Ayumi owed Caroline a great deal. Before the Escape, Caroline had been one of the scientists working for the irredeemably evil Madame Arch-Designer (M.A.D). M.A.D's rule over the facility where Ayumi had been born turned out to be so totalitarian that the workers there were as much prisoners as the Biomechanicals. Many soon found her tyrannical rule over t...
"She's not an easy one to pin down, my Lady." Tira reported, nervously wringing her hands as she stood before Karandreya in the drawing room. Three weeks had passed - three weeks of discreet inquiries met with stonewalling, feigned ignorance, and rare tidbits. Three weeks of sleepless nights worrying that someone would visit in the night to politely, but fir...
This is the fourth in my ongoing series of Batgirl stories, in which I try to explore the developing sexuality of her everyday counterpart, Barbara Gordon and her relationships with those around her, hopefully with a dash of excitement thrown in, for good measure.

Valentine's Day. I fucking hate Valentine's Day. Everyone is "in love" but me. Being forty and single is difficult enough, but add Valentine's Day to the mix, and its absolute hell. I have been on a dating frenzy this past year. Met some real nice guys, but I didn't make any love connections. They were either funny, but completely unattractive or hot as hell...
Life had become one great party. I got the new job as promised and settled into a pattern of at least one night a week with the Cult. It was fantastic. Since I had proven myself to them so well, they had not "used" me in any adventures for a while. I knew, though, that it was time to get back on stage, and from the comments I had heard, everyone wanted Katie...
Sandra went deeper into the murky underworld of deceit, and past a message onto Mr Cheesman, letting him know, she was willing to give him the diamonds back. The reply soon came, and Cheesman was more than willing to discuss matters and asked for a meeting. Charles found himself sitting in the Range Rover overlooking the river Welland as the early morning m...
Ravenscraig loomed over the party as they stood at the lip of the crater that kissed up against the edge of chaotic terrain that made up Ravencraig's foundation. The ancient seeming stone and steel edifice rose almost fifty feet upwards, after itself being placed on the edge of a craig that loomed over the surrounding countryside, giving it a slanted, danger...

You live in 'Millennium' City, the suddenly and unexpectedly created city at the center of the lower 48, which is one of the few places on earth where superheroes and villains can duke it out without doing too much damag...
"What an insane day!" Lori Richards threw her purse on the couch, startling her sleeping cat. Taking a deep breath, she headed for the kitchen and made herself a Rum and Coke, fully intending on enjoying her first free evening in weeks. Suddenly her phone rang, and a muffle curse exploded from her lips. "Hello?" Her voice was irritable and edgy. "Lori, I...
