Quarrels and Quills

At the S.H.I.E.L.D. Base An argument had broken out at the S.H.I.E.L.D. facility after Marshal's hearing - a rather loud, but entirely one-sided one. The Hammer of Justice himself, a.k.a. Kyle Richmond, was firing a profanity-laced tirade at Phil Coulson. "...And then you just... let him go? Y...

Thompson's Man The soldier was as startled as anyone else when the girl fell. I didn't hurt her! he told himself. I didn't even touch her. At least... I don't think I did. But it was hard to tell. His memory was so bad. So patchy. He often lost chunks of time. Maybe he had done this after all. Rega...

Imiel Imiel smiled back at Rhiannon. He didn't find her conceited. Quite the opposite; her lack of false modesty was refreshing. Why shouldn't a woman take credit for her own talents? "Well," he said. "I guess I'll just have to continue giving you compliments, then." A deliberat...

Agent Phil Coulson (And Others) “This isn’t a trial.” He’d said that several times, trying to ease the tension - but it sure felt like one. Phil Coulson, Maria Hill, and a handful of other S.H.I.E.L.D. higher-ups sat facing Marshal Knox, his attorney, and Mr. Stalwart - the latter of whom was not o...

Marshal Knox and Jameson Bryant "Oh, Cait..." Marshal said softly. "You aren't dumping on me. Never. I'm glad you felt like you could talk to me about this. I see you. I'm sorry that the others sometimes don't. You deserve to be seen." He was fully aware just how lucky he was. S...

Hamza Karim If Hamza was startled by the talk of marriage, he was now completely dumbfounded. If female Lycans were rare in his experience, Lycans having children was unheard of. He had never met a werewolf who was interested in spending a couple of decades raising and caring for another being... e...

Theron Shan "Oh, it's not going in my mission report either," Theron replied. "This isn't SIS business. It isn't something the Republic cares about. This is my own little... aside." She had tipped her hand a little. Showed a card or two. He had no doubt there were many, many mor...

Theron Shan Theron regarded her coolly. Typical Imperial Intelligence bullshit, he thought. She can't risk me getting the mistaken impression that she isn't a flaming racist by even pretending to be interested in the intel I'm trying to share about an attack on the area where we all met up just a s...

Sellia "Thank you, Nairn," Sellia said sincerely. Somehow, the Norn's offer was a great relief. This other vampire had so far been nothing but kind, but she still felt a foreboding... and the more time she spent in his presence, the more she realized it was centered around him - around th...

Eve Travers and Cambria Morehouse "It certainly seems that way," Cambria agreed with a sigh. "I suppose we'll just have to--" Eve made a motion with her arm - a pretense of adjusting her sleeve - with a slight inclination of her head, and Cambria stopped talking. She now saw wha...
