《After the Aftermath》California love
Advertisement
Three days had passed in the car. Elle was asleep in the passenger seat, curled up against the window in Noah's sweat shirt. He was glad to see her at least comfortable in his clothes. He'd been afraid it would've reminded her of her escape from that disgusting rapist's house, but there she was, comfortably asleep. It was around eight-o-clock and the sun was almost fully set, only a glimmer of its light floated on the horizon now. They were in Nebraska, nearing California's border. Noah looked out over the dimly lit desert as the sun set. It was like a calm before the storm. He knew Richard probably had his family and that he and Elle might be too late, but he still held out hope. He hoped that he and Elle would get past this awful time and grow closer, and he hoped that they would never be separated again. He heard Elle shift and sit up.
"Hey sleepy head, we still have a couple of hours if you want to sleep a little longer." He smiled. She gave him a sleepy smile back.
"Nah I think I'll stay up with you for awhile." She smiled. God how he missed her smile. Images of her in the hospital room flooded his brain as he looked at her. Her sitting on the bed, her dad and brother's bodies, her scared and heart broken face. He pulled himself back into reality.
"Elle we're heading into deep shit, it's gonna be bad. Elle I can't-"
"Noah, look I get it, your family is in danger and you want to protect them and I. But if it comes down to a choice, between me or your family, promise you'll choose your family!" Noah looked over at here with hurt in his eyes.

"Elle no, you're my family too, I-I love you for fucks sake, I'm not gonna choose I'm not God!"
"Noah, promise me! I've lost my family! I've lost everything! I've lost you twice now, and my brother was only eight when he died! And I'm the reason he's dead! IF I AM THE CAUSE OF ONE MORE DEATH I WILL KILL MYSELF! So promise me, you will choose them over me?" Noah looked at Elle's tear streaked face.
"Elle, you could ask the world of me and I'd give it to you, but you can't make me promise you this, it's not fair of you. I can't make you that promise because I don't know if I could keep it. And yes, I love my family and I will do anything and everything to save them, but I can't choose between someone and someone else's lives. I can't and I won't." Elle searched his face for any sign that he was bluffing, or a silent nod of agreement, but there was none.
"Well then I'll make the choice." She said in a low voice. Noah's expression darkened and his grip on the wheel started to make dents in the steal underneath the leather cover of the wheel. Elle knew what he wanted, he wanted her to say it would be okay, but she knew it wouldn't be. The car sped on until the lights of the next toll booth shown in the distance.

8 93Indomitable Marvel
-This is a wish-fulfillment story that is in the MCU universe and will follow the MCU in my own way. The goal is to blend my story in and around the MCU. -It will be a while, a very long while before I get to the actual MCU storyline. -The story may seem a bit slow depending on what you're after. -Updates will be slow. -He does not start op. -Be warned I'm a below-average writer, I need to work on my details and wording, and probably everything else. Expect quality fluctuations. -((( Useful feedback is much appreciated. ))) -This will have a harem since my last story didn't have one. --Expect badly written lemon scenes. They will be marked for an easy skip for those who don't want to read it. If you can handle all that, then welcome aboard. -The Asgardian Theoric is about to get a second chance. [[[ https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Theoric_(Earth-616) ]]] -The story starts before the MCU where he will grow his abilities on his way to becoming indomitable. -1st volume: Prologue -2nd volume: Troll War - (ch.12-59)-3rd volume: Hidden Forces - (ch. 60-???)-4th volume: Olympians-5th volume: Mutants-6th volume: MCU-7th volume: Darkness???-8th volume: ??? ___________________________________To help answer some questions people might have. - No beast companions and as of right now no plans for beast companions. (But then again Hela does have Fenris...)- No kingdom-building,- The beginning of the story puts a lot of people off because I didn't go the normal route people would like, and they don't tend to like the troll arc.- He also starts a little rash and seems a little weak because his powers easily drain him, some of this is explained later though and fixed by Gaea, but many miss this and only concentrate on the fact that he isn't being and doing what they think he should.- I should also explain that he has some memories that were locked away and then deleted because of his rashness. This was simply a way to end the whole locked memory thing, the Acanti soul was a plot point to give him future memories of the MCU, beyond that it served no more purpose so I got rid of all the other useless knowledge, He was in no way nerfed as some would like to believe.- I made him a little more emotional then I would like at the beginning, it was my attempt at trying to give him a personality after being criticized for the lack thereof in my last story. - Ruthless? I don't think so, I'm going more the route of a fair Mc. He'll do more of an eye for an eye type stuff, gender does not matter to him when it comes to this.- While the harem isn't the end all be all goal, it's true that he's going around getting women.- I do have a story beyond the harem though and will not focus too heavily on the harem beyond the obvious. Mostly he just goes around sleeping with them and beyond that is anyone's guess whether they stick around or not, I do try and make it feel a little more real, but it is a harem. ___________________________________ -I have also posted this story on Royal Road and Wattpad.

Hello everyone. I’m an avid reader but I’ve never tried writing my own novel to be published. So I’m going for it on Royal Road and let's see what happens. Prologue My story begins while working as a Security Officer. I’m Bill501 aka the Wolfman as I have about 15 different Wolf tattoos. Not that you would know it since I have to cover them all for work. I’m sitting at my desk waiting for lunchtime and greeting all the employees in the building as they walk by. All the sudden I have a splitting headache and I’m trying not to show it because I don’t have sick time and I don’t want to go home sick and lose money. Suddenly a screen comes up but it just looks like floating text. It says Welcome to the System. Hell I read at least 5 novels a week that start that way so I’m like hell yeah so worth the headache. I’m over here saying status and character screen and anything else I can think of to bring up my stats and it doesn’t do shit…. 15 minutes later I get a message that says loading…..
