Workers pushed hover-carts carrying the avatars still in their holding cages toward the laboratories on the BADGE space station. Heroes gathered near the sight, each watching with shock and dread in their eyes.“Director Nova?” Agent Leslie approached.“Yes?”She gulped as the Avatar of Supernatural was pushed by, “are...they dead?”EB hopped up and down between them. “Nope. Just sedated. They are gonna be so sore when they wake. I might make a chocolate with aspirin in it, or something stronger. I…”...

Delta stepped into a darkened room where two people sat behind a long desk. Judge Alpha and Marshal Gamma watched tablets on the desk as the news reports were feeding through.“Delta, I see the laboratory has been compromised.” Marshal Gamma stated as he held up his tablet, showing footage from the explosion at sea.Delta nodded. “BADGE was able to track the Easter Bunnies location. Dr. Osteen was forced to use the self-destruct.”Alpha asked, “what of the Avatars?”“We lost them as well. Osteen survived.”Gamma...

Kid Chaos and Triblade skidded as they rounded a corner. People dodged them as they ran down the street.“Are you sure it’s this way?” Kid Chaos asked.Triblade checked a read-out on his wrist monitor. “The alert came from the Sixth Fourth Bank on Main street. It has to be down this way. Nevets and Crossroads should meet us there.”They came to a stop near a blockade of police cars. An officer handed off his bullhorn and approached Triblade. “We have a situation here. Two psychos are in there with...

Nova simmered in fury as he watched the screens. Every news outlet across the world was showing the battle in Neo Utopia. Partially destroyed buildings smoked while overturned cars blazed on fire. Large sections of the Central Square of the city were smoking holes. A newscaster spoke in front of a camera. “We are still unclear about the identities of the responsible parties. BADGE has, thus far, refused to comment on the situation.”“Mute this!” Nova ordered, and the screen in front of him...

The hologram led all three deep into the base to a room that seemed to be a dead end. The back wall beeped as a hidden panel flashed when the hologram inputted a code. Panels lifted and parted, revealing a multilayered door. Each door required a new code and was timed so that if the code was not entered fast enough, the vault would re-seal itself back to the first door.“Wow, even I wouldn’t have been able to get into that.” Chase said.Once it was finished opening, the hologram turned and said,...

EB sat with his arms, and legs tucked up against himself and his chin resting on them. His eyes were cast down as he rocked a little.“Wonder what Nova’s do’n right now? Probably worried sick about me. This place sucks.” He gazed up at the glassed in room where a different man was being augmented using their strange technology. “At least it doesn’t look like it hurts them too much. How many are they going to do? Why are they all naked? Why are they all guys? I mean, this place stinks and I hate...

Chase checked her sensors again, wiping snow off the screen. Behind her, Gar lay in the snow.“What are you doing?”Gar got up and brushed the snow off his stone body. “Making a snow angel.”She looked and saw he had merely made an imprint of his own body, with wings outstretched in the snow. “You have an advantage, real wings. Though, normally angel wings aren’t bat-like.”“Dragon.”She laughed, “sorry, dragon-like.”“Better.”She slapped the side of the sensor and then shivered as a new breeze cut by....

Nova and Quark stepped out into the Operations center. Chase and Gar stood down front, observing the large map.“Anything to report?” Nova asked, which was his way of greeting them.Gar turned and rolled his shoulders, “I’m getting movement back in my body.”“Good.”Chase walked over to Nova. “I see you aren’t in a cast any longer. All healed up?”“Almost. My ribs are still sore, but nothing too concerning.”She turned her attention to Quark. “any luck?”“No. I couldn’t find one trace of EB or those people.”Gar...

FIRST PRIZE Contest Entry: Heart of Ice

By ShadowbourneMaybe registering her powers with B.A.D.G.E. wasn’t the best idea, Rennie thought as she exited the convoy just outside of Bakersfield, California. She’d seen the news: Arx took over Hollywood and was holding the inhabitants hostage. All the country’s heroes had assembled and now she was among them. Arx and his mercs were going to crush her like a bug and she would counter attack by causing a light drizzle, making flowers bloom or extinguishing all their candles. She barely...

 Nova walked across an artificial island in the middle of the ocean. It was massive, with a pyramid shaped building in the center. Small parks were on each side, with landing platforms stuck out over the water. The entire island sat on a metal base that had pillars going deep into the waters. Flags from almost every nation on Earth flew around the main building.With a heavy sigh, Nova sat down on a bench near a glistening clear pond that had lilies planted around it. A single blue duck bobbed...

 With a good grip on the bar, Bill lifted it from the rack on the bench. His body beaded with sweat, his feet firmly planted, his back arched, he grunted and shoved the weights up. After ten repetitions, he replaced the bar.Gerald came over and looked down at Bill’s reddened face. “Boy, that was some lifting. 1,200 pounds.”Bill pulled himself up and dabbed his face with the towel. “Been getting stronger for some time. Real strong. Don’t know how far I’ll take it.”Gerald gave Bill an inquisitive...
