Will managed to keep Nico in the infirmary for a grand total of two days. At the moment when it hit 48 hours, a group of Hephaestus campers hammered the last nail into the new plaque on the wall, but they ran when an angry Nico stormed through the doorway, even though he was limping.
"I WIL BE LEAVING THIS INFIRMARY TODAY WILLIAM SOLACE OR SO HELP ME—"
Will leaned against the doorway, eyes closed and completely relaxed.
"You won't be going anywhere."
"AND WHY NOT?!?"
"You're limping and you can't even move the shadow of a marble," Will deadpanned, still relaxed against the doorway.
"YES I CAN!!!"
Will opened one eye and smirked. "Prove it," he challenged.
Nico flung his left hand out, and his shadow wavered, before his fingertips turned darker.
"Are you done yet," Will questioned.
"No."
Nico tried to fling his injured right hand out, but Will grabbed his wrist and lightly yanked Nico towards him.
Nico stumbles into Will's chest, who lowered his head and whispered in Nico's ear.
"Stop trying now or else I will drag you by the collar back into the infirmary and tie you to the f*cking bedposts for the next week."
Nico's breath hitched.
"Now, are you going to go back in that room nicely or will I have to make you?"
Nico groaned loudly, but started to slowly and dramatically limp back into the infirmary.
"Wait. I feel like we are missing something." Nico said.
"If you can't remember, it must not be important," Will said calmly as they walked inside.
*Meanwhile in Gotham*
"WHERE THE F*CK ARE THOSE TWO?!?!?!?!?"

The Ms. Megaton Man™ Maxi-Series
When studious Clarissa James began her sophomore year at Arbor State University, she never expected to befriend the former See-Thru Girl, or for megaheroes and megavillains from Megatropolis to turn her quiet college campus upside down. But when Clarissa discovers she has her own megapowers, Megaton Man, Yarn Man, and Kozmik Kat must help Ms. Megaton Man uncover her origin secrets and fulfill her destiny as America's newest Nuclear-Powered Hero! Don Simpson is the cartoonist-creator of the satirical comic book series Megaton Man and Bizarre Heroes, and the sci-fi graphic novel Border Worlds. Says Don, "Clarissa was introduced as a very minor character back in Megaton Man #4 (June 1985). Little did I know she would take over my imagination, or become so central to my sprawling imaginary world. Her smart, savvy, sassy tone makes her the perfect narrator for these never-before-told stories and ongoing adventures, as she meets these characters for the first time." Mature themes include sexual relationships, drug use, and some strong language. New chapter every Tuesday 10:00 am EST US (15:00 UTC).

Thank you for reading, I have to start with that. The feedback and encouragement from RoyalRoad users helped me finish my book. I left the unedited version up as I worked on editing and making it a little more polished. However the time has come for me to put it on Amazon and hopefully let other people read the story. If you have Kindle unlimited you should be able to read the story there. If you just want to order an ebook version you can do that as well. I should have a paperback version coming up. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07T46B4NM Again thank you for reading and helping me on this journey. It hasn't ended however, my second book which I'm hoping to do well enough that reading the first isn't completely necessary, is still being worked on here, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/24562/mortis-operandi-2--terms-and-conditions . Any feedback, comments, even critism is welcome as I work on giving you the best version of my story. I'll leave the first two chapters up here, unless Amazon says otherwise. There should be enough differences to avoid issues though. THANK YOU! Thank you! thank you! __________________________________ Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop. When a possible recall sets events into motion, the company must pivot in a new paradigm of full circle Dungeon service. The Goblin Eft No-toes has a solution that entwines ex-adventurer Elric into the business of death. *Note the above statements are forward looking statements. In no way do they promote or suggest that Mortis Operandi will project greater sales or revenue. Understand that investing in a company does involve some risks, and possibly much rewards.

Their small village is rallying toward war with a merciless empire, and Seth must know the truth about his teacher's role in this sharply-turning series of events if he wants to stop this... and settle their past.
