    Threadmarks: Edge 4.5

    Edge 4.5 The flight to our newest location should have been as exhilarating as always, but with my nerves so frayed, I didn't have it in me to enjoy it. This time, Brandish was taking me along, Glory Girl instead carrying Panacea. If nothing else, Glory Girl was right about flying being faster...

    Edge 4.4 The rest of the school day passed without much of note. While I kept an eye open for any other Empire sympathizers thanks to my encounter in the cafeteria, the few I spotted didn't seem keen on approaching me. Perhaps they'd thought their friends had been too forward with what they...

    Threadmarks: Edge 4.3

    Edge 4.3 The Monday morning I returned to Winslow was warm and sunny, but that atmosphere stopped cold the instant I stepped inside the doors. The hallways were far emptier than usual, and while there were exceptions, the students there either walked alone or in small groups; their voices never...

    Edge 4.2 This conversation at least promised to be less stressful than Yumeko's initial recruitment pitch, because in a pinch I at least had somewhere to escape to if things got really dire. However, that didn't mean I was going to have an easy time of this. While I was sure Yumeko could turn...

    Edge 4.1 Edge - A poker player's advantage over other players, usually referring to skill. I'd never been able to fully decompress from my battle with Lung, but the past few days had been dedicated to far more mundane stressors instead. At the very least, school had been canceled for the...

    "Hello. My name is Nanami Tsubomi, or Tsubomi Nanami depending on where you're from. While I'm on the job, though, you may call me Tangle; my hair's far stronger than normal, and I have independent control over it. It's an honor for New Wave to give me this opportunity, and I will do everything...

    Threadmarks: Showdown 3.A (Interlude: Amy)

    Showdown 3.A For the past day and a half, Amy's life had revolved around healing. This had proven both a blessing and a curse. It meant her mind stayed blissfully clear as she focused on the tasks laid before her, but the hospital was a haven for so much misery it threatened to drag her down to...

    Showdown 3.6 The walk to my new destination was short, but with my racing heart and pounding head, it felt like every step took miles. If Dad and Victoria had noticed them, maybe I could spin something about how it felt weird being on my feet again after so long, but something told me they'd...

    Wicked Little Games keeps trucking along: it just broke the 50k word mark, and I have a feeling it's going to keep going a lot longer than that. If the premise as mentioned in my previous post sounds interesting, give it a shot: hopefully, you like it.

    Threadmarks: Showdown 3.5

    Showdown 3.5 I awoke to the sound of a heart monitor, surrounded by crinkly sheets; both were telltale signs I'd made it to a hospital. Whether this was Brockton Bay's hospital or some other nearby hospital because Lung burned ours down, I didn't know, but it was a hospital nonetheless. The...

    Threadmarks: Showdown 3.4

    Showdown 3.4 As a hero, I'd expected a little search and rescue might have been on the table, even if that wasn't my primary focus. On the other hand, I believed I'd be stopping a kidnapping or helping to locate a missing child, not trying to pull anyone I could out of an inferno. Still, we'd...

    Showdown 3.3 Even from this far away, I could tell that Lung had enhanced himself much further than Brockton Bay had ever seen before; his wings extended well outside his already oversized frame, and the flames coating his entire body glowed white rather than red. Several flying capes, Lady...

    Showdown 3.2 This wasn't my first fight as a cape. However, it'd be the first one that likely wouldn't be ended with one blow. Oni Lee had been on the scene longer than any of us, and he'd been doing just fine on his own before Lung conscripted him. Even outnumbering him three to one, this...

    Showdown 3.1 Showdown - The final phase of a hand of poker, where all remaining players reveal their hands to determine who wins. My brain went on autopilot as the three of us started clearing out classrooms, giving me time to try and piece together what the hell was going on. It felt strange...

    Ante 2.J As much as Jun enjoyed working solo, having a team to back him up was much appreciated here. His allies hadn't taken the idea of him working with them well, Skidmark in particular using several rather creative swears and slurs to describe him. However, the point he stressed ultimately...
