Summary
Jaime Reyes struggles interacting with the little voice inside his head, who not only has partial control over his body but also only bothers to communicate internally. This takes “battling with his inner demon” to a whole new level and makes for some rather unique conversations. If only his teammates knew what sort of backseat driver he dealt with in and out of costume.
Or: It's hard to act like a regular hero when an artificial intelligence is fused to your spine and constantly wants to wipe out any and all threats, whether or not they are.

Summary
Even before becoming a superhero Nino was no stranger to protecting those around him. Since the birth of his baby brother Chris, he understood the importance of watching over those precious to him and keeping a steady vigilance over his family whether they needed his protection or not. Over time, it became less of a need and more of a want, longing to support those close to him as it spilled into his daily life.

Summary
At first, picking up the hedgehog had been a whim, some instinctive impulse to save a hapless creature from the outside realm. The city streets were no place to roam at night, let alone search in hope of food and shelter.
Collecting the over-eager animal was simple as it nosed at his pants with all too trusting eyes. And wasn’t that just another reason to scoop up this tiny thing who seemed so willing to go with any odd patron who walked by.
But arriving back at the hotel room was when Licht realized his first folly: he knew next to nothing about how to care for his latest hitchhiker.

Summary
In the days set after the not so end of the world, now henceforth dubbed as “The End...or Is It?,” the remainder of the once formidable Umbrella Academy decided to remain at their old haunt and try to mend the strenuous and blatantly fucked-up relationships patented by Daddy dearest. It wasn’t without complaint and the occasional stepping of toes (once even literally when moving luggage up the stairwell), but the six, err seven, siblings managed to co-exist without any major damage for the first several days. It wasn’t until the eighth day that something amiss occurred which didn’t include superpowers or cramming a multitude of ill-managed adults under one roof. Rather, it was Luther who noticed the food storage or lack thereof when exploring the pantry.

Summary
Molded by Sir Reginald Hargreeves, the Umbrella Academy is designed to be lethal and effective, utilizing their powers to eliminate threats and enemies alike. The carnage they leave is unlike any other and each is their own brand of terror. However, there is one that never lives up to the potential of their siblings, never manifests their powers for the thrill of the kill.
(Or: The members of the Umbrella Academy each leave behind a trail of bodies and destruction in their wake using their powers but for little number Four there is only heartache.)

Summary
“Have you ever heard of the Vollstreckers, Allura?”
Allura shakes her head. “I haven’t.”
“In Common they are called Scourgers,” he says. He’s watching her for a reaction. Allura is almost sad she has nothing to give him. She shakes her head again.
Caleb sighs. “I suppose that’s not surprising. They are… a uniquely imperial problem.”
After her conversation with Trent, Allura prepares to leave for Tal’Dorei, but not before she has one more conversation.

Summary
Essek cocked his head slightly. “Is the one you call Master Ikithon a good keeper?”
Caleb closed his eyes, his brow furrowing. Essek stroked his jaw lightly with his thumb.
“Is he?” He whispered, ever so softly.
“No,” the wizard choked out.
Essek took one final step closer, his body mere inches from Caleb. “I could take care of you.”

Summary
‘You recall the Resonant Echo spell that you learned? Some time ago, now?’
Caleb sits up a little straighter. ‘Of course. That is your spell?’
Essek nods, feeling – he isn’t sure. Peculiar. Vulnerable. Naked, even, like he’s back in the hold of that ship with his soul cracked open, like he’s torn off a layer of skin and handed it to Caleb along with this information.
(In which Caleb and Essek discuss two unique spells, shared between them.)
