Restricted to insect or arthropod based forms from what she said, but with additions that could come from anywhere. Isn't it a beautiful day? At first she dismissed it as imagination, but it got louder and louder, suddenly stopping somewhere above her and to the right. You can call me Hive. Wracking her brain, Amy couldnt recall any cape of that name. Because it was the right thing to do. 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. You're Taylor Hebert.

There was a Post-GM fic where Taylor became house-wife and rising a daughter in the world where she(Khepri) is worshipped like a god and her husband is a priest of this religion, An Idiot's Guide to the Underworld [Worm/Hades] short, I didn't enjoy Hades much cause its not my type of game, but that was incredibly enjoyable, Divine Administration - of Gods and Bureaucracy, https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/divine-administration-of-gods-and-bureaucracy-worm-exalted.13442/.

As little as possible, Im afraid. Invisible. It worked, more or less, and she slowly began to get over the death of her mother. The insect-woman sighed faintly, pausing her story for a few seconds. Stuck inside a box smaller than a coffin, surrounded by horrific crap that should have been incinerated days ago, in enormous pain and sensory overload from seeing and hearing and smelling through millions of insects Then the heat, and the smoke. No doubt readers could pick out points of similarity if they cared to. Thats a lot of data. Several hundred exabytes at least just in the public facing servers, yes, she admitted. BBFD fire investigators have also come to the same conclusion, which is why they called us in the first place. Damn it, Piggot growled. Hurt and alone, with nowhere else to go and very little to lose, a girl finds shelter in another's unexpected kindness. I cant prove it one way or another as of yet. All right, Piggot replied, with a frown of her own. If you could do that why would you restrict it to human levels? Good point, Dragon replied, adding a Brute 2+ rating to the tally. While we've done our best to make the core functionality of this site accessible without javascript, it will work better with it enabled. Puzzled and worried she followed as he led her to a meeting room, which she trailed him into. Not your fault, she replied. What the hell had Hebert triggered as? Hello, Assault, the figure suddenly said, the voice female and clear. All the internal organs were protected by a more flexible and thinner version of the exoskeleton. We know youre here little girl, this one called in a rough voice full of malicious amusement. The same. Find Shadow Stalker and have her see me, she said. In a murder? Shes come very close, although admittedly almost by accident as far as I know, more than once before, Piggot said tiredly. She had ideals, you see, she wanted to be a Hero.

No, Im not. Its very difficult to be sure, Director, Armsmaster replied after apparently thinking over the question carefully. Here, now, the light of hope shines bright. The wasp was joined by another one, both of them taking off and flying interlocked rings. Dismissed. Director. He nodded one last time to her then left the office, closing the door quietly behind himself. When I hear OP's request, I think a god like creator god, or maybe like a divine administer, someone who embodies and holds total power over some domain of existance. Hearing a slap she looked over her shoulder to see Alec rubbing his neck with an annoyed expression. A new one, presumably, or else a renamed one.

A story. Not natural one, Construct. Like literally in the D&D sense. It was a remarkable effect considering no flight powers of the normal type were in use. She was in a much better mood than she probably should have been, and indeed had been for weeks. Despite her ideals, or probably because of them, she would have taken it very hard. She almost sounded scared. Wasp stings hurt, sure, I remember that from before I got my powers, but unless there were a lot of them or the muggers were allergic I can't see how that would help much. These were special wasps, Amy giggled. Whoever did this work is brilliant. Thanks again, Hive commented, sounding like she would be grinning given a more human face. I mean, her body alone Vicky grinned. Hive shook her head after a moment. After a moment he slowly turned his head to look at the moth that had been flying circles around the light over one of the desks for the last half hour. It was a second trigger, but something went wrong. Hello, Tattletale, the thing said in a womans voice, a note of satisfaction in it. After a few seconds, she held up her upper right hand, the superhero beside her watching with interest as a wasp appeared from nowhere and landed on the extended first finger.

Im not interested in telling most people what to do, its very boring. For a moment, leathery wings materialised behind her and with a single beat she launcher herself across the dark waters. There was a quiet rhythm to them, a delicate balancing act between boredom and terror, between long silences where your mind could wander and moments where you were so focused you could spot a dropped pin. It was definitely Taylor Hebert, Im afraid. Poor kid, the Director of the ENE PRT muttered. A real AI isnt automatically a threat, you know, despite what the movies would have you believe. That may be so but even if not we need to look into it, he retorted, reaching over to turn off the microscope, then pick up his helmet. Lacey and Kurt? I dont know. Do you think she was behind the anomalies you detected? The insect-borne diseases, definitely, Dragon confirmed with a nod. The man lost his wife less than three years ago, and now his only daughter in horrific circumstances. She has a vicious streak that we dont seem to have managed to do much about so far.

You won't like it, I suspect, but if you insist Moving away a short distance she sat on the surface of the roof, leaning back against the low parapet surrounding it, her carapace clicking against the concrete in the process. But for Taylor, it was bad. She resumed watching the performing wasps, which now numbered about a dozen, forming ever more elaborate patterns in the air. Tada!

Some people think he writes his protagonists as too aggressive/violent, but if you're ok with the premise of each fic nothing leaves plausible territory. A story? he inquired. as well as I'm going to plug Tonight, She Comes which is my crossover with the movie Hancock. Taylor is the avatar of a Greater Being. Taylor just laughed. He noticed it had three slender claw-tipped fingers and apparently two thumbs, one on each side.

Which is the fact that, for the last six weeks, there have been no new cases of malaria diagnosed. I hope it finds its audience! Much of the current understanding of physics is incomplete at best and completely wrong at worst, so I had to redo a lot of it from scratch. And we have no idea how fast she can fly.

You are not their equal, but one day you might be. tip: katekyou "alternate universe" sort:>words. She shrugged slightly.

Little is publicly known about it, save that the tremor of its creation rippled around the world. People pick up on that sort of thing at a subconscious level, so its important to at least pretend or they start backing away and trying not to make eye contact. He grinned at her. Please consider turning it on! Sit down, Sophia, Piggot ordered in a tone of voice that brooked no disobedience. E88 or ABB? the blonde asked.

I wouldnt go that far, but Im certainly not a normal parahuman, no. She seemed to find the idea funny. That's how bad it was. He understood what she meant and winced. "Goddess" is not well definined between systems, different properties have very different ideas of what counts as a 'god'. Who the hell is Hive? she exploded. She headed for the stairs, her sister following her. Took quite a long time and Im not finished yet but its coming along well. Shaking her head as he stared, she added in an amused tone, I had to invent a whole new kind of mathematics to describe my models. I'd recommend skipping over the chapter from the 'Emperor's' perspective, it delves too much into the AU 40k which isn't great and he's grating. She designed that body from scratch. EDIT: sorry, God Girl is a one shot. literally all the conflicts just get waved away on accident. Did Lisa just 'Explode' with Realization and Exuberance? It also didn't really seem to be necessary from a story point of view? I have no idea how yet, but thats the theory I have currently. She paused, then added, After I found out about the malaria and confirmed it, I did some more checking. Around ninety billion. Unluckily, her power isn't the subtlest thing alive, and the Wards are chasing her soon after. They all headed up the stairs, Lisa stopping dead in the doorway and looking around suspiciously. There wasn't anything else to do, those guys were only about twenty seconds behind me and coming in the only way out. She must also be extremely smart, I think.

In the locker insted of gaining bug powers she becomes Leviathan Jr. New information makes it pretty certain that well be able to prove it was you and your little friends who were responsible for her being in that locker in the first place. He stared, then paled yet again. 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. Subjectively it took years to come up with the right design. She didn't say and I was a little preoccupied, so I forgot to ask. Maybe 4 or above. True. Add Mover, probably at least 3 as well, for the flight. She laughed bitterly. Hers is a nascent divinity. Its pretty safe and works really fast. I triggered, the power was a Master one essentially. Her eyes widened. I may add the stealth capability I have to it at some point, its a little too small for that to work properly but it could still help the thing hide.

An AU, Taylor Hebert loses the capacity for speech after the locker incident. 'Nearly a week since my life ended.' He looked around once more and when he looked back the moth was gone. I only got back today, you see, she added, and I thought I'd come here first. There was nothing left except for a few fragments of bone. If youd asked me that sometime in the first twenty or thirty years, Id have happily said I intended to do unto her what she did unto me, with interest, but I grew up. Not quite a psychopath, but amoral at best. Taylor was gone for five years, lost in a fantasy world where she had to fight the gods themselves to survive. She has absolutely no reason to lie and nothing to gain from it. Hilarity ensues. Anywhere. He paused, then looked up from the microscope, his brow furrowed, and met her virtual eyes. Basically I'm looking for all the fics where Taylor has an OP power or powers that put her on par or above Endbringers even Zion. I did that six weeks ago from some points of view, she giggled. She Triggers, with the power to copy other powers. This is ridiculous. He looked up at her. I'm incurably curious, aside from anything else. This made her snicker, then shrug. Hi, Assault.
