Get to the bottom of this, if at all possible, she replied, looking up at him from her chair. Nine times out of ten, it was a week sitting in a draughty sedan car listening to someone you were sure was Victor talk inane garbage about the neighbours as cape secrecy was so ingrained they didnt even mention their other life to their wife. The real trick is making it work from all angles. Unfortunately, we have no proof of the involvement of any specific person yet. Have you talked to Shadow Stalker yet? the Director queried. A Touch of the Divine sounds like it would fit, though unfortunately the author passed away before finishing it. Fuck, its a trap, she yelled. Dragonslayers? So you're not human, then? he asked. It obviously wasnt human in the slightest and never had been. The amount of sensory information was overwhelming for the first couple of minutes. I cant prove it one way or another as of yet. All right, Piggot replied, with a frown of her own. I know she claimed not to be one, but the ability to understand Tinker-tech to any level rates at least a 3 to 4 rating. Dutifully Dragon added the classification. I don't know why, perhaps it was just a convenient place. The DNA was obviously heavily edited, most of the normal redundancies elegantly pruned out and the entire thing simplified and optimized. This could be a problem, he eventually said. Someone needs to give Lisa a hug. Deciding it was probably because everyone knew where New Wave lived she dismissed the thought and enjoyed the flight, which was weirdly different from what her sister did. Taylor Hebert is dead, Assault. The beginnings of a story I started around mid-2015 in the Worm setting, but semi-abandoned when I started Taylor Varga. Well, when my abilities did what they did, I kind of overwrote a lot of normal insect behavior. You have stolen the fire of Mount Olympus and cast down the gods. She turned her head towards him, making him stare again, a little shocked and unnerved, although he wouldn't have admitted it to anyone. Hello, Tattletale, the thing said in a womans voice, a note of satisfaction in it. So for now sit back, relax, and enjoy Taylor desperately trying to retire. Taylor is a victim. And yes, their senses could be used. While shes here, talk to the rest of the Wards and find out whether they think she could be involved in bullying a fellow student. Ill interview her myself next, I think. Pulling her head back she stifled the whimper she nearly made, wondering what they wanted. Kind of. Somewhere. She was at the extreme other end of the loading area but it wasnt all that big so it wouldnt take them long to find her. Master 8 at a minimum, he went on. Does the name Taylor Hebert ring any bells? Assault asked with a certain amount of malicious amusement in his voice. It was a shock, obviously, to find that as she started High School, a school she'd picked specifically to be with her best friend, that friend was now apparently dead set on turning everyone against her. Took a while to think it through but Im pleased with the result. She sounded justifiably smug.

This body is a construct I designed for human interaction. Nothing happened for a while. Assault shook his head a little then leaned forward. They didn't seem to recognize my costume, or care if they did. Everywhere. Eventually she moved, shaking her head slowly while still looking at her sister. Alt-Power Taylor Hebert. Arthropods tend to creep humans out for some weird reason, especially ones six feet tall and intelligent. She cocked her head again, amusement radiating from her. "I made it" She was too tall. Assault stared at the figure in front of him for several seconds, trying to put his finger on it, but all he could think was that he was getting very uncomfortable all of a sudden, his heart rate rising and his body getting ready for combat. The two men looked around as well, as did Rachel as she pushed past her teammate with a grunt of irritation. It's been a very long time since I've seen the sunrise with my own eyes like this. Her voice sounded wistful if anything. Well, like I said, I panicked and hid. Director Piggot looked at the photos in the opened folder and winced despite herself. ", i second this. See you around. How much campione knowledge is required to get this fic? Not much of a story where everything gets solved in a couple of days, right? She had parents who were good and loving people, despite not being well off, and a friend. What did you do to them? she asked curiously. I think shes an ex-Ward.. Why muggers? So if you're not an alien, that leaves Trailing off, he eventually shrugged. Youre in the way, Tats, he said, poking her again. The neural processing backing the sensory system up was unbelievably complex compared to a human visual cortex. Brian and Alec walked around her, the latter poking her a few times in the side. Father was such a miserable person. I swear I never stole anything, I never meant to hurt anyone,I swear, I swear that I'm a good kid, A good kid, Who's had a bad run". Amy met the blonde's eyes with her own in the mirror and held up a hand, showing the unpleasantly adherent goo. It took a while to work out all the details but it came together pretty well in the end, she replied. One day, her mother didn't come home. We confirmed it with an exemplar from her hairbrush which her father gave us. The sole survivor of the Hebert family sat in his chair for another ten minutes, before he quietly got up, retrieved the pistol, carefully unloaded it and locked it in his desk, then went downstairs and out the door of the Dockworkers Association building, locking it behind him. Something out there is learning everything it can, about everything. Hive shook her head after a moment. On one hand I'd quite like to as I think it has some promise, on the other hand it could easily end up being another story that exploded into far more words than I was originally expecting. Not right now. It's all over one sleeve of my costume as well. She looked over at the offending item of clothing which was draped over the back of a chair where she'd dropped it. Amy shrugged slightly. Who? she asked reflexively, then slapped her hands over her mouth, wrinkling her nose at the stench from whatever it was that she now had all over them from the dumpster next to her. She was terrified of telling her father, but she told the teachers, people who should have listened and done their jobs. 'Female, I think,' he mused. He was finding the lack of human expressions somewhat disturbing despite himself although her body language was nonthreatening. She realized what was happening as she started to cook. He stared at her, the matter of fact voice belying the horror of what it was saying. "Goddess" is not well definined between systems, different properties have very different ideas of what counts as a 'god'. Im everywhere. Over the last few weeks Ive seen traces of unusual activity. At first, I might have wanted to try to end myself, but now? A gesture of resignation followed. Tada! "Taylor?" "It's you!" Taylor exclaimed. Work Search: Finding a bottle of nail polish remover she looked quizzically at it, shrugged, then tried it. Should have floored it, Barlett muttered, taking a sip of his coffee. One side effect of my personal singularity is that my mind runs a lot faster than a normal human one does. The first couple of decades were very bad. A new one, presumably, or else a renamed one. They stood there for another minute or so. Not to mention all the other arthropods. Miss Militia had learned over time, how to expect the unexpected. It might have been meant as a horrible prank, but personally I think it was attempted murder on the part of at least one of the people involved. Exactly. Youre certain of parahuman involvement in the fire? Yes, that much I am sure of. Im fine, but were not going to be if we dont get out of here right now, she yelped. When Archaon the Everchosen rejects the gifts of the Great Horned Rat, the spurned deity decides to find someone else out of pettiness and tosses a shard of warpstone into the abyss. She snapped her head around to gape at him. "Plus since I designed it, I can also make it do almost anything I want. Fingerprints and surface DNA are impossible to retrieve as a result, so all we can do is interview possible witnesses. Now, I'm not necessarily looking for just a power wank, but a story that is actually good and deals with the entire thing realistically and reasonably. Overpowered much? Or right, perhaps. Which on its own is somewhat suspicious in my opinion. Caught in Causality (Dr Manhattan/Watchman). Her friend, her oldest friend, someone as close to her as a sister, suddenly wasn't. She looked at him again, while he listened. Anyway, I was tired again, so I decided to go and get a cup of coffee from that shop a block over that does the nice donuts as well, then call you from their payphone. I think Id like that. Ive got your number. The moral, the strong, the pure, and the hedonists. However, I did recycle a few elements from this one into TV when they seemed to fit. I can hear it, she added, which didn't actually help. On. Thats more than a little worrying. She shook her head with good humor. Do you have one? No. Chagas disease? She shouldnt really be in the position shes in because of that. The woman sounded sure of her conclusions. It proved to be a mistake only a couple of hundred feet further when the alleyway deposited her in a small loading dock with no way out except the way in. Yes. No, Im not. You will be proof from the tapestry of fate that is laid over all of creation. Stung. What? she growled. You mean Capes? No, she chuckled. The school itself is a write-off, it will have to be completely demolished and rebuilt. No other injuries? she asked, closing the folder. Lack of emotional cues, certain trace pheromones, things like that. She looked at him with her head on one side. The real question is: will there be someone left to call Taylor Hebert? Pay attention. Her eyes slid sideways reluctantly to meet the Directors furious expression. If you need me, just call for me. You still havent given me a name, he reminded her. I was born here. Unknown attacker. Add to that arachnids, mites, copepods, crabs She glanced at him as he paled. It was very impressive and rather unnerving. Which is probably a good thing from your point of view. By the time the meeting ended some while later, Sophia was a nervous wreck. She could sense the energy glands pumping sugars and massive quantities of ATP to fuel the energy expenditure. Work Search: Amy. Hives voice sounded pleased. Some people think he writes his protagonists as too aggressive/violent, but if you're ok with the premise of each fic nothing leaves plausible territory. I mean, her body alone Vicky grinned. Dengue fever cases since the end of January? Eventually she hopped up to sit on the air conditioner unit, her motions much quicker and more graceful than he expected, so fast in fact that he stepped back a little. I was loving this, and then the latest chapter with a fascinating Crystal who I am loving seeing the world from her perspective. Im probably saner than almost anyone now. A conservative estimate would be around ten to the twenty-fifth power or thereabouts. This is pretty fun and lighthearted so far. He noticed it had three slender claw-tipped fingers and apparently two thumbs, one on each side. That would happen. It seemed impossible, shed seen the photos of what had been in that locker when the fire was finally put out and there was no way Hebert was still alive. I guess? You see, once upon a time there was a girl, she grew up over that way somewhere, she began, waving one arm vaguely towards the Docks area in general. Two of them had metal baseball bats and the other one had a machete. Not positive. The fire spread very fast, most of that wing of the building was already gone by the time the first responders arrived. And while her passing devastated Taylor, she will do whatever she could to continue her mothers legacy, even if that means she has to discover it first. They stopped talking as much to each other, and she herself went from being a fairly outgoing and cheerful if private girl into a bit of an introvert. No, it's not. Which makes it murder, of course. On top of a major arson case, all of it firmly in our purview, the rather obese woman sighed. Seconds later he looked confused before he simply froze in place. Lifting a hand she waved it dismissively. The smaller man was being his usual self and their long-suffering leader was beginning to get annoyed about it. Its only me now. I'm sorry, he stated, meaning it. Annette Hebert was a mystery. Within that range, the control was absolute. After a moment the figure waved at her. Fast acting. She mentally stalled, staring at the figure watching her curiously from a short distance away. The second story I started is this one. They knew to hide their differences. He looked around once more and when he looked back the moth was gone. If youd asked me that sometime in the first twenty or thirty years, Id have happily said I intended to do unto her what she did unto me, with interest, but I grew up. Even through the pain and disorientation she knew what was going to happen, she knew she was going to die, and she didn't want to! And we have no idea how fast she can fly. Armsmaster looked thoughtful as he inspected the monitor next to the one showing Dragons avatar on which she was summarizing the results of the discussion. Eventually Piggot stirred behind her desk. I doubt it very much indeed, he told her. Hive held out one of her own right hands, the delicate-looking clawed digits wrapping around Amys own fingers. Tensing a little, he began to wonder if he actually should have called for backup before coming over. I'm fine, just a little shaken up, and that's all there is to it. Releasing her sister she looked at the two hand-prints on the other woman's shirt, wincing a little. No cases at all. Its spread by mosquitoes, isnt it? Yes, the Anopheles genus. He thought for a moment. What muggers? misread your question. Restricted to insect or arthropod based forms from what she said, but with additions that could come from anywhere. She followed the pointing finger and did as ordered. That said, without specifically looking for it hed probably never notice. Amy smiled a little. While the overall body shape, except for the extra arms, was more or less humanoid in pattern, the head wasn't. Her father withdrew into himself a lot, as did she, in different ways. Taylor Hebert triggers inside her locker. It was the watchman who raised the alarm when he smelled something other than his cigarette burning. Nodding to the folder, he added soberly, The evidence suggests that Miss Hebert was still alive when that happened. Christ. Director Piggot swiveled her chair to look out the window for a moment, before turning back. Dawn of Worm Taylor is a Primarch from an AU version of Warhammer 40k, complete. He grinned back at her. They all headed up the stairs, Lisa stopping dead in the doorway and looking around suspiciously. Hi, Assault. Itll do for the moment. The wings began to flap rapidly as she lifted off. It sounds pretty bad, even at this time of year. Shaker or Blaster? Miss Militia asked curiously. Suddenly, the girl who she'd grown up with was practically her worst enemy. But her friend did her best to cheer her up and keep her interested in life. They chased me for at least ten or twelve minutes, until I got trapped in some sort of loading area way off the main streets. Shes dead. After a couple of seconds, he walked closer, still staying cautiously out of reach because he wasn't an idiot, but not feeling any threat. It was only the fact that some bone marrow survived more or less intact that let me run a DNA test at all. He stopped speaking for a few seconds, apparently considering something, then slowly went on, Director, the one thing I can guarantee is that the Hebert girl didnt lock herself in there. Everyone stared at her. Anyway, I need something to eat. I can control them right down to the DNA, you see, not just the behavior. The (un)lucky person turns out to be one Taylor Hebert, having just been stuffed into a school locker by a trio of bullies. It didn't. Shit, he muttered, appalled. Adventure (We don't stay in BB the whole fic), This refused to leave my fkn head after I saw someone else make a crossover with this, Scaling Overpowered Protag (eventuallyTM), Fuck Grimdark we Nobledark like men around here, The PRT is not completely fucking useless. Malaria is a major disease. Its killed more people through history than anything else, she replied seriously. There was a quiet rhythm to them, a delicate balancing act between boredom and terror, between long silences where your mind could wander and moments where you were so focused you could spot a dropped pin. Taylor in Theogony is a girl with strong powers that make fighting people pretty easy. I've enjoyed it so far, hope there will be more. She held up a hand with another shake of her head. Really, really badly. It's great to see this get a thread of its own; the whole premise is interesting and I like a lot of the small things dotted around, like how casually Taylor interacts with everything. Actually, it was the first chronologically, I started playing with it around the middle of 2015, but didn't stop working intermittently on it until after I began seriously writing Taylor Varga. Not all of it, not yet, but quite a lot, yes. Aside from the obvious. Anywhere. He paused, then looked up from the microscope, his brow furrowed, and met her virtual eyes. If it wasn't for the fact that she's useful she'd be locked up right now. I don't know, like she's been around for a long time. Little is publicly known about it, save that the tremor of its creation rippled around the world. What the hell had Hebert triggered as? So we either have some parahuman arsonist who just happened to torch a school which coincidentally happened to have a fifteen year old girl trapped in a locker full of biological waste in it, or whoever actually did the trapping then set the fire to cover their tracks. But But? he asked when she went silent again. Diebuster cross. Why? He couldn't think of a good answer for a moment. Not the way you're probably thinking. She turned to look at him. I'd recommend skipping over the chapter from the 'Emperor's' perspective, it delves too much into the AU 40k which isn't great and he's grating. No one else was there. Did Lisa just 'Explode' with Realization and Exuberance? I suspect youll get a number of yes answers to that question. What do you intend to do, Director? the man asked as he stood. Sort of just so competent and sure of herself. Actually, it was the first chronologically, I started . We may have been unable to prove it before, but if and when I can rectify that She smiled unpleasantly. Amy paused, then nodded. Off. Personally I think she should have been even so and quite a few other people feel the same, but Director Piggot was over-ruled on that decision. I know, she said softly. Or, in which Taylor is a biotinker, Greg is here to catch when her power's getting up to shit, and they're both adorable. Woman? Its more an unwinding story than anything that is likely to go anywhere, as its always good fun to throw a completely OP Taylor at the Wormverse. Dismissed. Director. He nodded one last time to her then left the office, closing the door quietly behind himself. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. Press J to jump to the feed. I've had a really long time to think about things.. Its nothing I wanted and to be honest if I could change it I probably would, I dont like being responsible for the entire planetary ecosystem to that level, but All four arms lifted in a shrug. But everyone else seemed to believe it. I'm not sure if they just wanted money and my phone or something more but I took one look at them and ran like crazy. She shuddered in remembrance. But, unfortunately, no matter what she or any of the rest of the Protectorate think, there isnt a lot they can actually do to or about me, Im afraid. At his puzzled look, she elaborated. What do you think?, Lisa smiled, as the light from the crystals reached dazzling heights. She stung them. There was a pause. Personally Id put it as high as it goes. Dragon added this as well. If you could do that why would you restrict it to human levels? Good point, Dragon replied, adding a Brute 2+ rating to the tally. I know, I should have made sure to charge it and I will next time. Get a spare battery as well, her sister commented, listening with interest. Diebuster cross.
