'Officer Webber' You say sadly as you answer the door.
'Daisy. Are you ready?' He holds out an arm for you and you gulp before you take it. He leads you over to the patrol car, opening the door for you. You give a warm Thankyou and step inside. As the door closes on you you feel your breath hitch a little. Today was the day.
The drive to the courthouse was silent for a while. You leaned your head against the window and stared out as you pass the houses.
'So, I've been listening to Captain America's speeches on the radio...' Officer Webber tries to make conversation.
A smile spreads across your face as you hear his title. 'He seemed like a great man, when I met him' Officer Webber continues.
You turn tour head to him. He was focused on the road, two hands on the wheel. Driving at a nice and easy pace.
'No doubt about it' You say back sweetly.
'How long is he away for?'
You sigh. 'Sorry I didn't mean...'
'No' You stop him apologising. 'It's fine. Seven more weeks. Unless....' You stop yourself a moment. 'Unless they get called to war...' You gulp as you say the words.
'Well. He's pretty much indestructible now isn't he? Super soldier their calling him'
You chuckle a little but it's from nerves. 'Yeah...yeah...'
You pull up to the courthouse and Officer Webber turns to face you. 'Are you sure you're up for this?'
You take one more breath and close your eyes. All you can see is Steve and Bucky cheering you on.
'Im up for it' You say back sincerely.
(ONE HOUR LATER)
You take a deep breath and knock on the door. You swallow your pride and clench your fists. You had to do this.

' W-what're you doing here?' Peggy answers the door to see you standing there.
'My mother was just charged with assistance to murder' You blurt out.
Peggy frowns. 'I'm sorry?'
'Me too. Because at first I thought you had killed my father. Turns out it was her new husband. They've just got a warrant out for his arrest'
Peggy looks at you confused. 'Why're you telling me this?'
As your eyes meet you feel your stomach churn. 'May I come in?' You ask as politely as you can.
Peggy goes to say something but stops herself before pushing the door open further.
You step into the hallway and she leads you down to a living room. It was the complete opposite of minimalistic. A large grandfather clock in one corner of the room and a shelf of antique plates stacked high in the other.
'Wow...' You look around shocked.
Peggy clears her throat and that's when you realise you were gawking.
'So now I'm free of suspected murder. What do you want?' Peggy tries to stand her ground.
'I need your help' You say back bluntly. Peggy scoffs and you raise your eyebrows.
'Daisy. You were the reason I was fired'
'Correction. I believe you were the reason I was fired'
'Daisy...'
'No. Just listen. You're going to help me, or I get Steve to press charges'
'For what?!'
'Sexual harassment'
'You can't be serious?'
You give her a small smirk and you see the colour drain from her face. 'Try me'
'Okay...okay...what do you need?'
'The serum' You say back plainly.
'I-I'm sorry?'
'The serum. I want the serum'

Domhain: A Modern Fantasy LitRPG
(Blurb) When Ardan, a teenage elf boy, is thrown into the world- his world, of distrust and tension, he wants only one thing. To live a normal life, get a job, make friends, even start a family. But either dumb luck or fate won't leave him alone. With the power of a game system and magic, he's determined to find out the reason he was picked, and what makes him special. Along the way, hopefully meeting new friends and learning some magic here and there. (Synopsis) Domhain - a world split between five nations and five unique magical gifts; home of elves, dwarves, goblins, trolls, and humans, each of them so different but in reality more alike than anyone would like to acknowledge. Twenty years ago, the humans, weakest of the five, secretly acquired powerful magic and set out for war. The united forces of the other nations stood no chance. Humanity prevailed, proving itself as the new leader of the modern world. Now, Domhain is at peace but tensions are rising again. The humans want more than their territory back. They want it all. And they want revenge. But this time, the elves hide a dark power, and will stop at nothing to wipe the humans off Domhain forever. War is inevitable. Thousands will die. And the power to stop it all falls into the hands of none other than a particularly tall fifteen-year-old elf orphan. Ever since he could remember, Ardan lived a normal, sheltered, life in an elven orphanage. On the day he's finally able to leave for good and start his independent life, something strange occurs. He is given a pill, a gift, that turns his life into a game with levels, quests, dungeons, and a... talking weapon? All of which are capable of transforming his body and the world around him. As if that weren’t enough, Ardan learns the orphanage has hidden natural magic from him, and the whole world is intertwined with it. More importantly, he, as an elf, has a particularly unique and powerful heritage. That heritage, along with the benefits of his new power makes him a target for the greed of many... With nothing but his friends and a incredibly smart sister, he is determined to find out what makes him so special. Who can he trust?

Re:volutionist
I died and then received an offer to be reincarnated in a Fantasy World.The problem is - I'm not exactly gonna be a ""hero"" of that world, this wasn't really an offer to begin with, and that strange shapeless black entity who gave me that ""offer"" wasn't really trustworthy... or sane. Now I am alone in the world that wants me dead. The world I am supposed to ruin as a part of a game I don't understand. I don't even know who plays that game... but it looks like it's a game in which everyone - from pawns to players - is trying to cheat.**********Mature Content Warning - foul language, gore (in the future), potential sex scenes (in the future).
