A shaky hand tried to dial the police, only to drop the phone on the floor as she got pulled back with a hand on her mouth, and a gun pointed at her temple.
"Call those pests, and you won't live to see the sun tomorrow", Devil Rider whispered, a tone deeper and rougher than usual, which indicated he was really frustrated this time.
The panicked guard shook her head frantically, letting a sigh pass his lips.
"Good girl", he said before knocking her out.
"So, that's everyone?", Blood Rose came up to him and swung a arm around his shoulder. He looked back at her from the side before rolling his eyes. "Shut up"
"Hey! I helped with the fight too you know. Don't put the blame on me"
"I didn't say anything"
"But I can sense it", she narrowed her eyes.
"Whatever", he replied lazily as he walked towards a specific part of the museum to see what he wanted in the far middle display, light shining on it. It was a beautiful painting, but he wasn't hear to gawk over its beauty.
"Hey"
"What?", he asked sternly, yet didn't get a reply instantly as Blood Rose went past him. Raising an eyebrow looking at her back, she continue fiddling with the lights until there was no spotlight on the painting anymore.
"What did you just do?"
"The lights, it's dangerously hotter than other lights and can most possibly burn your hand, maybe even melt it", she took the painting effortlessly. "This has a protective case over it, meaning the lights won't damage it.
She extended the painting towards him, and he looked at her warily before trying to take it but only ended up grasping the air.
"Pft!", she stifled a laugh. "Did you really think I'll give you this bad boy?", she looked fondly at the painting. "Worth 500 million...well if I auctioned it off I can get twice, maybe even thrice the price right?"

"You mean if I auctioned it off, not you", he crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes, her behavior ticking him off.
"Oh come on, don't be so selfish"
"Well sorry, I guess you haven't noticed but I literally give no fucks"
"Mhm, feisty. I like that", she wiggled her eyebrows suggestively. "Okay then, I'll give you the painting. But!"
Devil Rider let out a groan, and wondered if he should plot to kill her. After all, killing a criminal would lessen his crimes. "What now?"
"We have to work as accomplices from now on"
He deadpanned. "Are you fucking serious?"
"It's not forever, just until you can give me back how much you sold this painting for!", Blood Rose leaned on the wall with the painting in her hands.
"I'm not giving you anything"
"So we'll have to work together forever then~"
"You're so annoying"
"I know, pretty boy", she winked.
"So, what's it gonna be?"
Chenle hates this. He hates this. He clearly said he doesn't want to work together last night but now this bitch is trying to bribe her. He probably should just give up the painting, it's not like he doesn't have the money anyways.
But something about her intrigues him, and he doesn't know if that's a good or a bad thing. It's most probably bad, but Blood Rose has this kind of sparkle in her eyes. It's mysterious, playful and just overall hynoptizing. He's not admitting it, but secretly he knows the truth.
After what feels like forever, he finally gave his answer.
"Fine"

Shift (Ben 10+DCU Fanfiction)
Omnitrix+ DCU, what's not to like? The main character will not be Ben Tennyson, rather someone from our world who gains the Omnitrix Hello! This fanfiction Shift is what I wanted to do for an homage to what I thought were underrated pieces of media, Ben 10 and some DCU characters. However, I would be remiss if I didn’t add context to two of the major works that inspired Shift, Dial, and A Practical Guide to Evil. Dial is another ben 10 fanfiction, however that story takes place in the MCU, and with an adult that is already a grown-up at the beginning of the story. Dial, by my own accounts, is more superficially Like shift, even though the Omnitrix is a central device in both. My protagonist starts out around 18 years old, so is less serious and can build relationships with some of the junior justice league members, and then later on in the story meet the Justice League officially. The tone will be more light-hearted at the beginning of the story as teenagers are known to use sarcasm and jokes at each other’s expense. Furthermore, in Dial, the protagonist has a well-developed knowledge of the MCU which he uses to have knowledge on events and characters, that the character in Shift will not have. While the MC will have some knowledge of people's abilities, lesser-known characters and people's real identities will be not included as much, but the MC of Shift will have some knowledge. APGTE's influence is deeper than Dials'. The epigraphs at the beginning of every chapter are an example of that, a place for light-hearted jokes and worldbuilding that's not pure exposition, but I also want to incorporate narrative stories to Shift (heroes win more than lose, providence, etc) on a lighthearted scale. While the heroes of Shift will have to work to win against villains, the MC of Shift will be allowed limited precognition, through narratives tropes and archetypes as a trade-off of less knowledge of the DCU. For example, a villain a hero faces might monologue, but the MC will not instinctively know how to counter every villain they encounter. I also wanted to bring in more realism than usual superhero stories, ie: the MC cannot just walk and have a meeting with Batman or Superman, he would have to “work his way up” in terms of credibility and whatnot. The Aliens that show up in Shift I tried to make different than the ones in Dial, just to share the love for lesser-known characters. And to make it fairer for the villains of the DCU, the main character will not wantonly use if gain at all an Alien X or a ben 10 form of Kryptonians, just so the characters have to work a little bit for victory. I urge anyone reading to consider checking out both APGTE and Dial as they are both amazing works, and I hope you enjoy them. The beginning of how the MC enters the DCU will not be as important as him actually existing in that universe, so that is why a ton of time is not spent on that part of the story. Chapters will be around 2.5 thousand words and come out around every weekday.

Theodran [A Slice of Life, Progression Fantasy]
Release schedule: Thursday and Sunday at 12:00am CST. The world of Uneira is a desolate wasteland full of horrors and danger behind every rock, every bush, and every scraggly tree. Except for inside the Chalices, humanities frontiers and city states that have been protected by colossal white shimmering walls for generations. Only the most exceptional people brave the Unholy Wastes. But, inside of the Aetheline Chalice in its capital of Aethel, rank and status is determined by talent, skill, and archetype, but those that are extraordinary compete for prestige in the Pageship Games, where they’ll climb up the ranks to stardom or earn the right to carve a name for themselves in the Unholy Wastes after winning. *Magic is split up between Talents, Skills and Archetypes. It's my approach with a System like story without the system or other front-end applications of one. It's going to start as a bit of a slowburn coming of age, but that's really only for the first book. **There are three POV characters: Theodran, Modran, and Alanna.
