Routed again, they try to go another way only to be stopped by a hooded figure in a billowing cape. Smoke seems to billow all around him, creating an unsettling atmosphere. Grates hiss and emit steam as he walks by (result of Glitch tapping into the city's old boiler systems).

The Demon of New Lilith had come for their souls. His eyes glow with an unsettling fire beneath his hood, his massive wings (cape) drag along the ground as he comes close and fire runs along either side of the alley.


The smell of vomit quickly overwhelmed the stale air of the boiler room beneath the apartment building the Mavericks had called home since uniting against the criminal underworld of New Lilith. Breathing heavy, Chuck braced him against a nearby pipe, the cool metal was soothing against his forehead while his stomach fought the urge not to produce a second expulsion of bile. Beside him, Makarios stood silently, the footage having left the other Maverick rendered speechless. From his other side, Chuck felt Thomas radiating with anger, the larger man's hands balled into fists as he stood, burning eyes locked on the static image. The monitors in front of three young men sat paused on the final frame of the video message.

The displayed picture sat frozen as it was magnified across the wall of linked screens Chuck used to coordinate the team and strategize before patrols. But tonight, the screens showed their now former teammate, Gecko; his limp body leaned forward in a wooden chair, slumped lifelessly against the restraints around his wrists and ankles. Behind him stood the hulk of a man known as the Behemoth, his hands having only just released Nathan's head from between them. The head that now sat twisted at an unnatural angle.

"They're going to regret this," Chuck began to mutter as the colour returned to his cheeks. "Locke is going to pay for all the blood on his hands, I don't know how they got a hold of Gecko but we're not going to let our friend go into that dark night without giving his murderers hell."

Pushing off the pipe he had been using to hold himself up, Chuck allowed grim resolve to replace horror as the Maverick leader began to bark orders to his two closest confidants.

"Makarios, rally the others, I don't care if they're in the middle of patrol, get them back here now." Turning towards Angel, Chuck opened his mouth to speak but realized it was wasted breath. Thomas had succumbed to his grief and his rage. Gecko had been like another brother to Thomas and often Thomas had mentioned how much Nathan reminded him of Jason.

Turning the monitors back to their usual live feeds, Chuck watched Angel cut across the sky heading towards the source of the video message. They had already lost one teammate tonight, he could only hope Angel's decision wasn't about to cost them another.


Lightning lit up the New Lilith skyline illuminating the hooded figure moving swiftly across the city's rooftops through the downpour. The scalloped cape billowed about behind him as IllAdvised moved like a ghoul through the night. Stopping atop St. Hillian's Cathedral, he leered about the streets below from atop one of the old church's numerous gargoyles. New Lilith had changed since Locke's fall from his unholy throne. The way the city breathed was more laboured, not used to functioning without a vice grip around her throat. Without Locke's iron fist guiding the city's rudder, it was in turmoil.

But turmoil bred conflict and right now, conflict was all IllAdvised had to thrive on.

Sirens were a constant sound in New Lilith, but they were scarcely headed toward where they were actually needed. More often than not, you followed the sirens to get away from whatever lawbreaking was being carried out. Which meant the quietest, darkest corners of New Lilith were where crime started and grew until it was all-consuming.

Retracting the cape, IllAdvised lept from his perch, bat-like wings extending from either side of his armour carrying the vigilante across the alleys below. The coordinates sent to his phone had been for a central part of town. Using a combination of grapple and gliding, IllAdvised traversed the eccentric architecture that made up his home. From Art Deco to Victorian, from Colonial to Neo-Gothic, the skyline was a smorgasbord comprised of an architectural pissing contest. Every era had left a distinctive thumbprint upon the city, some for the better and some better left forgotten.

Goldstein Family Trusts and Funds was one such building. A tower imitation of the famed acropolis of Greece, its walls were stained with colonial blood masquerading as faded limestone. Landing on the adjacent rooftop, IllAdvised surveyed the front of the building. Subtly was rarely actually required in New Lilith when neither the cops nor Locke were going to retaliate. With H.E.L.P. having necessitated the Mavericks going their own ways, even the pettiest of crooks had grown bolder.

"I counted five inside," A feminine voice broke the constant din of the pouring rain. IllAdvised only nodded in response, the pooled rain falling from atop his hood, crashing onto the ledge beneath his feet. Turning his head, the horrific visage beneath the hood, locked gazes with his informant.

"Route them to me," He ordered, the mask's voice modulator turning it into a throaty growl.

"The ol' put the fear of God in them, then?"

Beneath the mask, Chuck couldn't help but allow himself a small smile.

"There are no gods in New Lilith," He retorted while stands. "There's only a Demon."

Originally the spoiled son of a state senator, growing up Lincoln had want of nothing. That all changed on his sixteenth birthday when in a twist of fate, the girl he scorned turned out to be the Maiden, an aspect of the Triple Goddess. Disgusted by the vain cruel boy, the Triple Goddess cursed the boy with lycanthropy so that the world would see him for the beast he was.

Though he thought he had a handle on the curse, Lincoln would go on to lose control several times until he was eventually confronted with the fact he couldn't handle it on his own. This eventually brought him under the membership of Cyborg and the Flash, finding him a place at the Titans' Academy.

"BOO-YAH!"

Cyborg's triumphant cry echoed across the intersection as Lincoln nodded his appreciation toward the superhero. The sonic blast above his head had deflected the considerable piece of debris that Cinderblock had thrown his way. Cracking his neck, Lincoln jumped over the cement barricade left behind by the construction crew that had been working to repair the water main now flooding the scene of their battle.

"What's the blockhead even want here?" Link growled towards Cyborg who simply shrugged from behind cover. His sonic cannon was held tight against his chest, readying another blast.

Looking from Cyborg, back to the approaching concrete man, Lincoln let out an agonized cry. Even in the din of the city, the sound of his breaking bones rearranging themselves seemed to loudest noise. Though it was only moments for those watching, it felt like an eternity for Link as the pain nearly rendered him unconscious. His cry turned to a howl and suddenly Cinderblock found himself knocked backwards.

Sliding along the crumbling asphalt, the statue of a man moved to defend himself as a blur of silver and black fur suddenly was atop him. Claws and fangs dug into the stony shell of a man. Cinderblock's attempts to defend himself from the creature only caused Blitzkrieg to dig in further.

Another blast of the sonic cannon caught Cinderblock across the chest sending fractures through his body. A loud crack suddenly sent a stillness through the air as Blitzkrieg landed on the ground in front of his foe. Rubble littered the werewolf's feet as the remainder of the stone man's arm crumbled from his mouth.

Let me guess, only a flesh wound.

Link thought to himself as the wounded supervillain steadied himself for another attack. The unmistakable sound of Cybrog's weapon charging for another strike caused Blitzkrieg's ears to twitch.

"I think it's time to finish this," The former Titan called, "I've got the sonic, if you've got the boom!"

A howl from Blitzkrieg was all Cyborg needed as he let the shoot loose. The last thing Cinderblock saw after the blinding flash of blue hit him was Blitzkrieg's fangs descending upon him.

Cursed for leading a girl on, when it was all part of a cruel practical joke. Think of the plot of 'She's All That' but Link never fell for her. Dolled her up all for points with his buddies and then brought her to a room at a party where his buddies could watch them undress together. Basically seduced for the laughs in front of his buddies. The girl happened to be an avatar for the Virgin face of the Triple Goddess and called upon her wrath leading to Link's curse.

Location: Midway City, - Michigan
Episode #1: Magnetic Madness

Interaction(s): @Blizz - Shattercrash | @Damo021 - Flamebird | @Hillan - Accelerate | @PapaOso - Sacrifice
Post #1.01: Laws of Attraction

Groggy eyes slowly creaked open after yet another night of restless sleep. An all too eager alarm from his phone penetrated the young man's skull, the repetitive tone reverberating off the bones that comprised his now pounding head. Scattered around his bare torso were mounds of once fluffy stuffing, clearly the remnants of his latest victim. An empty pillow case tossed haphazardly onto the floor confirmed his suspicion.

Silencing the alarm, the man let out a low growl before collapsing back against what was left of his bed. The Titans Academy had only been open for a couple of weeks now, but Lincoln 'Link' Thrope had been working in the employ of Victor Stone and S.T.A.R. Labs for the better part of a year. Link would have referred to it as his probation period if that didn't make him sound ungrateful.

No, this was his second chance, a new lease on life. Five years ago, Lincoln had his world turned upside down. That night was such a blur. Despite the haze, he could still remember the party, and the taste of liquor, but most of all, he remembered the girl. He would never forget the girl. The look on her face, the sound of her cries and what she became seconds later. After that, it all blended. The smell of pine needles, the feel of the cool air, the pale light of a full moon and the pain of every one of his bones rapidly breaking and reforming.

Giving his head a shake, Link felt around for another pillow only to reluctantly give up upon finding another handful of loose cotton. It was likely a futile goal to try and bundle his sheet into a makeshift pillow, there was no doubt in the wolfman's mind that his sheet was more likely a collection of ribbons given his current state of fatigue.

It wasn't unusual for Lincoln to 'sleep-shift', as Vic had so dubbed it. Link wasn't a peaceful sleeper. He didn't curl up and fall into a deep slumber. Instead, he was often visited by the ghosts of his past, the screams of his victims and the ever-present guilt of the blood spilt.

There were precautions taken to try and reduce any unintentional shifting, however. Wally and Vic had worked with Link to isolate his triggers and even consulted a couple of experts in the field of curses and the macabre. Cracking his neck while rolling into a sitting position, Link's eyes were drawn to the whiteboard full of the "rules".

'RULE #1: BE WELL RESTED'

Glad to see that one is working out so well...

Link allowed himself the sarcastic thought, but contained the eye roll. It was a well-intentioned list, and there wouldn't be any harm in him getting a good night's sleep. It was just, that it never happened. His healing factor negated any over-the-counter sleeping pills, and the constant nightmares took care of the rest.

Stretching his arms forward to touch his toes, Lincoln straightened up before making his way towards the closet to get dressed. He'd already made the mistake of going down to breakfast in nothing but his boxers once since the academy doors opened. Shockingly, not everyone was quite as comfortable with casual nudity. But then again, not everyone shredded their clothes regularly to transform into a giant wolf.

It was a short walk from his quarters into the joint kitchen and dining area. No doubt Vic had planned that intentionally to ensure that Link would be enticed to eat every morning. The smells of sizzling sausages and fresh bacon grease wafted towards him, his enhanced senses picking through every layer of the aromas. Link could have told exactly what each had been smoked in, the herbs and spices put into them and even the diet of each animal before it had become the delicious breakfast the other students would get to enjoy.

'RULE #2: ABSTAIN FROM MEAT'

His stomach growled again. Wally and Vic felt that meat incited animal-like urges in Lincoln which would make him transform. That made this particular experience very hard. Long gone were the days of dining on a beautiful porterhouse steak down at the yacht club with his father. Now were the days of yogurt parfaits and scrabbled eggs.

Sitting down to eat what passed as a meal, Lincoln lifted the fork to his mouth only to jump as the entire building began to echo with an alarm. An annoyed growl escaped his lips as Cyborg's voice echoed through the dining area.

“If you’re here at the academy suit up and get ready to go into the field. There’s been an accident at STAR Labs and the local authorities aren’t able to get through. Meet me out back at the helipad in three minutes to teleport there. Cyborg out.”

Furrowing his brow, Link looked around briefly before lifting his plate to his chin and emptying its contents into his mouth. Quickly chewing, he wiped his mouth before swallowing hard.

It was time to go to work.

There was a part of Blitzkrieg that assumed he would never get used to Boom Tube travel. The sudden location changes heavily screwed with his sense of equilibrium and even now he was severely regretting scoffing down his breakfast in the manner he had.

The assembled team was an odd hodgepodge of academy members. Cyborg himself was leading the mission, and while they mostly comprised of students he saw constantly around the building, there were at least two part-timers in the form of Accelerate and Switchblade.

Accelerate and Oracle had been assigned to crowd control and Blitz felt a twinge of jealousy of not being assigned to work with Kennedy. Nonetheless, there wasn't time to dwell on Switchblade launched into action. The large sword was quickly turned against the group, and Blitzkrieg found himself moving out of the way of his alleged ally's weapon.

Cyborg fell next, the villain's powers making quick work of the mostly machine hero. It was clear most conventional weapons were not going to work here. In hindsight, it would have been nice to bring Origami on this one. Thankfully they had Shattercrash and Flamebird, not to mention himself.

Time to put on the gameface.
▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅
▅▅▅▅▅▅
With the academy having been open for such a short time, very few students were aware of who or even what Blitzkrieg was. While some might have seen his partial transformation before, no one outside of Cyborg had ever seen Blitz in his full form.

If things started improving here, they still wouldn't.

His eyes glowed red as he allowed himself a partial transformation. Fangs extended in his mouth as his ears grew pointed. His scruff became thicker and more prominent as did his brow. Blood dripped from his hands as claws replaced fingernails.

"Accelerate! Get Cyborg out of here!" Blitzkrieg roared, "Shattercrash, Flamebird, take the offensive, Sacrifice see if you can support them." Turning to Switchblade, Blitz growled as the younger boy scrambled for another knife to throw toward their opponent.

"YOU! Stop throwing knives and help Oracle with crowd control."

Without a further word, Blitzkrieg split from the group, scaling a nearby wall to the next floor. Without Accelerate, Oracle and Switchblade were going to need his help if they were to get these citizens free from harm.
