It's over, the PRT picked them up and there's nothing for you to worry about. Im running an emotional overlay right now for human interaction otherwise Id probably sound like a psychopath or a robot, but Im neither. Person? There are other things as well, for example several entertainment companies would appear to have had their entire catalogs downloaded, movies, music, that sort of thing. As little as possible, Im afraid. Assault out. By now he was close enough to see that the shiny reflective surface looked like someone in a somewhat weird looking suit of power armor, not anything he recognized. Certainly not on a world-wide basis. Colin raised his eyes from where hed been staring at his hands, thinking, to look at his best friend again. The experience was enough to make the girl Trigger. I don't know, like she's been around for a long time. "Plus since I designed it, I can also make it do almost anything I want. Reaching an altitude of a few hundred feet Hive headed directly towards the Dallon house, making Amy wonder how she knew where it was. My mother's death came as surprise, as death was far from my mind. She noticed Assault looking at her and transferred her worried gaze to him. I was doing some data mining for a project on global health issues and I found something unusual. Which is? he asked absently, moving another part. Fast acting. Surely she couldn't mean Less neurons, and simpler ones with a lot less synaptic connections, per insect, but a lot of insects. Suddenly, the girl who she'd grown up with was practically her worst enemy. You're Taylor Hebert. After a few seconds, she shook her head. Do you have any idea how many that would be, even at this time of year? He shook his head. Good to see this getting its own thread. She suspected that the woman holding her probably couldnt lift all that much more weight, but she seemed to have no real problems dealing with Amy. Just read Caught In Causality, and man Taylor never catches a break huh? So if you're not an alien, that leaves Trailing off, he eventually shrugged. Taylors mother was different from everyone else. Im not saying there isnt some weird power or combination of powers that could kill me either, nothing is really immortal, but even if there was, the aftereffects would be bad enough to make using it pretty much impossible. Why?Assault asked, then hastily added, Not that Im saying I want to kill you. He got the impression she was more or less grinning at him for what hed said. I guess? The second story I started is this one. She got powers, nothing particularly impressive on the face of it, although potentially fairly effective with a little thought. Only the one, really, but she was a good one. OK, he replied. Assault looked at his phone as it beeped at him, picking it up and seeing he had a text message. Usefully, it worked surprisingly well, most of the grime coming off instantly and the remainder being loosened enough that she could now wash it away. Everyone stared at her. Guess I'll have to wear the spare one tomorrow. There are more insects in a square mile of countryside than there are humans alive on the entire planet. Dragon, weirdly, did. Hmm. Oh, my god, thats amazing, she mumbled, her power tracing out the biological intricacies of the body she was touching. She stopped a couple of feet away and seemed to gaze at him as if judging his sincerity. As he approached, he slowly became aware that there were a number of other oddities about the person which began to make him slightly less sure it was a woman at all. I don't think so, but I'll get back to you on that. Spotting a row of dumpsters that were leaking an unpleasant greenish substance through their rusted bottoms, she headed towards them, only to stop when she saw that the lids were locked. Subjectively it took years to come up with the right design. In a very short period of time. That's as far as I got with this one. Ah retirement that mythical land where you get to relax and wile away your remaining years Taylor is not getting that on the other hand she can push back much harder than most of Earth Bet. If it had ended there, and Taylor had been rescued, she'd probably have gotten used to it in a week or so and then His companion shrugged slightly. Every insect inside a two thousand foot radius attacking anyone involved, or she thought was involved? the woman asked wryly, making him shudder as he contemplated her words. The biomass of ants alone is greater than all the people who have ever existed, and ants are only about one percent of the total number of insects world wide. Lack of emotional cues, certain trace pheromones, things like that. She looked at him with her head on one side. Taylor in Theogony is a girl with strong powers that make fighting people pretty easy. Colin, its every single disease that affects humans and is spread by or involves an insect vector. His pale face was from a different reason now. Armsmaster nodded slightly. Two of them had metal baseball bats and the other one had a machete. No. Two of them were carrying baseball bats while the remaining one had a machete in his hand. Assault is right. Mental processing a couple of thousand times faster than a human? Only the droning of her wings was audible, if barely, and even that faded into the background shortly thereafter. He looked up from the screen and around the room. Yep. Wearing strange clothes that looked like they'd been stitched together from hide. Do you want to come in? she asked. But I have a lot of experience with AI design, and a lot of what Im seeing fits some of the patterns Ive experimented with for data mining by sentient machines. She hurled herself forwards. They were standing on the sidewalk outside her house. Once I managed to get enough control over the insect senses and decode the vision, which was a pain in the ass, I started watching what Tinkers were doing all over the place. She snickered a little, shaking her head. OK, then, we have a Thinker rating of Run Away. It was very complicated to come up with and like I said a while ago, it was only today that I finally worked out all the bugs. Because of the muggers chasing me, the brunette said before the question was finished. To every arthropod and worm on the planet. Which would be bad, he suggested, based on her tone. Turning, she grabbed both her sister's shoulders. What the hell had Hebert triggered as? am I? the mystery voice completed for her, definitely amused now. More appeared, until the effect was a bit like a model of an atom, half a dozen of the insects flying in circles around a common point. Whoever is behind it seems curious about everything. Fuck, she said in a small voice. Have read that! Glowworm is a Worm fanfic written by redshirt. Dont worry too much about her, she said she didnt care any more. Im not the second coming of Nilbog, or anything like that, although I expect a lot of people will come to that conclusion. He had people to fill in. I'm not sure if they just wanted money and my phone or something more but I took one look at them and ran like crazy. She shuddered in remembrance. 134 guests I also wanted to tell you that Im putting up some wards around the house. She made them. Her sister frowned a little, trying to understand. Hive isnt just a name, its a description, the insect woman commented as she stared. Now you dont Again, she vanished. Long acting but counter agent available. Hey, wait! he called just before she reached the edge. No, it's not. Shading his eyes with his hand, he peered into the distance, curious for the moment rather than concerned. You mean Capes? No, she chuckled. Somehow rolling to her feet she kept going, all the while hoping someone would help her. Whats so weird about that, compared to, I dont know, Lung, maybe? "Um Point to you. Hope through overwhelming firepower Taylor becomes a weapon of galactic war, complete. I was admiring the design. The (un)lucky person turns out to be one Taylor Hebert, having just been stuffed into a school locker by a trio of bullies. He was finding the lack of human expressions somewhat disturbing despite himself although her body language was nonthreatening. Tada! Holding another hand above it, Hive made the appendage glow a soft green color like a firefly, which Amy realized was almost certainly from the same chemical reaction. It immediately beeped at him. I've posted the beginnings of the BOLO cross here, and being quite fond of it, may well at some point get back to it. Are you going to go after Sophia? he added after some thought, tensing a little just to be on the safe side. Create an account to follow your favorite communities and start taking part in conversations. Please consider turning it on! That's not really an explanation, sis, the blonde sighed. Not human. He stared, horrified. He looked down at the 9mm pistol he was holding tightly, his right forefinger absently flicking the safety. She Triggers, with the power to copy other powers. It would have been fairly quick, I believe, he added after a moment. Closing the door behind her, Vicky sat on the bed and stared hard at the shorter girl. Or maybe had the conversation with someone else in New Wave, which would be a much more believable and reasonable outing of a Cape than to one of her many college buddies. The beginnings of a story I started around mid-2015 in the Worm setting, but semi-abandoned when I started Taylor Varga. Here, now, the light of hope shines bright. Exactly. 1 Bremen1 2 yr. ago A Touch of the Divine sounds like it would fit, though unfortunately the author passed away before finishing it. While shes here, talk to the rest of the Wards and find out whether they think she could be involved in bullying a fellow student. She was only about eleven at the time and it took a while for her to fully understand that her mother had died in a car accident and she'd never see her again. She glanced at him, then went back to staring out to sea. Take over the world? She laughed for a few seconds, sounding very amused. The first couple of decades were very bad. tip: katekyou "alternate universe" sort:>words. Her voice sounded wistful if anything. Sit down, Sophia, Piggot ordered in a tone of voice that brooked no disobedience. Then one day, the three main perpetrators of the torture managed to outdo themselves. We had a nice long talk about all sorts of things and she told me a story, of three nasty little girls who tortured a schoolmate to the point she Triggered. Shes lying, Sophia tried. Shadow Stalker felt someone staring at her, making her peer back over her shoulder with a scowl. Somethings wrong, she said slowly, concentrating. The second story I started is this one. Wow. Lost in admiration, she stared into the inhuman yet apparently friendly visage for a few seconds, before looking around at the three muggers, who were still frozen in place. Oh. He couldn't think what to say after that for a little while, during which she went back to looking at the scenery. Why were they chasing you? Checking the time he winced. She snapped her head around to gape at him. Urgh, what's that stink? she added distastefully. Work Search: There was something about the voice that made him suspect the person beside him had gone through things that were beyond his understanding in many ways. She could have fought back, of course, but a lot of the time the abuse was mental rather than physical, something teenaged girls are terrifyingly good at. Eventually Piggot stirred behind her desk. Every day he'd eat the same kind of food, dress the same, sit in front of the same kind of shows. Well, until the S9 made a pit stop in Brockton Bay anyway, in the latest chapter. Reaching the roof of his target a few seconds later he hopped over the edge and landed behind the figure, which didn't move. When she finished and stopped talking, Vicky simply looked at her for close to thirty seconds without saying anything at all.

Several hundred exabytes at least just in the public facing servers, yes, she admitted. Create an account to follow your favorite communities and start taking part in conversations. A parahuman with global reach? he eventually said. But it was a little more involved really. Still, a six foot tall bug? Her sister was watching her with her head cocked to the side, a very strange expression on her face. What do you think?, Lisa smiled, as the light from the crystals reached dazzling heights. Standing, he looked around, then back to her. Amy met the blonde's eyes with her own in the mirror and held up a hand, showing the unpleasantly adherent goo. In the end, as the footsteps grew louder from the alley, she dived between the third and fourth dumpster, which had a gap just large enough to permit her fairly slight frame to squeeze in. Which makes it murder, of course. On top of a major arson case, all of it firmly in our purview, the rather obese woman sighed. Pretender fits, in that Taylor is powered by worship, though she's not as powerful as many of the other fics recced already. You people? he asked, grinning for a moment. She has very good control over her physiological reactions. Assault stared at the figure in front of him for several seconds, trying to put his finger on it, but all he could think was that he was getting very uncomfortable all of a sudden, his heart rate rising and his body getting ready for combat.
