Chancellor Inga Braun was at the Berlin Tegel Airport to greet Gwen and Steve upon their arrival, and did so with great warmth. The two women hugged and were soon chatting like old friends. Gwen invited Chancellor Braun to ride in the motorcade with her to the American embassy, which would allow them more time to discuss issues of mutual concern. For her par...
[note from the author: This is the latest chapter in a story that I've been writing over the past six years, with far too many breaks and delays in writing for my own liking. My apologies to anyone who has been reading and waiting! Chapter 5 saw two of our heroes, Tess Trueheart and Bree Carson - special agents in an elite spy agency called "Decider Enterp...
While Simon was staring down the army all he had to do for the time being was hold the army back until his allies could join in. The enemies were too far away to hear what they were saying even with Simons heightened senses, Simon could see the shadow moving on the shroud that the rape demon had which to Simon indicated that something was moving. This was wh...
This story takes place before Creation's Guardian. A gegobyte is an actual term for measuring computer data. A gegobyte is 10 to the power of 30. It's meaningless to think about how many DVDs that would be, but suffice it to say it's more than I could watch in a lifetime. A special thanks to my editor Kayline Blake for her title suggestions and her usual...
Author's Note: My humblest thanks to everyone who has been reading this story, and a warm welcome to new readers. This story spent a long time sitting in the hard drive of my old laptop. I want to thank my team for bringing it back to life: Melanie R. for her insurance advice, Dr. K. Wright for answering all of my medical questions, and my fantastic betas:...
Harleigh Ryder's POV Orlando, FL I locked my Freshman Chemistry textbook into the saddlebag of my light blue Harley-Davidson Street Glide and grabbed my leather jacket. It was in the mid-70's, perfect December weather in Orlando. "Harleigh, you going to the party at Julie's Saturday night," Sarah asked. Julie was the senior shortstop on my University o...
"Are you sure this is what Khadgar intended?" Pinter asked from the saddle of her silverback Talbuk. Corneas sat high on his mount and stuck out his chest, the typical reaction Pinter had seen from the Night Elf whenever she or Mandala asked him something concerning the Archmage. "I speak only what the mage tells me," Corneas said. "If there's a possibilit...
Author's note: This story takes place shortly before Captain America 2. ***** If Maria Hill had wanted a simple and easy life she wouldn't have joined SHIELD, or worked so hard to reach the position of Deputy Director at a record-breakingly young age, and she certainly wouldn't have been so hands-on when she reached such a position of power. Of course sh...
For the next two days, I spent much of my time getting acclimated with the Minty Urbach PSG-1 sniper rifle I'd be using during the assault. Sighting through the Leupold Mark 4 scope, I couldn't miss targets a half mile away. Of course, the targets weren't moving around or shooting back. At Tampico, all hell would break loose as soon as I fired the first shot...
Reggie couldn't believe how fast things fell apart. Somehow, another international manufacturing firm had patented a strikingly similar version of his premier technology before he and his partners were able to bring it to full development. His deal selling Anton the exclusive rights became null and void. Without any foreseeable cash flow, there was no money...
