Gotham's Dead End Bar Ch.69
— Sean —
“-As I said, Seattle was the big time for Shadowrunners,” I continued. “It was the perfect blend of corpo and criminal, tech and magic. Those gray areas, along with the fact that it was the last bastion of UCAS on the West Coast, meant the Shadows of Seattle were extensive and deep. T...

Comms buzzed back and forth as she kept them all connected on Overwatch. Here, not nearly as many people could challenge a netrunner in her prime. But those who could…? They tended to be much, much more dangerous as a result. Like, ‘AI past the Blackwall’ dangerous...

The chance to know his father was the greatest gift, the best blessing that Su Xing could ask for. He’d dreamed of it for as long as he could remember. Since he was just a babe on Mother’s knee. Way back then, Mother would tell him stories. Stories of a man who shook up the Heavens w...

— Diana —
Diana was mid-flight when it happened. Just traveling, truthfully. Her presence had been requested to deal with an ancient foe. A monster from her own mythology. Such things happened now and again. Currently, a minotaur (thankfully, not The Minotaur) had managed to set itself loos...

I’d been clotheslined. Bamboozled. Flabbergasted. Dumbfounded. Stricken and staggered. Completely and utterly. And I really should’ve seen it coming.
“STEP-BABIES, STEP-BABIES, STEP-BABIES~!” Didi squealed, practically chanting her excitement for Heaven and Earth to hear.

The reveal of ‘when’ Didi and I ended up in the world I knew was certainly surprising. It also promised to be very, very entertaining. 800 years in the past, well before I was reborn here, and another 200-odd more until this iteration of myself would ascend past t...

Traveling out past the Source Wall and through the Void Between to other realities and clusters could’ve been instantaneous… But really, where was the fun in that? Every vacation needed downtime. To relax, to comfortably simmer, to truly appreciate the break from it all you wer...

— Kara —
Mid-flight, Kara was forced to duck and dive. A beam of electrified, half-solidified, and widely varied radiation swept through the space she just was a moment later. Even her Kryptonian physiology would’ve had trouble standing up to it. Especially since the monster seemed to be learning,...

In yet another life, war came for Sean at his end. A crusade from the blackest of Hells ravaged everything sacred and Living. The 13th of its kind — an ominously auspicious number — it threatened to bring the galaxy itself to its knees. Watching the end of that life of Sean’s, Didi witnessed Death, Despair, and Destruct...

How long had this fight been raging? Didi didn’t know. Perhaps she couldn’t know, and for one such as her, that was a terrifying prospect. All she could say for certain was that her beloved was TIRED.

[AN: Alright. This isn’t the first return chapter of The Dead End. More like… side content. A ‘companion piece’, as the post’s title says. Omakes, but only a few. Three, I think. That’s what I have tentatively planned, at least. They’ll all be from Sean’s lives that we already know about. And mostly (I...

— Dooku —
Nar Shaddaa, Dooku of Seranno found, had never been to his tastes. It was a quagmire of ‘crime’, debased depravity, and ill-earned egos. Hutt Space bore its corruption on the surface without even the tiniest effort to hide it. A despicable thing in Dooku’s mind. And at the cen...

When Podry was born, the galaxy seemed to hold its breath. At least, that’s what he remembered his mother saying. He was still young when that story was told to him, so young, so innocent, and so sheltered from the dark truth his life would become.
Still, he remembere...

The first strokes of a masterful campaign were painted across Nar Shaddaa. It opened — as most things that were shown to a wide, wide audience — on a screen. It played out with cinematography and editing and a message that couldn’t be denied.
Propaganda was a funny thing, different everywhere it existed. So...

Sasha felt… so, so, fucking raw… But at least she wasn’t numb anymore. When Atom challenged Smasher, it was as if her whole world was raised up onto a cliff and left to fall. Nothing she could’ve done but watch.
Of course, she never lost faith. But even faith ha...

Excitement, awe, and anticipation filled the air, racing through Night City like a tidal wave. It began at the center of the city and spread outward as wildfire. The emotions didn’t rest or wane for a moment. Only grew and grew, history in the making building to a fever...

After being brought so low, we had no time to waste. We’d survived, we’d escaped, and still, there was so much to be done. Rebuilding was the Gonk Cartel’s top priority. Everything done since returning to Night City went toward that goal. The moment we crossed into the Limits, ...
