《Destiny Rewritten》Chapter 182

Sorry for the delay, but for right now, you probably should not expect updates from me as frequently as usual, though I will still be updating, it will just take longer than usual.
"Uh, Oliver, I think you should see this." Winn said.
"What is it?" Oliver asked.
"Records of a murder committed while you and Laurel were off time travelling." Winn said.
"Okay and while that is something to feel bad about, why are you bringing it to my attention?" Oliver asked as Winn brought up the coroner's report.
"Because of the victim was Owen Post." Winn said and now Oliver was on full alert, though he didn't show it.
"Who's that?" Oliver asked.
"According to a lot of digging, he was Cayden James's son." Winn said.
"Do you know who killed him?" Oliver asked.
"Not yet, but the interesting thing is that the weapon used was an arrow." Winn said.
"Likely someone trying to frame me for Owen's death to James against us. We need to find proof that I didn't kill him before James tries to make a move on the city." Oliver said.
"I'm already on it." Winn said.
"Good. I don't want to even imagine the damage Cayden could do." Oliver said.
"He's just a hacker." Winn said.
"But you forget that practically everything is run by computers these days. He could kill countless people in the city." Oliver reminded Winn.
"Fair point. I just hope we have some time." Winn said.
"So do I." Oliver said, though he knew that their time was quickly running out.
Cayden James was currently sitting in a diner out in Keystone, trying to keep a low profile. The only reason he was out at all was because the people who'd arranged to have him broken out of Argus custody had asked to meet with him in person and Cayden was a man who paid his debts.

"Mr. James. It's a pleasure to meet you." a male Australian voice said as Cayden looked up to see two tall dark haired gentlemen approach him.
"I take it that you two are the ones I have to thank for my freedom?" Cayden asked as the two men sat down on the opposite side of the booth from him.
"Yes. My name is Kane Wolfman." Kane said.
"Also known as Joe Wilson. I'm assuming that this is your brother Grant." Cayden said.
"How do you know that?" Grant asked.
"I make it my business to know shady and despicable characters. They could come in handy." Cayden said.
"Fair enough." Kane said.
"So, can I ask why you helped me escape?" Cayden asked.
"Unfortunately, it was because we knew Argus would never tell you." Kane said.
"Tell me what?" Cayden asked.
"Mr. James, I'm sorry, but a few days before we liberated you, your son Owen Post was killed."Grant said.
"What?" Cayden asked, desperately hoping it wasn't true.
"I'm sorry, but it's true. Here's proof." Kane said as he showed Cayden the video.
"This looks like." Cayden said.
"Like your son was collateral damage in a fight with the Green Arrow." Grant said.
"And he will pay dearly for it." Cayden said.
"We'll help you in any way that we can." Grant said.
"Thank you, but if you'll excuse me, I have to go." Cayden said as he got up and left, not seeing the identical grins on the brothers' faces.
"Phase one complete. We won't even need to lift a finger." Kane said.
"Time to move on to Phase two." Grant said.
"This will be fun." Kane said with a grin.

Charlotte Powers: Diary of a Would-Be Superhero
The journal of a girl who thinks she knows. (Spoiler: She does not know.) "...an odd combination of stream-of-conscious anxieties and high-flying save-the-world goals written by an overzealous, naïve teenaged girl in her wristwatch computer diary."-readers are better at describing stories than the writers who wrote them "When it's over you look up: the world looks the same, but you are somehow different and that feeling lingers for days."-bit OTT but I'll take it "...everything cannot just be good and then be even more good, in this story, right?"-100% accurate assessment "...the plot was bland and the character uninteresting. It was just a very dull read. I cannot recommend this book to anyone."-oh well can't win them all Discord for discussion. Complain about Charlotte's nonsense! Ship the characters! Do a thing! Now entering the second arc, Power Play. Things are getting serious. We're heading towards something important. Charlotte is still largely clueless. But she is trying so hard.

Stories Of Indlu
“… to grow, for opportunity, for adventure, to be free. Join the colony ship Nao Vittoria. Be the first to live amongst the stars.” It was obvious from the literature that the NextStar corporation wanted the young, the adventurous and the brilliant. So why were the super rich fighting over seats? Why were AI’s trying to stow away? Did this signify a premature end to human/AI civilisation? Why had some questions directed to NextStar been aggressively sidelined? Why did the colonist inflight entertainment trial produce fatalities? In fact, why colonists at all? Those and many other questions, however, boiled down to a single central question. Why was the world’s most advanced AI dumped with a hundred year babysitting job for 50 million people speeding towards an uninhabitable planet? It made such little sense. The only sure way to get answers, catch a ride on the Nao Vittoria and play the inflight entertainment game, Pax Domini. I joined, and this is my story. Well, I feature. OK, I’m more of a spectator. Actually, I’m completely irrelevant I was just there. I’m only the storyteller. But what a story to tell. --------- Hi All, Content will be published weekly usually Saturday and typical posts will be 25oo to 4ooo words per post. Though for some reason the Royal Road word count does not include the content of tables so some posts may not appear to meet this criteria. Currently I have written sufficient unedited content to keep this schedule for the next 12 months (half way through the first story arc). My current productivity would indicate that I can maintain this schedule for well into the second story arch. This also allows for the additional content that will be posed exclusively on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/StoriesOfIndlu). This additional content follows minor characters, peripheral events, maps and other content that does not take away from the main story. I would love to accelerate the post schedule but to meet this I need the assistance of more beta readers than I currently have. So please let me know if you are interested. - Andy ©2022 Andy Leauter.

Words I Left Unsaid
"Like a treasure map in a bottle, We were slowly drifting apart, Mother Nature sailing our purpose out to sea, The more I got to know you, I realised how much of a hoax your devotion was, Almost as fake as the smile I paint across my shattered face."This collection of poetry releases trauma in the form of expression - mainly the words I could never build up the courage to say. Most of these poems present conflict of the mind and allude to mental health struggles, which may be relatable to a certain community of people.Ranks -#3 in poem#3 in poembook#8 in poetry collection #7 in sadpoems#6 in poemcollection #7 in wisdom #15 in poetic
