《My Father From Another Continent》Day 8: Driving + Day 9: Last Name: Wayne
Advertisement
Waking up, Bruce felt weirdly elated; somehow it was like he was in a good mood. The reason? He wasn't really sure ("It's because of Marinette!" "Shush, don't tell them that! He'll get embarrassed!" "I can hear the both of you.")
Sighing, he sits at his usual seat at the table, and just as he was about to take a sip of his coffee, Alfred pops into his side with a phone in hand. "You have a phone call, Master Bruce."
"A phone call?" he reaches over and takes the phone from the Englishman. "Bruce Wayne speaking."
"Hello, Mister Wayne," a female voice answers him. "This is the Gotham City Police Department and we're calling about your son speeding on a motorcycle."
"Speeding?"
"Yes," the female affirms. "And he is also sighted with a teenage girl—oh, gosh." she cuts herself off.
'A teenage girl? Jason, I swear—'
"Oh my god, it's the girl who's driving!" the female on the phone shrieks. "And they just went on top of a building!" a building?????? "They're jumping from rooftop to rooftop, oh my god!!!"
The phone call abruptly ends and Bruce is left there just staring at the dark screen, his mouth agape. He swears the if Marinette gets even a single scratch on her, he'll take away all of Jason's guns and leather jackets!
Tapping his foot repeatedly on the ground, Bruce waits impatiently for his two wayward children in the Police Station.
After a few more agonizing minutes of trying to not make a scene and not throw a tantrum like an impatient child, he hears engines revving from the outside and the doors slam open. "We're here!" Jason comes waltzing in with a worried Marinette in tow.

"Yes, it's good that you're here." he smiles at Marinette and glares at Jason. "What were you thinking?!" he practically shouts at his tallest son. "You could've put Marinette in danger!"
Jason rolls his eyes and grumbles. "I would never let anything happen to her; how could you even think that of me?"
"It's all right, Monsieur Wayne!" Marinette waves her hands and bites her lip. "It was me who forced him to go on a ride with me." she looks down and fidgets with her hands.
The brunet clicks his tongue and shakes his head. "You don't have to apologize, I had fun!" Jason smiles widely and ruffles the ravenette's hair (he kind of wants to ruffle her hair too).
"But..." she meekly looks up at him and pouts. (why is she so adorable?)
Bruce pats her head and sighs. "Don't worry, I'm not mad at you." he hears Marinette let out a relieved sigh and smiles. "I'm mad at him!" he glares at Jason from the back of his daughter's head.
"Wah—but!" Marinette panics and flails her arms around.
"Calm down," Jason assures her and pats her shoulders. "I'm not really affected by that." he laughs loudly while Marinette whimpers and pouts.
Bruce lets out a sigh and shakes his head. "I heard you were the one driving," he says to Marinette. "Does that mean you have a US driver's license?" he asks her.
"Oh, yes, I do! Although, I'm going to have to renew it now," she ponders as she taps her chin and looks up at the ceiling in wonder.
"Then," he drags on. "Can I come?" he asks and points at himself with a smile.
"What?"

"I'm saying, I want to accompany you." he smiles wider. Of course, there's another reason why, but does he really have to tell her that?
"O-Okay."
"W-What is this?" Marinette looks as him and the card in her hands repeatedly.
"What do you mean? It's your driver's license." Bruce smiles at her innocently. It technically is hers, so why is she looking at him like that?
"But—! My name!" she shrieks and waves the card around.
"What about your name?" he smiles cheekily at her confused and panicked expression. How adorable!
"Name! Duchayne! Wayeng!" she babbles and walks back and forth in place.
Bruce laughs loudly and ruffles her hair. Why is her hair so soft? Don't they use the same shampoo since she lives (temporarily) in the manor now? How come they have different hair texture? "Do you not like it?"
"What? No, of course I like it! It's my driver's license," she says. Bruce could almost hear the word "obviously" coming right after.
"Then, what seems to be the problem?" he asks her with worry. Maybe she really didn't like it. Maybe he shouldn't have meddled in her business.
"Nothing! It's just that..." she looks back at the card in her hands. "Is it really okay for me to have this?" her voice quiet and unsure that it almost made Bruce feel guilty for doing such a thing.
The oldest Wayne softly smiles at her, "Of course it is. You're a Wayne, aren't you?"
The ravenette smiles as at the card and Bruce sees her fingers brush her name. "Yeah, I guess I am." her hands carefully tracing the bold letters... "Marinette Wayne".

Contact First
2039 - Earth A narrow beam energy signal appeared aimed squarely at earth from the TRAPPIST system. The communication consisted of a layered set of repeating data over several thousand wavelengths. Over the next few months scientists discovered that the lower wavelengths carried an encoded numerical language which could then be used to interpret the more complicated messages carried on the higher wavelengths. After half a year of painstaking work the signal was fully decoded. It described a small satellite launched along a precise trajectory towards the fourth planet of our solar system. Included was a package of advanced research that humanity would need to have ready in order to receive the satellite and decelerate it safely. The alien data provided the kick that humanity needed to turn from petty squabbling and unite to explore the final frontier. Major government and corporate leaders worked together to create the framework for the United Federation of Sol. UFS spaceports went from scaffolding to daily launches in every major city around the globe. Ships floated like dandelion seeds, spreading on solar wind to grow into colonies. 2397 - Mars orbit, Egeria Station The command center was a hive of activity as checks were conducted and systems initialized. Scientists flitted by like mayflies as communicators beeped and holoscreens spat out green tinted readouts. Nervous energy was thick in the air as everyone anticipated the culmination of over three hundred years of work. Massive fusion reactors under the planet's surface thrummed with barely restrained power as energy fed into a gleaming metallic maze criss crossing the planet. Metal fingers reached up, overshadowing the mighty olympus mons and trying to grab the stars. All over the solar system, people quickly turned to look as gigantic energy lances shot from the dusty fourth planet. Two years later. The same people that clapped loudly at the successful activation of project Hermes now wait with baited breath. A silver capsule trailing bright photonic sails is captured by a net of grav beams and guided with care bordering on reverence into the station. Holoscreens across the headquarters project an image of the sleek craft settling in the bay. Data connections are established and the holoscreens blink to white. Slowly an image forms on the screen. Across the headquarters people stare in wonder as a wholly alien face stares back. "Contact established. Welcome to the universe."

Dauntless: Origins
Snow white hair, blue eyes, pale. Devil, monster, mutt, failure.This story follows one Tyr Faeron, crown prince, heir primus and mass murderer. A wrathful, angry, and lost young man that has made it his goal to hunt down the men that killed his mother - and he is on the cusp of finishing the promise he'd made before her cairn stones so many years ago. On the surface he is duplicitous, whimsical, and base of cunning - but within the depths beyond the many masks he wears, something is waiting. Waiting for an end, the end he'd come to long for, whether it be to himself or any possible threats in his vicinity. After that long labor of vengeance is completed... Nobody knows, not even him - an arrogant and otherwise solitary individual with nothing in the way of friends - only the brothers of the blackguard who follow him through life as he pursues this mission. He was born a prince, but he'd be called a disappointment - failing to manifest the great power that he was born to before being summarily discarded by his father, a 250 year old 'primus'. That word again... Men who can shatter mountains and level cities, that's what he was supposed to be. Some call them demi-gods, all Tyr sees is a poor excuse for a parent. Time had made him bitter, cruel, and arguably psychotic - seeing only enemies wherever he looks. They'd come for him, too, one day - to wipe the slate clean and make room for another - and it's his conviction to ensure that he dies while taking as many of those rats with him. This is a story about finding acceptance, growth, and understanding - from the point of view of a cold and brutal individual who wears many masks. Of someone who was born to be the greatest emperor the eastern continent has ever seen - but he failed in that. Strong, yes, but only in the context of a man - Tyr's magic is weak. His convictions are weak. He has been made a beast of instinct by loss and a constant confronting of his own impotency in the face of his father. A mythos that stretches across planes, of magic, a pantheon of cruel gods. Of someone who's dedicated his entire mind to the art of killing a man, and none to living a normal childhood or coming to understand friendship, empathy, or compassion. The first five years of his life a mystery, a hole none have ever been willing to fill, leaving him warped and twisted. His formative years gone and what must've been most of his humanity along with it. Now 17, he is on the cusp of leaving the city he'd never been permitted to leave for what might be the first time in his life. Always searching, though he won't know what for, for some time. An episodic that follows experience and symbolism rather than a never ending series of battles - where the conflict lay in constantly searching for wholeness in lieu of great villains or heroes. This is where it all started, the origin, the tale told a million times - and yet it hadn't been, 'reality' is tricky like that. The greatest lie ever told by the tongue that speaks is that any of this was real at all.
