Batman had a blank expression as he rode his bike, speeding through the snow-caked dirt road toward the warehouse in front of him. He couldn't help the sinking sensation in his stomach as he drew closer and closer to his destination.
Suddenly the bike hit a pump hidden by the snow and flew into the air, causing the caped crusader to grunt as he somersaulted to the ground ...

"You all know how it goes. Some hero or the other would catch the villain, throw them in jail, they break out, and the cycle repeats itself," I said, briefly glancing at Clark Kent before turning back to Lois Lane.

The man was tall, but his height failed to give him the confident, imposing look common among people that most men who had to look down to addre...

Ultimately, I couldn't trust the sketchy stone Nightwing wanted to use. My suspicions weren't baseless as I watched him, the other heroes, and the captives awkwardly standing around for five minutes before...
2023-01-14 14:18:18 +0000 UTC View PostI sighed in relief as I finished binding Jericho with an elaborate Starhert construct that inhabited the energy in his body, stepping aside as I noticed Deathstroke approaching his son.
"Joseph, are you still in there?" Deathstroke calmly asked as he kneeled next to his son, maintaining a respectful distance out of caution as he looked into Jericho's eyes.
"Where the hell is the boss?" Screamed one mercenary at the top of his lungs as he fired his energy rifle, watching in horror as the projectile bounced the armor plate of the insectoid machine lunging at him.
"He's on his way! Hold the line!" Said another one who seemed in charge, but his words fell on deaf ears as the insectoid machine had already knocked out the distres...

Realizing I still had time to burn before the morning, thanks to the power ring's efficiency, I started arranging the magical artifacts all over the hideout because why not?

As soon as I stepped through the portal, I began inspecting the area and found myself inside a dark cave with a small patch of rocks rising over a massive lake.
It was where I expected to go, but my paranoia always got the better of me whenever I spotted a portal. It never hurts to be extra cautious in these situations, but that's neither here nor there.

Author's note: someone asked about why Gray was simping for Wonder Woman, and I'd been meaning to reply for a while, but it kinda slipped my mind until now.
Anyway, I thought I might as well put the reply here in case anyone was wondering about it as well.
Basically, Gray is used to lying and bluffing his way through most situations. Wonder Woman could see through most, if not all, ...
