With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

In the latter case, only really, really drunk and/or stupid people. and even then, the Mythbusters showed it just wasn't that likely to cause any kind of electric shock. Something about the stream getting too scattered unless you were practically touching it...
Dogs and drunks have occasionally been that stupid, though it's also possible that they did touch it, since the angle makes it thankfully unseen.

EDIT: I'm not going to look for a video, since I'm not that invested in this, but I recall seeing some.

Ah. Spare parts, eh? Surprised they bothered to give them names.

Maybe she gave some of them names.

Or the doctors did it, but it wasn't out of a sense of compassion.

People can give cars names and titles, but they're still cars.

If anything, the propaganda types might well use her misbehaviour as a humanising trait. Make her seem a little less robotically fanatical. Play her up as a jolly prankster

Yeah, they probably don't want that.

I'm guessing a lot of people look up to them and try to emulate them, so the Nazis probably don't want insubordination to become viewed as an admirable trait.

Though he's still able to channel Will, of course. But then, the Green light doesn't need much in the way of entanglement or investment to work, just determination.

Yeah, the Green Light is basically the only light which you can force out.

Just not in the way some tabloids might have tried to suggest, shortly before Lex would have them sued out of business for it. 😏

I mean, we know Lex is crazy, so those tabloids may not be completely wrong.

Sadly, some useless parents consider children that way even in our world.

Parents of some child stars or beauty pageants.

I had an idea for a story in which a deal making demon goes to a children's beauty pageant in order to convince the parents to sell him the souls of their children in order to have them win.

However, after seeing the sheer emotiona, mental and physical damage the children go through, he concludes that there's very little torture the demons can implement on them that would be worse then what's happening, so he leaves.

Heh. A fine pair, the two of them. Designer babies made by super-science for not-necessarily good reasons...

And both were made by xenophobes using the stolen DNA of heroes.

Is that a correction? What's wrong

No, it's not a correction.

Mitchell said that Luthor just wanted to kill Superman, but thought that his creation meant that he may also want something else.

I was just clarifying that he had Mitchell made to kill Superman.
 
No, it's not a correction.

Mitchell said that Luthor just wanted to kill Superman, but thought that his creation meant that he may also want something else.

I was just clarifying that he had Mitchell made to kill Superman.
Ah, no. Mitchell is pointing out that Lex didn't need to bother with a Superman replacement. If a covert murder attempt worked, he could just carry on with his day.
 
"Do you need kidneys that… Ah, have… Super speed?"

She looks at me as if I said something stupid. "Yes, of course I do. What do you think happens if most of my body can survive moving at lightspeed but one organ cannot?"

I guess my presumption would have been that her body generated a "superspeed field" (you know, the Flash's old 'speed aura') that makes her able to move at lightspeed, not that every organ had to be specifically equipped for that. In the same way that she was able to move at superspeed earlier this scene without shredding the ID card she was carrying.

Of course, that may be the case and it would have been fine to not have a superspeed kidney, but the project managers were like, "Oh well we're going to dispose of Gertrude anyway, let's stick the kidney in just in case, you know?" Kind of seems like how those sorts of guys would think.
 
"They never made that into an actual game, did they?"

I tear my eyes away from… I don't think this is my thing. And look at Johanna instead. "You mean, like, a board game, or do some people try it on real electric fences?"

"I meant the first one, but why would anyone try it with a real electric fence?"

"I don't know? Some people aren't all that smart, I guess. Um. Can I ask you a question?"
Been an age since I've seen a Ren and Stimpy reference anywhere.

Tey's eyes dance with laughter as I walk out onto the balcony, her face-. I've actually managed to make her blush. She covers her mouth with her fist and half turns her head away. Huy remains impassive, her disinterested glare boring into me. No one else here on Bastet's private balcony. I assume that servants must come in here at some point, but for now everyone's keeping their distance.

"Um." I move my eyes from one to the other. "Marks out of ten?"

Tey doubles over. "Hahheeheeheehah! Oh, what world do you come from where they do such… Things! Were you some great lady's concubine-"

"Um."

"-trained in the art of pleasure? Or were you ruled by Kamadeva or Oshun, and such things are just normal to you?"

Huy raises her left eyebrow, an expression I've seen on the Teal'c android's face on a couple of occasions.

"No, I-."

"And you have ruined Afareen for other men! You will have to take her as your concubine when her year is over!"

"No, her future husband will simply have to raise his game. Though I.. thank you for the compliment you are paying me. I, ah. I wasn't quite sure how the sensation passed on to the goa'uld within the host, so I thought… Best to be thorough."

With the ring letting me monitor her responses in real time, reliably find nerve endings and boosting my stamina… Well, when you're with a living goddess who rules hundreds of systems, you make sure to give it your all.

I glance back towards Bastet's inner sanctum.

It turns out that goa'uld hosts need rest when they're… Exhausted.

Huy's eyes narrow. "Where do you come from? What god rules there?"

"As far as I know we don't have any goa'uld. Certainly none that live openly. Somehow we had a successful rebellion against Ra about five thousand years ago, and we only-."

Her eyes widen. "You are Tau'ri!"

"Yes, but you have to understand, Earth isn't a politically unified planet. With no god to impose order, the humans there live in hundreds of separate nations and frequently make war upon one another. The Tau'ri who have been making a name for themselves fighting Ra and Apophis represent only one of those nations. I come from another."

"Are you enemies, then?"

"No. Honestly, we're not even competition, really. I just don't want to imply that I consider them to have any authority over me." I look them over. "So..? Are you here in case Bastet wants to… Keep trying?"

"No." Tey has mostly recovered herself. "No. We are here because if you are to act as our goddess's regent, you must learn how her realm is administered."

"Ah, thank you, but don't we have… Over a year? Before I can even try to impregnate her true body."

Tey shakes her head. "As she informed you, as the pregnancy progresses control of their shared body will change… Unpredictably, between Queen Bastet and Afareen. It would be awkward should that happen during an official meeting. Naturally, Afareen has been instructed on how to behave should it occur, but it would be awkward if it were noticed."

I nod. "Okay. How far into the pregnancy will that start to happen?"

"It has been some time since Queen Bastet bore a child, but the oldest records suggest that it is the last two months of the pregnancy where things will become most difficult for them. Depending on when she becomes pregnant-"

"Nine days."

"-she-. Nine days?"

"Based on the part of her fertility cycle she's in, that seems most likely. Ah, that Afareen is in. I haven't found any information on miscarriage rates in host pregnancies. I imagine that they're near-zero late term…"

And I should stop talking, because 'inner circle' these women might be, they still think of Bastet as a goddess. And it's not like I can't just move an egg from Afareen's ovary and induce-. No, no, leave it and let nature take it's course. I can't be there to monitor every moment of every day.

I give them a self-effacing smile. "Well, that's my best guess. Will you be observing..? Ah, future efforts?"

"I don't think so." Tey giggles like a woman a third of her age. "Not unless I want ideas for my husband! We just need to be able to confirm that the two of you were intimate during the period where her child will be conceived."

I raise my eyebrows at Huy, but she doesn't respond.

"Ah..?"

Tey frowns at her. "Huy…"

Huy stares over my shoulder. "I am my goddess's servant in all things. If you are to be her husband then you are to be her husband. That I do not understand why she did not pick literally any other man in her domain is my failing alone."

"My impiety, my low level of military preparedness or something else?"

"You pretended to be a god! And now you stand here completely without shame!"

Shame? You did just watch me-.

No, wrong approach. Try again.

"I pretended to be a goa'uld. And look what happened. System Lord Bastet's realm is the stronger for it, and she detected me when no one else did. I'd rather have been completely undetected, but if I have to be spotted then being spotted by my boss is probably the next best thing." I nod slowly. "I underestimated her. I'll have to try to avoid doing that in future."

"Do you not even see how ridiculous your position is? Of course you could not escape Bastet's detection. I suspect that the other gods of her domain are merely humouring you for her sake!"

"Now now." I smirk. "I'm not a goa'uld. I never said that I wasn't a god."

She clenches her fists. "I will-."

I make an upwards flicking gesture with my right hand, causing the stone paving of the balcony to flow upwards into a peak next to me. I then rise off the ground, floating with my feet level with her knees.

"System Lord Bastet keeps me around for very good reasons. Just as Supreme System Lord Ra's warriors were not Jaffa but could still fight extremely well, the fact that I am not a goa'uld does not mean that my achievements didn't happen or that my abilities aren't real."

Huy's face relaxes a little, and she reaches out to poke the stone. Discovering that it is in fact real and solid, she takes a very careful breath.

"Oh, silly me. Let me fix that before she wakes up. I would be a poor guest if I damaged her home."

Huy inclines her head. "I-. I apologise, my lord."

"Oh, don't worry about it. I'm taking this as a learning experience. For both of us. If you're going to be leading Bastet's armies while she convalesces, it's best if we each know what the other is capable of."

"As.. you say."

"So." I smile. "Priestess Tey. I've met all of Bastet's Underlords, but I've only met a couple of the minor gods who serve her directly. Why don't we start with them?"

Now I wish we could see more people be amazed at what Mammon can really do. Perhaps he could assimilate a few enemies to gain info?

"Um." I move my eyes from one to the other. "Marks out of ten?"
Evidently he put on quite the show. Especially if he can elicit such a reaction form a sensible lady like Tey. No doubt Bastet's host is currently a moaning puddle of cat-like satisfaction in the bed. After all, Lanterns make for great lovers...

Tey doubles over. "Hahheeheeheehah! Oh, what world do you come from where they do such… Things! Were you some great lady's concubine-"

"Um."
What, they don't do foreplay around here? Or was it quite the show of tantric skill? 😘 ...Were tentacles involved?

"-trained in the art of pleasure? Or were you ruled by Kamadeva or Oshun, and such things are just normal to you?"

Huy raises her left eyebrow, an expression I've seen on the Teal'c android's face on a couple of occasions.
It's probably a Jaffa thing. The higher the rank, the less demonstrative they seem to be emotionally.

"No, I-."

"And you have ruined Afareen for other men! You will have to take her as your concubine when her year is over!"
...Ah, right, the host. Bastet doesn't keep a permanent 'ride', after all...

"No, her future husband will simple have to raise his game. Though I.. thank you for the compliment you are paying me. I, ah. I wasn't quit sure how the sensation passed on to the goa'uld within the host, so I though… Best to be thorough."

With the ring letting me monitor her responses in real time, reliably find nerve endings and boosting my stamina… Well, when you're with a living goddess who rules hundreds of systems, you make sure to give it your all.
I suspect the Bastet Goa'uld is wondering just what the hell she's gotten herself into. Especialyl if she can impart those skills onto her offspring. Imagine a host of young Goa'uld who can seduce anyone...

I glance back towards Bastet's inner sanctum.

It turns out that goa'uld hosts need rest when they're… Exhausted.
I hope her throat isn't too sore from all the screaming she no doubt did.

Huy's eyes narrow. "Where do you come from? What god rules there?"

"As far as I know we don't have any goa'uld. Certainly none that live openly. Somehow we had a successful rebellion against Ra about five thousand years ago, and we only-."
Well, just drop the big bomb, then, Mammon. :p

Her eyes widen. "You are Tau'ri!"

"Yes, but you have to understand, Earth isn't a politically unified planet. With no god to impose order, the humans there live in hundreds of separate nations and frequently make war upon one another. The Tau'ri who have been making a name for themselves fighting Ra and Apophis represent only one of those nations. I come from another."
Though I doubt they'd find any trace of you if you gave them your real name, not that you could.

"Are you enemies, then?"

"No. Honestly, we're not even competition, really. I just don't want to imply that I consider them to have any authority over me." I look them over. "So..? Are you here in case Bastet wants to… Keep trying?"
...I think she'd rather wait until she can feel her legs again. And walk straight.

"No." Tey has mostly recovered herself. "No. We are here because if you are to act as our goddess's regent, you must learn how her realm is administered."

"Ah, thank you, but don't we have… Over a year? Before I can even try to impregnate her true body."
Careful preparation, then. By the time you step up, you should be a master of civic management.

Tey shakes her head. "As she informed you, as the pregnancy progresses control of their shared body will change… Unpredictably, between Queen Bastet and Afareen. It would be awkward should that happen during an official meeting. Naturally, Afareen has been instructed on how to behave should it occur, but it would be awkward if it were noticed."
Though the only obvious difference might only be a slight waver in her voice. Still, goa'uld would sense even the slightest weakness, and get ideas.

I nod. "Okay. How far into the pregnancy will that start to happen?"

"It has been some time since Queen Bastet bore a child, but the oldest records suggest that it is the last two months of the pregnancy where things will become most difficult for them. Depending on when she becomes pregnant-"
So, closer to seven months at the minimum before he has to really take an active role.

"Nine days."

"-she-. Nine days?"
Ring sensors for the win, eh?

"Based on the part of her fertility cycle she's in, that seems most likely. Ah, that Afareen is in. I haven't found any information on miscarriage rates in host pregnancies. I imagine that they're near-zero late term…"

And I should stop talking, because 'inner circle' these women might be, they still think of Bastet as a goddess. And it's not like I can't just move an egg from Afareen's ovary and induce-. No, no, leave it and let nature take it's course. I can't be there to monitor every moment of every day.
And Bastet would probably not want a hovering mate lurking around. Not as independent as she is.

I give them a self-effacing smile. "Well, that's my best guess. Will you be observing..? Ah, future efforts?"

"I don't think so." Tey giggles like a woman a third of her age. "Not unless I want ideas for my husband! We just need to be able to confirm that the two of you were intimate during the period where her child will be conceived."
So hopefully no audience needed next time.

I raise my eyebrows at Huy, but she doesn't respond.

"Ah..?"

Tey frowns at her. "Huy…"
Oh, did someone discover something about herself back there?

Huy stares over my shoulder. "I am my goddess's servant in all things. If you are to be her husband then you are to be her husband. That I do not understand why she did not pick literally any other man in her domain is my failing alone."

"My impiety, my low level of military preparedness or something else?"
How about all of the above?

"You pretended to be a god! And now you stand here completely without shame!"

Shame? You did just watch me-.

No, wrong approach. Try again.
Not that kind of shame, no. ...I hope he's at least wearing a robe or something.

"I pretended to be a goa'uld. And look what happened. System Lord Bastet's realm is the stronger for it, and she detected me when no one else did. I'd rather have been completely undetected, but if I have to be spotted then being spotted by my boss is probably the next best thing." I nod slowly. "I underestimated her. I'll have to try to avoid doing that in future."
Heh. Don't think they won't pick up on that distinction. But yes, probably best to have your employer in the know, at the minimum.

"Do you not even see how ridiculous your position is? Of course you could not escape Bastet's detection. I suspect that the other gods of her domain are merely humouring you for her sake!"

"Now now." I smirk. "I'm not a goa'uld. I never said that I wasn't a god."
Or at least as close to one as a Lantern can get, which is... Honestly pretty close, especially one who leans into the metaphysical aspects of their Light.

She clenches her fists. "I will-."

I make an upwards flicking gesture with my right hand, causing the stone paving of the balcony to flow upwards into a peak next to me. I then rise off the ground, floating with my feet level with her knees.
...You were saying, ma'am? If nothing else, a display like that would intimidate most people..

"System Lord Bastet keeps me around for very good reasons. Just as Supreme System Lord Ra's warriors were not Jaffa but could still fight extremely well, the fact that I am not a goa'uld does not mean that my achievements didn't happen or that my abilities aren't real."

Huy's face relaxes a little, and she reaches out to poke the stone. Discovering that it is in fact real and solid, she takes a very careful breath.
Yes, she's having a very nasty realisation about him, isn't she?

"Oh, silly me. Let me fix that before she wakes up. I would be a poor guest if I damaged her home."

Huy inclines her head. "I-. I apologise, my lord."
And well you should. He's going to be your boss eventually.

"Oh, don't worry about it. I'm taking this as a learning experience. For both of us. If you're going to be leading Bastet's armies while she convalesces, it's best if we each know what the other is capable of."

"As.. you say."

"So." I smile. "Priestess Tey. I've met all of Bastet's Underlords, but I've only met a couple of the minor gods who serve her directly. Why don't we start with them?"
And back to business with nary a second thought. More than some Goa'uld can manage after an outburst, certainly.

I'll bet the servants have taken a very wide berth of the lady's quarters. Though the gossip mill will be spinning into high gear if they made quite the caterwauling racket. At least he seems to have won the approval of Bastet's highest palace subordinates with that divine display. So, before long he'll basically have the run of the place while Bastet's pre-occupied. The possibilites abound.
 
Could he assimilate the gou'uld and not the host to be completely undetected that way?
He did that already. When he went and assassinated that one (its why people have commented on the glowing orange gou'uld before). The genetic memories were so much that he ended up implanting it into him properly to help him with the load.
