《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.

I, The Lightning
In the world of Foronea, power rules, and for the 80% of those who don't have any power--The Mundane--life is hard. Really hard. Emmanuel Burroughs has had enough. Enough of being pushed around, and spat on. Enough of having his friends and family harassed just because some asshole decides he can. Enough of the nobles using The Mundane as little more than cattle. And he knows just what to do about it. Godking Samuel Lionheart, ruler of Terralane and most powerful of the four god-rulers of Foronea, allows every citizen one attempt at the 'Trial of Blessing', a grueling test of wit, strength, and overall competency. If the challenger wins, they receive a Blessing, a power that manifests a unique form based on the user's personality. The better they do, the stronger the Blessing. Emmanuel's plan is simple; get an S rank on the Trial, and get a Blessing strong enough to overthrow those at the top, fixing the problem with his own hands. But when Godking Samuel makes Emmanuel his Chosen, with a Blessing miles beyond his expectations, Emmanuel finds that being the capital h Hero isn't all he thought it would be. And before he saves anyone, he'll need to figure out how to stop his own power from ripping himself apart. ----------------------------------------------- Hello! Author here! Updates Every Friday! Chapters are anywhere between 2k and 8k words long. So, some warnings; -This novel contains a rather high amount of swearing. Thats just how it is. I like swearing, its in the book. -This book is LitRPG, BUT it takes a LONG time to get there. This is a much slower burn than most other LitRPG, so please keep that in mind.

World of Combat: A Dystopia Gamelit Series

Or buckle under her grandfather’s pressure to become a healer? Her best friend Eigo is an outcast from his scrounger family.

Will Kiriai win the fight that decides her future? An impossible deadline, a persuasive mentor, and her own family all stand in Kiriai’s way. If she loses, she’ll be consigned to a mundane life, but more importantly, banned from the arena forever. Kiriai can't let that happen. Combat Origin is the first book in the World of Combat, young adult, dystopia series. If you like strong heroines, gamelit/litrpg and a good brawl, keep reading. Author note: I just discovered the Royal Road community and decided to jump in and participate. I posted Combat Origin, Book 1 during Nov and Dec of 2019 (before moving it to Amazon), followed by the short story prequel that gave backstory on two of the main characters. (non-Gamelit - because the gaming AI hasn't been found yet) Now, Book 5 has been finished and posted on Amazon, which allows me to leave a 10% sample here. The books are all free to read, If you have Kindle Unlimited. Please comment, ask questions, offer suggestions or just say hi. I'm hoping to connect with readers and improve my storytelling. -- Misty :) https://www.amazon.com/author/mistyzaugg https://mistyzaugg.com/
