EPISODE 1
Must Come Down
Hot Rod eased through the quiet streets of Iocan City. His usual urge to redline his engine and watch his surroundings streak by in a blur was all but gone, buried under an avalanche of fresh grief. Recent battles with the Decepticons had been costly for both...

"Fianna, I'm gonna need all the help I can get," said Lady Jenye.
"Anything you need, Jeyne," Maynard's wife replied. "I know planning a wedding can be a great deal of work, but believe me when I say I'm grateful that Arren will be married here, at the Gate. With...

His wife was upset. Saraid had woke in a fever sweat this morning, so Maynard had sent for Maester Wallace and fetched some fruit for his daughter to nibble on. After inspecting Saraid the maester informed Maynard and Fianna they needn't be concerned; several people...
Black eyes have tracked your every step since your team entered the East Outward neighborhood known as The Shade, Ust Natha's only krinth community. The cold grey mud-brick buildings and iron-barred windows that flanked this area's streets perfectly reflected the stoic and grave temperament of...
“I pay homage to the ancient ones, and this braggadocio is ruination."
Zeerith merely glanced at the gaunt and hollow-eyed human, but his lieutenant cocked her head in confusion at Ravel.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Janvyre asked no one in particular.
"I believe," her one-armed master...
“And if their guilt is proven, what fate would you wish to befall the brothers? Do you wish us to make an example of them, or should their lives be spared?” Scheyana asked.
"Destroy them," Janvyre answered. The tiefling walked in front of Scheyana, which forced her to look up at the towering...
As darkness falls, the dark elves rise
to serve their Spider Queen.
The world below is the Underdark —
a blinding darkness to behold.
If you dare upon the drow elves' lair,
their dark hearts and swords will fly.
Like spiders in their webs they wait,
for you, alas, are simply bait.
Inside Job...
After scurrying up the motel's rear ladder Rusty Whelan hurried towards the roof-mounted billboard. He clapped his hands clean, tidied his russet beard and mustache, and then peeked at the towering placard overhead. With its display lights burned out the signboard was veiled by the night, but...
Street lights gleamed along the grey SUV as it rolled to a stop at a lonely intersection. The night was young, but this corner of Smog-town was deserted. Nearly all the day shift factory and plant workers had punched out and sought refuge elsewhere. Which is precisely what the men inside the...
☼ Summer Lands
Sunset Canyon
Soaring through the day's cloudless sky, propelled by enormous dark wings, were the canyon's executioners. Monstrous birds steered by the scent of blood, the sounds of illness, and the sights of frailty—the giant vultures of Sunset Canyon. A flock of seven hunted...
Mr. Freeze
His heavy eyelids strained to open but an assault of overhead lighting pinned them shut. From his horizontal position the nearest offending light source was little more than a foot away. He turned his head and tried to shield his face with his hands, but his arms refused to budge...
Mr. Freeze
The Sultan Hotel, an architectural icon inside the city's Diamond District. Towering at fifty-nine stories it was the second tallest hotel in Gotham. Its luxury rooms and suites were filled with extravagant—albeit slightly dated—Arabic decor. On its tenth floor was The Oasis, a...
Mr. Freeze
Her bike cycled down to a low purr when she stopped in front of the gate. Long shadows cast by the hazy evening sun stretched across the soggy driveway. Everything was still slick from the afternoon's rain. From behind a pair of mirrored goggles she peeked up at the surveillance...

He had hoped for better weather but had to settle for a dreary morning. The regular overnight fog, though it had thinned, still lingered; the cloud choked sky held it hostage. As a consolation everyone gathered had escaped the summer heat. Marquez Deodato, the...

"Why did they leave her body?" Vicente's index finger traced the rim of his untouched soup bowl while he considered his own question. He had every expectation of producing the answer, even though he was in the company of others, but he wasn't permitted enough time...
shield Mármorshield
She should have known better than to accompany him tonight. He had been absent in her presence for the last two days and none of his symptoms had lessened: the ceaseless fidgeting, the half-hearted smiles, the perfunctory conversation—he would be unbearable if she...

"Do you suspect foul play?" Vicente spooned honey into his morning tea as he considered his Monarch's question. It wasn't until he swallowed a careful sip of his breakfast before he finally shared his thoughts.
"It does feel very sudden." Marquez Deodato, lording...
She wasn't as alarmed as her teammates. Eerie was toweling off after a cold shower in the gym when Ray had came barreling in. The tongue inside the fox's mouth was a shade of purple she'd never seen; he must have nearly hyperventilated.
Her first instinct, after she got dressed, was to...
The grip tape was tacky in her furry hands. Eerie lifted the bat out in front of her and then gave it a few measured swings. It felt good to stretch her muscles. She spun the bat head near her face and tapped her claws against its aluminum barrel. The click of the metal was pleasant as...
