    Summary

    All Steve knows is that he was in an accident when he was ten that resulted in total amnesia--at least, that's what he's been told. In reality, Steve was one of the numbers, abandoned when Brenner deemed his powers too unstable to work with. With the help of the kids, El is able to unlock Steve's hidden abilities.

    Things are hard for Steve as he adapts to his new, constant powers. He struggles to overcome the phycological toll that all lies he's been told over the past nine years. He and the kids also struggle to figure out his powers, as they have a different, more destructive flavor than El's.

    Steve's parents make matters worse when they bring a figure from his past life back into his world. Will Steve play into their hands and become the weapon he was always meant to be? What friends will he make along the way? Will the buzzing ever stop?
    Read to find out :p

    **marked as complete because the story is done, but I might add a unimportant prequel one-shot later

    Summary

    Sleep had become Caelus’ newest problem—not because of nightmares, but their far more problematic opposite. The kind of vivid, sweat-drenched dreams that demanded emergency laundry duty in the morning.

    He wouldn’t normally complain—except it was every damn night, with crystal-clear recall, starring the same infuriatingly handsome man. His mental stability and circadian rhythm were at risk if this goes on any longer.

    He’d even swallowed his dignity and consulted Black Swan, but the next Trailblazer Expedition loomed with no solutions. Fine. He’d cope. Chronic insomnia already wrecked his sleep schedule, what were a few more graphic interruptions?

    But who could expect that the man from his dreams—the one who’d been thoroughly acquainted with him in countless ways—was standing right in front of him on this new planet. In the flesh.

    Certainly not Caelus, that's for sure.

    Summary

    “Are you sure you’ll be fine if you change between all of your abilities during combat?” he finds himself asking.

    His partner only shrugs, eyes distant and it only makes him worry more for what he might do. Jiyan knows that Rover’s reckless, that’s the embodiment of an unstoppable individual and a swordsman who can best anyone except–

    Except when Rover takes out his sword, it’s slower than before. Nevermind the vacant look in his usually bright eyes as if he’s remembering something.

    “I’ve done it before.” Rover simply answers as the hologram loads in front of them. “Be careful, general.”

    ---

    Post 2.2 in which Rover goes back to Jinzhou after everything for a break and things go sideways (literal).
