Challenge #00251: Terror Watch
Agent Pertwee and his take on watching the terror with the textiles.
[AN: Agent Pertwee is a girl :P]
Agent Jane Pertwee sighed. She’d signed up for Terror Watch because it was the fast-track past the glass ceiling and on to better things. She should have known that the dicks upstairs would have picked the one least likely to do anything worthy of garnering promotion by stopping it in its tracks.
Right now, she was holding up a wall watching

Kitty/alwaysfemale!Colossus.
“I’m here!” Kitty announced. This was supposed to be a place full of people like her. Like, where was the welcome committee?
BAMF! “Ah, hubches madchen,” A blue demon in a black and red outfit appeared in an almost stereotypical puff of sulphurous smoke. “Pleased to make your acquaintance,” it reached for her with a freakish, three-fingered hand.
Kitty screamed.
A giant, metal hand held off the demon by encapsulating its

Gail Simone’s short story for the Time Warp #1 anthology. I’m not a huge fan of Simone’s ongoing work but I have to say, her short stories are wonderful. Thank you for this one.
Art by Gael Bertrand, published by Vertigo.
I was very proud of this story, with amazing art by Gael Bertrand. My first Vertigo piece!
That was beautiful.
AWESOME!
I love a good paradox. This is a fucking brilliant paradox.

Challenge #00249: What Monsters Hath Science Wrought?
Catbug.
Mythos Entertainment Inc. was working on all manner of new things. Their bio-labs were cooking up foetuses at the rate of knots.
Graham Ptolowitz stared at the thing in the pen. This was the angel/fairy production team, and the abomination before him had originally been a cat.
“We were working on a hexapodal mammalian life-form,” said Dewitt. “So splicing and activating the hexapodal gene was primary priority.”
“We did attempt bat wings, since they are

Whoever came up with this wins all the pies :)
I didn’t vote for him.
Nobody likes him.
The only reason he got in was Rudd the Dudd announcing he was going to raise taxes just before the election.
Smart. Not.
Fingers crossed that Abbott is a one-term wonder.

Challenge #00248: More Deadlier...
Magnificently mundane…and yet still formidable.
It is said that women are like tea leaves. You don’t know how strong they can be until you put them in hot water. Mavis had always laughed at that. She was as mild as milk! Meek as mud.
Until the invaders came.
She’d just turned her back for a second. Let go of the pram for just long enough to grab a can of beans. And when she turned back,

Ordinary excellence.
“If you want it to last long, hire an expert. If you want it to last for long enough, hire a JOAT.” – Galactic saying.
Rael got most of his income from people who wanted their patches to last long enough. As in, long enough to make a profit out of this trip. Or, long enough to get me back home. And, in some cases, long enough so I can trade this heap in for maximum due.
He

Professor Xavier on why he abandoned the idea of a institute theme song.
“Professor? Why isn’t there a school song?”
“To be very brief, I couldn’t come up with anything good,” he confessed. “Begin with the fact that the Institute doesn’t have a catchy name, and add to that the fact that I have all the musical talents of a diseased whelk…” he shrugged. “If you can come

Scott, the new floral and somewhat emotionally expressive studmuffin, wows the blue hairs at the convention. His ego does a world of good for it.
“I do a lot of beach-combing for interesting pieces,” said Scott. “And I get bucket-loads of shells from that, I never knew why I picked them up in the first place, but I had bucket-loads of shells and I had to do something with them…” Click. The next slide showed an orchid

I’m in an oooey gooey mood so please give me a sweet romantic sappy drippy waff-fest about a couple who meet long after they knew each other in high school. Extra points for any amusement park item.
In order to reduce the severity of Silly Season, Amalgam Station held a station-wide fair once every five months. Every human got some time to play, even folks like Lyr, who worked security.
Even other species got into it. Chitanians were busy hanging

So, somehow, one way or another, someone is gonna find out about the tats Kitty and Rogue got of each others’ names on their butts. And immediately jump to a conclusion: they’re dating. Why else would they get such fancy ink in such an intimate place? Sure, they’ll try to deny it, but rumors are quick to spread and very hard
