With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

Considering she cleaned an entire auction house of dead bodies, chairs, and blood? Any particulate kyrptonite pulled out of her and the coins taken from her.

 

I searched through the last 10 pages of the story only thread and she hasn't appeared at all in that time. I get that it's not practical for you to show every non-core thing he does but like, if you want the audience to care about the relationship at all you gotta treat it as a core thing at least once in a while.

 

What anti-kryptonian measures are there, anyway? Kryptonite, sonic weapons and brute force were all already used without much success. All in all, Kryptonians and Kryptonian-equivalents are not easy to counter.

 

Green K usually works without outright killing.

 

I did say "Kryptonite was used without much success", didn't I? Or, technically, gold kryptonite radiation worked perfectly fine, but Kara grabbed magic coins that grant her equivalent powers anyway, so it didn't matter.

 

Odd that Kara didn't just super-speed rip the rings off his fingers and crush them.

 

The SI doesn't know. If pressed, he'd say that there's a good chance it would pass through one side of her and out of the other, but that wasn't his preferred resolution.

Desire nullification works really well for selfish people, but does little on someone being evil for the sake of it.

The SI could do something like that. In fact, it's likely to happen without him, because of the sheer power metahumans can possess. But the United Planets comes from how the Reach separated different metahuman strains up, and that particular thing won't be replicated without them.

Truggs had some and someone opened the storage case.

I'd avoid Superman's cancer screening results in ten years if I were you.

 

So something similar like in the comics may happen, with metahumans creating their own worlds, or humans being altered by their environment or altering themselves.

Though I can see the Reach playing a part in creating something like the UP in the new timeline.

That being the various powers united to fight them see the benefits of cooperation and create a United Planets like organization.

So Superman is going to get cancer in your story?

 

Narrator focus indicates what's important to the narrator. What does it say about the importance of Paul's relationship with Jade to the former that she’s just a scarce afterthought in the narration? It's the same reason that Wildbow stating that Taylor Hebert was heterosexual despite all the attention she paid to how pretty various girls were was met with... incredulity.

 

She is seemingly in the whole "gloat while having you on the wrong side of an arrow shaft" part of evil.

 

She was, she supposedly dropped that after he tried that mechanical containment construct.

 

A wider alliance, yes, but it's on the other side of the galaxy from Earth.

That was a flippant comment on my part, but... Probably at some point?

 

If he could environmental shield her, why couldn't he shield the kryptonite radiation? Also, does he have any of those antimagic chains?

 

At least he has access to tech that could help him cure himself.

 

In Pauls defence, the host of heaven did kill him once.

 

Superman can't get Cancer, as long as his powers work his body heals of anything but losing a body part better that perfect. Yes better that perfect as he gets stronger over time; save AU Supermen done for drama.

Superman can even heal fron heavy Green K poisoning with enough solar energy.

Edit: No, I am not making this up. Superman only gets old or gets Cancer if the writers feel like it, most of the time he recovers completely.

 

Unfortunately the writer of this story feels like it.

 

He could and did. Unfortunately, that didn't do anything about the radiation she'd already absorbed.

Yes, but they wouldn't do much about the coins since both the coins and the thing they were affecting would be inside the chains. Otherwise they'd have chained up Nabu and laughed as the helmet just fell off.

 

Yea... It's easy to forget Zoat actively hates a lot of DC characters...

 

But they must still limit the ability to affect the self, otherwise wizards would just be able to shrink or shapeshift out of the chains. Or give themselves super strength and break out.

 

Yes, but it does that by preventing wizards drawing power from the local thaumosphere, or in Nabu's case from the Plane of Order. The coins carry the power to do what they do in themselves.

It's like the difference between a mains power cable and a battery. The battery powered device doesn't care about the lines going down.

 

This makes me want to ask questions you likely don't have the answers to. Like if the energy that powers magic is primarily an internal thing, or if most spells take their energy from primarily external sources. As well as if mages are more limited by their souls ability to manipulate energy, or if they are more limited by their internal reserves.

 

Hm. So wizards have no noticeable internal reservoir, at least insufficient to pull the tricks needed to shuck the chains, and the Coins have sufficient battery power to maintain kryptonian level powers completely cut off from thaumosphere? Considering the manacles are probably made of orichalcum or mithril, which should take a bit for even a kryptonian to break, that's pretty impressive.
Some other thoughts are if he could have subspaced the black kryptonite while the environmental shield was there, and if he can do the opposite of the apathy trick to try and drown out the evil with Kara's actual desires. Which might work if it's effectively making her feel the more aggressive form of Black.

 

Superman getting cancer? I guess Superman is getting another child - Kancer

Yeah, comics, Superman got stalked by his own tumor.

 

Huh. I thought she destroyed the GK Radiation contruct he was making before it could get off a shot. The coins are surprisingly strong.

 

The guy just can't catch a break from obsessive weirdo stalkers.

For gods sake, one was so obsessed that he made a kid.

 

And here I thought Dark Supergirl was the one wanting to be Hoover Girl.

 

Nice. OP Kara for the win.

 

Ohh, God, I can see this being used in some superhero porn parody.

'rather than having'

'debris are drawn

Well, that was handy and quick.

So did New Kara just get all the kryptonite on the planet, since I think it would be well within her capabilities?
