High up in the sky! The Bug cruised over the city at a steady clip. Ted had one hand on the controls, the other wrapped around a coffee. The console chirped. Ted raised an eyebrow. โ€œOkay, no,โ€ Ted said. โ€œYou donโ€™t chirp like that.โ€ The Bug dipped. Just a little. Enough to -

How is it possible that the most dangerous weapon in the world is seemingly a man (@EliteTerminator)? Highly strategic, ruthless, and always calculating the risks versus the reward. Even his jobs on the side seemed to be often testing his limits against heroes, or even elite -

Morrow sits alone with the screens dimmed, not dark, never dark, no, no, no, because darkness implies rest and rest implies vulnerability, and he has already accounted for vulnerability three different ways and rejected all of them. @TornadoSentinel's refusal keeps replaying, -
