Current Ever had that moment were you've just lost a battle of wills with your dog and think to yourself, "maybe I should be the one sleeping on the floor"? I have. It's oddly liberating.

My Lit Lecturer used Matt Fraction's Hawkeye run to display the effect of narratology in class today. It's the first thing he's spoken about all term that I've actually read.

How good is the Punisher in Netflix's Daredevil series? "Just some guys who are about to walk into a diner for the last time." That line is so manly it could make a toddler sprout a beard.

The Justice League trailer is giving me mixed emotions. On the one hand, I desperately want to get hyped. On the other, Snyder and co have burnt me too many times in the past. I'm a conflicted mess.

What? The Lethal Weapon tv show isn't utter garbage at all, instead being an enjoyable watch. What the fuck is the world coming to?

I'll just place this WIP here for now.

I'm interested KL, and have a few ideas I might throw at you tonight.
Until somebody awesome starts showing Cyclops the love that he deserves.
But, I honestly can't help you too much, I haven't had to deal with blocked websites since I was 11, haha.


Was that the parental blocker to keep you from the adult websites?

The Outsider



Interacting with: Read this shit and find out, you filthy animals




T H E D I N I N G R O O M - T H E X A V I E R I N S T I T U T E

William hadn't really known what to expect from Llavi. As previously mentioned he didn't know the older boy well, nor was there much known about him around the mansion, other than that he had an almost unpronounceable name and a disposition against 'TV gringos'. Sparse details, and it would be fair to say that they didn't really paint a three dimensional picture of a human being. Still, the lilting poetry of Llavi's speech surprised the Outsider. Pleasantly surprised him. That, coupled with the Spaniard's easy going manner warmed William to him all the more. He felt himself relaxing.

“Can't say I'm the biggest fan of our 'physical education', but really, what's the worst that could happen?”




T H E D A N G E R R O O M - T H E X A V I E R I N S T I T U T E

As far as 'worst things' go, a charging, murderously pissed off Juggernaught, ranked pretty high up the list. The fact that he was just a hard light construction didn't seem to make things any easier. If anything he seemed to be acting extra aggressive to compensate.

William's palms felt sweaty, his bladder full and his stomach was doing loops as he stood frozen in place.

“I'M GONNA BREAK YOU IN HALF!”

The big guy screamed as he pounded towards William, Nate and Heidi. At least he didn't say that other thing that he's so fond of spouting. 1900lbs of sheer, muscle bound fury stampeded on, a nuclear bomb shaped like a man, locked on a and dead-set on his destruction. The Outsider managed a torn glance towards his allies. Nate, usually so calm and in control in these situations, seemed just as paralysed by fear as himself while Heidi was grinning like a madwoman who was privvy to a joke that no one else had heard. Maybe she'd figured out a way to deal with the man mountain baying for their blood. If she had then it didn't seem like she was set on sharing, mores the pity.

“RRRRRAAAAARGHHH!”

Juggernaut was uncomfortably close and getting closer, and he was just standing their like a brain dead fool. Move, damn it! Before he quite realized what he was doing William was moving, striking a counter-charge against their enemy. If Cain Marko was intimated by his pint-sized, masked foe then he didn't show it.

Mere feet separated the two combatants when Juggernaut threw the first blow, a massive right cross angled down towards William, the power behind it enough to shatter a skyscraper, so more than enough to turn the Outsider's insides to jelly if it connected. Conscious thought gave way to training-honed reflexes as the masked mutant leapt into the air, over the Juggernaut's meaty fist, then used the villain's outstretched arm as a pommel horse to vault up and over the giant's domed helmet. Marko grunted in confusion as his quarry twisted out of view. William landed lightly behind him, dropped to his haunches, and tried to sweep kick the gargantuan fiends legs out from underneath him. It went as well as could be expected, Juggernaut barely feeling the blow and William bruising his shin. The bigger man roared in annoyance, pivoted on his heel, and raised one big boot skywards, thinking to crush Outsider like a cockroach. The masked teen only just managed to roll out of the way, wincing at the sound of shattering concrete. If he'd been a second slower that might have been his skull.

This really isn't going well. Nate and Heidi need to get into the game. . . and I need a strategy beyond just not being squashed.

The answer to defeating Juggernaut was simple in concept, but devilish in implementation. The big man was laughably vulnerable to psionic attacks, and Nate was the schools resident telepath, meaning their team had the major advantage. However to actually hit Marko with a psychic whammy one had to first deprive him of his massive domed helmet that protected him from such attacks. Unfortunately removing the helmet was a task of opening three clasps that attached it to his armour, unbelievably easier said than done when Juggernaut was in a 'hitting things' mood.

“Nate, Heidi, we need to get that helmet off him.” William shouted, keen to get shake his team of their lethargy, and get them all working off the same page. Unfortunately that shout seemed to tick Mark off again, who prepared himself to charge William once again. The Outsider gulped down his apprehension before readying himself to meet the attack.
Hmm I'll definitely be pondering taking him on again then. Never really got as far along with his story as I had planned.
Did someone say Wildcat?


I didn't think anyone else cared that much about ol' Teddy.
My second character (If I ever make one) will probably be a DC street level character. Need some diversification.
I'm here or hereabouts. Busy week is all, which Wraith and Hillan know about. I do have something short in the works though.
