Quarrels and Quills

Jameson Bryant Jameson was elated - and more than a little relieved - that everything had gone so well at S.H.I.E.L.D. and Marshal was a free man. As he should be. But that wasn't enough. The mission was only half complete. Physical freedom was important, but there were other ties that held Marshal...

Visper Averrod-Iresso Visper regarded Dallyn for a moment. Then she said, "This is a very serious mission. Innocent lives are at stake. There will be people counting on us, and if we fail, no one else is coming to their aid in our place. We cannot have any distractions." She met his eyes ...

Marshal Knox Marshal couldn't quite believe how his hearing had turned out. He kept looking over his shoulder, expecting guards to come chasing after him, shouting that there had been some mistake and dragging him back to the detention he'd been locked up in when he first came to S.H.I.E.L.D. It di...

Maureen Finnegan This left Maureen in a rather awkward position. Cait obviously had a good rapport with Sully; that was an understatement. She was clearly a caring and compassionate person. Cait was Marshal's friend. ...But she was also about twelve. And Maureen couldn't just send a dog home with a...

Hamza Karim "You have given me a lot to think about," Hamza said truthfully. Vampires too? He had never thought of them as anything other than threats to be avoided. And Fae? He hadn't even thought they were real. It seemed everything he had believed he knew about the immortal world had b...

Devrin Olan Devrin was not even slightly chagrined by this attack on his character and these petty insults toward his actions. What did these ruffians know? But he was eager to end the conversation. The healer had said that Gwindor could be moved, and the process was underway - Devrin needed to get...

Auror Andrew Darby Darby listened carefully as Rosemary said her piece, nodding with understanding or sympathy at the appropriate times. "I understand, Professor Bain. Your devotion to your charges is admirable. We do hate to see youth stray from the straight and narrow into the paths of crimi...

Devrin Olan "Oh," Devrin said softly, his flawlessly handsome face now looking a bit crestfallen. "I don't mean to come on too strong. I just care so deeply about her. She matters so much to me. I can’t bear to see her hurt. I know that witnessing such a grievous injury to her poor f...
