El!
El has been with the site for nearly two years now and has continued to prove her value. Currently, she is heading up our site event, Battle for Liberterram, on top of keeping up with her own personal plots.
CHARACTER
SPOTLIGHT
Peggy Carter!
Lux's posts are all wonderful to read. She has done a wonderful job of grasping the new universe and incorporating Peggy into it.
CHARACTER
SPOTLIGHT
Peter Parker!
It's good to see Spidey back on the site. Watching him deal with the universe shift in his own snarky way has been nothing short of entertaining.
THREAD

Eight O'Clock on the Dot!
El and Lux are making magic in this thread. Straight up fireworks, and the way they've played with drawing out the reveal is top class.

Tigershark was not a man of patience and explanations. In fact, Kayley had met the slightly improved version of him, where he didn’t fly off the handle quite as often. However, his limit to tolerate her behavior had reached it’s breaking point, especially since he was the one with more experience in fighting here. Clearly making him the superior choice for leadership.
So, that is what he decided to do whether or not Kayley liked it. They both knew he was stronger and faster than her, and at this point he wasn’t exactly the type to care if she got hit with a stray bullet or not. Tigershark grabbed her arm, and forcefully dragged the girl inside the building. Whether she kicked or screamed was not deterring him from this course of action.
Once they were inside, he let go. “Stay there.” He growled at her, search the rooms for anything useful. He did come across a closest of left behind clothes, and at least one pair of pants looked like they might fit. He knew how people tended to feel about nudity, and Kayley had stated it numerous times. He didn’t need to hear it again.
Finding nothing of real value in the back rooms, Tigershark came out to the foyer. “Zat’s za plan, idiot.” Tigershark stated, with a roll of his eyes, obviously responding to her earlier statement. “I know vhat I’m doink, so let me do my job, ja?” He said, not bothering to give her an explanation. Though apparently she needed to be walked through these sorts of steps. He sighed. “Stay away from windows, keep low to the ground and stay under cover.” He stated, pointing to the cabinets in a somewhat kitchen-y area behind them in the building.
Or whatever it was; it had cabinets and cupboards, and more importantly, it had cover. “See if zhere’s a knife or somthink. Zhey probably won’t be comink in here until they see me gone.” Tigershark explained calmly. He wasn’t telling her she was the bait; she’d kick up a storm and they’d be wasting time. He was going to have to go off, double back and hopefully have killed enough of them to not raise too much suspicion.
“Try to not die.” Once he was back, there was going to be only one area that the stragglers were going to head toward, and that was where Kayley was. “Also, zhey’re not gonna kill you on sight. You’re too valuable to zhem; why waste all zat money and effort if zhey’re just gonna murder you.” It was supposed to be comforting.
If they hadn’t already left the island anyway, which would amuse him greatly. Escaping in a boat, with him nearby? He might be generous and let them get a minute’s head start before wrecking them, if they pulled that stunt. He looked back over at Kayley. “Don’t do anythink stupid.” He added, before walking out the back way.
She’d stay put, right? If she didn’t, plan b.
Kayley Ryan our NPC friends can be doing whatever at this point in time, but TS will probably be able to take out a lot of them...
The thought of working together had been but a naïve idea on Kayley’s part, as Cuvier refused to take no for an answer and had forcefully pushed her out of the fray and into what seemed to be a kitchen. She tried struggling a bit, but the guy was freakishly powerful, nor was Kayley a powerlifter capable of combating the strength of the Atlantean.
’If I find a knife and we both make it out of this, I’ll be sure to stab you with it!‘ Kayley threatened in futility, mostly just angry at the guy simply sidelining her without her having a word in edgewise. ’Atlantean asshole!‘ she yelled loud enough for him to hear, before punting a plastic garbage bucket across the kitchen.
Rubbing her nose in frustration, Kayley resigned to her position and did what the guy had told her to… Find a knife, or anything that could function as a useful defensive weapon when the bad guys invariably realized that Cuvier had stashed her. They weren’t stupid, she wasn’t either, the only person that was the definition of a bag of bricks was the guy calling himself ‘Tigershark’. She even wondered if he was the example of Atlantis as a whole, or if they simply kicked the idiot out for being just that… a completely and total idiot.
Having located a knife that wouldn’t cut her as much as the person on the other end, she glanced around to find a place to wait out the storm. ’Screw them all, I’m not some goddamn frail needing to protected.‘ she told herself, mostly to big herself up and motivate her to do stupid things.
And that’s just what she was going to do, go out there and defend herself. Nobody was expecting it, so she would certainly have the element of surprise in the fight…
At least, that’s what she was pretty much certain of. Although part of her knew she was being a bigger idiot than her ‘protector’…

Tigershark was not sure why he was bothering; she’d better be worth it. Or give him something in return for putting up with her whining. Something he was going to enjoy not hearing while he took out the remaining forces. “Viel Glück.” Tigershark stated in his native language. She sure wasn’t too bright, that was for sure. He currently ignored her tantrum; it just meant it was her fault that these men would be dying rather painful deaths today. At least it gave him time to think of a good retort.
All he could currently think about, though, was how much better of a person Darcy was in comparison to whatever her name was. Whiny Loudmouth, he decided. He quickly left the area, keeping an eye and ear out for the remaining four men. He at least thought it was four now, though there could be more. Keeping low to the ground, he listened, actually focused on the task for now.
He spied one, and took him out rather brutally; one wonders what a crushed skull looks like after all. They were slowly converging on the mansion, right where he’d wanted them to go so he could pick them off, when Kayley ran out into the open, drawing their attention. Apparently she didn’t get that she was supposed to be bait, and of course was starting to get tracked by the three guys with guns.
Well if she wanted to die so badly, why should he stop her? It was like trying to talk down people who were jumping; what was the point? They were just going to kill themselves later anyway, and it was doing the world a huge favor. He supposed he should go and do the right thing, but he was going to get something out of this, other than the satisfaction of winning and being right.
Those were just additional bonuses. Waiting to see where Kayley would lead them and definitely waiting until the last possible moment when she was cornered was his new plan. They might want to kill her, sure. But from what he’d initially understood was that they first found her useful. So capture might be the first thing.
Kayley Ryan He is doing exactly what he said in this; so Kayley can get her fight on if she wanted to.
