《Distraction》2011
Advertisement
As your eyes flicker open to the bright light you see the outline of a man standing over you, dark hair and stubble. He seemed familiar in a way and you couldn't place it. You take a deep breath but feel slightly panicked and unable. As your hands find their way to your neck you notice that it was padded and wrapped up.
'Careful!' Another man rushes as he see's you tugging on the bandages. 'You had a nasty wound' He had shaggy hair and glasses on the edge of his nose. He was short-ish but had a calm and soothing voice.
'Can you tell us your name?' He asks carefully.
'D-Daisy, like the flower'
'I prefer Poppy's myself' The other guy now speaks sarcastically but then his eyes widen slightly. 'Did you say Daisy?!'
'Where's....where's Steve?'
'Banner. These or the super soldiers my father worked on, the 'Steve' she's asking for is Captain America' The man splutters out and the other man looks at him confused.
'Are you sure?' He asks concerned.
They both take a step back from you and you look at them puzzled.
'Your father?'
'Howard. Howard Stark'
You feel your heart rate begin to pick up and your chest begins to pant. 'You-you can't be his son...because it's...I mean your...'
'It's 2011'
'Tony!'
'What? I just ripped off the bandaid off that we were prolonging'
'2011?' You repeat as you try to work it all out.
'From what we can gather, you were in some sort of plane crash with Steve, Tony Stark, son of Howard, managed to bring you both out of the ice you were submerged in, I'm Dr Bruce Banner'
'2011....' you whisper out again completely stunned.
'Oh great. She's becoming a robot' Tony sighs.

'She's in shock Tony. It's perfectly normal considering...'
'She was frozen in ice for nearly seventy years Bruce! Do you think that's normal?!
'You really are a stark' You mutter out and both men turn to face you.
'Did the serum keep me alive?' You ask carefully.
'I think that parts obvious' Tony rolls his eyes.
'It allowed your body to withstand the freezing temperatures while you were in the ice' Bruce explains as best he can without overwhelming you. 'When you thawed, the cut on your neck reopened and bled. We think the serum rebooted and healed it now though, if you'll allow me to unwrap...'
You tug at the bandage harshly and it falls off from around your neck.
Tony and Bruce both look at you stunned.
'Fascinating!' Bruce says excitedly. 'It's like there was never anything there'
'Because that's not freaky' Tony sighs.
'Says the two men gawking at me' You hiss back.
'Sorry' Bruce says shyly. 'I'll leave you to rest..'
'Apparently I've been resting for nearly seventy years. I just want to see...'
'Daisy?!' Steve bursts into the room and you feel your heart stop beating. You take a sharp inhale as you look at the panic on his face.
'Steve....' You say as tears immediately prick your eyes.
'You're alive, you're here' He says as relief washes over him. Barely able to stand straight.
You jump out of the bed you were propped up on and make your way over to him. He holds you so tight you could hardly breathe but you didn't care. You felt safe the minute he had you. Steve strokes your hair as you cry into his arms.
He looks between Bruce and Tony who just stare at Steve completely dumbfounded.
'Who are you and what is going on?' He asks sternly.

'Captain...' Bruce starts but Steve shakes his head.
'Steve Rogers, please' He insists.
'Steve Rogers....' Bruce says back respectfully.
'Pull up a chair Rogers' Tony says. 'We got some things to explain'
Steve cups your face and wipes the tears rolling down your face.
'T-they say it's 2011. He claims to be Howard's son' You point at Tony and Steve looks at him.
Tony rolls his eyes. 'Take a picture, it'll last longer'
'Sounds like Howard' Steve implies.
He takes your hand and you look down at the ring.
'Still just as beautiful as the day you give it to me' You say sincerely but sadly.
'Daisy...'
'Don't' You shake your head. 'I know what you're going to say, and if we really are this far into the future then....'
Steve nods and goes back to embracing you.
'What was you going to say?' Bruce asks curiously.
'There was a third soldier....' Steve says quietly.
'James Buchanan Barnes' Tony says to himself but you and Steve look up at him.
'My father spoke highly of the three of you, never knew what happened to you...'
'S-so they never found Bucky's body?' You ask eerily.
'Do you think it's possible he could be alive?' Steve asks warily.
'I'd have to take some blood samples and figure out the serums components...' Bruce mumbles off to himself.
'It's possible. Maybe' Tony jumps in.
You feel Steve tense and you let out a sob.
'Poor Bucky...' You say distraught.
'We'll find him Daisy. If he's out there. We will find him' Steve says genuinely as he places a tender kiss to your lips.

A Titan's Crusade
Erik Thayne spent most of his life being brutally ridiculed and tormented for his weight and physical appearance, among other things. A social pariah and diagnosed with an eating disorder no one has an explanation or treatment for, Erik spent years trying to overcome his issues with his personal image and escape the ridicule and vicious torment of his peers. After years of dedicated effort, and a fresh start in a town away from his childhood and adolescent tormentors, he had finally begun to truly realize what he'd been striving for all along. Only, fate apparently has other plans because in the blink of an eye, Erik found himself snatched from Earth and taken to another universe, another world, where he is offered the chance to be more than he'd ever imagined. Now, he has to fight to restore the Balance between Chaos and Order on a world of swords and magic, in a universe governed by the System's laws, which resemble those of RPGs from Earth. Erik learned to embrace the things about himself that others taught him to hate, using them to reforge his physical identity into something more removed from his old self-loathing. But can he learn to embrace the darkest parts of his mind just as he did the reviled aspects of his body and become who he needs to be to succeed in the task set before him? It might just prove easier to stalk in the dark as a monster than to walk in the light as a man... *This is my first time publishing anything I've written to a public audience. Due to formatting issues, I forwent traditional stat-screens for something a little less problematic, delineating stat screens by separating them from regular text with horizontal lines in a lighter-grey coloration. Let me know if you like them or not. Criticism is entirely welcome, but please don't hate on my work after only reading 1 chapter. This is a writing project I intend to complete but I have committment problems so we'll see how long this goes on. Also, fair warning, as the description implies, the main protagonist is intended to be someone who has been treated cruelly, developed antisocial tendencies, and ultimately has to question his own humanity--or lack thereof. This story is not intended to be brutally dark but I will definitely be trying to follow a darker theme. It is intended to be violent and some scenes later in the story might be...alarming. There will likely also be some light, non-graphic (think more implied with crude jokes and conversation than actual details, there will be no full-blown sex scenes)relationship scenes planned later and if you're opposed to either a bisexual or gay main character, stay away. I haven't yet decided which way he's going to swing but the odds on him being straight are relatively miniscule, and I've always wanted to write a story about a gay man who basically looks like a lumberjack because who doesn't like giving conventional stereo-types the middle finger? This will NOT be a harem story, and I have no intention to focus on romance over action--it's a consequence of character development where I'm concerned, not the be-all-end-all of the story. The cover-art does not, in any way, belong to me. It was an image titled the Druid King (by duskanmarkovic according to the file name) which I found on Google Images. Until I can get something commissioned, this is the best stand-in image I could find.
