i honestly wish you had started a fic in the main dc universe instead of earth-16. i think it would have been more awesome with you near encyclopedic knowledge of dc. also everybody is on a higher level in the main stream universe. especially superman. i mean he seems less powerful here.
I mean, the latter is just a special case of the former.
Is anybody else getting the feeling Paul is holding a wee bit of a grudge?
OL: No Dana Nylor's just my side piece.
Huh. I suppose that kind of makes sense. Truggs has called him up enough times, I'm sure he has a few phone numbers that OL could backtrace. I would have expected him to use disposable burner phones for his calls, but... Ego, probably.
And it looks like Truggs has been notified that you're ringing his phones off the hooks. Another chance to gloat, after all...
The impressive thing is that she can likely hear him from there, but then... Near-clairaudient super-hearing. Heck, some versions of Kryptonians are basically psychics anyway, so not a great stretch for their supersenses to be applied psionic scrying...
It's amusing how civil these two are. I mean, Truggs has no reason to be salty, after all, and OL is, well, English.
Geez, you make it sound like you were dating.
If only you weren't on opposite sides of the law...At least he's smart enough not to go messing around with concentrated non-existence. Let's hope he can keep his bosses from making that mistake, though.
Ah, OL. the bearer of good news.
I'm sure Truggs is ready to break out the party-poppers any second... Surprised Kara-1 didn't blush at that. Or react at all. I mean, Fifties morality... Guess she's just too focused on Trugg's voice to hear anything closer... Glad to see it wasn't just me who thought that about those two, though.
Call-backs for the win. ...Not that I can remember more than the bare bones of that bit, besides Persuader showing up?
Given that Trugg's brain is only human, enhancements or not... I rather suspect he'd have trouble recognising if he's forgotten something.
Heh, there's a change of tune. That shut him right the eff up.Evidently your preparations weren't sufficient. No doubt he'll already be scrambling to think up new options...
It's impressive that Truggs just believes him. It's too fantastical to be a bluff, so surely...
...Not quite as far as you came, Nylor, my boy. But technically, yes.
Easy there, OL! You don't just drop that on someone like that. I think you derailed his train of thought.
Good thing he's got fairly reliable physical enhancements, or he might well have had a minor heart attack there. Certainly a momentary panic attack...
Temporal mechanics probably give Maltusians a minor annoyance. Imagine how bad it is for everyone else?
Goddammit, OL, you actually said it? Good thing everyone already thinks you're a gifted idiot...
Hey, he was close. Only one (or two) syllables off...
"Are all Orange Lanterns like this, or is he just, uh... Special?"
Love it when you barely have to Bluff them. Just feed their expectations and bam, they fool themselves...
Hmm... Out of curiosity, Nylor. Were there any Supergirls in your timeline's Legion? Or Superboys?
Oh, he's quick. Or knows something. Then again, there's only one Supergirl in public right now: Loriel. Angelika has been using Overgirl, and Kara-16 hasn't really gone out in costume. So any use of plurals, well...
Good girl! Go get him, then!
Presumably you gave her a League communicator so you could track her?
Or is the computer just hacking satellite feeds to try and spot her in flight? Please, don't. I doubt he'll be happy about having his reading time interrupted, especially for a continuity snarl like this.
No doubt that was for Kara-1's benefit, since I doubt Truggs is paying much attention to him right now... What with having a small but very strong hand on his shoulder...
Magical concealment, of course. Too bad he didn't think to make it sound-proof...
Please, do. Heck, hold him by the ankle if you'd like. Once he's suitably restrained, then perhaps you might like to help patch up the road you smashed through? People have kind of a thing about casual collateral damage...
But, what can you expect when a Silver-Age Kryptonian is involved? There's a reason a lot of the stories of that time were more comedic soap operas, simple puzzles or social challenges and less endless super-punching... At any rate, this is quite the find. Not just Truggs, but a whole stockpile of weird science stuff to take into custody. Bet the Light won't be smiling when they hear about this...Geez, you make it sound like you were dating.
If they're really lucky, they could find the Hero Dial, and then there goes the potential metahuman army for the Light.
Thank you, corrected.
At long last, Paul finally gets to squash this insignificant but persistent insect.
I haven't watched season 4 yet, but I think reds are the least populous, greens the most, and whites in the middle. Since the reds are royalty, the only ones who can be discriminated against are the whites.
I haven't yet heard the numbers of each caste stated. Given that children of mixed colour heritage can be either colour, I'd assume that most of the population was green/white mix at this point and therefore the numbers would have to be about the same.
From what I understand, mixed marriages aren't common, so I would bet that numbers aren't really close to even for whites and greens.
Yes, but that's not common over thousands of years for a species where large families are normal. How many generations would someone check?
Whatever happened to those Berrith Paul stabbed with the Sword?
