《The Beginning of the Age of Heroes》Chapter 2
Advertisement
The next morning Oliver was the first to wake up and when he looked around, he saw a man standing there with what looked to be some weird kind of costume. Oliver looked at the man for a second and started laughing.
"Who are you and what the hell are you wearing. I will tell you one thing. You have no style." Oliver said while still laughing.
This caused the rest of the people in the cave to wake up as well. "What is it Halloween or something?" Thea asked as she laughed as well.
"My name is Mar Novu. I am also known as the Monitor. I watch over the multiverse and make sure that the heroes of the multiverse are ready for what is coming." Novu said.
"What does that have to do with us? We are just normal kids who got trapped on an island after their boat went down." Barry said.
"Oh, I seriously doubt that." Novu said as he looked at Kara now.
"Why is he looking at you like that Kara?" Laurel asked.
"I don't know." Kara said nervously.
"Ok, now I will let you know why I am really here. The six of you are some of the best heroes in the multiverse in the future. I will give you some of what you need to become those heroes." Novu said.
"I can see Laurel, Kara, and maybe Barry being heroes of some sort, but Sara, Thea, and me. I can't see us being heroes. We are more worried about money or partying." Oliver said.
"I have to agree with Oliver there. I am not a hero. I am a partier and I have a good time." Sara said.
"Yeah, I really like my money." Thea said.
"I can understand why you would be skeptical. At this point in your lives, you are not hero material. That is what being trapped on this island will do for you. It will make it, so you are less likely to need money or partying. The trials you will face will make you mature." Novu said.
"I just can't see myself being a hero. It is not who I am." Oliver said.
"You are one of the best of them Oliver, and so are the rest of you. You just need to believe it." Novu said.
"Ok, so say we believe you. What happens now?" Laurel asked.
"I will give you the powers that you will need to do your jobs as heroes." Novu said.
"Ok, so who goes first?" Oliver asked.

"You do Oliver Queen, since you are the leader of the team." Novu said.
"Me, the leader? I don't think so." Oliver said.
"In the future many heroes follow your lead. You learn all of that while you are here on this island and other places that you will be in the future." Novu said.
"Ok, so what do I need to do?" Oliver asked.
"Right now, nothing. What I am going to do for you is give you what are known as Specter powers. I am only going to give you partial power right now. You will get more powers as you get used to what you have now. The reason that you will not get all of the powers now is because that will make you lazy, and I need you to learn how to be one of the best fighters in the world. Therefore, you will not get your full powers until you learn to fight, and at that point you will not want to take the easy way out, so you won't even use the powers then unless you absolutely have to." Novu said.
"I can work with that. Who's next" Oliver asked.
"Barry Allen, you will become a speedster. You will be able to do amazing things with your powers. You will also need to learn how to fight so use your powers as little as possible until you get home." Novu said and Barry nodded in understanding.
"Laurel Lance, you will get what will be known in the future as a Canary Cry. It is a sonic scream that will come out when you scream, and a side effect of this power is that you will also have echolocation which will allow you to hear things from far away. You will also get partial Specter powers for two reasons. In two years, all of you will be taken off of this island by a group known as the League of Assassins. They are a group that is very old fashioned, meaning that women are used to service men. The first reason you will get these powers is to help you protect yourself from these people. The second reason is that a woman can not a child with a man that has Specter powers unless she has them herself." Novu said.
"Ok, I understand all of this. I guess that means that Ollie and I are really meant to be." Laurel said.
"That you are. Sara Lance, you will get the Canary Cry and Echolocation that your sister has but you will also have the ability to control anyone outside of this cave with your mind." Novu said.

"So, I will have mind control?" Sara asked.
"That is correct. You and your sister will be known as the White and the Black Canary respectively." Novu said.
"Those are cool names, and I always thought I looked good in white." Sara said.
"Thea Queen, you will have the same powers as your brother and like him you will also get your powers as you learn how to use them. You and your brother will become two of the best archers and fighters in the world. You will be known as Artemis. Oliver will be Green Arrow. Barry Allen will be the Flash. Laurel and Sara will also be known as great fighters once all is said in done.
"What about Kara?" Sara asked.
"Oh yes, Kara Zor-El will be very important to your team as well, but I don't have to give her any powers." Novu said.
"Why is that? I mean Kara is just as normal as the rest of us, and why did you call her Kara Zor-El. She is Kara Queen. I know she is adopted but still." Barry said.
"Kara do you want to tell them or should I?" Novu asked.
"I will. My birthname is Kara Zor-El and I am from Krypton. I am cousin to Kal-El or Superman as you all know him. I am actually his older cousin, but my ship got caught in the Phantom Zone where I didn't age and when I got here Kal was grown up. I was sent here to raise him but that didn't happen the way it was supposed to. Kal knew the Queen and trusted them so he left me with them so I could live a normal life." Kara said.
"Were you ever going to tell me?" Barry asked.
"Yes. We haven't been together for long. I was going to tell you when I knew that we were going to make it. I didn't think it would be necessary if we didn't make it, but if we made it, I was going to tell you. Please trust me on this." Kara said.
"It will take some time to get used to this. I thought we were always honest with each other, then I find out about this. I trust you I just need some time to get my head around all of this is all." Barry said.
"Ok, if you need some time, I will give it to you." Kara said.
"I am not going to break up with you over this Kara, I just need to time need to make sure that you are always honest with me from now on. If you are not, that might change things. I trust you and I love you, but I don't want any more secrets between us." Barry said and Kara nodded accepting this from her boyfriend.
"Ok, so here is what you need to know. Soon you will meet people that will start you on the path to being good fighters. You will learn from them and then at the end of year two you will be taken in by the League and you will all become excellent fighters. Do not reveal your powers to anyone. The more they know the more they will use you. Once you get back to Starling is when you can use your powers as you see fit. You may use your powers to protect yourselves from the League and anybody on this island but use the ones you can keep secret. Oliver and Thea Queen can use their powers the way they want to because no one will know it is them. Barry Allen and Kara Zor-El will use their speed and will not be able to be seen. Laurel Lance can use her partial Specter powers to help her, and Sara Lance can use her mind control. Do not use the Canary Cries unless you are alone and training with it." Novu said.
"Ok, so what you are saying is that we don't want anyone to know that we are different from them." Kara said.
"Exactly. So are there anymore questions for me?" Novu asked.
"Nothing right now. Is there a way to get in touch with you?" Laurel asked.
"No, once I am gone, I will not see you again until it is time to prepare for the fight that is to come." Novu said.
"Ok, well I think we know everything that we need to for right now. Is it ok for us to train with our powers right now?" Oliver asked.
"Yes, you can do that now, but soon you will meet up with the people who will train you to fight, so train with your powers while you can." Novu said.
"Ok, thanks for all of this and I hope we don't see you again for a very long time." Barry said.
"You and me both Mr. Allen. Good luck and goodbye for now." Novu said as he disappeared and left the team to train with their new powers while they still could.

Dream of the Abyss
Elisa Mary Grant died in a hospital bed after being stuck in it for six months, and like any other, her soul drifted away from her husk when she passed. For her, death was a release. It merely meant that she no longer have to wake up in pain, breathing through tubes and have doctors flood her veins with dubious chemicals for “experimental treatment”. Free from her mortal constraints and useless body, she felt… at peace, serene, even. Death is bliss, after all, when objectively living sucked to the point of extreme. Therefore, there was no reason to mourn at all and she knew she definitely didn't. ... That was until, on her way for a proper reincarnation, she found herself rudely interrupted and left stranded in the great NoWhere. “Wonderful,” she remarked as she floated in the [Beyond], “Just when I thought that suicide is the answer.” Author's note: Updates every Tuesday-Wednesday, probably some time in between. ... P.S Notes: Contains existential questions and nihilistic themes, rather philosophical. Will be rather sluggish until the MC gets her shit together. P.SS Notes: Story takes time to develop. And maybe uncomfortable. It's not gonna be action-packed or filled with battles, I think. Anyway, it is kinda unusual. P. SSS Notes: It is not LitRpg. Don't be fooled.

Father of Monsters
Earth and all of humanity is gone. like completely and utterly blown to cosmic space dust gone. Only one human managed to survive by pure luck of the draw. Leon Castro was pretty much your average joe. White guy, 5’11, brown eyes, dirty blond hair, and weighing in at around 160lbs. He was a guy with dreams of making it big someday in the future but having no real plan as to how he was going to achieve it. But Leon did have one thing going for him. He’d found a niche on the internet making videos that had gotten him quite a big following in the past year or so. Enough so that he could use the ad revenue to continue making those videos and not have to work another job to keep his tiny little apartment in Norfolk Virginia. The content of his videos was quite easily summed up in just a few words… Theoretical Monster Biology.This was the guy who survived. Transported to another world, where magic, a vaguely game like System, and Dungeons are a thing. (Warning) This is a first draft that has not been edited in any way. Directly from brain to word document. there is very little gore or sexual content early on but there will be. hence the tags. Cover Art was done by GGmadude over on the Discord.

ICOMO ODYSSEY
Jonathan Vélo never expected to be famous. Not for riding his bike all the way around the continent of Icomo. Every adult knows his story, and children learn about him at school. This, however, is the first and only biography written about that great man with foreigners in mind. We, his biographers, imagine they will be immensely grateful. Of course, readers will find the people of Icomo an unusual sort for glorifying a young man who did nothing more than quit his job and ride his bike from town to town, city to city… But in an age of robots and computers, when little escapes the notice of the historian, there is a quiet epic to be told. It is the epic of cozy nights in a tent below the stars, of warm wind and ocean waves. It is also the epic of missing old friends in faraway places, and that feeling of needing to make life mean something. *** ‘ICOMO ODYSSEY’ is a nostalgic slice-of-life adventure about a utopian sci-fi land. No clever villains or epic fights here. Just cozy pleasures, charming towns and villages, interesting cultures, and the people who live in them… This story will update bi-weekly on Friday and Saturday. https://www.scribblehub.com/series/467210/icomo-odyssey/
