"Once, I saw Bruce snap a wooden bat clean in half." A smile crossed Dick's face, "The mook wet himself on the spot." He shook his head, stifling a quiet chuckle, "Sometimes when it rains, I still can smell him. Been around dead bodies less potent than that."
I am officially dropping Commencement.
I would like to request that my character's end be handled with some grace. It was a pleasure writing with everyone here. I wish I had the energy to continue.
It has been a wonderful journey that I very much enjoyed (for the most part). I was hoping to power through so I could pull together one last Webby's and see this through to the end with y'all, but Rory's arc is complete as far as I am concerned. I do hope to write with you all again in another setting and another time. I intend to read along to see how things wrap up. In the meantime, don't be a stranger. You know where to find me.
Admittedly, I was originally hesitant to accept you and Rory back again after the way things were left with the previous version of P.R.C.U.. Still, ultimately I took the chance and once again Rory has been a shining cast member. I can't imagine the RP without his presence or your contributions and thank you for hanging in as long as you have. I'm glad Rory was able to complete a character arc and his story and will do my best to honour the conclusion you've given him.
Thank you again, and looking forward to our paths crossing in the future.

Lorcán pursued after Rothschild and Bridget, a million questions on the tip of his tongue, but at the pace they were moving, he had neither the time nor the breath to ask them. The terrain in Ünterland was rough, and perilous. Thorns seemingly plagued most of the plants and were it not for the armour that Ellara had insisted he wear, his shins likely would have been cut to pieces.
“I smell the Jäger.” Rothschild, or rather Ciar, suddenly interjected, breaking Lorcán’s constant stream of thoughts. “Come, child, you’ve spent enough time among the dead. We should seek to reunite you with the others and your lover.”
“What about Bridget?” Lorcán managed to ask between breaths.
“I am a soul without a body,” Bridget glowed, “I can not leave this plane, but I will ensure you are able to return to our parents. Those who have been ravaged by Limbo cannot leave, only those who are whole can seek passage back to Midyeden.”
“Ravaged by Limbo?”
Ciar smiled sadly.
“I wish I could have warned you in advance, your mission here is in vain. Amma won’t be able to pass through the veil now that Limbo has taken the mortal part of her soul. She’s a part of Ünterland now. You best return before that-,” He motioned towards the run on Lorcán’s hand.
“-Before the sacred mark is rendered useless and damns you to this plane too.”
Lorcán looked between the pair, fear and panic creeping in through the back of his mind.
“Then we’ve risked everyone’s lives for nothing? There’s no way for Amma to return even if we find her?”
“Not at a price you’re willing to pay.” Ciar muttered apologetically.
“What about Bridget?” Lorcán asked.
“I would be neither me nor her, a merger of two einseelen is unheard of.” Bridget replied, “The results would be unpredictable, but I can be sure we would not longer be who either of us were. I wouldn’t be your sister, nor would she be her mother’s daughter. Were she Magni and not Hyperhuman, there’s no telling what she would have become through Limbo, but her einseelen keeps her human here. But I can’t save her.”
“This can’t be for nothing, Gil, he-” Lorcán took a seat, hanging his head in defeat. “Gil won’t be able to handle any more loss. And if anything’s happened to Aurora here, a mission for nothing,” Lorcán looked at the mark on his hand. “If anything happened to Aurora then I may as well destroy this mark now because I’m not leaving her here.”
“Your guiding light still lives.” Ciar replied. “I can smell her mortal soul on the wind, but she’s not safe.” He added, “She’s not with your Jäger.”
“No.” Bridget suddenly glowed. “She’s chosen her company poorly.”
Their words were enough to steel Lorcán’s resolve again, smelting his motivation as he leapt to his feet and looked at the essence of his sister.
“When we touched earlier, I felt my powers. How is that possible?”
“The truth behind your abilities, all of your abilities,” Bridget added, her glow expanding to indicate all Hyperhumans, “Is rooted in Ünterland and the arcane flow that originates from here. As a seele, I am pure Vis, the rawest form of the true source of your abilities. When you touched me, you connected to the Vis, restoring your abilities briefly.”
“Can you merge with me?” Lorcán asked, “Can you lend me that power?”
“For Aurora? For my sist-” Bridget paused as Ciar looked warily between the twins.
“But the Vǣrloga-” Ciar interjected before he was cut-off.
“Absolutely.”

Previously: No Survivors
In mythology, Daedalus had been responsible for the creation of the labyrinth, a maze located beneath Crete at the behest of King Minos. In much the same way, the now infamous Daedalus had constructed the Foundation beneath the Atlantic and its constantly rearranging pods. Students disappeared into his labyrinth often, only to reappear on the same blood-stained metal table where both Tiamat and the Chernobog had been birthed.
But Tiamat and the Chernobog were far from Daedalus’ only pets. Perhaps his greatest, true testaments to his madness, but soon he’d have the means for further greatness. The shadowed figures loomed from the tree branches, reptilian-like eyes blinking towards the distant cottage while their optical implants highlighted the target’s location.
A paralytic agent dripped from the mouth of the first, a long prehensile tongue wagging nearly the length of his bent over torso. Powerful legs coiled beneath him as he stood ready to pounce. Beside the frog-like Hyperhuman, hung another who, when they flexed, produced needle-like quills, each tipped in a poison sure to render the target unconscious.
Hanging silently above the other two, a mop of ebony hair hung at the mercy of gravity as its owner swung silently in the breeze hanging from a tensile silk strand. Eight eerie red eyes stared out through the dark of dusk. Fangs salivated hungrily at the thought of the hunt. She took pleasure at the thought of feeling the girl’s neck between her jaws. Tiny paralytic hairs eagerly stood on end as a swell of revenge surged in her chest. The girl barely remembered her name, but she remembered hers.
She lowered herself to a nearby branch, Arachne’s four arms taking a hold of it, before her four legs took a hold of the trunk and allowed her to effortlessly continue defying gravity while the three twisted figures listened, watched and waited for the sun to fully set.
“She knows.” Arachne’s eyes stared directly back towards where the girl had looked between the trees. Her tongue clicked excitedly, attempting to taste the pheromones of fear. A shiver of pleasure rolled down her spine, sending her eyes rolling into the back of her head before a moan escaped between fangs and lips.
“Then ve may asss vell move.” A fourth figure added, landing beside Arachne. Large leathery wings made up the majority of his body, while pointed ears cast a long shadow towards the ground. It spoke in a hushed whisper, the powerful sonics in its lungs capable of shattering an eardrum with even the slightest elevated tone.
“Camazotz.” The quilled Dahsáni smiled at their bat-like alley.
“Dahsáni, Kek, Arachne,” Camazotz hissed in a hushed tone. “I can hear them moving inssside.”
“Then we keep them there.” Arachne smirked, all eight of her eyes lighting up with cruel mirth, “And lover,” She cooed at Camazotz, “You can drink, but no draining.”
Camazotz flashed a fanged grin, his own mouth dripping with a paralytic saliva before a flap of his wings took him into the air where he suddenly burst into a cloud of bats, scattering across the horizon.
A terrible screech howled across the night sky like an air raid siren out of hell. Kek was the next to move, as the frogman leapt to the next tree, before Dahsáni scurried for the ground while Arachne shot forth a thread towards the cabin below.
Daedalus only instructed to bring them back alive.
He never said fully intact.

In 1917, Colonel Steven Trevor was shot down over the Pacific Ocean, considered killed in action before his miraculous return accompanied by a woman claiming to be the princess of the Amazons. This WONDER WOMAN was the first superpowered being recorded in modern history and would go on to help turn the tide of the war, joined by fellow metahuman and gifted individuals such as the Atlantean warrior; NAMOR THE SUBMARINER, the super-speedster and the gadgeteer Dan Garrett, better known as the BLUE BEETLE. Along with Steve Trevor, this 'all-star squadron' became known as the DEFENDERS and would go on to inspire the first iteration of the JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA following the war's conclusion.
The Justice Society flourished during the following decade. While Namor returned home following the war, Wonder Woman stayed and travelled the globe in search of other individuals like herself, gathering the likes of HAWKMAN, HAWKGIRL, GREEN LANTERN and THE HUMAN TORCH. While Johnny Quick found himself a rival in the form of THE WHIZZER. Later editions still would go on to include the SANDMAN, STARMAN and WILDCAT.
Unknowingly, however, the presence of the Justice Society had unintentionally jumpstarted a super-soldier arms race. Dr. Abraham Erskine; a German biochemist and physicist who had spent much of his early life studying the human species had devised a way to create a 'Super Soldier Serum' but ultimately his research was misused resulting in the creation of the RED SKULL. Fleeing to America, Dr. Erskine came into custody and protection of the Strategic Scientific Reserve, or the S.S.R. who put the good doctor for 'Project Rebirth' which ultimately brought the world the paragon known as CAPTAIN AMERICA.
Following the Second World War, faith in heroes had become jaded, with many seeing them as government weapons. This was further solidified when the Justice Society was forcibly disbanded when the S.S.R. approached the heroes with an ultimatum; become government-sanctioned and registered heroes or be forcibly retired. One by one, the heroes disappeared back into the shadows, though some resisted and were publicly unmasked and jailed for trumped-up crimes. By the 1960s, masked heroes were considered a thing of the past, but gifted individuals were still rising.
Dubbed, the 'Children of the Atom', mutants were rapidly becoming more common among youth leading to Charles Xavier and his confidant, Erik Lehnsherr to found the XAVIER INSTITUTE FOR GIFTED YOUNGSTERS. The creation of this school would go on to give birth to the X-MEN while Erik would later turn his back on Charles, taking the name MAGNETO and forming his own BROTHERHOOD OF MUTANTS as the mutant scare continued to rise.
With this threat at home, the former S.S.R. was transformed into the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division, or simply S.H.I.E.L.D. under the leadership of NICK FURY. Founded in the wake of the Allied victory over the Axis powers and HYDRA during the Second World War, S.H.I.E.L.D. is an American extra-governmental counter-terrorism and intelligence agency tasked with maintaining both national and global security. The division was organized to protect the United States from all possible threats including tracking not only the rising mutant threat but any form of metahuman that arose. Though even under the watchful eye of S.H.I.E.L.D. the world wasn't ready for the devastating meteor shower that nearly wiped out a portion of Kansas during the fall of 1989.
Hidden amongst this meteor shower was a small intergalactic spacecraft carrying the infant Kryptonian; Kal-El, who would be discovered by Jonathan and Martha Kent. The Kents raised the young boy as their own, but the world was forever changed the day the young Clark Kent revealed himself as SUPERMAN. Superman's appearance began a new age of heroes, while the red and blue blur reigned above the city of Metropolis, New York found itself a menace in the form of SPIDER-MAN while Gotham's corruption was preyed on by the BATMAN.
The modern history of heroes is unknown to most people. Still, those within S.H.I.E.L.D. and A.R.G.U.S. are well aware of just how long ago beings of extraordinary power decided to join the modern world.
