《The Gotham Ghost King》Sunshine and Angels
Advertisement
Day one of living here. Already horrible. I got back at five am, and came out of my room around seven, a time that I heard is normal for mortals. Dick was already at school, Bruce was at work, and Jason had been kicked out by Bruce before he left. Alfred offered to show me around Gotham, but I politely refused and told him I would be taking a walk.
Since then, I've dropped off sixteen criminals at the police station, fixed fifteen storefronts with duct tape and superglue, and I've taken down a small gang already. It's not even noon yet!
Day two. Yesterday all I did was wander around and take down criminals. Today the plan is to go to Camp Half-Blood and pick up Will so we can go on a date in France, and the plan is to finish the day by having a picnic on the Eiffel Tower. He had managed to get us tickets to the Eiffel Tower through the demigod underground.
Demigods that work at monuments created an underground organization where they sell tickets to the places after hours, while having descendants of Hecate set up wards and stability 'spells' around the area. Places like the Space Needle, the Torch of the Statue of Liberty, and the Louvre are open to demigods that way.
I shadow traveled to Camp Half-Blood, and the second I arrived, I got tackled onto my bed by a tall blond mess. "Neeks!" he shouted.
"Will. I've only been gone for three hours!"
"I know, but still! I missed you! Now eat. I've got fruit for us to eat for a bit."
I picked up an orange on the table and said "I'll give you five drachmas if you can catch an orange piece in your mouth."

"That's easy!"
"Do it then."
I chucked the orange piece at him, which hit him in the middle of his forehead.
"No fair! You didn't warn me!" he exclaimed.
"Excuses. Heads up!"
The orange slice flew across the bed and landed right between his eyes.
"Hey! I wasn't ready yet!"
"I warned you!"
"One more try!"
I groaned and said "Fine Sunshine. One more chance. Ready?"
"Ready little angel."
This time, I threw a full orange at him, which he caught with his mouth.
"What did you do that for?" he whined.
"Do what? Warn you?"
"Throw a whole orange! Unpeeled!"
"You still caught it."
In retaliation, he chucked a wad of grapes at my forehead, which I dodged, but it was quickly followed by a pear that was flying towards my face. That managed to smack me in the forehead, but I retaliated with a handful of raspberries that stained his cheek as he jumped up and threw blueberries at me.
A few hours later we were both lying down on my bed with stains covering us and tie dyed walls surrounding us.
"You know, we have to clean this up eventually, right?" Will mutters.
I stay silent for a moment. "What if we get the Aphrodite cabin to do it because we need to get ready for our very romantic date?"
"That night actually work!" He exclaimed. "Hades, I might be able to get my siblings to help!"
"I'll go get the Aphrodite kids and you'll go get your siblings? Then we can go change and go to Paris early? Or should we change first?"
"Change first." Will says immediately. "Changing into our outfits will make us more believable. Then we can go early and pick up some food for our dinner."
"Sounds good. I'll lock up some of my stuff after we change."
Many hours later found us at the second level of the Eiffel Tower with a picnic blanket and a basket of pasteries and fruit.
"The city is beautiful, isn't it my angel?"
"It is, but do you know what's more beautiful then that sunshine?" I mumered.
"What?"
"You."
The night was spent with my boyfriend on top of the Eiffel Tower, just the two of us and a picnic for us to eat.

Transmigration Retiree
"What's that you say? I can never leave this reality ever? Good!" Ed, was a normal man in a world full of superheroes, so he didn't really have too many complaints when that first truck fell on him. After all he'd read enough comics to know that sometimes things just happen. Besides he'd been getting on in years when it happened, and his life till then, though lonely, had more or less been fully lived. The second time around when that one guy pushed him off a cliff for a chalice of immortal ambrosia, wasn't so cool though, and then there was that third time when he was just getting used to life as a lady, and that crazy goddess showed up out of nowhere and started ranting about purging the demon menace....then some other stuff happened and he briefly got to go back to earth before falling into a coma where he adventured in the world of dreams. Then the aliens came, and the dream ended and he was suddenly stuck being the AI Overmind for the whole damn star systm. The aliens died, and because he was all mechanical and what-not he just kind of had to keep on going. Forced to continue collecting the materials and data from countless worlds that were destoryed in the process. Then there was that whole war with the gods business that followed...mostly because of all that world destroying he did because of some fairly faulty programming. Anyway, thankfully someone pulled a "rocks fall" on that whole curfuffle, because by the time he was in control of himself again, things had long gotten out of hand. Now the powers-that-be tell him that he must spend the rest of his existence in single lonely section of the cosmos. Trapped in a single portion of a single universe. And now he weeps...No worries though, these are tears of joy. Hopefully this final unending existence he's been given will be the quiet life he's been looking for. A Man who's seen everything gets abducted by aliens and is converted into an AI that sits at the helm of a fleet of alien ships and behind the computer systems for most their planets. This Alien AI goes to war with the gods and ends up nearly destroying an entire reality. The Angels condemn the troublemaking AI to life as normal child on a far off world....All truth said, the "AI" couldn't be happier. His life's been far too interesting(read: Scary, Inconvenient and Painful) in his opinion and he could do with a bit of normalcy.
