Bio
Hello! I'm Jones! and if you stumbled upon my page, I must have struck your interest!
I like to think that I'm a storyteller. I joined this site to create characters, and worlds I can put myself in. Every post I make will be to the best of my ability, and I hope anyone who stumbles upon my name can see that :D
Just a few things about me if you couldn't tell already by just glancing at my profile haha:
-I LOVE anything Captain America or Marvel related
-I have been RP'ing for over ten years now so I got some experience
- I do my best to try and have a wide range of RP genres

- I love meeting new RP'ers and seeing what we can create together!
- I'm a sucker for romance <3
Like i said previously, I’m a high school teacher, so there are specific times of the year where I get bombarded with things so I might not be on for a couple days, and if that's the case I'm trying to let anyone know so they aren't left wondering.
But like I said I love it when people contact me and ask if I want to RP with them, or have an idea and want my skills, and odds are I love the same thing, so If anyone wants to collab just shoot me a PM!

Those are pretty much my go to's, but I'm willing to hear out any idea and think about it!
Here's an example of my writing to give you a sense of my "skill" I guess... I keep trying to get better and better so bear with me!
Benjamin West woke up to a loud alarm, and the sun shining through the window and into his eyes. groaned a little as he hit the snooze button, and fell back down onto his pillow. It was an almost perfect plan, until he heard running down the hall and a small voice. "Daddy! Dad wake up!" Ben's daughter Jamie knocked on his door, and continued down the hall to wake her brother up too.
Ben got out of the bed, running a hand through his messy brown hair before drawing the curtains to view the beautiful Virginia forest. He walked across to the room to a nightstand with a picture of a beautiful woman holding a small boy, with the brightest smile in the world. "Buongiorno mio amore" He muttered, touching the picture lightly before walking into the bathroom, getting ready for the day.
Minutes later he came down the stairs dressed in a dark blue sweater, some worn jeans and sneakers. He didn't have a traditional job in the morning, but he did have the all-time job of being a dad. He made his way into the kitchen, a traditional style that Maria helped remodel. Jamie was sitting at the island, finishing some of her homework. Ben rubbed his hand on her head, and walked to the kitchen. "What will it be, Little One? Pancakes? Cereal, eggs?" He asked, turning on the stove.
"Just cereal..." Jamie replied, hard at work. "Just cereal, you got it... Hey, is Marco up? Marco!" Ben yelled, walking to the pantry to receive some cereal. "Daddy, you're still going to help today, right?" Jamie asked. "Yeah, yeah... wait, help with what?" He asked, handing his daughter a bowl and pouring milk in.
"The school fair is today, and you promised to help, remember?" He had been going through so much recently with the legal papers and Marco acting up in school, that he had forgotten all about the fair! "Yeah, I remember sweetheart... I'll be there. Marco! Hurry up, don't make me come up there!"
A couple seconds later Ben's oldest, Marco walked down, not saying a word, only grabbing a bagel from the kitchen counter. "You get your work done, Big Guy? I'm not going to get a note to sign tonight for bad behavior?" Ben asked, looking over at him as he helped Jamie put things in her backpack. Marco shook his head. "Can we go now? We're going to be late."
"Well maybe if someone came down on time we shouldn't be. Come on sweetheart. Everyone in the car! You all got your lunches, right?"
----
The car rides to school were not the most heartfelt and happiest. It was debating on what to listen to on the radio, mixed with passive aggressive remarks from Marco, to Ben giving a speech on how he needs to help out and grow up. When they parked in front of the school, Marco immediately left without saying a word. "Yeah, Love you too!" Ben yelled after him, getting out of the car to help Jamie out. "Alright Little one, when does your fair start?"
"Five o'clock. But volunteers need to be there an hour early to set things up."
"Four o'clock. Got it. And... what did you sign me up to do, exactly?"
"I don't know, the school figures that out, I just put you on the list!"
"Alright, mio amore, I'll be there. Have a good day, I love you." He gave her a kiss on the forehead before letting her go off to her class. He stood next to his car, watching her meet up with her friends. She didn't seem as embarrassed of him as Marco was, it was probably because she was letting him cope with this all. She was a smart girl, too smart if you asked him.
He looked next to him to see a couple of parents (especially mothers) staring over at him. He was famous in a sense, he made a lot of interviews and did a lot of crazy things on his old show that many people would see him as a perfect human being... But he didn't feel that at all. He gave an awkward smile and wave to the crowd, getting into the car before any of them could dive into small talk. He didn't hate talking to people, it was just... difficult. Especially right now.
He would probably do what he did every day. He would call some buddies he had that were still talking about a new season for his show (and politely turn them down), clean the house, and then apparently help at this school fair. It was a change of pace from what he used to do, but this was still just as challenging.
If you have any questions about my RP's, or future ones just shoot me a PM!
All of these people are amazing writers and friends and if you happen to RP with them consider yourself lucky! XD
and for a final note: THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A HOBBY, NOT A CHORE! I never want to put pressure on you, or myself and make any RP feel like you NEED to post, or have to force yourself to write. This is supposed to be fun, and I'll do anything to make sure it feels that way :)
Robert had a lot on his plate. He had Cassie to watch over, he had a criminal organization he was running, he had to lead the police off the Merry Men's trail, he had to stare the man in charge of the Robin Hood case in the eyes every single day and produce a fake smile, and now he had to worry about Marian... In more ways than one. Marian walked to his desk, her body pressing against his desk, and her hands playing with the texture of the desk. Robert's eyebrows were raised, Robert watched her try to find her words. He was fairy concerned. Was she alright? Did she get with something? Did she forget her coffee? But at the same, time, Robert was kinda enjoying this. It wasn't often Marian Anderson fumbled over her words, especially with Robert. Their conversations usually ended with Robert saying something and Marian replying with a much more polite way to say "Jump out the window."
So now, as she was leaning against his desk to show off every single perfection in her body, avoiding eye contact, and fumbling for words, Robert came to the conclusion that she was being nervous because she was starting to actually warm up to the new Robert. Before he could even reply she showed herself out, leaving Robert to lean back and smile... Until feeling the pain of his wound. So for the rest of the day he couldn't stop smiling. He was invited to another "not date", he pulled another fast one on Guy Gibson, and his reputation was slowly coming back to him.
Robert debated a lot of things though. Having this not date with Marian could be dangerous. But then again, it was even more dangerous for her to be helping Robin Hood as a part of the Merry Men... But like always, his love for that woman was way more intense than anything. He would never admit it to her, but he was truly in love with Marian. Her passion to help others, the way she stood her ground, her intelligence, her beautiful blonde hair, piercing blue eyes, a body carved by angels... But the thing that he probably liked about her most of all was that she was herself. She had nothing to hide, she wasn't a vigilante, the son of a corrupt lawyer that always had to put on another face to hide his facade. She was pure, and there will never be a time where the beast doesn't fall for the beauty.
He would probably never have the chance to say any of this to her. What with him potentially going to prison for life if he was caught, or just the fact that he had a long list of lies and if she found out it wouldn't be great... But Robert was going to take a chance.
Robert left his office to go home, and saw that Marian was still in her's. He made a gentle tap on the door and opened it slowly. "Hey, I was just seeing if you were serious about 'not' going on a date with me. And if that's the case, I have two tickets to the baseball game on Saturday. It'd be a perfect opportunity to not go on a date with you. I definitely wouldn't be picking you up at around 5 that night so we could watch the game and get some late night dinner afterwards. If that does or doesn't interest you, just let me know tomorrow. Have a nice night." And he gently closed the door, and walked towards the exit of the building. He had a much better time talking to Marian, but he's had years of practice to talk to someone he's had feelings for.
He knew Barbara and Tim were listening to the conversation. A small hidden part of him was very sad to hear the truth. Not that he didn't already have strong suspicions, but this was stone cold fact now... And he fell over as soon as Dent took his daughter. He didn't pay much attention to the conversation. His arms were fully functional, but from the waist down his body was trying to recuperate from the massive amounts of voltage. He reached inside his utility belt, looking up to see the two sides of Harvey Dent. One still looked like the charming, handsome lawyer that he once was. His blue eye sparkled, and his strong jaw line was clean shaven... The other half was melted, raw red, his red eye just glaring. He flipped his coin, and while giving his speech Nightwing managed to take out the small item. A serum created by Bruce that added much more than adrenaline to his system. For a short time he will be a perfect health, but only for an hour. He would be back to his painful self.
It wouldn't be instant though, and Two-Face already flipped his signature coin... He could hide for a minute, and hope the serum would kick in... but just then, Abbie grabbed his coin and... Defended him? I mean, sure he saved her life twice, but she also obviously didn't like the guy. He kept slowly crawling towards a shelf, using it to prop himself up. He looked over at the unconscious Electrocutioner, then over at Two-Face. Was he really going to let them go? After all of this? No. He was famous for one thing. His obsessions with two. He had another plan.
"Lets go home, Sweetheart." Harey Dent said, but as he put an arm around her, the melted hand made a silent flick towards his men, and they drew their weapons. His legs felt better, the pain started to cease, and at this moment, he had to act fast. Nightwing wasn't the main target. It was obviously the man that kidnapped his daughter. He pulled out another item from his belt, a smoke pellet. Distracted by his daughter, Nightwing threw the pellet to the ground, and with a large flash, and a huge bang, smoke started to fill the area.
"AAGH DAMN THAT BIRD! KILL HIM!" Two-Face screamed flipping his coin over and over again. Obviously the Two-Face side took control, pushing Abbie slightly, drawing his silver magnum and flipping his coin as his men frantically shot the area the unconscious body was, and where Nightwing stood. The serum kicked in just in time. Grabbing the Electrocutioner, Nightwing booked it. He could see rather clearly thanks to the small lenses covering his mask, highlighting body temperatures. He kicked a gun out of one man's hand, hit another man between the legs, desperately trying to get out of the area before the smoke cleared. He managed to jump on boxes, climbing up shelves as he tried to keep the knocked out man around his shoulders. He was close to reaching the large rooftop window until a gunshot went off.
Nightwing's armor was still tough, the bullet hit the his chest square on, forcing Dick to stumble back, and to the ground. "YOU CAN'T GET AWAY FROM ME, FREAK!" Two-Face screamed from across the warehouse. "Come on out... Why protect this filth of a man? He kidnapped my daughter. He doesn't deserve a trial, he doesn't deserve anything but the punishment of death." Two-Face snarled. This brought back some very bad memories for Dick Grayson. Luckily the bullet didn't break the armor, but it would leave a very nasty bruise, and potential broken ribs, but the serum prevented him from feeling it.
"You a gambling man, Nightwing? Would you gamble on an innocent man's life? Like all those years ago when you were the Bat's side kick?" The man said, his human side smiling, his horrible side stuck in a permanent scowl. "I had to take in to account you might show up tonight... So I brought our dear friend Commissioner Gordon here. Who's life is more important? The criminals? Or the Saint of Gotham?" There were grunts of aggressiveness and a lot of "Don't touch me you son of a--"
The voice of the Police Commissioner. "Don't do it, Kid! I'll be alright!" Gordon called out, a grunt of pain coming from him as someone hit him upside the head with a gun. "Dick... Is he serious?" Barbara's voice said in his ear. Nightwing gave a silent sigh, trying desperately to think of his options. He was stuck again in Two-Face's trap.
Luckily his suit protected him from dying... But that didn't stop it from hurting. A lot! The pain felt like a lifetime, and he could only image that this is how it felt for Abbie to be shocked. His eyes were closed as he fought back the urge to scream again, but he heard the sickening crunch of a skull, and the pain was lifted. As the Electrocutioner fell to the ground, Nightwing still on his shoulders, he obviously followed suit. He dropped his weapons, light still illuminating from them. He was in a painful daze, his vision going in and out, and the next thing he knew he was staring up at the blond haired girl, yelling things at him. He blinked a few times and groaned, trying to sit up. "I'm not dying today. Not on the first week of the job." Nightwing said, but as he tried to get on to his legs, they felt weak and unresponsive. Damn that guy! He grabbed his escrima sticks, and took in a few deep breaths
After a few seconds he finally had the strength to wobble in a slightly crouched position on his legs, using Abbie as support. The room was still dark, and before he could say anything else about their situation, he heard shouting from outside the warehouse. He gave a quiet swear, and then put his hand to his ear. "Oracle."
Barbary Gordon used to be Batgirl, but ever since her encounter with the Joker a few years back, she was paralyzed, and now the tech genius for Batman, Robin, and now Nightwing. Her name was now Oracle. "Are you out? Did you find her?" Oracle immediately asked. "Not exactly... I think we're a bit too late."
And as if on cue the warehouse doors were burst open, men rushing in, flashlights out to see Abigail Dent and Nightwing holding on to each other for support. Both were in rough shape. "Find the lights!" One man screamed, and then a rough voice chilled the air. One all too familiar. "Well well well... I come here to kill Buchinsky, to find that another high valued target took him out for me." The lights slowly started to flicker on, the light above them still out, but the others working just fine. It revealed the one person Dick Grayson never wanted to see in this type of situation. Two-Face. Formerly known as Harvey Dent.
So it was true. There had to be a connection with them now. Nightwing was too weak to fight, and he didnt want to hold an escrima stick up to Abbie's face and hold her hostage. He had to think of something... Come on, Gayson, Think!
Nightwing was impressed. He rolled his eyes in annoyance at Abbie's death glare before she flew off to get some revenge. You'd think she'd be more grateful after he saved her and all. But the way she fought was full of fury and mostly anger. The spin kick and uppercut to the face made the masked hero smirk. "Lock the wrist more when going in for an uppercut." Nightwing said to mainly help her out, but there was a hint of teasing her in that sentence. He knew that she really didn't want him to talk to her, but he couldn't help it. The Electrocutioner laughed, touching his jaw to make sure it wasn't too injured, then clapped his hands together. Blue sparks flew out of his gloves, a horrible hissing noise escaping from them as well. "This is enough electricity to burn you to a crisp in a matter of seconds."
"Oooh, Neat!" Nightwing said mockingly, his escrima sticks out, and slamming them together yet again until blue sparks of his own hissed out of the tips. Of course he didn't have enough power to kill a guy, but with enough hits he could get possibly stun him long enough to take him down--Or Abbie to. Abbie had her turn, it was Nightwing's now!
One thing people will notice about Nightwing that was different from Batman: Nightwing was extremely agile. The two rushed towards each other, and hit weapons together with so much force, that a bolt of lightning bursting out and hitting the lightbulb above, taking out the power in the warehouse. The Electrocutioner and Nightwing's faces were illuminated by the pale blue glow of their weapons, and they fought yet again. Every time they made contact with each other light flashed to reveal them, it was like watching a weird and complicated rave dance with a strobe light, Nightwing ducking and twirling at the same time, smacking away fists, trying to get in jabs of his own, blocking when his back was facing the enemy, he cartwheel flipped sideways, tried to kick his legs from under him, but it wasn't doing much. This was all happening fast, but for Dick everything was slowed down.
Every move he had wasn't doing much, but Nightwing saw the opening. Their weapons were now pressed against each other again, their faces inches from the blue bolts flying out, Nightwing had a cocky smirk on his face, The Electrocutioner looked very very mad. "Just... Die!" Nightwing pushed the gloves downward, taking the moment to literally jump on his shoulders, his legs tied around his throat, and he brought the two escrima sticks down on his sides, screams of pain coming from the man. Nightwing looked over at Abbie. "Now!" He yelled to her, indicating to give him one good kick (or punch) to his face, but as he was busy looking at Abbie, The electrocutioner brought his hands up and grabbed Nightwing's legs.
Although his suit was padded with parts of rubber and microfibers that protected him... The pain coming from his gloves were intense. they were at maximum level, and Nightwing let out a large scream, praying that Abbie would stop him soon. Kinda ironic huh?
Peter's head tilted towards Lexi as she obviously knew who this guy was. Of course he's heard the stories of the "Devil of Hell's Kitchen" but he never really saw the guy, and whenever he showed up in Hell's Kitchen, there was nothing to be found. He looked back at the man who was now frowning slightly, and Spider-Man stood up. "I heard the stories but thought he was like the boogey man. I've been swinging around this city for a while now, so has Black Cat. Why show your face to us now?" He asked the man in red.
"Because I haven't had any need for your help until now." Dare Devil said, and Spider-Man put his hands to his chest. "That kinda stung. I'm used to being rejected, but never by a fellow crime fighter." Spidey said jokingly, but it being a bit true. Not anymore, of course! He was happily in a relationship! Dare Devil simply smiled. "Its nothing personal. I've heard of your guys' accomplishments. You've saved this city in more ways then one countless times. But I kept to this part of New York for many reasons. One of the main reasons is because I've been keeping a certain man at bay in this area."
"Something tells me that this is when you go..."
"But--"
"Yep, called it." Peter added quickly.
"But he has gotten out of hand. Have you two ever heard of the name 'Kingpin' during your patrols?" He asked. Peter tried to think back, but he couldn't recall ever really hearing that name. Peter shook his head slightly. "I'm not surprised. He has kept himself under the rug for a very long time, but every criminal organization, ever master robbery, every organized crime is run by him. Hence the name. He's one of the richest, most powerful, most evil men I've heard of. I spend my time trying to track him down. He is planning something very big. Something that will make him controller of this City in more ways than just crime."
As Peter listened, the more he was a bit frustrated; mostly at himself. He was supposed to be the protector of this city, and yet there was news about this mystery man he's never heard of and while Peter thought he was making a difference, in all honestly he wasn't. "Who is he? Where is he?" Peter asked. Dare Devil shook his head. "I don't know. Like I said, very few people even know the Title of Kingpin. But I do know his next big attack. I'm sure you're familiar with the Daily Bugle. They love to lash out at our kind of people." He gave another smirk. "He plans on assassinating the Chief, Jonah Jamenson, tomorrow night."
At this time Peter's heart skipped a beat. He wasn't a fan of the guy, but he did JUST give Peter a job! And if there was a reason why this Kingpin guy was going after him, he had to assume that it wouldn't be good in the long run. "I'm going to need some help in stopping that from happening. You two know the city more than I do, you've seen much more of this place. I know you just met me, and I just made a very big claim, but I am not setting you up. This is about the city. We need to stop Kingpin before he gets to a point where he's untouchable."
The man made a convincing point. He just met the guy, he didn't know if he was an enemy (a dude dressed up as the devil isn't really a friendly sight), and he really was making a large claim. "We'll see what we can do..." Peter hesitated for a minute. "We can also go in and survey the area. I know a guy-- This photographer. He works for the Bugle. He can tell me the layout of the building, and exits. Once he tells me, I'll tell you." Spider-Man said with a nod.
Dare Devil, also known as Matt Murdock, gave a small smirk and nodded. "Sounds interesting... But I have to tell you, Kingpin is not like any foe you've faced. He's dangerous, smart, precise. Piss him off, and he WILL come after you... If you want to back away I can find others--"
"Oh like who? Iron Man? This is our city, you told us your speech, and I'm all for solving this mystery with this new gang of heroes! All we need now is a talking dog." Spider-Man said. He knew he didn't really speak for Lexi, but he was sure she had the same mindset, and it was a lost cause trying to convince her to not help. She was just as stubborn as Peter.
Dare Devil gave a hesitant nod and sighed. "I had a feeling that would be your answer..." He pulled out a usb device from his belt, tossing it towards Lexi. "That's everything I know of this guy. More proof for you guys. We'll meet up here an hour before Jamenson leaves the Bugle."
Tomorrow Peter would take Lexi to visit the Daily Bugle after school, and as they drop more pictures off and Peter shows his girlfriend around, they would be trying to find anything out of the ordinary. It will be an interesting day.
Due to many circumstances, Dick tried to stay away from Abbie. The more important things like her being related to Two-Face, and the danger of him being Nightwing were good enough reasons, but then there was the political and social impacts too. He didn't know how the media would take that the newest Gotham bachelor is spending time with Abbie Dent. He really didn't care what he thought, it was more of Abbie's point of view. There was also the possibility that if Harvey Dent found out about Abbie's new potential relationship, he would get curious, and try something. So Dick continued cleaning the mansion, he continued to fight crime, and Dick Grayson made himself more publicly known.
He usually made that an excuse to not be in much contact with Abbie, but he couldn't help but reply with a few texts throughout the day. He kept thinking about what she yelled at him that day. There was a saying in the justice department. "Everyone is innocent until proven guilty." Bruce taught him to never second guess himself during these situations. If you had a hunch, you had to stick with it until it proved that it wasn't true. And if it was any one of them, they were usually right about their hunches. But to answer her question, no. He didn't honestly know. But he was almost certain that her father was a monster. If she only knew that Harvey Dent tortured Dick, that he hid his true feelings behind his smart ass attitude. Maybe she would be more understanding. But she'll never know.
As the days went on the city of Gotham got used to the fact that Batman was gone, but the talk started to spread about Nightwing, and the rumors of where he came from. A "Batman knockoff" was the most used term for him, but that was until Bludhaven informed Gotham of their hero, and soon people would remember him from his early years in Gotham, and some even speculated that he was an older Robin... But those were all rumors. Nightwing would never talk to the media. Or at least not yet. The biggest news that wasn't Batman related was the abduction of Abigail Dent. As you could expect, Dick, Tim, and Barbara were all suspicious, and Dick more concerned than the other two (but never showed it). When she didn't reply to his texts he understood... But when she didn't answer calls, he was concerned, so concerned that he left quite a few (embarrassing) voicemails like:
"Hey, Abbie... I er, wanted to say that we finished moving the house around, and sometime when you're not busy.. I mean, if you have the time I want a pool rematch." This is when he sighed miserably and hung up.
He did these once or twice until Barbara told him that the police found a purple sports car with burn marks on the roof. Driver nowhere to be found. It didn't take them long to conclude that the Electrocutioner was involved.
What they weren't expecting was the amount of work that it was taking to find where she was. It seemed that whenever Nightwing tried to find out her whereabouts, Two-Face's thugs always beat him to it. It only strengthened their suspicions, but it also frustrated Dick. He was supposed to be Bruce's successor! And he was losing to a man that Dick hated the most out of everyone... And if Abbie thought that he was the hero...
They spent a lot of time tracking down the location of the electrocutioner, and they finally got him. Dick managed to sneak in very easily just in time to hear the electrocutioner's speech. He wasn't the most dangerous of the Gotham villains, but he wasn't to be underestimated. The fact that the Electrocutioner knew who her father was just even more confirmation, and he really wasn't happy with all these new clues. The moment he laid his hands on her biceps was when Nightwing went in to action. He took out one of his objects, aimed, at a wall, and flicked it as hard as he could. The room was filled with ricochet sounds as the "batarang" like object used its angles to eventually hit the electrocutioner square in the side of the head, toppling over.
Nightwing showed himself this time. "Hey sparky. Long time no see." Nightwing said, escrima sticks out and already in "shock" mode. "And if it wasn't clear, I'm the one that's only here to kick your ass and throw you in to jail. Looks like I beat Half-and-Half here." The electrocutioner looked up and glared at Nightwing. "Ah, so its true! The birdie is back! You don't have the Bat Freak to help you in your fights this time." He grinned. Nightwing returned the grin. "That's fine, he isn't here to hold me back, either. I got the whole stage to myself." And with that, Nightwing did a twirl towards the villain, arm extended as he tried to smack him, but with no luck. He smacked his hand away and used his other hand to try and land a electrified fist at Nightwing's head, but he ducked and gave an uppercut to the electric gloved man.
Angry, the Electrocutioner slammed his fists down on the ground, he noticed the metal plating as soon as he came in, so his shocked hands will travel through the whole area. Nightwing leapt back, doing a backflip, landing on his hands and then pouncing back again behind Abbie's chair. He knew that she could fight, and had a feeling she was itching for a fight with the man who kidnapped her. In a swift motion he cut the ropes holding her in the chair, and quickly grabbing her. He then pulled out his grappling hook, not having much time before the electric current reached them. He fired up at the roof and the two took off, suspended in the dark air as they waited for the maniac to stand up again. Once he did, Nightwing repelled down, letting go of Abbie, looking over at her as if saying "Attack him, not me." and then took off towards the Electrocutioner.
He had to finish this fight before Two-Face showed up. It was only a matter of time, and he really didn't want to be here when he was in an angry mood. And even though he had a hunch that Dent wouldn't hurt Abbie, she was coming with Nightwing, not the even crazier maniac.
Raymond was pumped! He'll get to see Alban and Zeb in action, he'll see how Calliope uses her sword, and he can impress the S-Class wizards by showing them his strength! He was so excited, that he almost didn't catch that last part about meeting up at the train station. "Wait wait wait... We don't reaaaallly need to take the train." Raymond said with a weak laugh and smile, rubbing his head. "I'm sure we can get there in no time if we just walk to the other towns!" Ray said, hoping that they would listen, but it seemed that everyone was off to gather their things for the jobs... Raymond sighed, making a frown as he saw that Nathan made an appearance.
Nathan and Raymond's relationship was an odd one. They had a few things in common with each other. They were both powerful, brave, not afraid to speak their mind... But Nathan was more focused on women, and impressing people. Although Raymond did like to show off his strength as well, it was usually to prove something more to himself... He always thought that Adamas left him because Ray wasn't good enough. So that's what truly drives his motives. He has so many friends and family now that will help him achieve his goal. If he can show that he's the strongest he could possibly be, he could find Adamas. And show him all he's accomplished... He wanted to make him proud.
Nathan walked towards a table, and sat down, with an expression on his face that the Diamond Dragon Slayer saw from time to time. Normally Ray would walk up to Nathan to start a fight, but they had their moments. They were both dragon slayers after all. They had to look out for each other! He walked up to Nathan's table, giving a grin. "Hey." Ray said, looking over at the women glancing over at the two of them (mostly Nate), then back to the Lighting Dragon Slayer. "A group of us are gonna head over to Willow, the town up North. You can tag along with us and find a job up there! I'm sure a Dragon Slayer will be needed! We're gonna head out in an hour." Ray said with a nod before walking out of the guild himself to get to his small home to gather some gear.
---
Raymond had a home on the outskirts of Caister. It was a beach house with worn down wood, net windows, and a matching worn door. He built the place when he was a kid. It was something Adamas taught him. They would travel around in their little forest a lot, and the Diamond Dragon would always make Ray make his new home from scratch. On one side of the house was the view of the beach, and the town, the other side had the rolling hills, and the large mountain range far off in the distance.
Ray and Roger made it in to the house, and the cozy interior matched the outside. The living room was filled with a dining table and chairs, an iron coal stove, and a pantry that would sometimes be filled with food. There were items all over the walls and on tables and shelves from his adventures in the Silver Trident. And a small room led to the bedroom which consisted of the largest window overlooking the mountains. The bed was composed of soft blankets, cushions, and pillows that Ray and Roger just jumped on and passed out after long missions.
Roger leapt off Ray's shoulder and waddled over to the pantry, shoving food in his small backpack, and running around to collect other items. Ray went in to the bedroom to grab the pouch of priceless, perfect diamonds. He was given this by Adamas the day he left. He never used it as currency, but whenever he needed a boost in his power, he would be able to eat some. He also grabbed a napsack, an extra pair of clothes, and he wrapped his purple sash around his arm tightly, smiling at it a bit. It was his good luck charm.
"Alright! Time to impress some wizards!" Ray said to Roger. "Yeah, that's if you can keep yourself from puking all over them on the train." Roger said with a nod, wings forming from his back and flying upwards and towards the door.
"I still think it'd be fine if we just walked..." Raymond muttered, the two wizards from the Silver Trident making their way to the train station to start their adventure.
There was no mistake. Barbara hasn't been wrong before. Her father had to be Dent! There was too many coincidences, too many facts, and the more he thought about it, the more Abbie defended the man he could only think of as Two-Face, images came through as if flashing before him. As much as he wanted to, he could never forget that night. It was years ago, back when Dick was a boy. He wasn't known as Nightwing back then, he had another title. Robin, The Boy Wonder.
The courtroom was dark. Rain hit the windows hard that night, more than usual in Gotham. It was long abandoned ever since Harvey Dent lost his case here, and had to have extensive surgery. But tonight it was lively. The room was no longer filled with chairs and desks, but now a large stage area in the back of the room, with two hanging posts. Two men had a noose around their necks, but were held up by a small metal pole at their feet. One was the newest District Attorney in Gotham. His sobbing was muffled by the duct tape around his mouth, his face full of fear. Next to him was the Dark Knight himself, Batman. The two of them stared at the man pacing back and forth. The man was tall, lean, and if half of his body wasn't horribly burned, he would have been handsome.
One half of his face had tan skin, dark blonde hair, blue eyes, and a smirk... The other side of him had little skin, and what was left of it was burned horribly. His eye socket was exposed, his lips and cheeks were no more, and it gave a horrible impression of a frown. "Well Batman? Where is he? Your little side kick." The man named Two-Face said, flipping a coin casually, a silver magnum in his other hand. "He'll be here." Was what Batman replied. Dent didn't put duct tape on his mouth only so they could have a conversation. It wasn't Batman's plan to get caught by Harvey, but his options were not limited. "You wanna see bet?" Harvey Dent replied, holding up his infamous coin.
As the two were talking, Robin very quietly balanced himself on an exposed rafter, observing the scene. When Bruce was taken, Dick was able to easily follow the three in to the courthouse. At this time Dick was not as experienced. He spent two years as Batman's sidekick, and he felt invincible for most of it. The two of them were an unstoppable crime fighting force, and it went to Robin's head. So he was overconfident. And thought he had the perfect solution. Robin took out a batarang from his utility belt. He knew Bruce could escape from this trap given time, this wouldn't be his first time he was getting hanged. So Robin took aim at the District Attorney.
Robin threw the batarang, it easily flying through the air with a soft whistle as it soared and then made contact with the rope suspending the DA. The man fell to the ground, letting out a shocked cry. Both Batman and Two-Face looked in the direction the batarang came from, and before Robin could jump down, he looked at the horrible grin on Harvey Dent's face. Robin forgot a very important thing about Harvey: He was OBSESSED with the number 2. As the man started to get up, there was a large tick, and then the floor underneath the man gave in, and the DA fell in to what sounded like water. His hands were tied, his mouth covered, and God knows how deep the horrible trap was, or what was in the tank.
Robin watched in horror as he knew he screwed up, a gunshot went off, and Dick Grayson fell from the rafter, and hard on the ground. Dick's arm hurt, he was dazed, and now a hand was pulling him up from his hair. "A harsh mistake, Birdie." Two-Face said with a growl, looking over at Batman. "Looks like he does take after you. Both messing up tonight..." He looked back at Robin, then at Batman again, an evil grin on his face. "Heads I let you go... Tails... You'll both suffer." He said quietly as he flicked his thumb up, the silver coin glistened in the air before landing back in Dent's hand. He looked at it, and gave a sinister smile yet again.
He pulled out a switchblade with his free hand, still holding the dazed Robin. Batman eventually broke free of his bonds after watching hopelessly as Harvey Dent tortured Robin. He cut him, punched him, tossed him down and kicked him. He kept screaming that this was fair, that fate had a twisted way of getting revenge. Harvey Dent was arrested that night with little injuries... But Dick was not. He felt weak, useless, scared. This was his first major mistake, and it cost him so much more than a gunshot wound and scars.
His mind snapped back, the scene only seconds in his mind. He looked up at her yet again, not knowing that the image brought a deadly glare to his face. He wasn't mad at her. Maybe she truly didn't know... If she knew who her dad truly was she might be willing to help. It has been years since that night happened, and Dick would never admit it, but that still hurt him. He would wake up in the middle of the night with the thought of that night. If she knew how much pain Harvey Dent did to Dick Grayson...
"You work as a reporter at the Gazette." Dick finally said to her as she finished. "Why don't you do some research of your own? Harvey Dent. There's your first lead." And with that, Nightwing pressed a button on his belt, Abbie's car roaring to life, and he walked towards his own vehicle, and without another word, he drove off quickly.

Here's an example of my writing to give you a sense of my "skill" I guess... I keep trying to get better and better so bear with me!
[hider=Sample of "An Adventurer's Life"]
Benjamin West woke up to a loud alarm, and the sun shining through the window and into his eyes. groaned a little as he hit the snooze button, and fell back down onto his pillow. It was an almost perfect plan, until he heard running down the hall and a small voice. "Daddy! Dad wake up!" Ben's daughter Jamie knocked on his door, and continued down the hall to wake her brother up too.
Ben got out of the bed, running a hand through his messy brown hair before drawing the curtains to view the beautiful Virginia forest. He walked across to the room to a nightstand with a picture of a beautiful woman holding a small boy, with the brightest smile in the world. "Buongiorno mio amore" He muttered, touching the picture lightly before walking into the bathroom, getting ready for the day.
Minutes later he came down the stairs dressed in a dark blue sweater, some worn jeans and sneakers. He didn't have a traditional job in the morning, but he did have the all-time job of being a dad. He made his way into the kitchen, a traditional style that Maria helped remodel. Jamie was sitting at the island, finishing some of her homework. Ben rubbed his hand on her head, and walked to the kitchen. "What will it be, Little One? Pancakes? Cereal, eggs?" He asked, turning on the stove.
"Just cereal..." Jamie replied, hard at work. "Just cereal, you got it... Hey, is Marco up? Marco!" Ben yelled, walking to the pantry to receive some cereal. "Daddy, you're still going to help today, right?" Jamie asked. "Yeah, yeah... wait, help with what?" He asked, handing his daughter a bowl and pouring milk in.
"The school fair is today, and you promised to help, remember?" He had been going through so much recently with the legal papers and Marco acting up in school, that he had forgotten all about the fair! "Yeah, I remember sweetheart... I'll be there. Marco! Hurry up, don't make me come up there!"
A couple seconds later Ben's oldest, Marco walked down, not saying a word, only grabbing a bagel from the kitchen counter. "You get your work done, Big Guy? I'm not going to get a note to sign tonight for bad behavior?" Ben asked, looking over at him as he helped Jamie put things in her backpack. Marco shook his head. "Can we go now? We're going to be late."
"Well maybe if someone came down on time we shouldn't be. Come on sweetheart. Everyone in the car! You all got your lunches, right?"
----
The car rides to school were not the most heartfelt and happiest. It was debating on what to listen to on the radio, mixed with passive aggressive remarks from Marco, to Ben giving a speech on how he needs to help out and grow up. When they parked in front of the school, Marco immediately left without saying a word. "Yeah, Love you too!" Ben yelled after him, getting out of the car to help Jamie out. "Alright Little one, when does your fair start?"
"Five o'clock. But volunteers need to be there an hour early to set things up."
"Four o'clock. Got it. And... what did you sign me up to do, exactly?"
"I don't know, the school figures that out, I just put you on the list!"
"Alright, mio amore, I'll be there. Have a good day, I love you." He gave her a kiss on the forehead before letting her go off to her class. He stood next to his car, watching her meet up with her friends. She didn't seem as embarrassed of him as Marco was, it was probably because she was letting him cope with this all. She was a smart girl, too smart if you asked him.
He looked next to him to see a couple of parents (especially mothers) staring over at him. He was famous in a sense, he made a lot of interviews and did a lot of crazy things on his old show that many people would see him as a perfect human being... But he didn't feel that at all. He gave an awkward smile and wave to the crowd, getting into the car before any of them could dive into small talk. He didn't hate talking to people, it was just... difficult. Especially right now.
He would probably do what he did every day. He would call some buddies he had that were still talking about a new season for his show (and politely turn them down), clean the house, and then apparently help at this school fair. It was a change of pace from what he used to do, but this was still just as challenging.[/hider]
