Excerpt Title: Overwatch
\nAuthor: Harper Kingsley
\nWorld: Kanon-verse
\nCharacter: Warrick Reidenger Tobias, Caspian Dukes
\nGenre: superhero, angst, friendship, major illness<\/p>\n
Warrick Reidenger Tobias was packing for a business trip to Chicago when it felt as though the world suddenly whirled around him. He staggered against the bed, dropping the navy silk tie he held as his hand lost all strength. Multicolor lights flared behind his eyes.<\/p>\n
He didn’t realize he’d dropped until his knees hit the floor. His head bounced against the carpet. His body twitched and shivered uncontrollably.<\/p>\n
It was his first seizure.<\/p>\n
It wasn’t his last.<\/p>\n
~ ~ ~<\/p>\n
The doctors didn’t know what was wrong with him. Dozens of specialists and days spent in drafty paper gowns having his blood sucked out by needles and his brain scanned by machines. He felt like a lab experiment.<\/p>\n
And at the end of it all, there were still no answers, just speculation.<\/p>\n
He hated feeling helpless. But there was nothing he could do.<\/p>\n
So he continued with his life and pretended that everything was all right. As though faking normal would *make* everything normal.<\/p>\n
He did such a good job at pretending that he started believing it after awhile. As though the past few weeks had been a dream and he was finally awake.<\/p>\n
He was free to go about his regularly scheduled life of superheroing and presiding over a large and powerful company.<\/p>\n
And then there was another seizure and another one and another one, so rapid and close together that he didn’t recognize what was happening until after the third one, the BIG one. The one where he finally had to admit there was a problem because Caspian had seen and just wouldn’t let it go.<\/p>\n
\/EXCERPT<\/p>\n
*<\/p>\n
[3] Which is an irony, as I’ve been considering having the Kanon-Darkstar go on walkabout after ATR. Events progress, time gets wacky, and the God of Light comes into being.<\/p>\n
After a timeless eternity floating through the nothingness, he. creates Sindarek, his brother and the God of Chaos, and later a sister, Goddess of the Night.<\/p>\n
Events are explained when Rue’s Chosen enact the Play of Light in his honor. But basically Sindarek gets jealous and attacks the God of Light, destroying his physical form, and beginning his cycle of wearing human avatar bodies (like Rue). During the fight, there was a tear in spacetime, and the God of Light’s blood ended up in Universe A, creating the human gods.<\/p>\n
Due to the humans of Universe A spreading from their now-hostile universe to neighboring realities, where they are gods in human form, there is a contamination of multiverse not just with the introduction of the human gene mutation known as the Nor-gene (resulting in metahumans) there is also the spread of the nectar bee mutation caused by the multiversal adventures of the superheroine known as Blue Devil aka Blue Fairy aka Fairy Godmother aka The Godmother of Horns.<\/p>\n

Anyways, I’ve got stuff percolating in my brain, and I’m trying to get them all down on paper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
