“It should be Jane.” Angus decided.
Patrick nodded. “She is the General, after all.”
“That doesn’t mean that I shoul-”
“You aren’t just our commander, Jane. We all owe you our lives several times over and, if you could do that without John’s… abilities…, imagine what you could do with them?” Angus replied.
Patrick nodded. “She is our saviour, after all.”
“But-” She started.
John interrupted. “Don’t I get a say in this?”
“Even if any of that wasn’t true, you’re the smartest of all of us – if anyone can figure all this ridiculous stuff out, it would be you!”
Patrick nodded. “She is a genius, after all.”
“Could you all please stop ignoring me?”
You guys… Jane smiled. “Alright, but I’ll be giving you my first levels, too.”
John sighed, looking resigned. “Hud? How do we do this?”
The knight’s eyes glazed over, his face blank.
“Do you think he’d notice if I punched him?” Angus questioned innocently.
Jane turned to him. “Of course, he’d notice! Don’t be such a child!” Would he notice?
Looking down, Angus kicked at the ground. “I poked him last time, pretty hard, and he didn’t feel it then!” He mumbled to himself.
I’m curious now… damnit, Angus!
John blinked, coming back to reality. “Set Jane Stone permissions, User.”
Checking level (John Stone)… complete
Deducting 1 level (John Stone)… complete.
Integrating with User… complete
Initiating System… complete
Uhuh… that’s just weird…
And that is rude, Jane Stone.
What? Who are you? Wait, are you like Hud?
Sigh. Yes, I am ‘like’ Hud.
You didn’t sigh, you just said it…

Jane took a moment to read over the text that had appeared in front of her.
John chose Powered, didn’t he?
He did, yes, but I would not recommend that option. It is quite unreliable! Skilled is a much be-
I choose Powered.
Oh, dear. I hope you’re lucky.
Growth option selected: Powered
Generating power…
True Psion (Mutation)
What’s True Psion mean? And mutation? Is that good?
Jane… that’s a fantastic ability! But it’s a mutation…
What?
Sorry, dear…
Jane collapsed to the ground, screaming as she clutched her head.
Mutations hurt, dear.

The Hawkshaw Inheritance
The Hawkshaw Inheritance is a completed story, with twenty chapters in total. For as long as almost anyone can remember, a small percentage of people have possessed fantastic gifts. Superhuman strength, speed, and smarts are just a few of the many such abilities on record. Some choose to exploit these powers for personal gain, but most use them for the benefit of their fellow man. Thanks to these people, who we call superheroes, the world is safe. The reality is a little more complicated. Most heroes are content to stop the supervillain and pose for the cameras. But it takes more than a few costumed cops and superpowered celebrities to save the world. Humanity is in danger from forces that ordinary heroes are woefully unequipped to handle. But neither they nor the public will ever be aware of the danger they are in, thanks to the efforts of the Council. For more than twenty years, the world's most powerful, influential, and intelligent metahumans have worked tirelessly in secret to protect the world, and subtly steer it on a better course. Six months ago, one of their number, the infamous vigilante detective known as Hawkshaw, disappeared without a trace. Now it falls to his protege to take up the mantle of Hawkshaw, learn the truth of his mentor's disappearance, and uncover the secrets of the most powerful people in the world... as well as what they're willing to do to keep those secrets buried.

Orion had never asked for any of this. He would have been happy living out his life in obscurity as son, brother, husband, maybe even father and grandfather.

Unfortunately, Avalon is better known for its incredible lethality and the cutthroat attitude it promotes among its students. The Academy's graduates number among the strongest mages in the world, but only a rare few live long enough to join that illustrious number. Updates every Mon/Fri and some Wednesdays. Absolutely horrible, screwed up things can and will happen, do not read if you are uncomfortable with that sort of content. On a similar note, please be advised that the story contains explicit content. If you do not want to read that sort of thing, then this story is not for you.

Poké Oneshots [Requests Temporarily Closed]
This is a small collection of oneshots that I either wrote for myself, or other people have requested. Requests are my top priority, so when you request, that comes immediately before anything that I happen to be writing for myself. Sometimes it may take me a while to publish the chapter you request, because the requests can back up a little bit.Requesting a scenario helps me form ideas a little faster, but if there's nothing in particular that you want to see, then I'll try my best to portray a good chapter from my viewpoint of the ship.You can absolutely request any ship that you want. There's a lot of oneshot collections out there who only do requests if it's a ship that they ship, but I know how hard it is to find stories for a ship that you like sometimes.Ships I'll probably inlude when writing for myself are:SpecialshippingNamelessshipping OldrivalshippingMangaquestshippingSoulsilvershippingFranticshippingAgencyshippingSequelshippingGreyskyshippingKalosshippingTwinleafshippingDualrivalshippingChessshippingFerriswheelshippingEntourageshippingCorruptedshippingBlacksoulshippingMalasadashippingLaverreshipping(You can request a ship and/or scenario)(I don't do ships from the anime, sorry (。ヘ°))
