Over the next few days Leonardo noticed a distinct shift in the mood of the castle. “Fencing?” He repeated when Aspen told them at breakfast. She nodded. “Yeah. Sword fighting for practice. It’s great for your reflexes and flexibility.” She took a bite of her breakfast, pieces of sugared wheat…

PART TWO. Kamala Mason got the call when she was at work. She was wrapping up her lab notes for the day, thinking about if she wanted to grab anything from the old-fashioned bazar before she went home when her communicator beeped. Unknown Origin: Wyoming? Kam wondered about it for…

PART TWO. Napoleon had always awoken early. He just couldn’t stand the feeling of wasting time on sleep. When he’d been on campaign, he would sometimes wake just after midnight to pour over his maps or wake his aides to send missives. Now stuck, he still found himself waking early,…

Maxime was drowning in blood. It was in his mouth, his throat. The very smell made his eyes water and churned his stomach. He was trapped wherever he was, standing in a warm pool of blood that he couldn’t avoid getting into his mouth. He wanted to scream. But he…

Episode Twenty One – Dante in Hell. A/N: Specially formatted extra-long episode! Aspen Strong: Secret Agent: The Movie. This was such a terrible idea, Aspen thought to herself. She was barely floating along, using just enough of a propulsion to gently drift towards the Bastille, which loomed ever closer. The…
