Bio



I invented necromancy and the windmill. I beat the sun in a poker match during the summer of 1273 and God hasn't felt the same since.

"This realm we walk is the space between. The Veil separates all worlds, and we live in the afterthought of it." Like a row of prison cells, where the bars were what separated prisoners from one another. Jack and Annika walked the hallways between. "I have never met another like us who can naturally find their way here. Most do not know this place exists, but many step across the Veil. And many who do so would have few difficulties invading."

Jack pressed his hands together and pulled them away slowly. The dark ground shimmered into a kaleidoscope of images resembling the worlds he'd been to. "Those with a soul displaced from their body, those for which death means nothing. Those who multiply when they die..." He wondered if Annika remembered that. "Despite the difficulties in reaching the Everdark, it is not impossible, and is all but a guarantee in a world of infinite potential. The chance may be low, or high, but never nonexistent that someone will invade this realm. I am not the first to come here, you will not be the last."

"And so, you must learn when to retreat to here, and when to retreat elsewhere."

Jack swung a hand out before him, causing a rift to open once more. "You are going to open as many doorways into as many different universes as you can, in rapid succession. Starting when you walk through that doorway."

Under no circumstances did Leah feel particularly obligated to represent a school. She had always been of the “Nothing to prove” mentality. And even then, it was rich coming from Vision, who was announcing some guy’s death to a bunch of kids in a hotel lobby. He didn’t even have the excuse that he was a machine. Vicky wouldn’t have done this… Well, probably not. Honestly, she’d probably call bullshit on it too, if Leah had to guess. Or she’d look into it and drag Leah along.

”Fine.” She wasn’t in the mood to sit here and bitch about it. It just seemed very unlikely that a literal time traveler conveniently died after doing nothing when they were all saved with time travel. Apparently there were inter-dimensional laws about that, which he enforced. But sure, he just had a heart attack. Sure.

April wasn’t doing so okay about it, though.

”…I’ll be back,” She told Sabine. ”I don’t like her being alone when she’s like that.” Leah brushed her hand against Sabine’s, afraid to do something like squeeze it the way she was, lest she hurt Sabine. And then she turned and walked off to follow after April.

There was a knock on the bathroom door, as Leah tapped it with her hand.

”Hey. April. It’s me.”

It was at that moment that Leah realized she wasn’t sure exactly what she could say to April through the door, to make this better. Obviously, she wanted to say something, but she never felt able to relate to the feeling of grief. Even when her mother had been shot, Leah didn’t get the time to really feel anything about that. She didn’t know how to picture what April was feeling in an empathetic way.

”It’s not great. People die all the time, that’s what everyone tells you when you’re dealing with it. But it doesn’t make it easier… It’s not supposed to be easy.” Death sucked. It sucked watching good people die, it sucked when good people risked their lives to ensure bad people died. Leah wasn’t very familiar with Nemo, but at least he wasn’t a shitty person.

She fumbled for a second.

”And- And it’s harder when it’s someone like us. Superheroes. People think we’re invincible, we treat each other like it, and then… They die,” She continued. ”But it’ll be okay. Eventually. It’s going to be different without him, but it’s going be okay. And while it’s not okay, I’ll be here, alright? You can scream if it makes you feel better, and I’ll sit right here. And you can talk to me about it, and I won’t walk away.”

It made Leah feel like a real hypocrite saying that. ”I’m still here, nothing’s changed.”

The Archivist being a full on Elf made way too much sense for the sheer level of fucking gall he had. Being half elven himself, Mason got it. It just came with being an old son of a bitch with cobwebs for lungs. Still, the guy just appeared and not answering the door, or not being in the crowd when Mason walked in was weird. Mason had to wonder if this magic shit let him just appear whenever he wanted, or see what was going on like the old dragons seeing everything and not being anywhere near the things they were observing. He seemed old enough that he may very well have heard those stories when he was a kid.

They’d all talked him into a corner. The big guy started, and had a pretty good point. How did this arrogant punk spy on them? The answer was pretty obvious, no doubt.

”I’m going to take a wild guess and assume he spied on us all with magic. I’ll believe anything at this point,” Mason ”Like how it’s real, and apparently we’re some of the first since an extinction level event or something.” The voice he heard in his head, which was almost like a dream itself when he was already asleep, had made that clear. The Archivist’s voice didn’t sound the same.

”I’ve got two questions for you, old man. One: How do we get this shit under control? I can’t touch things without destroying them anymore, and I’m not convinced I won’t kill somebody by accident doing that. Two: What in the goddamn fuck caused this?” Mason was equal parts curious and distraught for the last week. ”I was hearing voices, and the voices were telling me that it’s been literal thousands of years since this sort of thing was common. What changed?”
It was a common thing for Jack to run into dangerous people. People who wanted him dead mostly because of things he’d done to them. People he’d robbed, cheated out of a priceless object or left for dead. Or even worse. Jack had lived his life like the protagonist of an endless storybook, always going from one chapter to another, never stopping for a moment. When others started families and bought a house, Jack plotted courses through regions of the cosmos no sapient being had ever been to. By the time others were normally raising kids, he was living out an absurd tale very few would believe.

And now that he had a kid of his own, Jack needed to impart lessons into her. In a world where people like them could exist, there was danger around every corner. And where danger lurked…

”…One must learn to avoid it.”

They stood outside the house, where a normal house would have a front lawn. It was just stones and a gate of pale iron for them. They didn’t have neighbors in the Everdark, but there were countless spells protecting this space from the natural denizens that meant the gate could’ve been anything.

”You command the same forces that I do, Annika. The forces of space itself, the Veil. Between all worlds, it exists as a barrier to prevent them from coalescing into one. On the day you and I first crossed paths, it had fallen to tatters. Now, it stands tall as it always should.”

Jack took a few steps to Annika’s left, and suddenly he was behind her in the blink of an eye.

”Here in this place, the Veil is an afterthought. The multiverse bleeds through like countless rivers,” he continued. This was nothing new to her. ”In the greater cosmology of existence, you and I wield the exception to a common rule: One must always contend with the Veil when they with to travel between worlds.”

The Everdark was a place virtually no one in all of eternity had ever gone. Less than a hundred, if any, had willingly set foot in this land. The Veil was the product of the world’s people, and so it could scarcely reach here. ”You will always have a home here, but there will come a day when you must learn to step between spaces that are not your home. Today, you will learn to circumvent the Veil, and arrive in a place that is not the Everdark, but another place entirely.”

This house sucked. The lights were a pain in the ass and Mason was half tempted to just delete them from the world.

There were two people out of this gaggle of fuckers that Mason recognized. One was Bea, some older girl he worked in the same place at a while back. She was snippy, short tempered and devoid of patience for jackasses insistent on sucking up what little patience a person had. Overall, a pretty okay person if Mason was ever in the mood to start being extroverted…. If.

”Hey.” It was socially acceptable to at least act like a person was there, right? He didn’t feel like bothering anyone, but at least they knew each other existed.

The other person was Pom, god’s highest elf. Mason bought the occasional pack of weed rolls off her, on the rare occasion when he had a few spare dollars. That was probably one or two times at most. ”You too?”

There were a lot of people in here. How many people in this good-for-nothing, worthless little town had woken up one morning able to do this shit?

Mason made a mental note. Azure was the pompous looking one, Matt was the one growling like a fucking animal at the shadow on the wall- The one Mason turned to and didn’t stop looking at. Lena, Jackson… Some weird ass ghost thing. Honestly, Mason wasn’t nearly as scared of that as he should’ve been. He’d seen enough weird shit already.

”Mason. What the hell is that thing?” He pulled his phone out, and turned the flashlight on to point at whatever the fuck was watching them.

What am I?

The question had been on Leah's mind ever since the night in the gym with Andy. It had been on her mind during the early dawn that next morning, when she hadn't gone back to her room to talk with Sabine. It kept her up each night after, as she spent countless minutes staring down at the rocky skin that had crept over her hands and never left. She couldn't answer it when everything looked smaller, she was afraid to answer it when she walked through the halls of Margaret Carter and got those odd looks from people who weren't even sacred of Leah, but just didn't recognize her at all.

The day had come when they all boarded a plane and flew across the country. That was awkward given her hair and the fact that she couldn't even fit in the seats. It mostly sucked, but Sabine made it bearable, bitching in her ear and yapping about the nintendo switch she "found" one summer before they started dating. It was small in her hands, but she let Sabine fool around with the one game she had: Skyrim. Leah didn't know how it worked.

New Orleans freaked her out a bit, iIt was a pretty vibrant city. It reminded her of some of the places dad had dragged her along to see once, like Manaco and Madrid. Leah actually hoped most of the people here would just turn and walk away the moment they saw her. That'd be easier than some kid half her age walking up to her and asking her if she was one of those superheroes, because obviously rock-skinned people over 6'5" were that kind of person. She hadn't had much time to think about anything but that lately, being an eyesore and not understanding why.

And knowing she'd be in a room with both Sabine and April felt... Fine, honestly. Leah didn't think any less of April. Granted, she'd spent enough time feeling guilty that she hadn't noticed April was going through rough things. But April had every right to prioritize her well-being, and Leah had every goddamn obligation to be a better friend. Still, it was better than being around strangers.

Leah figured that maybe, just maybe, this wouldn't be so bad. And then Vision dropped something on them.

Nemo's dead, kids. Surprise.

That didn't add up to Leah. Nemo was a time traveler, and they'd all been saved with time travel. Wasn't he one of the time police who got pissy if you fucked with time? There was so many reasons something as mundane as a "heart attack" absolutely would not kill a guy like that. He-

Sabine was touching her. Oh, fuck, she could barely even feel that right now. Leah didn't squeeze her hand, she'd probably break it in her current state. She just took a wide step closer to her girlfriend and looked down at her. Then she turned and watched April run off, and felt a pang of worry run through her. It'd be shitty of her to run after April, for several reasons, so Leah didn't.

"There's... That's bullshit," Leah commented. "The guy's a time traveler, he probably just faked his death and put another version of him in his place to make it seem real. And aren't all of us supposed to be dead, too? Isn't it his job to enforce time laws and shit? He probably had to fuck off to protect himself. I don't believe that for a second, Vision. And what the fuck are you doing, telling us that when you know people are already stressed out?"

What the fuck?

Umbra didn’t typically use its tests subjects as weapons of security. Ryder was very much a unique case in the sense that someone, somewhere, had planned to use her as a tool for destruction. Despite her lifetime of observation, that was all she knew. Something wasn’t right there.

”No. It’s just me,” she answered. ”They use humans for things like this. Not other mutants. Unless it’s him doing something at last…” What “him” meant, she left vague. Ryder felt out for Becker’s head, a mind she’d been inside of many times before. It wouldn’t be hard to-

MINE. MINE. MINE.

MINE.


”Fuck-“ It was like walking face-first into a moving train, or staring directly into the sun. Ryder instinctually pulled herself out of his head. Something else was there, Andrew Becker wasn’t at the wheel. It made Ryder’s head spin.

”Don’t try and get in his fucking head, that’s not him.” It had to be the bastard behind everything. ”It’s Umbra. The Umbra. He fucking crawled out of his hole. That’s how this ends. He’s below us, and I think he knows where to find us.”

”All units. Stand down, immediately.” A voice could be heard through the radios of the unconscious guards. It was Becker’s voice. ”That is an order.”

It was just going to be them and the body snatching mutant.

”Do not, under any circumstances, engage the mutants. Don’t attack her. She’s mine.”
