Prologue 2 Date: April 2022May 20th, 2008 in Casey, DCU, Rp by dcmcomicDusk…..He always waits for dusk. He knows its herald will be fat with drink and food, but mostly drink. The liquor will dull his wit, cause him to be careless, and Kal El want him to slip up……….to give him a reason. The Phoenician is nestled within its blazon glow of torches on the outer walls. As Kal El floats above, he can see the Centurions walking the walled perimeter. He can hear them speak as the go about their rounds. Centurion1: Do you see him? Centurion2: Shhhh Centurion1: But you do see him too, right? Centurion2: Shhhh There is a brief pause. Centurion1: How long has he been there? Centurion2: 3 hours Centurion1: Shouldn’t we in form our king? Centurion2: Well, I plan on waking...

Deliverance Heroe After the Blast
Circa 2031:
Deliverance walked following the white aura for several days before he lost track of him. Food and shelter were more pressing problems at the moment. He spends his nights meditating on the three auras he was given. Finding them each night and noting the aruas around them.
Some nights his meditations are not so easy. Thoughts of his young son creep into his mind. Haunting and desperate his son tries to speak to him lost in a dark place. He wakes often sweating. Holding the only reminder of his life prior.
A young woman walks into a tent with a bowl of stew for him. He has spent the last two days holding up here. In the Barrens there is little in the way of comforts.

Deliverance Heroes The Pen is Mightier
June 17th, 2008 in uncategorized by Dark 3030 First Journal Entry I made a choice to follow the white aura. I can not help but feel drawn to the power of this cloth that ‘Father’ gave to me. I also can not feel being manipulated. I have a job to do. While I am sure it will be important for now I can not let the white aura get away. 2030 Re-con White Aura Following the white aura is not easy. It is clear he is driven. I have followed him to a destroyed compound. He retrieved three items of importance. 1. A shield with the inscription ‘The only thing needed for evil to trimuph is for good men to do nothing. You are a good man my love.’ 2. A note from his presumably late wife named Tifa. 3. A doll the significance of which is not yet clear....

May 19th, 2008 in Deliverance, DnDCU 2008, Matt by Dark Early 2012: He had feared it. He had asked her to stop. She simply could not help herself. His wife was a thief. His heart could not stop loving her in spite of herself. Unfortunately this time she had not made a clean get away. Even worse she had taken her three year old son with her. She was being considerate. Letting her husband get some rest. The result of this was tragic. That night Crane got to watch not only his wife be dragged away to the Gulag but also his son. Crane: He is three years old! He had nothing to do with this. How can you do this! Stop! He slumps sobbing unabashed in the street while the sun sets on his back. He spends night and day moving through all levels of what can...

Deliverance Heroes Rubber Ducky part 3 of 4
June 4th, 2019:
They toasted glasses as their son Johnathan sleeps on the floor. His wife is attractive and graceful even in the filth of Gotham. No words are spoken. His wife Mayden is a telepath. They can share but a thought that no amount of words could convey. They celebrate not their anniversary but the incarceration of Crane. Seven years they have been here together to the day. Seven years since Crane killed a council member in the summer of 2012.
The celebration is empty however. Neither can escape the torment of what is to come.
Crane: (He may survive. Than all we dream of could return.)
Mayden: (We both know what this is. The lives of many in exchange

Deliverance Heroes Rubber Ducky part 2 of 4
Earlier in 2030:
It is early and the sun shines over the artificial landscape. It is very nearly convincing but fails to alleviate his internal yearning to feel the warmth of the real sun.
Deliverance: (Sally what is todays date?)
As he speaks to the telepath he fumbles a small rubber duck in his left pocket.
Sally: (You know I am not allowed.)
Deliverance: (I know.)
Sally: (Spring of 2035.)
Deliverance, as he has come to be called much to his disdain, kneels down taking a palm full of sand and letting it fall through his hands in a mock hourglass. A hand rests on his shoulder. His mentor and the only physical contact he has had since the fall of Gotham

May 19th, 2008 in Deliverance, DnDCU 2008, Matt by Dark
Spring 2030: Stalman had just left the simulated environment when the explosion occurred. It ripped through the place Crane called home and left him laying tattered in a field a few hundred yards away. When Deliverance awoke he was lying on the ground with a piece of paper in his hand with the sun rising before him. The paper had been torn from the small spiral note book in his pocket. The piece of paper had three pictures on it. They were crude for what they represented but good enough. Is it here? He fumbles through his coat pockets dropping the piece of paper almost in a panic until he holds it. He feels a tear ...

Xander - And so the Journey Begins...Day after the events in The Past Relived I’m standing outside his “office”. I can’t bring myself to go inside. I’ve known him for years now, but something about him still intimidates me. Perhaps it’s the power he wields, or the position he holds. To be responsible for the well-being of an entire city, especially one removed from civilization must take a lot. Plus to be married to the sister of the Emperor and the animosity that must exist. No one knows, except her what happened between them two, just that whatever it is, he carries that burden squarely on his shoulders. Might as well get it over with. I open the grand doors to his sanctum and must have caught him off guard. He’s sitting on his throne, fingers...

Xander - The Past RelivedTen years after Battle of Asgard I sit straight up in a heap of sweat. My muscle tense up, ready to fight. I calm down, realizing that I’m in my bed. It was only a nightmare. The bed stirs. I look down at Audra. I must have disturbed her. Audra: “What’s wrong?” She rolls over to look at me and wipes at her eyes, trying to focus. “Nothing, just…” Audra: “Another nightmare?” I smile as she finishes my sentence. “It’s nothing; really. Go back to sleep.” I try to assure her, but I know it won’t work. She knows me too well to think that it’s nothing. Audra: “Same one or a different one?” “It was different and a lot worse this time.” This wasn’t the first time...

Xander - The Next StepAlone in my hospital bed; cooped up for weeks. No windows, no clocks, no concept of time. I couldn’t stand watching the time slowly slip by. I can’t stand needles or tests anymore either. I’ve been poked and prodded so much; I’m starting to feel like a rat. And there’s the doc. Sanders: “Good morning. How are you feeling today?” I roll my eyes. I didn’t need to know it’s morning. With a strain, “I’m…ok…” Damn, that is hard; and painful. Sanders: “O…K…that is still weird. Well sir, your condition continues to be stable. The injections seem to be holding the Krypto Virus at bay. Unless we can find a cure, you’ll be taking these for the rest of your life. You’re... |
