Chapter 13 start: Pinepapple, why not?
Sitting on a bar stool in ( Pink Gentlemen ) bar, Ben is smiling while in the background, people are causing mayhem and chaos because someone started a fight.
Getting out of his daydream, Ben looked around shocked. ’ Well, that’s everyday cowboy life for you. ’ he thought. Knowing that he couldn’t stay here anymore, he stops reminiscing about his old world media accurate portrayal of a cowboy.
’ Love cowboy, but violence ain’t do it for me ’ thought Ben, knowing his priority. Which is to stay as safe as he could.
’ Just know that problem gonna hit the fan soon, can practically feel it.. How about some danger sense for a change? ’ thought Ben, feeling that he had made an amazing idea to stay safe.
So being silent, he muttered in a raspy voice, ” Quick game, add me danger sense. Yes to all. ”
Ping: Affirmative.

Load…
Skill: Danger Sense. Exp:0/10
Comment: Hardly tickle the place that is going to be in a danger.
No homo: but I think you could use this as a free hand if you don't have any partner 
’ Now that’s better. ’ Ben thought.
However Ben did not get to celebrate for long since he could feel his new power in play, tingling his back.
Dodging the sledgehammer from some drunk cowboy hat guy, Ben run out of the store. Before he could breathe in peacefully, Ben found out he was being chased and by the guards no less.
’ Really now? What do I do? ’ Ben question no one in particular. Contemplating while running, Ben eyes flash and a light bulb flicker inside his pant. ’ Forgot that I make a lightbulb and put it in there, can be such a klutz sometime… Well, most of the time. ” Ben monologue.

Stretching his leg out as far as he could, a well deserve technique for running, Ben found a box that seem to reach a building window. With no hesitation he try to parkour.
Jumping onto the box, he glide to the window. His hand caught the narrow edge barely. Feeling proud but didn’t have the time to express it, Ben pull himself up, standing on the edge and stabilizing himself on the crack in the wall.
Knowing that his next stunt will tell of his success or maybe possible failure, he prays. Opening his eye, Ben found that the guard was catching up to him so without hesitation he jumps again and manages to collect himself up the building.
Rolling over, he inhales and exhales deeply not because of physical exhaustion but instead pure stress trying to leave the authority in the dust.
Without time to really spare and with little energy left in his thick brain, Ben call out another skill he feels was very needed at the moment.
Processing Order.
Order confirm
Congratulation! You found a unique skill!
{ AIR JUMP }
You're on a roll! + 1 Luck that might as well be useless and +1 Agility, no problem. UNIQUE: { AIR JUMP } Does what it says.
With this. Maybe that jump would be a bit easier to do. Possibly.
After getting his well-deserved rest, Ben use his hand as the support prop his leg and butt up. Wobbling a bit, he soon stabilizes.
’ Just great, now where am I? ’ thought Ben, looking around. Seeing that he was in some far corner of the third zone.
” How about… Actually Nah, the air fresh here and strolling around with an actual leg can’t hurt. I am getting a relaxing view also if theoretically, the guard would give me enough time to enjoy it. ” Ben said, getting down from the building onto the another side by using his newfound parkour skill.

Comment from above: Cut me some slack. I need some job vacation. Stop giving me the blue screen to do!! Heard the saying?
Another man joy is another man suffering.
The basic version of it, but yeah.
” Well well well, how about that? Don’t have to use a brain for once to get free stuff ” Ben smile while saying that.
Patting the dust out of his back and bottom, Ben did the best impression of walking normally into the market zone. A zone where he may enjoy some pineapple. If they even have one in a dessert that is. What am I talking about, they definitely, have one!
To be continued..

Post War Rules
Life on Torus Terminal is usually fast paced, but simple. A frontier Terminal has little room for easy living, but the great, circular station does boast shopping and culinary experiences from many Imperial races and cultures. Any star is, by its nature, extremely far from its neighbors. But laser highways, and the great shimmering sails of the light-rider spaceships make the trip into only about ten years. Still, the denizens of Torus Terminal eagerly await the day when the Anti-Euclidean Engine their station is built around finally comes online. Once that is done, they will have unfettered access to the entire Empire. Instantaneous travel and trade across hundreds of stars. Torus Terminal does boast one other oddity: a creature which calls itself Human. As he says, the last of his kind for now. He has made quite the life for himself on Torus Terminal, especially in the darker corners of the station. The elites of Torus Terminal praise his name, for once he took up arms, crime began to fall. What they did not realize was that was because he had claimed the seedy underbelly of Torus Terminal for himself and his own goals. The elites praise him as a paragon of law. The criminals fear him as a ruthlessly clever crime boss. Those closest to him, know him as the General. This story was originally posted on the Humanity Fuck Yeah subreddit, where it evolved from a simple play on a historical figure in a science fiction setting into a full blown space opera. I kind of took it as an opportunity to explore a setting I've had rolling around in my head for years. I also decided that it would be nice to have it in a place where I could more easily come back and edit it later, so I'm reposting it here. Here's a link to the original posting if you're interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/e9cwpl/post_war_rules/ If my genre and tagging is subpar, let me know. I'm still new to Royal Road and I'm open to help. Feel free to comment and make suggestions, or discuss. I love comments, and so long as we keep things civil I also love criticism.

His Trophy | Jerome Valeska
"Oh and Jim, Jim Gordon?" Jerome peered into the camera as if to yell out to an audience: "I have Rory here," he turned the camera towards Jim's daughter and revealed to the audience a girl that had been beaten and tormented, she was gaged and her eyes didn't look at the camera but above the lens; at Jerome who was holding the camera."Say hi to Daddy, doll face," he jeered from behind the camera. She looked down the lens and shook her head as if to tell Jim not to try. The camera went back to Jerome."She's a beauty isn't she, Jimbo," Jerome smirked into the camera, his laughter becoming harsh and wild: "and she's all mine, you try anything, and I mean anything, I kill her. She's my prisoner, my reward, and you're not taking her away from me Jimmy boy, on no, not this time" his words were spoken through waves of laughter.***Rory Gordan is the stepdaughter of Jim Gordon. Her mother moved a lot so Rory was born in Gotham City but raised in England and from the age of 10 she had been bouncing from one country to another with her mother. However, when she turned 17 she had grown tired of the constant change of moving and decided to move to America. It was when she was visiting her long term boyfriend when her life got flipped upside down, not only did she meet one of the craziest boys on the planet, but she discovered that she had a gift that would curse her forever. This story is a collection of scenes rather than a flowing plot, so its chronological but it skips scenes and jumps back and forth between different perspectives. The story is under editing, so it'll get more cohesive over time.••• I do not own any characters or plot lines from the tv show. However, all original characters like Rory do belong to me.Total Word Count [33,674]
