Their powers just dumped all these designs into their heads and gave them ideas, but most of them simply build intuitively. I will continue to work on the problem and will let you know if I find anything else. Good. Closing the folder, the Director pushed it away from her then stared at it for some seconds. He grinned back at her. Killed them off? Worldwide, all at the same time? She shook her head. Im not interested in telling most people what to do, its very boring. If we have to look for you were going to be annoyed and we might be a little rough as a result. She could have fought back, of course, but a lot of the time the abuse was mental rather than physical, something teenaged girls are terrifyingly good at. Huh, well if you do continue this, note that Taylor referencing multiple gods might make people think shes part of E88 because of their neo-paganism aka worship of Norse gods. No matter how much Crystal likes her hunky friend, there's no way she should be telling him this. Oh, my god, thats amazing, she mumbled, her power tracing out the biological intricacies of the body she was touching. Adrian Gorgey May 11, 2015 #2 I- Coronation It was dark. She stopped a couple of feet away and seemed to gaze at him as if judging his sincerity. As little as possible, Im afraid. I have to ask. Yep. It took a long time and a hell of a lot of experimentation, but I finally worked out how to make an insect that could act as a bridge between a computer network and my own. What? Stung them. Too muscled. An Idiot's Guide to the Underworld [Worm/Hades]. . You're Taylor Hebert. After a few seconds, she shook her head. Despite her ideals, or probably because of them, she would have taken it very hard. He twitched quite a lot, the sound taking him by surprise after the silence of the roof broken only by the hum of the air conditioner fans and a faint sound of traffic from the road ten stories below, muted due to the fact it was Sunday. I lost a lot as well. Her voice dropped in a way that conveyed infinite fatigue and sadness. No cases at all. Its spread by mosquitoes, isnt it? Yes, the Anopheles genus. He thought for a moment. It could fit into either or both depending on the insects in question. Very bad. She laughed bitterly. Dont worry, Im not going to cause any problems for you guys unless you cause problems for me, she eventually said, turning and walking back towards the edge of the roof. Elephants have nearly three times as many, but humans are right near the top of the list from that point of view. Tada! Like literally in the D&D sense. 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. Director Piggot looked at the photos in the opened folder and winced despite herself. Simply killing all those insect vectors would be almost impossible, but whatever has caused this has gone one better. Not hostile. Anyway, I need something to eat. She could sense the energy glands pumping sugars and massive quantities of ATP to fuel the energy expenditure. If she was truthful about her abilities, I think we need to add a Tinker rating as well, Armsmaster commented somewhat reluctantly. Taylor knew she didn't have long and tried to write the shortest thing that would point at Sophia. But it's still sort of weird and creepy." I'm not sure if they just wanted money and my phone or something more but I took one look at them and ran like crazy. She shuddered in remembrance. Did Lisa just 'Explode' with Realization and Exuberance? I won't let them down, he added more quietly. Who the hell is Hive? she exploded. Keep the canon discussion to the appropriate thread. What muggers? Her face was going that peculiar shade of red that Amy knew from long experience meant she was going to do something stupid without thinking it through. Do you know how many neurons there are in a human brain? He shook his head. Good idea. Nothing happened for a while. What do you know about second triggers? They're incredibly rare, for a start, he replied. Lifting a hand she waved it dismissively. I may add the stealth capability I have to it at some point, its a little too small for that to work properly but it could still help the thing hide. Watching in wonder Amy saw the insect lift off with a faint high-pitched whine she could barely hear, like a small mosquito, then fly to and enter a tiny hole in the carapace on the arm of the hand that was glowing. So, with that new chapter of 'A taste of peaches' dropping, I can't help but wonder if there are any other fics out there where Taylor is or becomes a goddess. This body is a construct I designed for human interaction. Not quite a psychopath, but amoral at best. Assault paused, something shiny off to the right catching his eye as he moved over the rooftops of the outskirts of the central business area of Brockton Bay. Adaptation was good up until Taylor got the monkey form, after that she became an unbearable asshole. Emotions are mostly in the endocrine system and thats a piece of cake to manipulate. I can hear it, she added, which didn't actually help. Little is publicly known about it, save that the tremor of its creation rippled around the world. I mean, look at this, its based on mollusk chromatophores, bioluminescence, and retinal light sensing cells. Create an account to follow your favorite communities and start taking part in conversations. Amy. Hives voice sounded pleased. It sounds pretty bad, even at this time of year. Shaker or Blaster? Miss Militia asked curiously. Can also be found on Sufficient Velocity here. Even after her death, her husband and daughter knew very little about her. The sky was completely clear, after a cold mid-March night, with not a cloud to be seen. She shook her head. The unusual activity on the internet, almost certainly. literally all the conflicts just get waved away on accident. Caught in Causality (Dr Manhattan/Watchman). Amy smiled a little. The sole survivor of the Hebert family sat in his chair for another ten minutes, before he quietly got up, retrieved the pistol, carefully unloaded it and locked it in his desk, then went downstairs and out the door of the Dockworkers Association building, locking it behind him. That's what it was meant to be. Resolving to exercise more if she survived the next few hours, she pelted down the narrow alleyway hearing the several sets of footsteps behind her hesitate, then follow where shed turned off the main road. But a figure from Annettes past found them all the same. Emma's body is discovered over winter break, the locker never happens, Taylor triggers with a thinker power remarkably reminiscent of supercop Harrier du Bois' unique way of looking at the world. What happened to you? Its more an unwinding story than anything that is likely to go anywhere, as its always good fun to throw a completely OP Taylor at the Wormverse. Not natural one, Construct. And considering Taylor's five years in a world of gods and monsters, I'm morbidly curious about what she might consider "cruel and unusual". Do I look human? she asked rhetorically, waving one of her hands at herself, one that wasn't resting on the air conditioner. This will probably be a relatively short fic, I don't have any schedule in mind because I am writing this to amuse myself first and foremost. 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. They looked at him, making him shrug. They stood there for another minute or so. What did you do to them? she asked curiously. There are other possibilities but they become successively less likely. That's how bad it was. He understood what she meant and winced. Youd probably know her under a different name, though, Sophia. But you see the problem. As he approached, he slowly became aware that there were a number of other oddities about the person which began to make him slightly less sure it was a woman at all. No knowledge of League Of Legends Needed! In the end he said, But you said you were born here. 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. Taylor Hebert is dead, Assault. Eventually Piggot stirred behind her desk. Has a bit of power wank, but most of the conflict so far is people not having figured out Taylors stronger than they are. Hebert? Well He didn't want to be rude to someone who seemed pretty agreeable to talk to so far. You may extract some amusement value from it, you might not. If you have enough examples to compare and enough background data you can start to make sense of the principles behind it. On. It had been pretty obvious for the last ten minutes that her status as Panacea, the Healer Super-hero, wasnt going to save her from what was at least a nasty mugging, if not something worse. Victoria was floating an inch off the floor which explained the total silence of her approach. The figure disappeared from view as he bounded up the side of the next building over, redirecting his kinetic energy to keep him moving steadily upwards, bouncing between the two buildings. A storehouse of weapons beyond imagination, controlled by an enigmatic old man of unclear origins and an abused teenager. Theyve managed to somehow fix the problem without causing more than minimal environmental impact. Diebuster cross. They were getting closer. Im probably saner than almost anyone now. 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. She mentally stalled, staring at the figure watching her curiously from a short distance away. Put it all together and She faded out of view. After a moment the figure waved at her. Same again. On. She was going to die very soon, so using that control, her abilities came up with an interesting solution to prevent this happening. 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. (Worm), Worm - UFO Defense (Worm/XCOM - Fusion Fic). Unless Marcus becomes a super important character, I feel like Crystal could have been thinking about the ex-Ward thing internally. Wings? Undaunted, beaten but unbowed, she resolves to drag Earth Bet to a brighter tomorrow, no matter how much it kicks and screams on the way there. I'll admit you look unusual, but I've seen worse. Thanks, she laughed. Restricted to insect or arthropod based forms from what she said, but with additions that could come from anywhere. Nice try. Practically instant loss of voluntary muscle control. She almost sounded scared. Which is a good thing, overall, I suspect. You can control yourself that much? he asked in wonder. Incomplete, and I haven't read it in a while, but I remember it being quite good. So on balance, yes, its a good thing, although the cause might not be. Youre thinking its parahuman involvement, then. It wasnt a question. She hoped. A story? he inquired. That's five point four times ten to the twentieth power for human neurons. Has a rewrite too which is also pretty good but incomplete, a significant enough difference in the story that reading both is recommended. Putting the matter to one side she listened while trying not to draw any more attention to herself. Even through the pain and disorientation she knew what was going to happen, she knew she was going to die, and she didn't want to! Thanks for listening. The woman began to walk towards the edge of the roof, while he watched, still stunned. The brunette shrugged. It was strange. Her sister waited, while she thought, looking impatient. Thank god, it was dark. 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. Memories of Iron Taylor gains an AU Tony Stark's memories, book 1 of 2 complete, but dead. The second story I started is this one. It more than makes up for the greater simplicity. He stayed silent, staring wide-eyed in horror at the implications. Assuming you had time. You OK there, Amelia? she asked. From my point of view it's been more than four hundred years. As close as Taylor was to her mom, she barely knew of her time with Lustrum. She is for all intents and purposes a biological supercomputer of a level I can scarcely comprehend. Is the sole requirment that someone calls her a goddess, that's it, or is there something more specific? Youre shitting me, she breathed faintly. I was admiring the design. Somehow rolling to her feet she kept going, all the while hoping someone would help her. Oh, Jesus Christ, he breathed, putting it all together suddenly. But thats only my guess at the moment. It looked much closer to the head of some sort of wasp if anything, with compound eyes and a pair of obviously insectoid antennae sticking up from between them at the top. There wasn't anything else to do, those guys were only about twenty seconds behind me and coming in the only way out. If you need me, just call for me. You still havent given me a name, he reminded her. I'm fine, just a little shaken up, and that's all there is to it. Releasing her sister she looked at the two hand-prints on the other woman's shirt, wincing a little. But But? he asked when she went silent again. tip: katekyou "alternate universe" sort:>words, Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Major Character Death, Choose Not To Use Archive Warnings, Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings (72), Pocket Monsters | Pokemon - All Media Types (4), | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia (Anime & Manga) (4), Victoria Dallon | Glory Girl | Antares (34), Taylor Hebert | Skitter | Weaver/Lisa Wilbourn | Tattletale (19), Amy Dallon | Panacea | Red Queen & Taylor Hebert | Skitter | Weaver (11), Emma Barnes/Taylor Hebert | Skitter | Weaver (7), Taylor Hebert | Skitter | Weaver & Lisa Wilbourn | Tattletale (7), Victoria Dallon | Glory Girl/Taylor Hebert | Skitter | Weaver (7), Taylor Hebert | Skitter | Weaver/Sophia Hess | Shadow Stalker (7), Dragon/Colin Wallis | Armsmaster | Defiant (6), Taylor Hebert | Skitter | Weaver/Rachel Lindt | Bitch | Hellhound (5), Madison Clements/Taylor Hebert | Skitter | Weaver (5), Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence (39), Tinker Taylor Hebert | Skitter | Weaver (27), totally stole Karrin Murphy from Dresden files, I shamelessly steal characters from other fandoms though, Danny Hebert & Taylor Hebert | Skitter | Weaver, Amy Dallon | Panacea | Red Queen & Victoria Dallon | Glory Girl | Antares, Dragon/Colin Wallis | Armsmaster | Defiant, Fuck the Empire 88 and fuck the Nazis they rode in on, Miss Militia decides to adopt an overpowered cannibal child, can be a bit creepy and weird as fuck sometimes, HANNAH WILL BE THE BEST GODDAMN MOTHER AND DAMN ANYONE WHO TRIES TO STOP HER, No Scion No Endbringers fuck the Grimdark this is a comfort fic, Taylor Hebert | Skitter | Weaver/Greg Veder, Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings, Taylor Hebert | Skitter | Weaver/Sophia Hess | Shadow Stalker, Original Female Character/Original Female Character/Original Female Character, The sheer audacity and lack of anything resemling shame, Those who live to run away live to make a complete nuisance of themselves another day, Having other people pay for your mistakes is one way to solve all of your problems, Victoria Dallon | Glory Girl/Taylor Hebert | Skitter | Weaver, Also called: my excuse to make Taylor kiss girls, Taylor Hebert | Skitter | Weaver/Rachel Lindt | Bitch | Hellhound, Taylor Hebert has no time for your bullshit, Taylor Hebert | Skitter | Weaver/Lisa Wilbourn | Tattletale, Percy Jackson and the Olympians & Related Fandoms - All Media Types.
