Or Merchants? I don't think they were any of those, just generic low level scum. Come on out. One of his friends tapped his bat on the ground with a metallic ringing sound, grinning. Find Shadow Stalker and have her see me, she said. Peering around the side of the large metal container she could see in the flickering light given off by a single lamp mounted high on the wall three men, all looking very rough and scruffy, walk slowly into the yard and glance around. Dispatch, this is Assault, I'm just going off route to check something. Do you require backup, Assault? the voice of the dispatch officer asked briskly. I am. Theres one other thing that Ive been wondering about, but I dont have any proof yet. What happened? Amy shrugged a little. Hi, Assault. But I pretty much got better. 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. In the end, as the footsteps grew louder from the alley, she dived between the third and fourth dumpster, which had a gap just large enough to permit her fairly slight frame to squeeze in. It would have been fairly quick, I believe, he added after a moment. 'Nearly a week since my life ended.' Not to mention the other various problems I can see could arise from all that. How bad could it have been? he asked, curious to see what she came up with. Puzzled and worried she followed as he led her to a meeting room, which she trailed him into. I dont know. But dont immediately think the worst. Her avatar smiled slightly. Something that looked a little like weirdly modified muscle was wrapped around a lot of the torso, strands of it leading down all four arms to the claws. All linked together into one huge neural network. Oh, Christ on a stick, he moaned. 4 Lightlinks 2 yr. ago Still, that's in the past. She is for all intents and purposes a biological supercomputer of a level I can scarcely comprehend. Then sighed sadly. She stopped a couple of feet away and seemed to gaze at him as if judging his sincerity. Looking up for a moment she couldnt see any trace of her. Really efficiently, no fight or anything. What did she do? Vicky now looked fascinated. 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. Strictly speaking, I didn't. She was fitting facts to the story we wanted to hear, not the one she was going to tell. Well, he began slowly, that's pretty much the only choices for a cape. What a limited view of the world you people have, she replied, sounding like she was smirking even though her alien visage betrayed no emotion he could read. God, Vicky, Amy said with exasperation, going back to her task with a shake of her head. Not all of it, not yet, but quite a lot, yes. Kill all the insects, everyone on Earth follows them in a few weeks. There were some good things that came out of it, but The upper pair of arms moved in a shrug of sorts. Dragonslayers? I've enjoyed it so far, hope there will be more. Because it was the right thing to do. Four arms? Vicky gaped at her sister. Now what do you think the equivalent number is for insect neurons? She cocked her head as she asked the question. Reaching an altitude of a few hundred feet Hive headed directly towards the Dallon house, making Amy wonder how she knew where it was. I only got back today, you see, she added, and I thought I'd come here first. There was someone in the house. She Triggers, with the power to copy other powers. I'll admit you look unusual, but I've seen worse. Thanks, she laughed. She was terrified of telling her father, but she told the teachers, people who should have listened and done their jobs. Fingerprints and surface DNA are impossible to retrieve as a result, so all we can do is interview possible witnesses. I don't think so, but I'll get back to you on that. I've got a rough idea of where I wanted to take it, but it's only a basic outline, and I'm not sure if it would actually work out. Fuck, she said in a small voice. Yes, thanks. Amy. Hives voice sounded pleased. But thats only my guess at the moment. Around two thousand times as fast most of the time, in fact. Or at least, nearly prevent it from happening. A story? he inquired. By rejecting non-essential cookies, Reddit may still use certain cookies to ensure the proper functionality of our platform. Turning to her rescuer, she studied her for a moment, then indicated the house. Maybe 4 or above. True. Add Mover, probably at least 3 as well, for the flight. She tried a couple of doors that led into the buildings she was at the back of, but they were locked. She keeps her head down and takes people's sh!t. Once I managed to get enough control over the insect senses and decode the vision, which was a pain in the ass, I started watching what Tinkers were doing all over the place. She snickered a little, shaking her head. Taylor often read fairytales when she was a child, and was endlessly amused by the talking animals, trolls, and fairies. Amy paused, then nodded. 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. A faint, deep, humming sound slowly percolated through her mind. She was in there for hours, and absolutely no one helped her. Not to mention anything she designed specifically for the job. Piggot looked at her, then back at the monitor, before sighing heavily and leaning back in her chair. The exoskeleton seemed to be made primarily of carbon, in the shape of incredible monomolecular structures, all biologically created. Somethings wrong, she said slowly, concentrating. Two of them were carrying baseball bats while the remaining one had a machete in his hand. Sorry, I've got nothing. This made her laugh again. It makes it sound so quick. Listening quietly, Assault waited while she apparently gathered her thoughts. Dont worry too much about her, she said she didnt care any more. Why were you she began. She designed that body from scratch. Dart? Wasp. At her puzzled look, Hive held up a hand, which immediately had a small insect land on it. It could fit into either or both depending on the insects in question. Then one day, the three main perpetrators of the torture managed to outdo themselves. Anyway, since I wrote it, I may as well let others read it. Can also be found on Sufficient Velocity here. I can hear it, she added, which didn't actually help. In them, in the nineteen thousand, eight hundred and twenty seven cockroaches within one hundred feet of here, in the housefly sitting on Armsmaster's second monitor from the left in his lab, in the spiders in the attic of the Sydney Opera house, in the crabs at the bottom of the English Channel All of them. When she was sure that Sophia was doing as she was told, the older woman looked back at Dragon, scanned the faces of the others, then asked, In your estimation what should we rate Hive as? Wondering who Hive was, Sophia listened carefully. Anywhere. He paused, then looked up from the microscope, his brow furrowed, and met her virtual eyes. I find it hard to believe that she doesnt know something about what must have been a very vicious bullying campaign against this girl. We have too much to lose right now. For example, if it's just a story where Taylor can control the Endbrings and fixes all the problems in the world in a couple of chapters, I won't be interested in that. Adaptation was good up until Taylor got the monkey form, after that she became an unbearable asshole. Not least because no one listens anyway. Agent Carl Rile rather enjoyed stake-outs. I eventually realized what had happened to me, and I think I more or less went insane for a while. I've posted the beginnings of the BOLO cross here, and being quite fond of it, may well at some point get back to it. The family wasn't the same after that, obviously. Whether she can succeed is another matter entirely. Insect control. Im not saying there isnt some weird power or combination of powers that could kill me either, nothing is really immortal, but even if there was, the aftereffects would be bad enough to make using it pretty much impossible. Why?Assault asked, then hastily added, Not that Im saying I want to kill you. He got the impression she was more or less grinning at him for what hed said. Danny Hebert sat in his office chair, looking out the window at the crumbling ships in the distance, lit from the side by the setting sun, his hands slowly feeling what they were holding. Is the sole requirment that someone calls her a goddess, that's it, or is there something more specific? Run. Taylor. Would be interesting to see a story around the world after/through Taylors changes. 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. 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. Shut up both of you, will you? she gritted, as Rachel came in at the rear of the group with all three dogs at her heels. All this from whats basically a completely broken Thinker/Master combo We havent finished yet either, Piggot sighed, also looking at the monitor. It worked, more or less, and she slowly began to get over the death of her mother. The insect-woman sighed faintly, pausing her story for a few seconds. Director Piggot sighed, staring at the folder that detailed the last moments of a fifteen-year-old girls life in nauseating detail. If Sophia is involved and we can prove it, nail her ass to the wall. If we cant prove anything? Keep a close eye on her even then, Piggot said. OK, we understand you find it fascinating. Twitching, she quickly released her hand, looking embarrassed. She had parents who were good and loving people, despite not being well off, and a friend. I dont like the implications. No. Piggot sighed in turn. Im not a Tinker, at all, but I can fake it with the best of them. She tapped the side of her head, her claws making a faint click. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. Acceleration Taylor can control vectors, complete. She had been having a strange dream, one where she crying out for help to anyone who would listen, begging the cosmos to deliver her from the torment of her life. If nothing else the ecological side-effects of that would be horrific and very noticeable. Six billion or so humans on the planet, times ninety billion per human, gives a total neural capacity for the species of about five hundred and forty quintillion neurons. OK, he said slowly, wondering where she was going with this. I turned off most of my emotions a long time ago, they just caused problems. My instincts tell me your instincts are probably right, one way or another. What do we tell the father? Armsmaster asked, half-turning to the door as he spoke, then waiting. From what she said her powers connected all the neurons directly somehow, bypassing the normal synaptic connectivity and electrochemical processes. She shook her head in apparent awe. A member of the ABB was involved in a grudge with some E88 thugs and it spread to the school late that night, more or less randomly. I think Taylor's doing a pretty good job of retiring so far. Yes, princes were always her favorite; after all, they were the only ones allowed to kiss the princesses awake. Standing there for a moment he inspected it. Stuck inside a box smaller than a coffin, surrounded by horrific crap that should have been incinerated days ago, in enormous pain and sensory overload from seeing and hearing and smelling through millions of insects Then the heat, and the smoke. Ive found something a bit weird and I wanted to run it past you before I told anyone else, Dragon said from the monitor, the camera mounted on top whining very faintly as it repositioned itself under her control to look at what he was doing. Lacey and Kurt? While the overall body shape, except for the extra arms, was more or less humanoid in pattern, the head wasn't. Around ninety billion. The back of the torso looked like it split open down the centerline, and was more very dark green than gray under the iridescence. She began a dive for the door, only to feel a sudden pinprick on the back of her left hand. 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. Two of them had metal baseball bats and the other one had a machete. A wise mans heart is seldom glad if hes truly wise" - The Poetic Edda. A Rogue or Independent, then. No. Assault stared at her. The night watchman had gone for a smoke outside the front door and the cleaning staff had all left by the point it started. 10 even? Piggot asked, looking worried. I'm looking forward what Lisa and/or her Shard comes up with. "Taylor?" "It's you!" Taylor exclaimed. The first couple of decades were very bad. The sky was completely clear, after a cold mid-March night, with not a cloud to be seen. Then it copied her mind into it. The man lost his wife less than three years ago, and now his only daughter in horrific circumstances. Hey, wait! he called just before she reached the edge. The muggers that Hive dealt with, she explained carefully. Alt-Power Taylor Hebert. Eventually she tentatively held out a hand, while thinking this was quite unlike her normal behavior, but putting it down to stress and sheer wondering curiosity. 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. Hive indicated the nearest one with a graceful hand gesture. Basically everywhere. What sort of activity? Colin watched as she looked momentarily uncertain, not a common occurrence. So what are you going to do now? he asked rather plaintively. Taylor Hebert.. I was hiding behind it, she replied, now a little internally amused herself. But a figure from Annettes past found them all the same. Aside from the obvious. 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. The Taken Queen Taylor gets the power of The Taken King from Destiny. Welcome to Godkiller everyone! I genuinely thought I'd gone mad. She sighed. The man standing on the other side of her desk nodded once. After a few seconds, she held up her upper right hand, the superhero beside her watching with interest as a wasp appeared from nowhere and landed on the extended first finger. The thing that he kept coming back to was that he was fairly sure she wasn't fully human. Unless Marcus becomes a super important character, I feel like Crystal could have been thinking about the ex-Ward thing internally. Its easy. Please consider turning it on! Not any more. Slipping easily off her perch, she stood and looked around. Half-way there she heard the sound of the other capes wings, turning around to see she was gone. "Goddess" is not well definined between systems, different properties have very different ideas of what counts as a 'god'. She loved reading, like her mother did, while her friend was more into slightly more girly things, but they had a lot of fun together. It immediately beeped at him. You really want to know? she asked after a long moment. Dawn of Worm Taylor is a Primarch from an AU version of Warhammer 40k, complete. Weirdly, after the initial shock, he didn't find her appearance particularly scary. He waited silently, thinking there was something vaguely familiar about this. No. She is imbued with a multitude of powers, with which she is to complete a single mission: bring ruin in the Horned Rat's name, or face his wrath. The man who pulled the pin died a few hours later from a bad case of bullet to the brain, so it's not even possible to prosecute him. He opened his mouth, not himself sure what he was going to say to that. Whining sound. Who the hell is Hive? she exploded. But, of course, they found me anyway. And this Hive person? "I made it" She was too tall. BBPD is still running their own investigation into the surrounding circumstances of why young Miss Hebert was in that locker, theyre interviewing the entire student body and the staff, but so far no one is saying anything. Every day he'd eat the same kind of food, dress the same, sit in front of the same kind of shows. 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. Really? Something changed. He couldnt entirely disagree with any of the points she raised. She nodded slightly. Im running an emotional overlay right now for human interaction otherwise Id probably sound like a psychopath or a robot, but Im neither. OK, then, we have a Thinker rating of Run Away. 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. Thats scary. as well as What rains you bring Another Diebuster cross, but less escalation, incomplete IIRC. That was the first problem, insect senses are not at all like human ones. There was something about the voice that made him suspect the person beside him had gone through things that were beyond his understanding in many ways. 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. Sorry. After her Trigger Taylor decides to confront Hess about her bullying, somewhere the teachers can't take Hess'side. I triggered, the power was a Master one essentially. (No knowledge of LoL is needed, tho it would help. You did it? I did. A real AI isnt automatically a threat, you know, despite what the movies would have you believe. That may be so but even if not we need to look into it, he retorted, reaching over to turn off the microscope, then pick up his helmet. Youre shitting me, she breathed faintly. I hid behind a dumpster, which is where I got that crap on me. I've been away she told him, sounding like she regretted this. Zero. If we have to look for you were going to be annoyed and we might be a little rough as a result. Id expect a Brute rating of some sort, Assault added. May as well tell you a story, she said, leaning back a little and bracing her upper body with all four arms. Off. Turning, she grabbed both her sister's shoulders. And they can produce some weird results. Both true. She nodded. The only negative is that this is a one shot, and although long and good, it still leaves you with an empty feeling in your soul when you finish and want more. See you around. Amy nodded. If it wasn't for the fact that she's useful she'd be locked up right now. Not that he's complaining. Even if I wanted to, I dont think I could do very much about it at this point, and I dont particularly want to anyway. Annette Hebert was a mystery. More like Thinker If you need to ask youre already dead, he muttered, then looked up as he became aware everyone was staring. 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. But the end result was totally unlike anything shed ever encountered. Dragon, weirdly, did. That would happen. Oh god I am so excited this is getting it's own thread. The burn pattern essentially confirms this theory. Isn't it a beautiful day? The man was still conscious, she could see his eyes moving frantically, but he somehow seemed to have completely lost control of his body and voice. Your wild guesses tend to be scary good. Not a classical beauty, though. You sure youre OK, Lisa? Brian asked as she spun on the spot, looking for what was making the sound. Reddit and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to provide you with a better experience. Wasp stings hurt, sure, I remember that from before I got my powers, but unless there were a lot of them or the muggers were allergic I can't see how that would help much. These were special wasps, Amy giggled. Diebuster cross. After a moment he slowly turned his head to look at the moth that had been flying circles around the light over one of the desks for the last half hour. Kind of. 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. She saw energy storage glands, full of sugars and enzymes, linked to biochemical pathways that would give a massive power boost when activated.
