FOUR
One Day Ago
Katie’s parents had taken care of Hank as she knew they would. They hugged him, got him dinner and made sure he his bed in the guestroom was made up. They told him they would be there for him until the details were worked out where he would stay.
Katie was staring at the ceiling in her bedroom. She was trying to come to grips with what had just happened. Had she really become invulnerable? It sounded incredible but in a world where heroes like Johnny Bubblegum was running around the streets at superspeed, Godling flew through the air and Octo Boy was slinging around the city with octopus arms anything was possible. She just never thought she’d get superpowers herself. Well, powers… Just one. And probably not one with a lot of use as a superhero. Okay, maybe she couldn’t get hurt. That would be no real use in a fight. Although she had to hand it to herself, she took care of the Red Raider’s henchmen pretty well. Not that she had any urge to become a superhero. She was busy enough with cheerleader practice and homework. Still, she couldn’t help but feel she should use her power to make a difference somehow.
There was a knock on the door.
“Yeah?” Katie said.
“It’s me, Hank. I can’t sleep.”
“Come in,” Katie said, drawing the covers over her My Little Pony nightgown.
Hank walked in, wearing her dad's old pajamas, being a size too big. “Thanks.”
“Sit down,” Katie said, tapping a spot on her bed. Hank sat down.
“I really can’t sleep. I keep wondering what will happen to me now that I’m an orphan. I have no family left. And I just keep seeing Red Raider’s mask staring at me. I’m scared. So scared.”

Katie hugged Hank. “I’m indestructible now. That means I can protect you. You’ll be okay. We’ll work it out.”
Hank cried. “You have been so good to me. Me, just a stupid geek kid.”
Katie wiped his tears with her fingers. “You’re a nice guy, Hank. You deserve a good and loyal friend.”
“Thank you… That makes me feel a bit better. But not as much as seeing Red Raider in jail.”
“I’m sure the cops will do their best to catch him.”
“The cops in this place don’t have too good a record of catching supervillains. If we didn’t have Johnny Bubblegum this city would be ruled by them. Red Raider has been around for years now. And every heist he pulls he gets more technology making him more and more invincible.”
“They’ll get him eventually. Hasn’t Godling shown us all that good always overcomes evil?”
“Tell that to my dad.”
Katie didn’t know what to say to that. And it was true that Johnny Bubblegum and Godling seemed so busy these days fighting alien invaders, huge monsters and world conquering tyrants their time to go up against the slightly more B-list villains seemed lacking. The cops lacked the time and resources as well.
“You have to stay positive. If you don’t, the villains will win.”
“Maybe. You are always so positive! How do you manage that?”
Katie shrugged, “I’m a cheerleader, right? It’s my job to stay positive and spread the positive cheer.”
Hank chuckled. “I guess. You’re great, Katie. I really feel a bit better. I’m going to try and sleep again. Good night.”
Katie kissed Hank goodnight on his forehead. He blushed and left the room. Katie thought about the positive impact she seemed to have had on Hank. Maybe aside from being invulnerable she had another superpower. The power of positivity and good cheer.

8 504Re: Pessimist
Ewan is a young man who is killed... in a forest fire. However, a stroke of luck was before him, as a magical Goddess declared that she wanted to apologise for starting the fire by the use of her own powers. So, she offered him the choice to reincarnate. Yet, what left her in shock was the fact that Ewan said one thing: "Oh, no thanks, I'm pretty happy with being dead." ~~~ I must point out, there will be some 18+ stuff going on in this! So, if you don't like swearing, intercourse or anything related to such nature... Well, this book isn't for you. :$~~~ Okay, after seeing my most recent poll XD... if you also have issues which the concept of incest, please stay away! ~~~ I'll mostly use this book to try and improve my writing(albeit weirdly) and try and experiment with a few ideas and plot points. If chapter releases seem to be far apart that either means I'm busy with something or I'm trying to work on a chapter without the points seeming too rubbish.
8 209The Wise Old Dragon
What happens when a boy, raised on old stories, meets a dragon who is dreaming of his younger days? I will tell you, they spend their time doing chores around the farm and running away to far off lakes. That is until the boy is no longer a boy and the dragon is, well, he is still an old dragon. More importantly, what happens when a young man and his wise old dragon lose their small farm tragically? When the young man’s grief is not met with loving words from his mother or stern words from his father. And when the fires of burning buildings drive the old dragon to remember times that should be forgotten. What will they do? Maybe they will run off into the mountains hiding from all that would do them harm. Or maybe, just maybe, they will enter a world that has not seen such a pairing in a very long time. Join our story as we try to have the patience required for old bones to move and young minds to learn as disaster and adventure appear hand in hand. Friends will be made as well as enemies, battles will be won and lost, and some legends will be proven to be true. A truth that should scare all of Elleton.

8 170Love Against the Karaoke Heavens
If Xi was looking for love—which he isn’t—the very last place he’d think to find it is in the chatroom of his variety stream. Still, it finds him anyway, in the form of a guy shameless enough to defy the heavens. Features chatroom flamewars, silly banter, hot smut and an overabundance of misused tildes, all in a lightly sketched futuristic setting. Inspired by the author’s deep love for danmei, kpop, and internet slang. All fluff, with any angst just a seasoning to highlight the merciless sweetness. No fat anxiety included.
