11 – Charge!
Castle charged forward like a bull. He knew that if he stayed out from her again he was going to pay for it. He pulled one of his knives, not wanting to be barehanded against her. He had to get close, grapple, use his body weight to get her down, hold her down. He didn’t […]
12 – Combat
Frank rolled to his feet and saw … A flash of motion, as Mockingbird landed on the walkway in front of him, several dozen paces away. The sway had been caused by her landing. He drew one of his knives and raced towards her, intent on stopping her cold before she realised he was there. […]
13 – The Big Choice
Punisher pulled out an incendiary grenade. It was sleek black matte one, with no identifying marks on it. He’d probably made it himself. It was likely immensely powerful. “No. Damn it, do not do this,” Mockingbird hissed at him, dragging her badly bleeding hand into her chest, hoping to staunch the flow. “Not in here, […]
14 – Finale 1
Desperately, Mockingbird leapt towards it… Despite the blood, the pain, her hand reached out…and caught the bottom of the grenade right at the end of her leap. She went headfirst over the railing, tumbling towards the ground but she managed to weakly bat the grenade back at Punisher as she fell. Spinning in mid air […]
15 – Finale 2
Desperately, Mockingbird leapt towards it… And slashed out with her remaining baton as she went head first over the railing, tumbling and spinning to land on the hard floor below. One knee flexed till it touched the ground. Super hero landing, she cheered to herself. She felt the baton make contact with the grenade, sending […]
2- Mockingbird Makes A Mistake
“Are the rest of the savior scouts around here or am I actually going to have a good day?” Bobbi clamped her mouth shut, staring at Castle. She wished, desperately, that she’d called for backup before going in on this situation. But, at the same time, she was really really glad Cap and the team […]
Oh, Captain ….
TW: Suicide Folks this one is a little harrowing. It was hard to write and I find it hard to reread. I apologize for any typos or format errors. I couldn’t go over it that many times. I was a lonely child in a house full of living things. Seven siblings, two parents, family friends, […]
The MCU: Resembling the Real World
(I swear, my next post will not be about comic books. Maybe.) “Those arguing that BLACK PANTHER is the first MCU movie to A) be about something and B) take place in something resembling the real world are enabling cultural amnesia…” So, the above tweet thread popped into my time line the other day (I […]
Mockingbird and Hawkeye, Part 1
Mockingbird and Hawkeye: A love letter to love Super heros hate marriage. Or at least the men who run the major superhero comics hate it. Joe Quesada famously obliterated Spiderman’s charming, logically consistent marriage to Mary-Jane (though the current “Renew Your Vows” series may correct that mistake). DC lost the award winning Batwoman creative team […]
