You’ll also get fliers for strip clubs shoved in your face, offers for tours of the strip hawked, bumped into, maybe have to deal with the occasional pickpocket if you’re outside… yeah, the Vegas Strip is nuts. If you walk out on the strip, you’ll see people guzzling all sorts of concoctions, wearing who knows what, gabbing about their winnings or that one slot machine or a bad beat or any other number of topics. In which case, you’re not missing anything, don’t come, you’ll hate it.īut for those of you who are missing out, let me tell you: there’s nothing quite like Las Vegas. Unless, of course, you are incredibly straight-laced, very religious, of unassailable morals, or incredibly introverted. If you’ve never been to Las Vegas, let me tell you, you’re missing out on something rather spectacular. Well, it was four days after I’d arrived on Earth-16…
You know? I should probably explain how I got here in the first place. That was my thought as I hung, upside-down, hogtied, in Shadowmoore, with a slightly peeved Giovanni Zatara staring at me with a very deadpan expression. Note to self, entry number one: no matter how powerful you are, if you think for even the slightest fraction of a second that getting inside was just a little bit easier than expected, prepare for the trap to spring. Yeah… turns out I didn’t think that plan all the way through. “So, young lady,” I heard the smooth voice of Giovanni Zatara say from my position, bound to a very comfy chintz armchair in his Vegas home, “would you like to explain exactly what you are doing here?” A quick internet search at the public library told me that that would have been a relatively horrible idea, so instead I went to Option E: find a superhero to whom your powers could be useful. Well, when I wound up in that situation? I quickly considered D, all of the above, since I was on a world that I wasn’t from, in a body that wasn’t mine, and had powers that probably shouldn’t belong to me. Sorry bunny!~Įver wonder what would happen if you woke up one day to find that you have superpowers, and that the world around you had changed so they were relatively commonplace? What would you do? Would you go out at night and find some punks to beat up? Would you attempt to use your newfound abilities to make a quick and less-than-legal buck? Would you report yourself to the authorities, and see if there was some governing body responsible for superhumans? She helped out a whole ton, and would probably have beta'd the next two if I hadn't gotten impatient and jumped the gun. P.S: Special thanks to Whiteeyes for beta-ing the first chapter. For those who knows FFXIV, there’s going to be a higher focus on the Disciples of Magic abilities vs. If you want exact power explanations, they’re going to be revealed in time.
After all, the Warriors of Light do have a perennial enemy, one that happens to be very good at subverting people for their own ends… On that note, if anybody can come up with deceased heroes/villains that would have a significant ‘cult’-like following, do mention those? Please? Thanks? So expect some… interference, if you would.
I don’t want to stick absolutely closely to the stations of Young Justice canon and just retread events with a new person involved in things, and would like to go outside the established timeline. Of course, where a Warrior of Light goes, there has to be some or other agent of darkness. And since I’m still on my FFXIV kick, let’s go with that. So far though, the ones I’ve seen have powers from sufficiently advanced alien tech, or piece of dead/dying alien space whale thingy in another dimension, so instead, let’s go with… magic. A/N: Well, after reading a few of these (A Subtle Knife, I Want to See You Smile, a good chunk of With This Ring, etc…) I felt like doing one of my own, and hopping on the bandwagon.
