《The Gotham Ghost King》Nico's Hurt (Again)
Advertisement
"NICO! YOU FREAKING IDIOT!!! HOW HARD IS IT FOR YOU TO LISTEN TO WHAT I SAY FOR ONCE?!?!?"
Rex continued to yell as he landed inside of an abandoned warehouse on the edge of Gotham.
"IF YOU WERN'T SO INJURED RIGHT NOW I'D SLAP YOU UPSIDE THE HEAD. Either way, it seems you broke your arm, and you are REALLY LUCKY THAT YOU DIDN'T CRACK YOUR FLIPPING SPINE IN HALF!!!"
Nico mumbles incoherently. "It'll be fine... You can always... Fix me right up-"
Nico's eyes fluttered shut as he fell asleep from exhaustion and pain.
Will swiftly set the bones in Nico's arm and wrapped them, setting them up for correct healing.
"You idiot. You're already maxed on ambrosia for the next week, and if I want to get back to the Wayne house, I can't waste any more energy," Will glanced up, looking at the sun, "It's 1 pm right now, I gave you a dose of painkillers at 5am or so, the dosage is every 6 hours (not factual), so it should be out of his system by not"
Will began to pull items out of his medical bag, continuing to mutter to himself.
"He hasn't eaten since lunch yesterday, and the painkillers are mostly out of his system... Need to keep in mind a natural sleep schedule on mind for when I get back... Definitely can't excuse 24 hours... Maybe 12 hours could work? No. That's too long... 10 hours? Actually 7. 7 should be good. An hour to walk back, and six inside the house."
Will pulled out his supplies; a syringe, aseptic wipes, a set of vials, a pen and a small black spiral notebook labeled 'Nico's Medical History' in Ancient Greek.
"Nico's weight hasn't changed since yesterday... But considering the number of painkillers he's on... This should do."

After double and triple checking his work, Will carefully placed the exact amount of drugs into a syringe, before sterilizing a spot on his arm and injecting the contents of the syringe.
Nico's eyes fluttered open. "Everything's fine Neeks. Just a little more painkiller. Just sleep."
Nico's eyes fluttered back shut as he passed into unconsciousness, and within minutes, Will had everything packed back into his bag.
"Hm. I can't put Neeks into my storage. His eyes can't take it, but I also can't carry him around like this, or it'll seem like I'm moving a dead body. Maybe- No. I ran out of those teleportation spells that Lou gave me. Oh!"
Rifling through his bag again, Will pulled out a pale pink, marble-like object. Breaking it over Nico, the unconscious boy began to shrink until he was the same height as a marble.
Placing his boyfriend into a test tube, Will slipped him into the side of his bag and began the hour-long walk towards the manor, not realizing as a figure in black began to follow him.

A few days ago
*Wayne Manor*
"I can't believe that Joker held a breakout again. AT 1 IN THE MORNING!!!" Dick said, as he walked out of his room and headed towards the kitchen.
"You idiot. There are civilians in the house too." Jason said, slamming his bedroom door closed behind himself.
"Oh yeah. I kinda forgot. What's that paper on the fridge?"
Dick walked towards the coffee machine, while Jason pulled the note off of the fridge.
"Will and I decided to take a trip. We'll be back in a few days. Signed Nico." Jason read.
"They're out again? I wonder why. I don't think they've even spent 72 hours here yet."

"Eh. It's not that weird."
"Says the person who's been kicked out the house 93 times and counting."
"You little-"
"HEY!!! We can run daylight patrols today!!!" Dick exclaimed, ready to start sprinting for his life.
"...You are so lucky right now. I'll get you later."
"Only if you can catch me!!!" Dick said, taking off into the rest of the house, while still keeping the coffee from spilling.

Tales of Ordinary, Completely Unremarkable Contractors
"Where life had no value, death, sometimes, had its price. That is why the mercenaries appeared." - Artur Xerxes, in A Century of Disappointment: Memoirs of a Travelling Dwarf It's never too difficult to land contracts for a set very specialised skills in a continent teeming with werewolves, vampires, giant leopards, undead and, god forbid, elves. The difficulty comes when these contractors find themselves suffocated in the dense atmosphere of this world's rigid - and mostly unfair - rules; death, suffering and misfortune await those unwilling to sacrifice to bend these in their favour. In this non-linear plot, you will observe a scarred and deformed farm girl cashing her first bounty posters, a seemingly ordinary barmaid at a tavern in the bustling centre of a sprawling, corrupt city and an enigmatic leader of a firm specialising in dealings any other would consider suicidal. Watch them all take everything to the next level at every available opportunity, and then feel dread at the thought that this still might not be enough to halt the physical embodiment of doom about to do what it does best Please, feel free to review and comment! Any sort of feedback can help me become a better writer and write more engaging stories for you. I used to update once every 3-5 days, but this rewrite is taking much too long...I do hope it will be worth it.

Paternum: A Superhero Story
When Quinn finds an experimental superpower-granting costume in their parents’ attic, they didn’t expect to be drawn into a web of superhuman intrigue, but their discovery serves as the catalyst for that conspiracy to slowly unravel. At it’s heart, Paternum is an extended coming-of-age story for the main character as they become a superhero, in a world with more reasonable stakes and less powerful heroes than many superheroic worlds. Themes include what art means to different people, and what it means to be a patron, whether as a sponsor, a parent, or a supporter. I consider Paternum‘s primary influences to be the various versions of Spider-Man, J. C. McCrae’s own superhero story Worm, and Drew Hayes’ story SuperPowereds. I hope that fans of such stories can find something to enjoy in mine as well. Paternum is primarily hosted on my website (thevoidwrites.com) where it updates weekly in groups of scenes totalling approximately 2000 words. Here on Royal Road, it will update once daily with one scene at a time, but only after each act is completed on the home site - the next batch of updates is scheduled to begin on February 5th. There is a discord channel for discussion (discordapp.com/invite/QFMM6yA), and you can vote for Paternum on topwebfiction (topwebfiction.com/vote.php?for=paternum) as well. Finally, you can buy the first book of Paternum, The Swift Uplifting Rush, in a couple different ways - as an ebook through Amazon, or directly from me for a discounted price, or as a physical paperback from Amazon. Buying the book will give you access to Drawing Hands, an exclusive arc that won't ever be published on either my site or Royal Road.
