《Outlander》Chapter 18

"I can carry you all the way there, bunny." Tony said, "I can teleport both of us there. Besides, I want to have a grand entrance." I countered, hearing him chuckle.
"Last chance for you to back out." He said, raising my eyebrow and placing a hand on my hip, "Mr. Stark, I already stated that I would like to help and you gave me your approval. I don't need your approval anyway, but still, I won't change my mind." I answered as Tony heaved a sigh.
"Okay, see you there." He said and fled, "Not before I do." I muttered and watched Tony leave.
Staring at my reflection, seeing my all-black outfit making my hair more noticeable, "So gothic." I commented and laughed.
Looking down at my thigh, checking the dagger one more time, nodding my head and exhaling a breath, "Let's stop the madness of this big eggplant." I mumbled, "Bunny, are you okay?" Tony asked through the earpiece, flinching and startled at his voice.
"Jesus H. Roosevelt Christ. You scared the hell out of me, Tony." I said, hearing him chuckle at the other line, "Scaredy bunny." He teased, rolling my eyes as I exhaled another breath.
"Almost there, bunny. Where are you?" He asked.
"Will be there in a minute." I responded, "You should have let me carry you." He whined as I giggled at him.
"Don't worry, Tonton. You will see my beautiful face there." I said, "I better be. Safe and sound." He replied as I smirked and visualized the entrance of the museum.
☘
Arriving at the museum as I wobble a little bit, placing my hands on the statue and steadying myself, breathless. Exhaling a sigh as I stand up, suddenly AC/DC's 'Shoot to Thrill' overdrives to the Quinjets speakers, echoing throughout the area.
Chuckling and shaking my head as Tony being an extra, he is. Feeling an itch on three of my soulmarks, seeing both Steve and Loki look up at the sky with their hands holding their left forearm.
"You're one of my soulmates?" Steve ask Loki, disbelief in his voice. Tony flies over in his Iron Man suit and blasts Loki right back to the ground. Tony touches down. He stands up and pulls out every piece of weaponry the suit has.
"Make your move, Reindeer Games." Tony said. Gasping as I teleported towards them.
So much for having a grand entrance.
"That's enough." I stated as Steve and Loki looked at me with wide eyes, "Bunny, you're late." Tony said and walked towards me.
"They're also your soulmates, Tony." I said, "Unfortunately." He commented as I sighed and looked at Steve and Loki.

Smiling and nodding at Steve, "Captain." I greeted as he continued to stare at me, averting my eyes and glancing at Loki. I slowly approached him, Tony held my arm as I looked at him and smiled.
"We're soulmates. It's okay, he won't hurt me." I said and Tony let go of me, looking back at Loki as his eyes fixated on me.
Loki puts up his hands and surrenders. His armour materializes away. "Good move." Tony said, clicking my tongue in disapproval and gave Tony a glare.
Looking back at Loki as I approached him, "Loki." I mumbled as our eyes met, "I don't need a soulmate." He said, venomously.
My heart automatically aches at what he said, looking back at me seeing his eyes soften, he slowly extended his hand, Steve and Tony quickly moved to put cuffs on his hands.
"Bunny, are you okay?" Tony asked as Steve approached me, "Ma'am. I'm Steve Rogers." he introduced, "I'm Rivia Jones." I replied, glancing back at Loki as he quickly averted his eyes.
"Mr. Stark." Steve greeted, "Captain." Tony replied, seconds later, the Quinjet landed nearby, a woman with red shoulder length hair runs down.
"ангел" She said, walked straight towards me and engulfed me in a hug, "Red, did you miss me?" Tony asked, breaking our hug as Natasha smirked and hugged Tony.
☘
Standing in between Tony and Steve while Natasha and another agent flies the Quinjet.
She looks so cool.
Looking at Steve as he placed a hand on my lower back, our eyes met and he smiled at me. Seeing his eyes up close, a little bit of tainted green in otherwise perfect blue eyes.
With Loki tied up and cuffed to his seat, Tony and Steve watch from a distance, whispering.
"I don't like it." Steve stated, "What? Rock of Ages giving up so easily?" Tony asked as I continued to listen to them, "I don't remember it being ever that easy. This guy packs a wallop." Steve replied.
"Still, you are pretty spry, for an older fellow. What's your thing? Pilates?" Tony asked as I subtly rolled my eyes, "What?" Steve asked, confusion in his voice.
"It's like calisthenics. You might have missed a couple things, you know, during your time as a Capsicle." Tony responded as I silently chuckled.
"Fury didn't tell me he was calling you in." Steve said, looking at Tony with intensity as my eyes found Loki, shrugging my shoulders seeing him grin at me.
"Yeah, there's a lot of things Fury doesn't tell you." Tony replied. Thunder and lightning nearly hit the jet, making it shake violently.

Steve and Tony held both my arms, "Are you okay?" four of my soulmates asked in unison, chuckling at them and nodding my head.
"Be careful, bunny." Tony said and pulled me closer to him. Thunder rumbles overhead. Loki stares out the window intently. "What's the matter? Scared of a little lightning?" Steve asked as Loki looked at him.
"I'm not overly fond of what follows." Loki replied as Tony tightened his hold.
As the jet shakes violently, a blinding light hits the jet. Steve and Tony protectively held both my arms, feeling an itch on my soulmark.
Natasha struggles to control the jet as Tony puts on his helmet. He opened the ramp and Thor appeared, "Another soulmate." Tony commented as Thor looked at him, "I will come back later to personally introduce myself. But I have to settle something with Loki." Thor said as our eyes met.
Thor grabs Loki by the throat and flies out. Steve and Tony are left dumbstruck.
"And now there's that guy. Our soulmate." He said, "Another Asgardian?" Nat asked as I nodded my head and sat where Loki was previously sitting.
"Think the guy's friendly?" Steve asked, "He is." I mumbled, "Doesn't matter. If he frees Loki or kills him, the Tesseract's lost." Tony replied.
"Stark, we need a plan of attack!" Steve stated, "I have a plan. Attack." Tony replied, rolling my eyes, "Of course, you do." I muttered, Tony then turned towards me, "Now, stay here and be a good girl." He said and patted my head.
Smiling at him and nodding my head, Tony jumps out of the jet and chases after Thor. Steve heaved a sigh, he looked at me and placed a quick kiss on my forehead.
"We will be right back. Stay here." He said and grabbed a parachute to follow Tony. "I'd sit this one out, Cap." Natasha said, "I don't see how I can." Steve replied, "These guys come from legends, they're basically gods." Nat responded.
"There's only one God, doll. And I'm pretty sure he doesn't dress like that." Steve said and jumped out of the jet.
Nat looked at me and raised her eyebrow, "Don't ever think about it." She warned as I approached her, "I will be okay. I just have to talk to Loki." I replied, "He's dangerous." Nat responded, "He's our soulmate. I won't give up on him. Besides, he won't hurt me." I insisted as Nat looked at me hesitatingly.
"I will come back safe and sound. I promise." I said, "You have your earpiece with you?" She asked as I nodded my head. Nat grabbed my head and kissed my lips, my eyes widened as she let go of me and placed another peck on my lips.
"You better come back to us." She said as I nodded my head and laughed, "Do you need a parachute?" She asked as I shook my head, "I can teleport, ginger." I replied as Nat smirked.
Walking towards the ramp, looking back at Nat, winking and saluting at her as she chuckles and nodded her head. Jumping out of the jet as the cold wind immediately sips through my skin.
I should have grabbed a parachute or a blanket.
Closing my eyes, visualizing the mountain where Thor throws Loki. Exhaling a sigh as I opened my eyes, squealing as I almost faced the ground face first.
Feeling an arm securely hold my waist, opening my right eye, hearing Loki laughing at me, clearing my throat and standing up, dusting an imaginary dirt off my suit.
"Quite a daredevil." He commented, feeling a rush of heat to my neck, hearing a commotion and crash into the forest. Loki and I looked down, seeing Tony and Thor fighting.
"Shouldn't you be down there and stop them?" Loki asked as I looked at him, "Steve will." I simply answered. "I'm here to talk to you." I added as he raised his eyebrow and grinned.
Loki slowly approached me and held my waist, pulling me closer to him, "I can't seem to read your mind, darling." He whispered as I shivered.
As our eyes met and as I expected, what was supposed to be green was blue. Smiling at him as I extended my hand, his eyebrows furrowed, resting my hand on his face, he automatically leans to my touch.
"Let us help you, Loki." I said and used my memory magic. Feeling his hold tightened and hearing him grunt. "It'll be okay. Trust me." I added and dive straight right inside his mind.
Several minutes pass, gasping and opening my eyes, feeling myself dizzy from freeing Loki from the control of the scepter. Loki held my face as our eyes met, smiling seeing his eyes turned into green.
"My love." He said, worriedly and hugged me, "Thank God you're free from the scepter." I said, groggily.
"What did you do to her?" Tony asked as I looked at the three of them, "It's okay. He's free. He won't hurt us." I replied as I lose my consciousness.

Binary of Life and Death
Monsters, gold, chaos, glory, adventure, what more could attract two of the greatest players of all time to Sugarea, the most popular MMORPG of its time. But everyone makes errors, and unfortunate for these two brilliant players, they have made the grave mistake of not actually sleeping like normal humans and missed out on the very moment the new Dark Legion update would take effect. Or did they? They wake in what seems familiar yet not, but they soon realize their predicament. They are inside their game avatar's bodies! A half-Demon and a Dragonoid are now struggling with more than just power, these two men have to find their new purpose and calling in a completely different world. Will they concur it like ordinary land or will they enlighten the planet into equality? Do figures pull strings in the dark or is everything open to the public eye? Nothing is certain except the unknown, and nothing is ever as it seems... This is an Isekai story, as such, some parts may sound either cliché or similar to others, but I assure you, I tried to prevent that. To make it known, I took quite a lot of inspiration from the light novel/anime Overlord, but that doesn't mean it's a direct rip-off of it. You'll find there to be quite the amount of differences. Just a little heads up as well, you should expect irregular uploads, as it takes me a long time to write each chapter. I am currently trying for once every other week on Sundays around 10:00 A.M. Chapters are usually 7k words and up, with the longest (chapter 3) being 10.3k words. So, if you like to sit down and read a long chapter every two weeks at 10:00 A.M. EST on Sundays, then you can waste your time here! Small disclaimer: Profanity is far and few between, and mostly used by side characters, rarely the main character. When something with gore happens, I describe to the best of my ability, which will only get better the longer I write this... :) Small cuts between perspectives happen, and can hide what some characters do, which will be revealed in future chapters, I'm not that lazy... all the time... There are some parts that are long blocks of text, most, if not all, of them, are characters talking, but I try not to info dump. I know one of the tags says "Psychological", and for the most part, it is, but it's not as prominent as other stories, instead, it's more hidden and scattered, but I did try to make the pieces I did reveal all fit together. Cover art is bound to be changed when I have a good picture to use, so the Yin-Yang is a placeholder for now unless yall wanna gimme something to use *wink wink nudge nudge*. So yeah, please give it a try, as I have nothing better to do with my life, and I am banking solely off of a career in literature and am hoping that I can create a story that can actually be called something more than a child's imagination running wild. The eventual and inevitable end to the story won't be for a long while, at least till chapter 40 or so. I have thought long and hard about the message and themes at play, so I hope you, the reader (who has some amazing hair btw), can enjoy and partake on this adventure with me into my dark empty pit of an imagination.

Apex Immortal: a LitRPG system rampage
"Across the multiverse where the contest for power is the only constant, only a handful have succeeded in reaching the ultimate heights of ascendency and gained the title Apex Immortal. Dominus is one of them, unsurpassed in overwhelming violence, feared across universes. Now, memories locked and stranded far away from everything he’d built, Dominus will face enemies that will challenge even his powers and discover that change is more difficult than destruction." I’ve been writing fiction on and off for the last decade and I’ve always wondered how a peak immortal (or an OP superhero) would single handedly conquer a world that mirrors our own in all of its complexity. As a politics nerd, this is my attempt at answering that question using Machiavelli’s “The Prince” as the primary playbook. The “monsters” are entire political systems with entrenched culture. Expect many versions of real world political systems (and cultures) to be on the hit list. The MC has to successfully institute regime and cultural change without engaging in wholesale genocide and causing the state to fail. Expect things to go wrong pretty quickly as escalating and cascading political and economic effects rapidly go out of control. Methods deployed are not for the faint hearted.
