The debrief in the PRT HQ conference room was scheduled for 10 AM sharp.
Colin had expected it to take place earlier, but the arrest coincided with Director’s dialysis treatment, and the processing of the prisoners dragge...

The moon hung above us like a shard of blue glass, scattering its light across the world below. I didn’t know how long I’d been flying beneath it—seconds, minutes, an hour. The air was thin and cold and alive, and for the first time in years, so was I.

A/N: By the way, I edited chapter 26 a little. It's largely the same, but rereading it made me think Lisa's emotional arc didn't punch hard enough, so I pushed it a bit harder.

Harsh, clinical light washed over steel and composite as Colin turned the weapon slowly, searching for flaws he knew weren’t there.
He never allowed flaws. Compromises, yes, but never flaws. Every piece he built ...

“Thank you all for attending this meeting,” I said, addressing the assembled Wards ENE team.
We had gathered in the Wards training area purpose-built for powered combat—no sharp edges, no corners to clip your skull on during a fall, and steel-reinforced walls to catch anything that mi...

“We’ve got confirmation, Director. Alabaster’s transport has reached its destination,” Deputy Director Renick reported.
They sat in the command center, hours after the chaos had subsided. Whether the riots had truly been suppressed or if the Emp...

“I’m simply stating my opinion,” Shirou said as we patrolled through the city.
Today’s patrol route took us through what local authorities might charitably label a “lower-income zone.” A more accurate term, at least by my standards, would be economically terminal. In any sane ur...

A wooden staff smacked Chris’s training spear aside, and a swift kick to the gut folded him in half with a pitiful whine.
Now, my brother didn’t believe in pausing during spars. The moment Chris bent over, he was punished with a follow-up strike to the ...

I tried to deflect the incoming strike but failed miserably. Shirou’s striped shinai smacked into my shoulder, sending a jolt of pain sharp enough to make me wince.
“Strike!” Missy announced cheerfully from the side.
I groaned and rubbed my shoulder.
I’d never been in a ...

Another day, another opportunity to network.
Earlier, I contacted Armsmaster to inquire whether he was experiencing any lingering discomfort from his healed injuries. In truth, I just wanted to remind him that I existed.
It’s a standard strategy—one that translates cleanly from th...

Magical energy. The source of power that allows a reenactment of possible phenomena, bypassing all the required means of the mundane world.
Well, that is, if you were talking about magecraft.

Saturdays were Dennis’ favorite days of the week. No school from the very start of the day, and the knowledge that you won’t have to go there the next day either.
Sure, there were patrols sometimes, but Dennis would take a walk down the Boardwalk or smack a...

As we soared through the city on a sidecar attached to the Armsmaster’s motorcycle, I kept running the events of the night through my head.
The meeting with Armsmaster went extremely well.
The Protectorate leader had been suitably impressed with my brother’s capabilities. As he sh...

The elevator doors slid open with a soft mechanical hiss, revealing a sealed corridor lined with reinforced glass. Beyond it, Armsmaster’s workshop stretched out — not sprawling, but dense, compact, alive with purpose.

Babysitting was not Sophia’s idea of a fun patrol. Wards' assigned patrol routes weren’t fun to begin with, but tonight she was also supposed to put up with a kid.
She had hoped that by now Aegis would learn to let her patrol solo, but no, the stuck...

“She attacked my daughter!”
“Thank you, Brandish. I heard you the first time,” Director Piggot replied dryly.
In Emiya’s honest opinion, the situation with Dean’s girlfriend had ended amicably. It turned out the girl had an emotional aura— the very power that convinced G...

It started with little things.
Battery offered congratulations. Assault made inane jokes. Dauntless told Colin to ask him if he needed advice, which Colin didn’t appreciate. Velocity nodded at him in a manner that his algorithm pinged as his colleague trying to convey some meaning beyond ...

Two weeks after our introduction to the public, my life settled into a comfortable routine. The arrangements for my schooling were finalized.

A/N: Double update today. Make sure you haven't missed Chapter 8.
There was a lot Emiya did not like about these ‘heroes’. As someone intimately familiar with the topic, the way it was handled in this timeline grated on him.
Case in point: today was the day he and his sis...
