The Helmet The Director It’s strange to feel tears falling onto my face. People don’t cry over me, or at least not for me unless they’re tears of pain. Shadow Mask domed me right in my forehead, he’s a much better shot than I thought. If he didn’t take so much pride in fighting hand-to-hand, […]
The Breakout Unknown “Duh, dada, duh, dada, duh dada dada,” I hum. I like humming. It’s keeps everything timed in motion “Aaahh, aaaaahhhh, aahhh, gurgle cok!” Especially when people are screaming, it’s so distracting. But humming, humming tunes everyone out. At least prisoners are polite, sitting silently against the wall, in their beds, they watch […]
The Tower THE DIRECTOR “When the Hood and the Rodriguez’s gets here, I want this place in complete and utter lockdown, Susan,” I order my assistant, running through the halls as everyone is bum rushing it around the Needle. First Espada was taken out, then Pyre was personally taken in by Hundress. That means Icicle […]
The Picnic PYRE No more superpowers for the rest of the day, no more trials, no more costumes, just family and a picnic. No more watching the Hood piss away everyone’s reputation, no more waiting hand on foot for S.I.L.A.S. to call me when there’s trouble. While yes, last time the Director called me I […]
The Understanding THE HOOD Walking out of that courtroom, I feel like I’m on top. There are many things I’ve done as the Hood, but speaking isn’t one of them. Everyone is always guessing my motives, my mindset, and now they have a bit to chew on, a bit that chews into them as much […]
The Removal of Power KEN It’s so tranquil here, so beautiful. The Satpura Range in India is gorgeous, breathtaking, there’s so much greener here than in Seoul, and certainly less people. Maybe not to the people here but… Standing before the mountain range, I see less stone than I do green by the mountainsides covered […]
The Trial THE DIRECTOR I’m sure no one should be surprised, but Dr. Stupid-ass-name is being picked up across the country, not just by Aegis City’s news outlets. For once watching TV is of the utmost importance and not just my lunch time entertainment. And for once the news isn’t purposely trying to anger me, […]
The Lunch Break THE HOOD “Thank you again for doing this!” Emily yells. She has to yell so I can hear her over the wind. We’re flying to her house, and she’s got me on her shoulders again. It’s better than being carried bridal style, but it’s still… weird. I don’t mind flying so much, […]
The Stakeout PYRE Stakeouts are boring. It’s one of the few things movies never succeeded in making look fun, but they at least turned that into a joke. It’s not funny in real life. It’s just sitting and waiting for someone to do something, and that can never be anything but boring. We started […]
The Scientist PYRE Dr. Ray, it really has been a while. I don’t think I ever spoke to her once, fire probably isn’t her thing. That all said, AUSI is a nice school, big campus, a park in the middle, and those metal tent over the pathways for when it snows or rains. If my […]
