CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE - WILLIAM

William Manton adjusted the rearview mirror, though it hardly mattered. His van was parked far from the fight, hidden in the shadow of a dilapidated building on the outskirts of the battlefield. The windows were grimy, offering no real view of the...

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT - JACK

The air was thick with tension as Superman landed with a dull thud, his boots cracking the fractured asphalt beneath him. Smoke billowed from nearby fires, casting flickering shadows across the scene. 

Jack Slash leaned casually against...

CHAPTER THREE - PREY IN THE DARK

The alleys of Gotham were damp with mist and shadows, the air heavy with a sense of suffocation Taylor knew all too well. Her insects spread out in waves, slipping through cracks in brick walls, skimming along the wet asphalt, their senses paintin...

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN - AMY

Amy stood on the edge of the pier, her eyes fixed on the endless stretch of gray water. The waves rolled in slow, relentless patterns, the ocean wind biting so harshly against her skin—tugging at her hair, flinging strands into her face, but she...

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX - ALAN AND TAYLOR

Alan Gramme moved silently through the broken streets of Brockton Bay, his limbs clicking softly, joints rotating in smooth, unnatural arcs. This city had become a playground for monsters, and he was one of them—perhaps the truest among them. He...

CHAPTER TWO - THE MEETING

The rooftop wind whipped at Taylor’s jacket, the hum of her swarm a low murmur in her mind. Batman stood across from her like a statue carved from shadow, unmoving, his cape hanging still despite the wind. She hadn’t realized anyone could be t...

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE - KAYDEN

Kayden Anders (née Russel) soared over Brockton Bay’s ruins, her light cutting through the sky. Her glow, pristine and blinding, contrasted sharply with the destruction below—streets torn asunder, buildings reduced to rubble, and the jagged c...

CHAPTER ONE - A NEW PLAYER

Taylor Hebert sat on the edge of the rooftop, her knees pulled up to her chest. The cold Gotham wind bit through her jacket, but she hardly felt it. Below, the city stretched out like a living organism: pulsing neon lights, distant sirens, the low...

WHAT WORM FANFICTION SHOULD I WRITE?

Kind of feeling burned out from the Superman crossover, so I want to take a break from it for a while. But I still feel like writing something, hence this poll.

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR - RILEY

The Dallon household was so… clean. That was the first thing Riley noticed as she stood on the neat brick path leading to their front door, her gloved hands folded politely in front of her apron. The garden was pristine, each flower bed...

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE - JUSTIN

The firelight cast flickering shadows across the battlefield, but Justin’s eyes stayed locked on the figure emerging from the debris. Burnscar’s smile was maddening—a mixture of cruelty and trembling rage. Her red dress was singed, her pale ...

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE - MIMI

Mimi drifted through the city streets like a shadow, barefoot and silent. Her red dress brushed against her pale legs, the hem singed in places from her own fires. The air smelled like ash and seawater, the acrid tang of Brockton Bay’s decay set...

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO - ETHAN

The warehouse reeked of smoke and scorched metal, the heat pressing against Ethan like a living thing, oppressive and suffocating, each breath burning as if he were inhaling straight from an oven. Flames danced wildly, licking at the twisted suppo...

THE END OF TAYLOR HEBERT

Go…it's…h-hot.

Feeling the hard texture of the ground against her face, Taylor realized that she had fallen face first on the ground. She couldn't move, even when she tried, and she already couldn't feel her limbs. What she did ...

CHAPTER TWENTY - BATTERY

The air shimmered with fractured light as Shatterbird floated above the wreckage, her glass-laden robes catching the pale sunlight and refracting it into dancing rainbows. Beneath her mask, she smirked, surveying the devastation with an artist’s...

CHAPTER NINETEEN - NED

The wind shifted, carrying a scent that shouldn’t have been here. Sweet and clean, too perfect for this world. It set Ned’s teeth on edge in the best way. Something pure. Something untouched. Something begging to be broken.

His body vibr...

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN - FAULTLINE

The old ferry terminal felt like the world’s most dangerous potluck. Neutral ground, they called it. Faultline had seen execution chambers with a friendlier atmosphere.

She adjusted the strap of her bulletproof vest, her sharp eyes scannin...

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN - HANNAH

The docks were eerily silent. The Wards and Hannah—Miss Militia—stood in a loose circle, catching their breath as their eyes darted toward the empty space where Francis had stood moments ago, Superman’s word the only thing preventing her fro...

INTERLUDE

Clark Kent wandered down the cracked streets of Brockton Bay, his hands tucked into the pockets of a worn, second-hand jacket he’d picked up at a local thrift store. The city felt like a place that had been gutted and left to fester. Buildings s...

GOKU VS LEVIATHAN ONE-SHOT

CHAPTER SIXTEEN - FRANCIS

Francis Krouse adjusted his top hat as he stepped onto the uneven asphalt of Brockton Bay’s Docks. He took a long drag from his cigarette, the red glow lighting up his face as he exhaled into the briny night air. He was out here of his own accor...

CHAPTER FIFTEEN - DENNIS

Dennis felt the familiar weight of his costume as he adjusted the clasps at his wrist, the subtle hum of the clock mechanisms on his chest reminding him of his role. The Wards’ HQ was unusually tense today, a sharp contrast to the usual undercur...

CHAPTER FOURTEEN - CHERIE

Brockton Bay was alive with suffering, salt, and rust. To Cherie Vasil, it wasn’t just a city—it was a symphony. She leaned against a crumbling brick wall in the warehouse district, reveling in the melodies that only she could hear. The discor...

CHAPTER THIRTEEN - DINAH

The world had been spinning for as long as Dinah Alcott could remember. It wasn’t the world around her, though—it was her mind, a carousel of thoughts she couldn’t escape, a tight knot she couldn’t untangle. The worst part? She had gotten ...

CHAPTER TWELVE - DEAN

Dean Stansfield had made peace with the moment he chose to die.

The wave had loomed above him, an unstoppable force of nature. Vista had been frozen in place, distracted and utterly defenseless. Without thinking, he’d shielded her with his...

INTERLUDE

Max Anders sat in his office, the soft glow of the desk lamp casting long shadows over the polished mahogany. The world outside was in chaos—Brockton Bay was still reeling from Leviathan’s attack, the Protectorate’s authority was stretched t...
