>Keep everybody else with the loop (press conferences are lovely this time of the year)

I dived for the ground, my fingers around the phone, trying not to squeeze so hard it broke. I let myself hover near a river, the plains around as desolate as I felt. Shrubs, a white cliff to my right, no animals in sight, the air still after the organized chaos thousands feet above. I sat myself on a rock, my hood over my face, the cape around my knees.

After a few deep breaths, I called Manifold. If there was any way to fix me, he was my best bet.

"How bad is it?" he said as soon as he picked up, his voice alternating between a childish pitch and the bass it was growing into.

"Hi, Manifold," I said, and waited for a few moments. All business, he was. "It’s pretty bad. Ksenya, I mean, Dr Levovna, she said—" I continued, before stopping abruptly, a lump in my throat. "Brain cancer, metastasing, terminal, a few months, if that."

"Okay. Send me her details, I’ll get back to you."

"Don’t tell anybody else," I said before he could hang up.

It took a few moments for him to say "Sure" and click off. I sent him Ksenya’s mail address and number.

My mind was numb while waiting for him to reply. Maybe that was the effect of the bloated lumps of cells growing in my head. I shuddered, and the phone started buzzing.

Damn. Warlord.

Forgot my stupid namefag from the quest thread, sorry.

"Warlord."

"Sekhmet."

A minute silence, then he unleashed his fury.

"What the fuck do you think you’re doing, benikobi!"

"Warlord, language."

"Fuck your language, prissy white bitch!" he said, and I rolled my eyes.

"You’re the big-hitter," he continued, "you’re the fucking hero all wearing white and you leave in the middle of the fucking battle?! And you don’t say anything for two whole fucking days? While we have to deal with the clones?"

"But, but I put him down?" I said, and I hated that my dismissal had turned into a question.

"No, you fucking did not. Check your fucking kills before you go on holidays next time. The blood of the dead is on your hands. I will not waste more time on you."

The dial startled me, and I almost let the phone go. I fucked up. I fucked up so badly. Vinciere, clone master, serial killer, mass murderer, and I let him go? What would I say? Sorry, for the first time in nine years, I had a headache?

Manifold called me back.

"Sekhmet, you need to come back. I have to run some tests before I can say anything conclusive," he said. He hanged up before I could say anything else.

Hold back the tears.

Try not to cry.

Cry.

Writing.

Somewhere in Siberia to New York in less than three hours, avoiding Chinese airspace and a diplomatic incident. I didn’t remember much of it. Plains, ocean, some mountains, plains, cities. The city, finally, clad in night lights. I touched down atop the Special Response building in the UN enclave, and was greeted by Logos’s bearhug. I let him try to comfort me, my arms slack at my sides.

After a while, he took a step back and looked at me, squinting his blue eyes and stroking his blonde beard.

"If you don’t mind me saying so, you really need a shower and a change of clothes," he said. "And maybe something to eat, drink?"

I smiled, just a tad. "That sounds great."

"It’s a deal, then!" he said and started walking towards the stairs.

One of the men in the security detail strode by Logos, already lost in his own world, and whispered to me: "The Director would like to see you at the earliest opportunity."

"Thanks," I replied.

"Sorry," he said before going back to his place.

Uh.

I flew until I was next to Logos, and stopped when we reached the stairs. He noticed my hesitation and said: "Warlord is out. Probably training or something like that. Whatever he does to calm himself."

I nodded.

Quests come, quests go.

Think this one is gone, at least for the day.

You’ll be okay by yourself?"

I shot Logos a look and he waved the implication aside with a smile.

"After your shower," he said, with an emphasis on the first word.

"Yeah, I think. I have to see Manifold about... Hm, well, I have to see him."

He didn’t press me, shrugged and gave me a wave and a wink, leaving me alone in front of the palatial doors leading to my corner of the floor. I was still not used to the luxury. I wasn’t poor before my powers kicked in and people started calling me the ‘Sun Goddess’, but that was something else altogether. I undid the hook on my cape, removed the bodysuit and balled it all up under my arm. The temperature was always perfect, the humidity on the dot. A dozen steps in and I was already relaxing, knots in my muscles I didn’t know were there already smoothing.

I crossed the living room/office/reception hall, decorated with Egyptian stuff, in gold and wood, the panels on the wall and the floor gleaming like always. That was the biggest room of my allocated space, and it reflected my ‘superhero’ persona. Not really mine, but even without a secret identity, you learn to use masks.

[Cont.]

>>37266854
My room was more down-to-earth, in the same scattered way I had left it to deal with Vinciere. I winced at the thought. Lights open, and on my bed, the laptop still running, the browser open on a fansite dedicated to me. I let my costume fall on the floor roughly where my heap of laundry laid and flicked my computer off. I sat down, and looked at everything I might lose. The gigantic board with postcards from fans, colleagues, or villains I had caught and who thanked me for it; photos I had taken (a selfie from the top of the Everest, another from the Niagara falls, fifty feet or so above them); letters that still made me cry every time I read them. The map, in pink and blues, with the pins in every location The Line had dealt with a threat to the world. My trophies. I only realized I was clutching a stuffed animal to my chest when my vision started to water. I dug the heels of my hands into my eyes, got to my feet, undressed, and stepped into the shower, turning the water so hot somebody else would have started screaming. I didn’t. Not me.

*

"Hey, Mani."

"Manifold," he said, without turning to look at me.

"Sorry."

"Accepted. Sit on the armchair," he said, still without looking at me. Behind his glasses, his eyes were dancing trying to take in the feeds from his four screens, his trademark earbuds screwed beneath his lanky hair. I folded the golden cape I had picked, sat, and waited until he managed to unglue himself from the information pouring into him. He rose, and pushed his own armchair to my side, reading two pages of an unmarked book in as many seconds. His afterimages trailed behind him, blueish.

[Cont.]

>>37266876
I felt my heart shrinking. Both our phones buzzed a second before the soft sound of the alarm started echoing throughout the building. Unidentified threat, class 2 minimum.

We can throw our life away saving people after Manifold tells us that it can't be saved.

We've taken three days for ourself, out of our entire life as a super hero, they may also be the last three we do so.

The boy swiped his hair and reached for his phone. My hand was on his arm before he pulled it out. He would wrench his arm out of its socket before escaping my grip. He had seen it happen.

"Run the tests. There’s time."

"Sekhmet," he said softly. "Class 2 threat."

"Manifold," I replied, with the same tone. "Run the damn tests."

He looked at me, and for once he acted like his age. The afterimages grew frantic, hinting at things that would never be. Behind his glasses, his eyes were big, the eyelashes too long. Maybe he remembered why Logos and I were atop the list that asshole whistleblowed, Snow-something. The potential class 1 threats list. He breathed in, and the blue flickers around him quieted.

"Fine. You’ll have to let me go," he said, his voice firmly in the bass pitch of his future adulthood.

I let his hand go, and he fetched a helmet of some sort before stopping in front of me, not moving. I cocked one eyebrow.

"Sekhmet. Halo."

I had learned to control my body’s unvoluntary reactions, but my powers were still something else. I toned down my field, and let him put the thing on my head. He strapped my head, compressing my cheeks, and quickly put space behind us by going back to his workstation. I felt something buzzing all around me, and he glanced at me.

"Class 2 threat. Kaiju in the Indian Ocean going east towards Australia," he said, then shut up, not meeting my gaze.

Both our phones were buzzing insistently. Ten minutes in, the door opened, and Warlord stood at the threshold, the jaw shut tight, eyes like daggers, staring at me.

The guy is probably angry because he's a former bad guy.

What these guys said

This is a pretty cool concept, but I see /tg/ has already gotten its hands all over it.

Sad but true

I don't like how the vote went either, but come on it's not like it can't be an interesting story.

Thouhg, I would argue that people on /tg/ tends to vote altruistic when the tone is light, and a good deal more self-serving when the tone is dark.

>>37269995
I dunno. Being a good guy was a /tg/-quest staple before, but I don't really feels that applies all that much anymore

"Koffi Thérèse Akissi, I believe you have a statement for the court?"
"Yes, your Honor," he said, the rumble of his voice washing over the premises, with some minute help from the spread of speakers around. His accent mingled Oxford English and the vowels of Akan dialects.
"I’ll allow it. Best be brief."
"Thank you, your Honor," he said, then paused to straighten and look around him, slowly. "I have killed men. Tortured some. The criminals, the drug pushers, the corrupt. I also created a safe haven for families, for women and for children. I do not aim to be as heartless as I had to be, but to be as kind as I was. Thank you for allowing me this opportunity."
The crowd stood in silence, then exploded in shouts and slurs and congratulations. Warlord sat back and kept his stare in front of him, impassive.

"Sorry for the delay. Brief me."

I could feel the anger boiling in Warlord. He shoot a glance at Manifold, mean enough it would’ve started a fight in any bar around the world. The boy just shook his head, eyes still on his screens. He hadn’t even looked at the man. Warlord looked back at me, his everything bulging in the black bodysuit he wore beneath his Ganima armors, as he called them.

"Suit yourself. An unidentified creature emerged from the Diamantina Trench and is roughly heading towards Perth, eastwards. Class 2, black body on every spectrum, some electromagnetic capabilities. ETA to the safe zone is two hours."

[Cont.]

>>37270052
I frowned. I would need to push it to make it. Warlord crossed his arms and continued.

"The Security Council cleared The Line for an intervention. You and Logos are cleared. So am I, but not with the Shift Suit," he said with a frown, and when he saw I wasn’t moving, he added: "Two millions people live in Perth. Add another for the whole safe zone figures."

He jabbed a finger at me. "So why the shitting fuck aren’t you moving?"

I was about to chastize him for his colourful language when my phone made a sound. It wasn’t supposed to do that. I looked down and there was a message from an unknown number, which was even stranger.

<Nobody can intercept this message. The doctor was wrong—> I could feel my heart fluttering <—you have weeks, not months. Nothing I can do either. You know what the other solution entails.>

Yeah.

I looked up towards Manifold and saw he had turned my way. He nodded, confirming it was him, and went back to his computer. I started to heave, but tore the helmet off of my head instead, before throwing it against a wall. Warlord’s eyebrow went up as bits and pieces of metal and plastic hit him. The fucker hadn’t even blinked.

"Fine. Let’s go kill something."

Annnnnnd that's it for tonight. I don't think I could do a Kaiju fight any justice in one hour or so, so yeah, I'll push it back for the next thread.

Thank you all for playing, reading and well, being there. Next thread tentatively this Sunday.

Well, I vote we leave something for the families of the victims of the serial killer we failed to stop last time.

The rest should go to various charities

>>37270111
Thanks for running, nice to see you back in the saddle

>>37270074
>You know what the other solution entails.>
Uhh no we don't?

>>37270111
Thanks for the thread, hopefully we'll figure out next thread what it is we apparently know about the other solution or whether or not we will be railroaded into dying pathetically.

>>37270111
Thanks for running, Alt.

>>37270111
thanks for running bby

>>37270140
fuck that, we're already a superhero, and we're gonna be spending a very unhealthy amount of time superheroing up until our death, to the point that it might not even be the tumor that kills us.
let's give some to our relatives

>>37270111
Interesting premise thanks for running.

>>37270209
>Uhh no we don't?
Uhhh, yes you do. Kiahahahaha.

>>37270176
Yeah, well, we'll see if I make it to the fourth thread.

...

Is that a flag?

>>37270209
can we please stop overusing the term railroad so much? It doesn't even mean anything anymore, I can't even get mad when it actually happens.

We robot nao? There has to be some kind of science that can save us.

>>37270218
>up until our death
Fuck that bullshit, we are curing ourselves, the planet demands it.

And apparently from what Manifold said in >>37270074
>You know what the other solution entails.
There is some kind of solution, though no idea what it is.

>>37270245
>Uhhh, yes you do. Kiahahahaha.
?

We don't really if we're playing the MC and don't know what they know.

>>37270249
If there is nothing we can do to stop/change/fix it, then its railroading.

>>37270256
>There has to be some kind of science that can save us.
And we shall find what it is and in time too, but right after we kill this Kaiju and then take some personal vacation time.

>>37270074
>you have weeks, not months
Well that was a kick in the balls.

>Nothing I can do either
Shit.

>You know what the other solution entails
Uhhh?

>>37270276
Ok, I guess since every story has unchangeable elements, railroading is in everything. I can hardly object to it then.

>>37270314
This is a cliffhanger. Not gonna reveal everything right from the beginning, now, am I?

Thanks for the thread!
