    Summary

    The CIA agents on the base are bullying the children, mocking them for their mutations. Charles will not tolerate it.

    Or: Charles has a line, and the agents cross it. Several times. And Erik discovers that perhaps Charles is not so much of a pacifistic pushover as he appears.

    Summary

    Beneath the tear in his robes was not the soft give of skin, but the smooth hardness of carbon.

    Lan Fan inhaled sharply and reached for Ling’s raised left hand. Its ever-present itch had vanished, seeming real only for its absence. She gently turned it over and ran her flesh thumb along the back of it.

    There, etched in pink so faint it was barely visible, was undeniably an Ouroboros tattoo.

    Ling laughed, breathy and sparse. “Greed.”

    Ling Yao made it. The cost was so high, but he was Emperor; he could change things. He could protect his people. It was, of course, a thing much easier said than done: some of his people—like those who attempted to kill him today—had rather aggressive complaints.

    They got much more than they bargained for from a certain homunculus.
