"ROARR!" Hulk shouted, and Tony woke up, drawing in a sharp breath.
"What the heck? What just happened? Please tell me nobody kissed me?" He sputtered.
"We won." Cassandra said.
"Alright. Hey. Alright. Good job, guys. Let's just not come in tomorrow. Let's just take a day. Have you ever tried shawarma? There's a shawarma joint about two blocks from here. I don't know what it is, but I wanna try it." Tony said.
"We're not finished yet," Thor said.
The standing six looked up at the sky to see Stark Tower, where Loki was hopefully still lying on the floor in pain.
"And then shawarma after."

Cassandra sat next to Clint and Natasha, who were taking up half of eachother's seat. She took a bite of the burrito-like food, and closed her eyes in pure happiness. Fighting aliens for two or three hours takes a lot out of you. She was tempted to steal Natasha's, after she didn't seem to be eating it, but she remembered that Natasha wasn't very happy if you took her food.
Natasha took a small bite of Cassandra's and slowly swallowed it. Her nose wrinkled, and she set it back down in the plastic tray.
"Yours is gross," she muttered.
"Then don't eat it." Cassandra said, swatting away Clint's hand.
"Yeah Nat. Don't eat it," Clint laughed quietly.
"That includes you Mr. Barton."
"Oh come on, you didn't even eat that much Miss Barnes."
"That doesn't mean you can eat my food!"
Clint looked like he was about to say something, but he held it back, biting his tongue, and going back to his food. She smiled victoriously, and took a drink of the water that was sitting next to her tray.

Cassandra got out of the car with Natasha and Clint. She pulled on her braid, pulling it farther down her shoulder. She watched as Bruce carefully put the Tesseract into the small containment chamber. Loki looked at Clint, but you couldn't tell how he reacted becuase of the sunglasses over his face.
"Bird brain." Natasha whispered.
Clint smiled, and Cassandra waved to Loki. He looked at her, and she threw him a sarcastic smile, and flipped him off. He glared, and she shrugged, mouthing,
"See ya later, grocery store man."
The god looked extremely offended, and looked like he wanted to say something, except the clamp over his mouth prevented him from speaking. Thor pushed him a little to get his attention, and he rolled his eyes, grabbing onto the other handle. The brothers twisted the handles simultaneously, and the vaporized in a flash of blue light.
Cassandra stepped back, holding an arm out so Natasha and Clint couldn't try to run through the mist. The gods disappeared, leaving five Avengers on their own.
Cassandra shook hands with Bruce, patting him on the back. She gave her nephew a hug, and Tony and Bruce got into the red car Tony had driven. She nodded to Steve, and got into the back seat of Clint's car.

The Wrong Hero
The gods have been known, in times of great need, to summon a hero from another world. In ages past, they have summoned mighty warriors from other universes to fight as their champion and save the world from darkness. Unfortunately, the gods are not all-knowing, and they can make mistakes. Sometimes what they get is not quite what they were expecting...
8 191The Oresteia (Modernized)
All three of the great Greek Tragedians have written plays about the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. Yet theirs is in fact not a story of tragedy, but rather one of redemption. As they move from darkness to light, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to civilized institution, their spirit of struggle and regeneration becomes an everlasting song of celebration to be heard throughout the ages. Forming a discourse set against the emergence of Athenian democracy out of a period of chaos and destruction, the Orestian plays are compelling stories of the tensions between our obligations to our families and the laws that bind us together as a society. In the beginning, we witness how a king’s decision to sacrifice his daughter and turn the tide of war inflicts lasting damage on his family, culminating in a terrible act of retribution. In the aftermath of regicide, we behold how a son must set out to avenge his father’s death by committing a most egregious sin. In the end, the sinner is tormented by supernatural powers that can never be appeased, but ultimately finds redemption and ends the curse on his house once and for all. Woven through all of this is the story of a friendship so close that it elevates itself to brotherhood - Where the blood of the covenant is shown to be indeed thicker than the water of the womb. In this very brief twelve-chapter modern rendition of the Orestian plays, I have chosen to place my focus mainly on the lives of the characters Orestes and his best friend Pylades. The chapters, each around 2000-2500 words, are split up evenly between them in first-person narrative. I hope that you will come to enjoy reading this heartwarming story, but more importantly, that you see how the conflicts portrayed in the story, whether human or institutional, are still much very relevant to our societies today. Note on Sources: The details of this story is very loosely based on The Oresteia by Aeschylus. And I mean very loosely. Other sources that I referenced for detail and inspiration are Mythology by Edith Hamilton, Electra by Sophocles, and Iphigenia in Tauris by Euripides. You may also find that I have quoted some of these works, and others (such as Shelley's Ozymondaeus), without citations (average of 1-2 such quotes per chapter). I did this because I do not have the ability to describe certain scenes nearly as well as some of those writers. If you read a particularly beautiful piece of prose here, chances are it's probably stolen lol. Also, I wrote this during the summer between my high school senior year and my college freshmen year. It was the summer of 2020, and being quarantined apparently gets my creative side out lol.
8 191The DT Journals
After his "death" Lee wakes up in a familiar yet unknown place alongside his friends who he knows died before him. After being introduced to their new lives and given a choice of helping or not, the group of misfit friends travel between dimensions doing random odd jobs for Eaxura's allies...that is until Lee starts to see the future, and how they really came to be [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Cover was done by: gej302
8 80The Rektoning: DeadHeads revolt
Not all births are a gift from God, some are in fact gruesome, bloody, and involve a lot of pain and trauma. This goes doubly so if you're a not quite zombie, not quite human undead man baby called DeadHead. Stuck dealing with gods who think of humans as playthings, Demons that won't shut the hell up, and a curse that thinks it owns his body. Witness the ugly and cruel conception of a new type of hero. Spoiler he doesn't survive the birth...
8 121Splitten World
This light in the category of dark fantasy novels tells the story of a child which is raised to be a young man by a pack of wolfs in the faraway forests of the old land.In a world ruled by corruption, greed and negativity this young man was chosen to bring a change to the world. "Yet, should he fail this world shall fall apart like an apple eaten and consumed from the unsatisfied hunger of the worm."Faced with humanities degeneration we will travel alongside him and discover a world full of beauty and ugliness. Love and hatred. Truly a "Splitten World"
