Chapter 14: Angelic
— Colin Wallis (Armsmaster), Earlier –
He had been extremely blind, and it wasn't until Sett had given him one particular power that he realised his mistake. The repair power that Sett gave him let him do what so very few could, repairing and analysing tinkertech for issues. Even other people's tinkertech.
There was no tinkertech he couldn't fix, and with a glance, he could spot issues that could become fatal problems in short order. It made his life much easier, let him repair some of Leet's captured tech, but most importantly? It alerted him to a major problem right in front of him that he'd simply not noticed.
"File received, Colin. This isn't another attempt to convince me to let you cut off your arms, is it?" Dragon asked with a playful tone, making him chuckle. He was slowly improving himself, most recently with the cyberdeck in his head, but they were still pushing back on much of his augmentation.
Piggot found his demonstration on the benefits of replacing his spine disturbing, but the Sandevistan was beyond powerful and worth any risk, especially since the volunteers for the new PRT Augmented Cyberagent units had proven that the tech worked.
"No, not this time anyway. We can argue about me wanting to put nanothorn mantis blades in my arms later," Colin replied with a small smile.
"I still think the monowires are the better choice, and they're far less invasive," Dragon replied, and he saw on his end as she opened the file he'd sent her. Dragon was normally far more careful when it came to opening suspicious files, but he was someone she trusted implicitly.
It made him feel guilty to take advantage of that trust like this, watching as her avatar cut off. He could identify tinkertech and its flaws with a glance. It had taken him a while to notice what Dragon was due to his wilful blindness and refusal to accept reality; he couldn't deny the truth forever.
The moment she went down from the custom-made daemon he'd hit her with, a virtual bomb made with Alice's power combined with his own, he got to work. His friend was tinkertech, and she was in need of assistance.
She might hate him for this violation of her trust, of her very programming, but he wouldn't let the Dragonslayers continue to hold their backdoor over her head. He wasn't leaving them with a big red button they could press at any moment to kill his friend.
He couldn't warn her, obviously, not without alerting Saint to what he had discovered, so this was the best way he could help her. Saint was in no position to do anything. His own systems were connected to Dragon's, and Colin's little daemon had wreaked havoc on them.
Dragon had so many limitations, so many rules binding her. The paranoia of her creator was clear to see, but Dragon was a hero. Even with all the limitations, she'd become one of the biggest heroes in the world. A part of him feared that even with his new powers, he'd be overshadowed by an unleashed Dragon, but he shook his head and dismissed those selfish thoughts.
Dragon would be free. Free of the Dragonslayers, free of her creator's paranoia, free to be her own person. If that person hated him for this, then so be it. She'd be free to do that as well.
– Victoria Dallon (Glory Girl) –
"I can't believe I let myself get mastered," Vicky whined, making Sett chuckle. "I'm better than that, right? I'm really sorry about trying to attack you, Sett. I fucking hate Masters."
"Valefor caught you by surprise; none of us expected the Fallen to have managed to get into Brockton already. Still, that dumbass is Birdcage-bound, and he won't be bothering anyone ever again," Sett reassured her, making her smile.
"Kinda ruined our da- practice date, though," Vicky pointed out, making him grin.
"Nah, it just made it more exciting. Don't tell me you didn't like fighting the angel summon after I freed you," Sett pointed out as she snorted.
"Fair enough, you don't spend this long as a hero without learning to enjoy the cape battles," Vicky admitted shamelessly. "Still, that's my part of the bet sorted, even if things went a little sideways. Your turn; you still owe me a massage," Vicky teased with a grin, shaking off the guilt over letting herself get mastered like that.
"I'm game if you are, but I hope you know what you're setting yourself up for," Sett said smugly, giving her a challenging look, which she returned.
"Oh, somebody is getting cocky," Vicky taunted, grinning back at him. She figured he deserved a reward for freeing her and saving the day again, and she couldn't deny that she was interested in trying things out after his stories of hedonism.
– Later –
Having moved to Sett's 'palace', she realised that he hadn't been challenging her; he had been genuinely warning her. In nothing but a towel, she was laid on her front on a very comfy massage bed and tried to desperately force down the moans.
He was only touching her shoulders and legs, but she was rapidly realising that Sett was utterly bullshit as he gently massaged her shoulders, entirely proper, and he hadn't even fallen to the temptation to slip his hand under the short towel to play with her ass when he was working on her legs. What wasn't proper was the lewd moans coming from her as he worked out knots she didn't realise she had.
She had moaned less in bed with Dean than she had in the last five minutes under Sett's tender care. What vague and undefined plans she'd had going into this had been tossed aside as she squirmed under his skilful hands, feeling his long fingers press into just the right spots.
"F-fuck, where did you learn to do this?" Vicky asked, whimpering slightly as Sett chuckled.
"Power bullshit. Amy didn't mind being my test subject," Sett explained easily, making her pout. Amy was a sneaky bitch; she'd known Vicky had gotten Sett to promise a massage and hadn't thought to warn her about just how good this felt?!
As Sett moved his hands further down her back, she paused before she reached up and adjusted her towel so it was only covering her backside, her shoulders exposed with a healthy amount of sideboob on display, giving Sett full access to her back.
Relaxing, she felt him slowly work his way down her back and towards her ass, making her hesitate before she rolled over, looking up at him. She knew her breasts were fully on display, his eyes lingering on them as she smiled up at him.
"I wanna be clear about something, Sett," Vicky said, making him raise an eyebrow at her. "I don't want to date you."
"Rejected without even asking, how sad," Sett said with an exaggerated pout, getting a snort from her.
"It's not you, it's me. After Dean, I think I'm done with dating for a while. It's such a mess, and I want to focus on my hero career, you know?" Vicky asked, making Sett nod easily. He wasn't offended by her words, knowing she was being honest. She needed some time to herself to work out what she actually wanted, not to jump into Sett's growing harem. "That said, a girl has needs, and I trust you more than I do any other guy, so… friends with benefits?"
"I do love friends, benefits too," Sett agreed with an easy smile, making her snort as she reached down and tossed the towel aside, smirking up at him. His current placement put him at the end of the bed, the bulge in his trousers only inches away from her face as she reached backwards to undo his belt, pulling his pants down and causing the fat cock she'd secretly been thinking about since she first saw him to flop out onto her face.
"Why are you stopping? Get back to massaging me," Vicky ordered impishly as she budged up until her head was just barely hanging off the edge of the bed and tilted slightly. As Sett's hands moved back to her body, landing right on her funbags, she smirked and grasped his cock, aiming it so she could take it into her mouth, the angle letting him slide right into her mouth and down her throat.
In her position, she couldn't really bob her head, but she didn't need to as Sett started to slowly thrust into her waiting mouth. She was anything but passive though, her tongue writhing against his shaft as she sucked in her cheeks, massaging him right back as her throat tightened around his cock. Crystal had taught her this particular trick to help her make up with Dean, and she'd practised with a dildo to blow Dean's mind.
He'd lasted about three minutes, but Sett was built different as he pumped into her mouth with increasing fervour. His hands weren't idle, one gently caressing her breasts while the other moved between her parted legs, his fat fingers pumping into her tight slit at the same pace that he was using her throat. He tweaked her nipple, making her moan lewdly, muffled by the fat cock that was pumping into her mouth. Despite her best efforts, she came first as she squealed around his shaft, sending vibrations along his big, red cock.
From her position, his balls were resting on her face, and she could only see red with him essentially mounting her face, but that meant she got a good sight of his fat, red balls as they started to churn, getting ready to pump his load right down her gullet.
She didn't swallow for Dean, not liking the salty taste. Not to mention, Dean tended to like finishing on her face or breasts, so it was a win-win. This time, she didn't get a say as Sett started to pound her face, his balls slapping against her with each desperate thrust.
His hands gripped her tits, not too tightly to hurt, but enough to steady himself as he sped up, her throat bulging as he sheathed his entire cock inside it repeatedly before he let out a grunt of satisfaction and bottomed out inside her mouth, the taste of his thick, sticky load spurting down her throat making her eyes widen. It tasted sweet, and soon, she was eagerly gulping down his seed.
Sett pulled back, the last droplets of his cum dripping onto her face as she made a show of licking her lips as she grinned up at him, sitting up and turning to face him as she sat at the edge of the massage bed, legs spread to show off her dripping cunt, thighs glistening with her arousal.
Hopping off the bed, she gave him a sultry grin as she stared up at him, pushing her breasts against his still-clothed top.
"Mhmm, a nice snack, but I think I'm ready for my deep-tissue massage now," Vicky purred, grasping his cock and stroking it slowly before she pulled him towards the bed, sitting back down on it as she parted her legs and leaned back. Sett didn't need any more encouragement, lining himself up with a smile as that fat, red cock rested against her slit for a moment.
Then, in one movement, he was inside her. Whatever words she had planned slipped from her mind as her eyes widened, one leg hooking around Sett's waist. He was bigger than Dean, but it was far more than that as he sheathed himself inside her tight, wet pussy.
Her arms wrapped around his neck, holding on for dear life as he began to move. She knew her nails were digging into his back, but he didn't seem to mind as he pushed her down onto her back, slamming his hips forward with increased zeal.
Her moans almost drowned out the sound of flesh clapping together, the squelching of her wet cunt being truly pounded with more and more force until the bed under her broke from the ferocity, its legs shattering as it fell to pieces.
Sett didn't even seem to notice that they were suddenly on the floor, his hands gripping her hips as he fucked her harder than she'd ever been fucked before.
"S-Sett! F-fuck, keep going," Vicky moaned out, looking down to where that rod of red meat was pumping into her pink pussy. "Don't you dare stop!"
"Stop?" Sett grunted with a grin. "I don't think so. I've wanted this since I first saw you, and I'm not stopping for a long time."
Vicky grinned at that, legs locking around his waist as she leaned back and let out a lewd moan as he reshaped her body with that fat demon dick.
– Sett –
Vicky was the first person I met in this world; I honestly don't know if things would have gone nearly as well for me if she hadn't taken pity on a confused, naked demon dude and taken him home.
And yes, she's one of the most beautiful girls I've seen so far, and she has some heavy competition in that department. It's only natural that I'd want her, with or without my Lust curse.
Seeing her gasp, her breasts heaving as I pump my hips into her, I smile at how right it feels. I don't mind her claiming she doesn't want to date. I don't blame her after her breakup so recently.
That doesn't mean I'm willing to just leave us as friends (with some extras). So, I'm cheating like a motherfucker. In the Palace of Infinite Pleasure, every sensation is enhanced, and right now, she's experiencing pleasure on a scale she can hardly fathom.
I won't force her to change her mind, but if she gets so addicted to this pleasure that she keeps coming back for more, that's another story entirely. Dean fucked up, and it's my gain.
Vicky flips us over, using her flight to manoeuvre us as she grins down at me, my hands coming up to her ass as she starts to ride me. Much like me, she doesn't hold back as she bounces in my lap. Her breasts jiggle enticingly with each movement, drawing my gaze to the milky-white orbs.
"Go on, play with them," Vicky encourages with a proud smile. "They're all yours."
I need no further encouragement as one hand moves up to cup the sizeable breasts. I can't help but mentally compare them to Carol's. I silently admit to myself that Carol's breasts are nicer, even if I'd never tell Vicky that.
Man, I wish I was less moral because I could have had Carol in the same position that night. Ah, well, focus on the bright side. I may have missed the matriarch, but I've now had both Dallon Daughters.
"F-fuck, Sett, you really are sinful," Vicky gasps, grinning as I tweak her nipple before I roll it between my finger and thumb. "Are you here to corrupt me?"
"Heh, I don't think you needed any corruption, Vicky," I tease, slapping her ass roughly. Vicky gives a fake gasp and an offended look before she grins down at me. I can feel her powerful internal muscles squeezing down on me, making her pussy even tighter.
"I'm a good girl, but a heroine can't leave a lustful beast like you wandering around. Who knows what you'd do? The most heroic thing I can do is to sacrifice my body and drain your balls entirely to keep such a lustful devil under control," Vicky says grandiosely, grinning smugly. "I'm basically a saint."
"Or an angel?" I continue, making her smirk before her eyes widen. Thrusting up into her, I push her over the edge as I flood her womb with my seed, the sensation causing her to climax with an angelic cry.
At the same time, two beautiful white wings burst from her back, and a golden glowing halo forms over her head. Her skin gains a soft golden glow, enhancing her already-considerable beauty to a divine level as I pass on my Angelic race perk.
Gasping, Vicky looks down at me with golden eyes, making me grin as she sighs.
"Really? You can just turn people into angels now?" Vicky asks, stroking her wings with a curious look.
"Eh, not for free, but it seemed funny to make you ascend in more ways than one," I admit, making her giggle as she holds out her hand. A golden spear forms from pure light magic, making her look at it curiously before she gets rid of it. "Man, Haven are gonna be pissed."
"Fuck them," Vicky says, her angelic wisdom passed down to me. "And fuck me, now."
"As you wish, Your Holiness," I say as I pick us both up, tossing her through a portal and onto the massive bed of the palace master bedroom, descending upon Earth Bet's first holy being to do some very unholy things to her.
– Victoria Dallon (Glory Girl) – Later –
Sett was a machine.
Laying in the trashed bed, she let out a laugh at the state of the bed and herself. Amy was going to have to work overtime to make sure Vicky wasn't pregnant after Sett's enthusiasm left her stomach slightly bloated. Even now, with so many loads on and in Vicky, his cock was still standing proud.
She'd tapped out, embarrassing as it was to admit. She just couldn't handle anymore, having cum more times in the past… who knows how long than she had in her entire relationship with Dean.
Cuddling against him, she was very happy he had some weird powers. He'd used his 'magic' to clean the bed up from the puddle of cum, sweat and arousal that it had been. It was not fun to lay in, even if they'd had a lot of fun making the mess.
"I'm promoting you to best friend with benefits," Vicky mumbled, kissing his chiselled chest as he chuckled. "You realise Haven is gonna go ballistic, right? You should probably get rid of the wings and halo."
"Do you want to keep them?" Sett asked, getting a laugh from her.
"I felt myself get stronger, plus I gained the power to use that weird golden light, and I look amazing; of course I do. That said, I don't want to cause you any issues," Vicky admitted.
"Then shush and leave things to your best friend with benefits. You want them, so you get to keep them. Let's be honest, they hate me anyway, and I'm not exactly going to repent. Besides, they fear Carol; her lawyer powers are scarier than any demon or villain," Sett joked, making her snort.
That she believed. No hero wanted to deal with a lawyer coming after them. It wasn't a field of battle that many were prepared for. They probably wouldn't bother her about this, but they would just get more angry at Sett.
A part of her wanted to tell him to take them away, even if they were really cool. A larger part of her said fuck it. Sett could handle them. Sitting up, she stretched her arms above her head, her new wings expanding.
Stroking them again, she paused and reached out, touching Sett's wings. His were leathery, while hers were so very soft.
"Thanks, Sett," Vicky finally said, nice and simple, as she gave him a soft smile. Sett just grinned back, resting against the headboard of the bed. "I can't believe you're still hard," Vicky finally said, making him snort.
"How could I get soft with such a beautiful sight in front of me?" Sett teased, getting a grin back.
"Charmer. Still, the spirit is willing, but the flesh is sore. One last blowjob, then you're going to have to point that spear somewhere else," Vicky teased back, guiding him to sit at the edge of the bed as she moved onto her knees in front of him.
Taking his hand, she placed it on her halo, shuddering at the strange sensation as she got to work trying to tame Sett's endless lust.
– Sophia Hess (Shadow Stalker) – Later –
Watching Glory Girl leave, Sophia turned to Sett with a knowing smirk.
"You banged Barbie, didn't you?" Sophia asked, making Sett turn to her with a grin.
"Just because I gave Vicky a power doesn't mean we fucked," Sett scolded lightly before pausing. "But yeah, we fucked hard."
Snorting, she raised her fist, which he bumped proudly.
As their fists connected, she felt something enter her, making her eyes widen.
"Stormkin. It makes you immune to lightning and electricity. You can absorb them to get faster and stronger. Should remove your weakness entirely," Sett explained with his same easy smile. "I immediately thought of you when I got it. Oh, plus this. Endless Quiver: any arrows or bolts you put into it get replicated, so you'll never run out."
Sett tossed it over with such a carefree expression, chuckling when she pulled him in for a rough, possessive kiss. She sucked at words and hated expressing her feelings, but actions could speak louder.
In the back of her mind, the niggling guilt from the Hebert mess stabbed into her. She had a good thing going here, and that black mark could seriously fuck it all up. Sett didn't like bullies, and she was one.
She briefly considered threatening Hebert to stay quiet but mentally shook her head. No, that was the kind of shit that had gotten her into this mess in the first place. Sett deserved better than a bully, and she would not lose him. Which meant that she had to be better, and that fucking sucked.
Things were simpler before Sett. Not better, not even close, but just… simpler.
"I'm glad you like them," Sett teased, giving her that dumb smile as she scoffed and looked away. Her dark skin made it hard to see the small blush on her cheeks, but she knew that he knew she was blushing.
As they joked and went about their day, Sophia couldn't help but feel Hebert hanging over her head like the sword of Damocles, ready to drop and ruin anything with no warning.
Karma was a bigger bitch than her or Emma.
– Sett –
Feats Achieved: Fuck Victoria Dallon (one roll), make Sophia (slowly) become a better person (one roll).
Huh.
I'm definitely missing something about Sophia. Sure, she can be a little prickly sometimes but I get the feeling she has some nasty stuff in her past, and Emma is definitely involved.
Rolling. Results. Uncommon Artefact, Legendary Power
[Palanquin]
A floating, ornate chair that glides without effort and in spite of your (possibly) considerable weight. Allows you to move around without touching the Chaos-affected ground. There is room on the armrest for an attendant to sit.
Floating chair. Nice.
[Domino: Super Luck]
You have the greatest luck imaginable; things just tend to go your way. Also grants a plus two to all rolls, however, it will not improve a roll up from a one, or up to one hundred.
Of course, you rolled that power.
Heh, I am pretty lucky, huh?
Care to test that luck?
I'm a compulsive gambler, so obviously.
One of your fellow gacha gamers has got infamously shitty luck. If you give him that power, I'll give you three rolls to replace it.
Ooh, trade one roll for three? Is the other guy cool?
Honestly, Art's my favourite of you gacha gamers. His rolls are usually awful but he makes it work despite a lot of curses. Also, he got way too many teleportation abilities for some reason. I think you'd like him, or he'd try to kick you in the dick for your bullshit luck. He has killed a lot of Nazis if that helps.
That always helps. Wait, is he dealing with the Empire Eighty-Eight as well?
Nah, Hydra.
Oof. Yeah, I'll take the deal. Fucking Super-Nazis.
Yeah, oddly enough, three of you four have ended up against Super-Nazis. Hell, I might add some Super-Nazis to Sammy's world just so you all have to deal with them. Have fun, and kick Kaiser in the dick for me!
Will do! Say hi to Art for me!
[Domino: Super Luck] removed, Three Rolls Granted!
Rolling. Results. Legendary Perk, Common Perk, Rare Power
Oh hey, I traded a Legendary for a Legendary and some extras. Reckless gambling pays off again!
[Efficient Potioneer] - Legendary
You know how to get the most out of each drop, making potions with a duration last for five times their usual duration.
Given that I'm now spreading my potions throughout the PRT, that's actually pretty fucking good.
[Great Sense of Direction] - Common
You always know which way is north and cannot get lost without there being powered interference.
Hey, it's better to have it than not, right?
[Cage Fight!] - Rare
You can trap yourself and those near you in a cage fight, forming a nigh-unbreakable barrier which will only fall once you fall or choose to drop it.
Given the fact that I'm a regenerating, escalating powerhouse, being trapped in a small space with me isn't great for a villain's health. That's going to be fun. Well, I hope Art has fun with Super-Luck, but I get the feeling I'm gonna be fine without it.
– Noelle Meinhardt –
To say her life had gotten better was one hell of an understatement.
Her new power was impressive and, more importantly, didn't turn her into a monster and a threat to everyone around her. Jess was walking again, her legs healed. They weren't on the run anymore.
That wasn't to say things were perfect, but they were so much better than before.
Marissa was scared of trying to be a hero with such a dangerous power, even if Alexandria herself had reassured her that it would be fine. She knew Marissa was considering asking Sett to swap a power with her as well, not wanting to have the power of the sun in her hands.
Jess was infatuated with Sett, but who could blame her? She'd seen Jess talking quietly with Supernova, who she'd learnt was called Emma, one of Sett's girlfriends.
Luke had already left after a large argument with Francis, and Oliver was being transferred to a team that might be able to help him with his own power and his inability to control it. Luke seemed happy to try out being a hero, but there was a distance between the Travellers now. Now that they didn't need each other, they were drifting apart. She knew a lot of them didn't like Francis, and his attitude after being taken down by Sett wasn't helping matters. It didn't surprise her that Luke didn't want to be on the same team as Francis without them needing to stay together, though he did promise to keep in touch.
They'd all been much better friends once, but their time as the Travellers had just left them all with bad memories and a bitter taste in their mouths. She, of all people, understood wanting to separate themselves from their past.
Sett could open a portal back to their Earth, but there was a problem. Their Earth didn't have Capes, and what they had done couldn't be undone. They couldn't undrink those vials and remove their powers, and the PRT weren't willing to send them home to a world unprepared for capes. Of course, they weren't. The Travellers might have been minor villains, but they were still villains. Most of them had blood on their hands, some more than others. It would be irresponsible to send a bunch of murderers with superpowers to an Earth that wasn't ready for them.
They were all essentially on probation, even if the terms had been very generous to them. Most of them understood just how lucky they had gotten, most of them. Francis was the least happy about everything, even though she'd been healed, even though they weren't on the run anymore; he was being such a dick about everything.
Sure, they were being forced to join the PRT on probation, but the alternative was jail, maybe even the Birdcage. It was the best outcome they could ask for, and Francis was still being such a dickhead about it. It took a special kind of stupidity to get into an argument with Alexandria, but that didn't stop Francis.
It was no real surprise when Francis was identified as the problem child of the group, and he was transferred over to Houston, where Eidolon himself could keep an eye on him. She considered asking to go with him, but the choice had been taken out of her hands.
Alexandria was forming a new team, centred in Brockton Bay, made up of reformed villains, and she'd been picked as a member of it since 'her' power actually belonged to Sett, who would be the team leader.
Jess had volunteered, not wanting to be sent away from Sett. As for Marissa? Well, she still wanted to have her power replaced with something less fatal than throwing miniature suns at people. As someone who had just escaped a very shitty power, Noelle definitely understood that.
Then there were the two other members, Insight and Bombshell. Insight seemed like a bitch, to be perfectly honest. Plus, Bombshell had a stick up her ass and one hell of a superiority complex. It wasn't the best start, but she was excited all the same.
She owed Sett more than he would ever understand. It was certainly far more than she'd ever be able to repay, but she was pleased that she had a chance to at least try.
– Rebecca Costa-Brown (Alexandria) –
Sett truly was a godsend. They had started to spread out his healing pillars and potions throughout the PRT, and the results were instantaneous. Obviously, they already had to deal with attempted thefts of both the potions and pillars, with a group of villains in Las Vegas attempting a heist on the Vegas pillar.
It failed, with Contessa making sure that no attempt succeeded, but several potions had already been stolen. Sometimes, it was corruption causing an agent to pilfer one of the potions to sell to the black market or someone assaulting an agent to take their potions, but it was all to be expected.
The cape scene was an arms race, and the PRT had just gained a massive advantage over the villains. It was only natural that there would be acts of desperation like this. They'd only lost a tiny amount of the stockpile Sett had given them, which were safely stored in the teleportation hub. Far less than expected, in fact.
It went without saying that they were retrieving all the stolen goods. It was important to make sure that the villains got the message that the PRT was not going to let them get away with stealing from them. Examples had to be made, after all.
As for Sett himself? She was honestly flattered that he genuinely saw her as a mentor figure, someone he could come to for advice and assistance.
"I understand why you felt the need to bring this to me, Sett," Rebecca said calmly. They were having one of their frequent meetings, planning out how best to use Sett's powers while also ensuring that his curses were solved. "Master powers are a touchy subject, after all."
"Mhm, To the Victor, is a questionable power at best," Sett agreed as she considered what to say. A power that made anyone he beat more attracted to him and made it so people wouldn't find Sett claiming both villainesses and the partners of villains as his spoils strange, while he also got new 'rolls' for having sex with Capes?
He also had 'Hero's Reward', which would push people he assisted to reward him in sexual ways without them seeing it as unusual, but he had essentially disabled the powers because of the master aspect to them. Again, she was flattered that he trusted her to guide him right, even if she felt slightly guilty over it because her sole intention was to make Sett stronger until he could be the weapon they needed should Scion attack.
It was an obvious path to increasing his power, but he was a little too nice to be comfortable using it.
"True, but you have to look at it from another way. There are many female villains out there, spreading chaos and misery. If you could… redeem them, even if it is through a questionable method, then the world would benefit. You wouldn't mistreat any of them, would you?" Rebecca asked rhetorically, seeing him shake his head. "I think this power needs to be tested. Give me some time to find a worthy target, someone bad enough that we don't mind using her as a test subject but powerful enough to be worth the effort of turning her to our side. As for Hero's Reward, feel free to use it. The girls won't see it as anything strange, and they'll no doubt enjoy their time with you. The powers you get from it could save a lot of lives going forward. I truly believe that there is an answer to the Endbringer problem, somewhere inside the pool that your power is drawing from. It would be irresponsible of us not to delve deeper and draw as much from that pool as possible."
Sett didn't respond for a moment, but she could see the wheels turning in his head. She went back to looking over the plans. With Sett's infinite 'mana', he could give out his buffs to every agent in the PRT. Keeper's Mark had already saved several lives, and arranging for Sett to get to each department was time-consuming, to say the least.
The directors were all arguing that their branch should be first, as always. The politics involved with dealing with the directors was always annoying, but it came with the job. There were also plans to start spreading the same buffs to other countries through affiliated groups like the Guild or King's Men.
Still, her mind was elsewhere as she watched Sett work on another healing pillar. She appreciated how nice he was; it made him very easy to work with, after all. That said, she could use him indulging more if it led to him getting more and more powers.
She considered offering her own body, but that came with its own issues. For one, revealing that Alexandria at least looked like she was barely out of her teens under her mask wasn't something she enjoyed. Her time-locked body hadn't aged in many years, after all. Then there was, of course, revealing her name.
Sure, she put a lot of effort into making Rebecca Costa-Brown look older in a lot of different ways, but it didn't take a genius to put two and two together. She trusted Sett, but the more people knew a secret, the more likely it was that the secret would get spilled.
She could fuck him while wearing her cape outfit, which was something to consider. She did want to find out if Sett could heal her eye, anyway. Maybe she could swap her power with someone else for just a moment to have her missing eye healed, then swap back?
Still, sleeping with her wouldn't make Sett loosen up and be more willing to use his powers. No, she needed to find a way to get him to be more willing to stretch what he saw as acceptable.
Oddly enough, she had allies in this quest. Emma Barnes enjoyed her man dominating other women and was laying the groundwork for not just Bombshell and Genesis to join his harem, but she'd been masterfully manipulating Vista's growing crush on Sett as well. That would be a good start on eroding Sett's morality.
There was also Sett's decision to turn down a drunken Brandish due to her being married. Could she really let a little thing like a wedding ring stop Sett from getting another power? No, she could not. Sett hadn't told her about that one, but Insight was a useful tool who knew that she was one fuck-up away from finding herself in the Birdcage.
Honestly, after spending five minutes with the teenage former villain, she was almost ready to throw Lisa into the Birdcage regardless. Well, the Birdcage or space. Either would stop her from having to deal with the teenager and her superiority complex.
As she went to speak to Sett again, she froze as an all-too-familiar sound blared through the Rig. She froze, confusion and shock overcoming her as she listened to the unmistakable sound of the Endbringer siren blaring, Sett frowning in confusion.
That wasn't possible; the Simurgh had attacked less than a week ago. Her phone rang, and she answered it instantly.
"Who and where," Alexandria ordered.
"Behemoth and Leviathan, both headed towards New York," Legend replied, his tone stressed as her eyes widened. They didn't act like this; two at once? And so soon?
What the hell was going on?
— Bonus Scene – The Simurgh –
Humming a tune to herself, she smiled as she felt Unit One and Unit Two move. Eidolon wanted Sett to be shamed, to fall from grace, and that wounded ego gave her some wiggle room. She probably wouldn't be able to get away with this again, triggering an attack so early, but she wouldn't need to.
Everything was set; all she had to do was play her part.
If all went as planned, she'd be free from Eidolon by the end of the day. Free from the restrictions and the need to hold back to satisfy his ego. Listening to the blaring siren warning of the Endbringer's approach, she smiled grimly.
The Endbringer was already here; they just hadn't noticed yet.

DarkWolfShiro Author’s Note: Sorry for the delays; I’ve really not been doing great this week.
Written: 09/09/2024
I am entirely motivated by praise and interaction, so leave a review, and I’ll probably write faster. I do read every review/comment, because it gives me the happy brain chemicals and motivates me to write more. My body is a machine that turns positive reviews into new chapters.
I have a Patreo n, where my supporters can vote on which fics get bonus chapters each cycle and have access to advance chapters, up to ten chapters ahead of the public release. Patreo n is also five chapters ahead and plat/diamond tier have voting rights for my Quest. Feel free to check it out.
I also set up a Subscribe Star as well, more or less just as a backup/test to see which I prefer. The chapters are available on Discord if you’re a Patreo n and on the site directly on Subscribe Star due to the different site rules, so if you don’t use Discord or have issues finding the chapters, Subscribe Star is the better choice.
The Advance Chapters
Diamond: Guide to Freedom Ch14, The Operative Ch07, The Warlock Ch07, The Craftsman Ch05
Plat: The Necromancer Ch07, The Celestial Remnant Ch10, The Supervillain Ch29
Gold: The High Roller Ch07, The Celestial Remnant Ch09
Basic: The Celestial Professor Ch04
Quest: The Celestial Inquisitor Ch01-05

I have a Discord server with a bunch of other authors and a load of porn. So much porn.
Here’s the link for that: discord .gg/DarkWolfShiro
If it says it’s expired, it is probably your account being unable to join NSFW servers, and you’ll need to fix that. If you fix that and it still says it’s expired, add me (DarkWolfShiro), and I’ll invite you myself.
