Earth-617 The Jackal was dead to begin with. It'd been easy. Kaine had sent Sasha in, Jackal letting her in, asking her if she needed another copy of her husband or maybe some tea with extra rohypnol, and Kaine had crept up behind him and broken his neck. A little anticlimactic, really. "And I'd thought you'd gotten soft," Sasha said, checking the kill....
Sarah was an avid runner. Always managing to get in two to three miles before and after work. She truly enjoyed her daily tromp, passing the neighbors with a friendly wave, into town and through the large city park, with its many paved jogging trails. But what she enjoyed most was the way passers-by would look at her. Some, nearly undressing her with their e...
"Hello Father Nigel." I almost purred at the clergyman as he approaches me. It's just too much fun watching his face twist slightly in disgust when he sees me in my red suit. "Hell Asylum. I was beginning to believe you had finally moved on." For a man in his mid sixties Father Nigel Azi Jayes is certainly not lacking a spine. He locked his eyes with mine...
Taken from the transcript of recordings by psychiatrist Dr. Strukely at the Koczewye Mental Institute, name of subject witheld Father, I have sinned. I nearly wished I could say those words then.

Peggy had broken into high-security HYDRA compounds. A closed-door audition was no major problem. From the shadows, she watched as Angie ran her dialogue, preened and postured to display her effervescent look, all but showed her teeth like a horse at auction. They ran her through her paces, the Broadway men—expecting her to perform a three-hour show, matin...
It's a nasty word. Whore. Alena stared at the word she had scrawled repeatedly in her notebook – 'Whore.' She had just finished researching the word, or rather the vocation of what was termed 'The world's second oldest profession,' and began asking herself the questions she had avoided until this moment. Do I really crave psychological abuse? Do I have l...
Captain Marcello and her men were on open ground before the castle gates. The captain cursed at herself for this unexpected development. She knew the area before the castle would be cleared, but she had hoped for a smaller area. "Fan out men!" she yelled waving his hand in both directions. She didn't like having her men spread so thin, but then again she di...
So it came to pass in that golden age of heroes that many kings, queens, and oracles came to the same conclusion: monsters, be they from the land, air, or sea, would take tribute. It was King Minos with his terrible beast of a stepson who started the tribute idea, mostly because he was the first to demand it, and the yearly take became normal for the entire...
Harley groggily opened her eyes, panicking for a moment at the unfamiliar surroundings, then remembered where she was. Sighing, she rolled out of the bed, placing her bare feet on the ground in front of her. There was a dress lying on the end of the bed, and surprised, Harley got up and put it on. She didn't know why Cal would leave her a dress, after maki...
