《Destiny Rewritten》Chapter 27
Advertisement
This chapter will involve an old friend from Central City moving to Star City and a change in leadership in Argus.
"What do you need?" Waller asked Oliver as he, John, Laurel and Sara stood in front of her in Argus headquarters.
"You heard me Waller. A training facility, our current base is inadequate for the training we currently." Oliver said.
"Tell me what kind of training and perhaps I can even do more than that." Waller said.
"You know I'll never do that." Oliver said.
"Then get out of here." Waller said.
"Actually Amanda, the only person here who needs to scram is you." Alex Danvers said as she entered the room.
"Agent Danvers, what brings the DEO's second in command out here?" Waller asked.
"Supergirl has brought your highly questionable actions to light at the DEO." Alex said and Oliver grinned, knowing that Kara had come through.
"Really, like what?" Waller asked, surprisingly calm, though internally, she was actually sweating.
"Shooting down a plane and risking destabilizing China's economy to take down a single target while also killing hundreds, holding a family hostage to force one man's cooperation, utilizing dangerous criminals for black ops assignments, the list goes on and on. And Director Henshaw has decided your services are no longer required. Amanda Waller, you are terminated from Argus and you are also under arrest. Take her away." Alex said and while the agents looked a bit conflicted at first, they also knew that even if Waller still had authority, Alex outranked her and did what she said.
"You can't do this." Waller insisted.
"Actually, I can and I will. Director Henshaw has approved it." Alex said, honestly a bit smug, since she'd never liked Waller.
"Where she should we take her ma'am?" one of the guards asked.

"Take her to task force X. I'm betting it's members will be thrilled to have her join them." Alex said and they nodded before dragging her away.
"So, who's in charge of Argus?" Lyla asked, wondering if it would be her.
"While normally it would be you agent Michaels, Director Henshaw has actually assigned me as the new director of Argus, since he wants someone he trusts running and reforming this organization." Alex said and Lyla actually seemed a bit relieved.
"Thank goodness. I've seen what sitting behind that desk can do and frankly, I prefer being out in the field, not behind a desk." Lyla said.
"Oh, don't get me wrong, unlike Waller, I will be right out in the field with my agents, but I'm glad you won't feel like you were uspurped." Alex said.
"As long as you prove to be a fair leader, I'll gladly follow you." Lyla said and Alex nodded before turning to Oliver and his team.
"Alex." Sara asked, surprised to see her, since they'd had a one night stand in Central City.
"Hey Sara. Nice to see you again." Alex said, giving her a flirty smile.
"You know her?" Laurel asked.
"I'll tell you later." Sara said.
"Do you know who we are?" Oliver asked.
"I know you're the Green Arrow, Sara is the White Canary and Laurel is the Black Canary. Just like how I know who Supergirl is." Alex said.
"Who is she?" Laurel asked.
"Not my place to say." Alex said, not knowing that Oliver already knew who Supergirl is.
"So, can you give me what I'm asking for?" Oliver asked, trusting Alex with his life.
"Tell me what you want a training area for first." Alex said.
"Laurel is one of the people affected by the accelerator explosion. She has powers now. We need a more ideal place to train her to use them." Oliver explained.
"Agent Michaels, get them a list of defunct Argus and DEO installations in the city. Maybe they can turn on into a more suitable base then whatever they're using now." Alex said.
"Right away Director Danvers." Lyla said as she walked away.

The Badger Dungeon
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Dungeons. Everyone's heard of them. Sprawling maze-like places where you can find special objects that can't be found anywhere else in the world, train to become a great warrior or wizard, and slay dozens of monsters. Drops! Loot! Glory! What more could you want? Dungeons are places of danger and adventure, full of thrills and maybe even romance, where people enter as your normal and everyday person but leave as a hero. Even a child knows what a dungeon is! A dungeon is controlled and ruled over by its Dungeon Core, a mana crystal that's gained sentience, and with it a mind just as twisted as the home that it makes for itself. Dungeon Cores all have very simple wants and needs: to expand and to devour, and to that end, they'll do absolutely everything and anything within their power. Everyone knows that. Sometimes, though? Sometimes the Dungeon Core doesn't know that. Sometimes they wake up all alone, confused and with no clue what they should do, and find themselves quickly becoming the home to a family of badgers and other creatures. The Dungeon Core can be left struggling to figure out their role in the world and how exactly they're supposed to achieve it. They're really doing their best, and you shouldn't judge them for it! The badger thing was a complete mistake but there's just no way they can turn back and fix it so they're just trying to make do, okay?! What would you do in their situation?! Cover art was made with pixel assets from Szadi art and 0x72.

Ortus (Old Version)
This is an old version of the heavily edited and rewritten Ortus This is the story of a woman named Riza. Riza is a woman who wakes up in a forest with nothing, remembering nothing, and on the cusp of death. The only thing she has is a weapon stuck in her side and, after a tangle with a wild boar, something called 'life aspect'. Little does she know that life magic is considered a dead-end branch and is largely outlawed across the world. None of this matters to her, of course. For one, even if someone tried to tell her, she doesn't know the language. Number two, have you heard about the sunk cost fallacy? Riza is not some chosen one, nor is given any boon she doesn't deserve. Instead, she's smart and methodical, and experiements on how to maximise every opportunity, every ability, presented to her. She doesn't just take things at face-value but instead explores just what limitations there are. This often involves maths.

Divine Intervention Online
Vin is an ex-slave who wields sacred knowledge to demand freedom for his people. Seth is a reluctant player stuck in a game that is set to last 200 more years. When their paths converge, even the false gods will take notice. * * * Hello and thank you for giving Divine Intervention Online a chance. This is not my first book (that honor belongs to The Flock by Chris Sauter- available on Amazon). This is hopefully going to become my second book, the first of a planned LITRPG trilogy. This is a labor of love, dedicated to my absolute obsession with the LITRPG genre that has held me in its grasp for over 3 years. There will be dark situations that perhaps only adults should read including: slavery, violence and the results of war. There will be no harems, little profanity, but possibly some triggers for people who don’t like torture, violence, and other dark stuff.
