Chapter Forty-Six
Lisa didn’t want to look. She really, really didn’t want to look. But Brian was sitting right next to her and had his eyes fixed on the screen of her laptop. Worse, Brian’s sister was also in the room, and also looking at the screen, though the expression she was wearing was entirely different from Brian’s.
On the ‘shit-eating to wanting to die’ scale, Aisha’s smug smile was definitely on the level of smug that even Lisa could admit was impressive.
It probably had something to do with her figuring out Brian’s secret, or her breaking into the loft, or the team being so beaten that at this point even her behaviour (all out of some misguided concern for her brother post-beating, of course) didn’t irritate them enough to kick her out.
“Well, here goes,” Lisa said.

Breaking news!
At approximately 11:45 this morning (the 16th of February, 2011), a group of unknown parahumans marched into Brockton Bay Central. PHO user BrightFlare posted cellphone footage of the group here: LINK.
At approximately 11:50, after the group of young superheroines was repeatedly questioned by on-site security (and after they answered a few questions from the customers) the villainous group known as the Undersiders (ParaWiki: LINK) moved into the bank from the back and announced their arrival by taking all of the clients hostage.

The as of yet unnamed group of young parahumans confronted the Undersiders after which the villains tried to run. They failed and were apprehended by the young superheroines.
The villains were escorted out of the building where a confrontation with the Wards occurred. We believe that the second confrontation should be part of its own article which you can find HERE.
EDIT:
A huge thank you to users Bizarre and GreatestOm for videos from different perspectives. LINK1 LINK2.
EDIT2:
By popular demand we have a roster of the young capes with information displayed during the foiled robbery and later in the fight against the Wards. Their names were provided from questions by the customers before the robbery began.
Big Sister: The nominal leader of the group.
Oldest-appearing member. Teenager. Wears an ill-fitting business suit with a domino mask. Powers unknown.
Crochet:
Young. Possibly preteen. Wears a Victorian style dress with many ribbons. Has two large plushies that obey her commands. Powers similar to Parian also of Brockton Bay.
Cheshire:
Young. Possibly preteen. Has a dark cat onesie. Has cat ears (possible case 53?) and a tail. Power unknown. Carries a dart blower.
Remedy:
Young. Possibly preteen. White robe-like outfit, similar to Panacea from New Wave. Claims to be a biostriker. Can turn organic masses into xenomorphs (?).
Tattletail:
Young. Possibly preteen. Case 53 with a ‘Sherlock’ style trench coat and fedora. Brown skirt and sweater. Claims to be psychic. Claim refuted by Big Sister. Possibly a Thinker.
Pop (Poppu?):
Young. Possibly preteen. Obvious Asian heritage. Wears a Kimono (EDIT: Yukata?) and carries a short sword/knife. Can teleport and clone herself. Bears some resemblance to Oni Lee’s power.

Their names aren’t really Tits, Goo, Regret and B-word. Right? Someone please tell me there’s not a group of joke villains in the Bay. Please? No one wants Mouse Protector to visit. Literally no one.

I finished updating the Undersider’s Parawiki articles with the villain’s known names. Is Hellhound’s new name B-Word or actually Bitch?

OMG! They have a fox-girl detective loli! Brockton Bay is the greatest place.
TinMother: Please don’t use that kind of language to refer to a real life person. Have some free infraction points.

Is it true that younger capes are stronger? Because damn. Also, this gives me so many fanfic ideas! Can you imagine the sort of banter that goes on in a team with someone called Regret and Tits? Wow.

You have got to be kidding me. Pun not intended.
What kind of idiot lets their child out to go fight a group of villains like that? Do they have any idea how likely it is that their kid will get hurt? The Wards and Youth Guard exist for a reason!
EDIT: Having seen the confrontation with the Wards... I’m not sure how I feel about any of this.

Aww, man, I used to be an undersiders fan, but, well, Tits. Yikes. Way to spit in the face of all the hard work feminist capes have put into making the parahuman world one with gender equality, you bitch.

“Goo,” Aisha said as she turned to her brother. Brian buried his face in his hands. “Your name is fucking Goo?!”
“It’s not Goo, it’s Grue,” Brian defended himself.
Aisha snorted. “Not anymore it isn’t. Goo. Hey, hey Goo, you got beat by some kids. Tits, play the video, I wanna see this in HD.”
Lisa sighed, but pressed play. She had lived through the events playing out on screen, but seeing it all in its 120p shaky cam glory had her wanting to die all over again. “At least we got away?” she said.
“If they had delivered us to the PRT we could have made a statement about the names,” Brian said.
“Not that it would do anything,” Aisha said. She paused, another grin sprouting across her features. “Goo.”
Lisa sobbed. “We could rebrand?” she squeaked even as her power told her of all the ways that wouldn’t work. She just knew the rule 34 stuff about her would be horrible from now on. So, so horrible.

A great war raged between cultivators a hundred thousand years ago. Immortals fell by the tens of thousands, the path of cultivation itself was severed, and after the dust settled, tombs forested the world.
8 195Until Forever (ROYAL RIDERS SERIES BOOK #1)
Vince Hunter. The rich, famous, and world-known hockey player and my asshole of a boss. People see his charming smiles and game moves on the ice. I see his tantrums and irresponsibility. What I never imagined happening between us was a drunken one-night stand. And even worse? Getting fired because of it. But now, six miserable months later, he's back to ruin my life and he's at it again except this time he needs me to play the picture-perfect girlfriend. As it turns out, our scandal left his reputation more damaged than mine and if he can't redeem it, he can kiss his spot on the team goodbye. The worst part of it all?I'm stuck with him, bound by contract, until... forever?...ALL RIGHTS RESERVEDTRIGGER WARNING: Mentions of parental abuse
8 199Gods of Arkanoth
The hunter has been betrayed, left alone in the streets of a lugubrious district. Only one goal appears in his eyes: to avenge himself. In his quest to avenge himself, he'll encounter an enigmatic scientist who seems to hide his true nature, a savior pretending to be a God, and the terrible truth of those words, bringing him against something he'd never thought he'd have to affront. This is the odyssey of the hunter, in a quest to put a long overdue end to a war between two worlds. // What to expect:The beginning will surely be intriguing, most of what's happeing won't be directly explained, although there will be some hints about their true roles, but do not worry about some subjects never leaving that misty fog that is unanswered questions! The novel is divided in two parts, the first focusing on uncovering the well-hidden secrets the city of Arkanoth hides, be it concerning its making or its inhabitants. As for the second part, it will be an expedition into the unknown, we could, in a way, say the true start of the journey our three heroes will undertake! I won't say anything more about the second part or else I might tell you an important detail without realizing... As for magic, because yes, there is magic! Although you might not see the shadow of a spell in the first chapters, it will appear in later chapters and will be one of the main subjects of volume 2. There are three heroes, yes, but they will not appear directly. While the first two protagonists appear in quite the beginning, the third will take his time, taking some stroll in the Districts of Arkanoth while we focus on the story of the hunter. But that does not lessen his importance in the story a bit, trust me. What about these three heroes, you say? Well, they all have their own issues, from their character to their torments, and as the story progresses they will have to come clean with their past (character development is to be expected) and will find their reason for fighting, braving all odds. I draw my inspiration from mythology, more precisely Aztec mythology. I want to stay true to a certain extent about it and all the relations between the gods and their role, however I will still change some things to my liking, so do not expect for all of the mythology to be respected to the letter. Finally! I have to say English is a foreign langage for me, so I might not choose the best words or straight-up miswrite something, if it bothers your experience, just tell me in the comments and I'll look into it! It is also my first time writing a book, so some parts might seem sloppy, but I hope I will be able to improve throughout this journey so as to give the most enjoyable reading experience to you. // Who might enjoy this story: Firstly, if you like deep lore and stories in which past plays a big role, you will like how everything unravels to show the hidden truths of the world. However if you do not appreciate not instantly understanding what's happening or who - or even what - this person might be, then you might not appreciate the story. There will be disturbing and gore descriptions, so if you're sensitive, don't like reading about someone being beheaded and such, you should probably pass this one. There is strong langage, although I won't abuse it, I won't be lying saying no insults will appear. Finally, the heroes will not always win, they will sometime lose battles, be it important ones or unimportant, and they will, most of the time, not come out unscathed from those. // Time Schedule : once every two sundays at 7:pm Ps : feel free to tell me if something is bad, or feel wrong with the book, it really helps me. I've written till' chapter 4 (in my mother tongue, so I'll still have to translate), however I'll make some minor and major changes, thus it will take some time to post them. Schedule will probably not change after releasing chapter 4, so don't worry, it won't take even longer to post a chapter than it already is. Enjoy the ride :)
