Eventually, his hands stilled, then he very slowly raised the gun and looked down the barrel. She shouldnt really be in the position shes in because of that. The woman sounded sure of her conclusions. Eventually Piggot stirred behind her desk. Glowworm is a Worm fanfic written by redshirt. Dengue fever cases since the end of January? 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. Just basic stuff: a couple shields, anti-scrying, and a few bad-guy deterrents.. Although Taylor sandbags harder than all of The Endbringers combined, occasionally, she does show her true power. Her tormentors stole her homework and used it themselves, destroyed what they couldn't use, stole her property over and over again, including mementos of her mother, did everything they could to make her life hell. Master 8? I was hiding behind it, she replied, now a little internally amused herself. And when Dragon revealed that the best, if not only way to save her, was adoption, well She would just have to learn how to be a good mother, wouldn't she? 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. But thanks anyway. They both fell silent again. Reaching the roof of his target a few seconds later he hopped over the edge and landed behind the figure, which didn't move. Lacey and Kurt? Walking into the abandoned warehouse they used as a base, Lisa listened with irritation to Alec and Brian bickering behind her. Really, really badly. You really want to know? she asked after a long moment. In the aftermath, she starts to realize that no matter how much she tries, a normal life on Earth Bet is impossible, not with what she's become, what she can do. She laughed bitterly. Every day he'd eat the same kind of food, dress the same, sit in front of the same kind of shows. But she knows one hell of a lot about DNA and insect manipulation, I can tell you that much for sure. But yes, its actually rather terrifying. No, remarkably enough. Im fine, but were not going to be if we dont get out of here right now, she yelped. The words seemed to mean only what they said. She slapped his hand away, still looking around. If I had to guess, maybe 10k or 20k words. (Un)Fortunately, Taylor would rather live on the streets than go with them. Some thought that a trigger event was the traumatic part of getting powers. Added to just the things I saw her do, if she wanted you dead, the only thing you could do would be make a will. It was strange. Her sister waited, while she thought, looking impatient. Whining sound. While the overall body shape, except for the extra arms, was more or less humanoid in pattern, the head wasn't. It looks like someone or something has more or less downloaded the internet. He gaped at the monitor for a few seconds. She almost sounded scared. Incomplete, and I haven't read it in a while, but I remember it being quite good. Sort of just so competent and sure of herself. 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 least because no one listens anyway. As close as Taylor was to her mom, she barely knew of her time with Lustrum. Would be interesting to see a story around the world after/through Taylors changes. He'd seen extreme close-up photomicrographs of various insects on the internet, some of which were genuinely beautiful in a rather alien way. As I said up at the top, I'm uncertain if I'll pick it up again in the future or not. misread your question. For what it's worth, though, I've posted what I finished. Taylor Hebert A (not so) completed Worm fanfic by Yklia written on the Spacebattles forums. Using a parahuman weapon in the process. Yes. Hearing a slap she looked over her shoulder to see Alec rubbing his neck with an annoyed expression. Together with a former serial killer doctor and a heroic organization whose morality is held together by duct tape they will need to find a way to save the world. Oh, my god, thats amazing, she mumbled, her power tracing out the biological intricacies of the body she was touching. 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. Tada! Victoria didn't seem to notice. To be honest, he was at a loss for the moment. By the time Assault managed to calm his whirling thoughts enough to speak sensibly, the insectoid woman had stood and gone back to watching the Sun rise slowly into the sky, apparently enjoying the sight. Ah. Anyway, since I wrote it, I may as well let others read it. Dawn of Worm Taylor is a Primarch from an AU version of Warhammer 40k, complete. I'm looking forward what Lisa and/or her Shard comes up with. Ive just had the most terrifying conversation of my life with someone who could do things to you that you wouldnt believe, and in my opinion would be fully justified in doing so, but you can thank every deity youve ever heard of that shes a better person than you are. A new one, presumably, or else a renamed one. An obscenely high level one. Dawn of Worm Taylor is a Primarch from an AU version of Warhammer 40k, complete. You see, once upon a time there was a girl, she grew up over that way somewhere, she began, waving one arm vaguely towards the Docks area in general. He twitched quite a lot, the sound taking him by surprise after the silence of the roof broken only by the hum of the air conditioner fans and a faint sound of traffic from the road ten stories below, muted due to the fact it was Sunday. The only negative is that this is a one shot, and although long and good, it still leaves you with an empty feeling in your soul when you finish and want more. Holy shit, she mumbled in shock. Do you have any idea how many that would be, even at this time of year? He shook his head. Unfortunately, we have no proof of the involvement of any specific person yet. Have you talked to Shadow Stalker yet? the Director queried. In a way. Assault sat there for a while during which she went back to watching the wasps dance in the air. Were going to be reopening the Hebert case. Annette Hebert was a mystery. Resolving to exercise more if she survived the next few hours, she pelted down the narrow alleyway hearing the several sets of footsteps behind her hesitate, then follow where shed turned off the main road. She designed that body from scratch. At least as much more in the private stuff that shouldnt be able to be accessed, yet as far as I can tell somehow was. Who, how, and why, I suppose are the main questions, he finally stated. It started out as a yellowjacket but I shrank it to make it less obvious and to raise the pitch of the wings enough that it wasnt very audible, and changed the color so it doesnt stand out. I did that six weeks ago from some points of view, she giggled. Yep. In a very short period of time. Taylor controls all the Endbringers. Thats more than a little worrying. And who the hell is Hive? Now smiling a little, feeling weirdly pleased with the way she'd shaken her normally pretty unflappable sister, Amy went back yet again to cleaning her hands, digging around under the sink for something more effective than soap and water. There was nothing left except for a few fragments of bone. Oh my god, thats amazing. The two men looked around as well, as did Rachel as she pushed past her teammate with a grunt of irritation. Cool, isnt it? Staring carefully he could just about make out a faint distortion against the background, the effect a little like the one in the Predator movies, which was an unsettling idea. Right through a window, nowhere near the E88 guys, who notice him, chase him, and in the end, kill him. Unfortunately the firebomb was a pretty effective one, it torched the school more or less immediately. She fell silent for a moment. Three paralyzed muggers at the following coordinates, ready for pickup. How much more? he asked slowly. Possibly more than everything else. The burn pattern essentially confirms this theory. On. Amy met the blonde's eyes with her own in the mirror and held up a hand, showing the unpleasantly adherent goo. I think. Walking slowly closer, Amy inspected the creature who was watching her. Anyway, I need something to eat. A story? he inquired. Holding another hand above it, Hive made the appendage glow a soft green color like a firefly, which Amy realized was almost certainly from the same chemical reaction. Not even slightly. Taylor is the avatar of a Greater Being. This body is a construct I designed for human interaction. Armsmaster nodded slightly. He couldnt entirely disagree with any of the points she raised. 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. Watching in wonder Amy saw the insect lift off with a faint high-pitched whine she could barely hear, like a small mosquito, then fly to and enter a tiny hole in the carapace on the arm of the hand that was glowing. Amy nodded convulsively. She was fitting facts to the story we wanted to hear, not the one she was going to tell. You are not their equal, but one day you might be. So you're not human, then? he asked. Easy enough to influence if you know how. They looked at each other for a few seconds more. But Id like to talk to you sometime, if thats OK. Curious, Amy nodded. Both of them liked reading about Capes, and they used to wonder if they'd be heroes when they got older. She fell silent for a moment. Is the sole requirment that someone calls her a goddess, that's it, or is there something more specific? Should have floored it, Barlett muttered, taking a sip of his coffee. It's been a very long time since I've seen the sunrise with my own eyes like this. She was in there for hours, and absolutely no one helped her. I suspect it was thrown through a window some distance from the lockers. Sophia, you are without doubt one of the most unpleasant people Ive ever met, he snarled back. Kind of. The sole survivor of the Hebert family sat in his chair for another ten minutes, before he quietly got up, retrieved the pistol, carefully unloaded it and locked it in his desk, then went downstairs and out the door of the Dockworkers Association building, locking it behind him. Where have you been for more than two months? Studying him wordlessly for a while, she eventually walked back with an air of mild resignation, somehow conveyed without the aid of normal expressions. With wasps. Vicky looked at her sister, both eyebrows rising. Assault out. By now he was close enough to see that the shiny reflective surface looked like someone in a somewhat weird looking suit of power armor, not anything he recognized. Everyone stared at her. Only the droning of her wings was audible, if barely, and even that faded into the background shortly thereafter. With a very warped view of interpersonal relations, as well. We've noticed, he told her. I'm just curious at the moment, there's something on the roof of the Fosberg Gallery that I want to have a look at. Acknowledged. Hope through overwhelming firepower Taylor becomes a weapon of galactic war, complete. 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. She is imbued with a multitude of powers, with which she is to complete a single mission: bring ruin in the Horned Rat's name, or face his wrath. Puzzled and worried she followed as he led her to a meeting room, which she trailed him into. Hive. A set of GPS coordinates followed the message. Certainly not on a world-wide basis. Colin raised his eyes from where hed been staring at his hands, thinking, to look at his best friend again. She turned up out of nowhere and stopped them. In her case, it was the "vision" that followed. While we've done our best to make the core functionality of this site accessible without javascript, it will work better with it enabled. Until she triggered with the biggest ego of all: that of Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes. Her father withdrew into himself a lot, as did she, in different ways. No family left. Maybe 4 or above. True. Add Mover, probably at least 3 as well, for the flight. She was silent for a few seconds. Not human. Or right, perhaps. The exoskeleton seemed to be made primarily of carbon, in the shape of incredible monomolecular structures, all biologically created. The thing that he kept coming back to was that he was fairly sure she wasn't fully human. Usefully, it worked surprisingly well, most of the grime coming off instantly and the remainder being loosened enough that she could now wash it away. But I hope we can come up with something to give him a little comfort. Unlikely, the tall man muttered. Finally, he said, Sorry, I have to ask. am I? the mystery voice completed for her, definitely amused now. Checking the time he winced. They chased me for at least ten or twelve minutes, until I got trapped in some sort of loading area way off the main streets. (Worm), Worm - UFO Defense (Worm/XCOM - Fusion Fic). Somethings wrong, she said slowly, concentrating. Despite her ideals, or probably because of them, she would have taken it very hard. Huddled as far back as she could get she waited for whatever would happen, her heart hammering in her ears. Somewhere. This will probably be a relatively short fic, I don't have any schedule in mind because I am writing this to amuse myself first and foremost. I could see it could have some uses for reconnaissance, that sort of thing, he ventured. Sophia Hess. Yes. But thank you for explaining all that, as terrifying as it is. Youre welcome, she replied. Combat uses are less obvious but I guess being stung a lot would slow most people down if nothing else. True, she replied. Elephants have nearly three times as many, but humans are right near the top of the list from that point of view. I genuinely thought I'd gone mad. She sighed. Work Search: It was only the fact that some bone marrow survived more or less intact that let me run a DNA test at all. He stopped speaking for a few seconds, apparently considering something, then slowly went on, Director, the one thing I can guarantee is that the Hebert girl didnt lock herself in there. A very, very large one. Colin went pale, slumping back in his chair, as the ramifications of her bombshell went through his mind. 'Tall, maybe six feet, and slender. Two months she said reflectively. She made them. Her sister frowned a little, trying to understand. Did you hear that? one of the men looking for her asked his friends. The second story I started is this one. 10 even? Piggot asked, looking worried. Just a feeling. A feeling? he asked curiously. Can also be found on Sufficient Velocity here. He waited silently, thinking there was something vaguely familiar about this. Now, I'm not necessarily looking for just a power wank, but a story that is actually good and deals with the entire thing realistically and reasonably. The fledgling PRT and Protectorate were quick to encircle it with walls once theyd confirmed strange creatures had begun to emerge from its depths and odd phenomena followed at their heels. This could be a problem, he eventually said. Blinking, she stared harder, but could no longer see anything. Queen of Blood is a crossover with Castlevania where Taylor becomes the new Goddess of Darkness. It was pretty dark so it seemed possible. The brunette laughed a little nervously. That two and a half months since Taylor died until now? She slowly turned her head and stared at him. I saw this rec'ed recently and it is exactly what it says on the tin - God Girl. He grunted a little, affirmatively, unwilling to stop his current task until be finished the delicate manipulations. When Archaon the Everchosen rejects the gifts of the Great Horned Rat, the spurned deity decides to find someone else out of pettiness and tosses a shard of warpstone into the abyss. I may troll her a little now and then just to keep her honest but her crimes towards me are a long way in the past from my point of view. She sighed. All linked together into one huge neural network. Oh, Christ on a stick, he moaned. We have too much to lose right now. Weapon. He stirred, asking, But how did you? Escape? He heard a resigned chuckle. Dont worry too much about her, she said she didnt care any more. Only those dumpsters left, the machete-wielding assailant announced. How did that help? It was very impressive. I find it hard to believe that she doesnt know something about what must have been a very vicious bullying campaign against this girl. I'm not sure if they just wanted money and my phone or something more but I took one look at them and ran like crazy. She shuddered in remembrance. Way too much work. Shaking a little as he wondered frantically how much of that had been a joke, he watched as she looked slowly around. Taylor just laughed. Just read Caught In Causality, and man Taylor never catches a break huh? But thats only my guess at the moment. A faint, deep, humming sound slowly percolated through her mind. If you have enough examples to compare and enough background data you can start to make sense of the principles behind it. Well, until the S9 made a pit stop in Brockton Bay anyway, in the latest chapter. Dragon and Armsmaster seem to have noticed so youll probably hear about it soon. Isn't it a beautiful day? Other than that, Ive got a lot to think about. She looked over her shoulder at him for a second. The insect control is also a definite Shaker rating, at least 2 or higher, since as she said she could make every insect in an area attack someone. Im not a Tinker, at all, but I can fake it with the best of them. She tapped the side of her head, her claws making a faint click. Like I said, in my opinion shes a better person than you are. The few times she did fight back, she was the one punished as no one believed her over her tormentors, who were well connected for various reasons. She noticed Assault looking at her and transferred her worried gaze to him. The brunette shrugged. Assuming you had time. But the end result was totally unlike anything shed ever encountered. After a moment she looked at him again. Miss Militia had learned over time, how to expect the unexpected. Least 3 as well, until the S9 made a pit stop Brockton.
