"Worth" Version Two-Short Story Edition

Due to long hours editing my book "Destiny's Fate" for publication on Amazon and eBorders, False Dawn has been pushed back. Instead, please enjoy “Worth.”

When asked on the DC Boards if Dick Grayson will reappear in the pages of Red Robin soon, Fabian Nicieza replied that Dick will later this year, but he doesn’t allow his love for the character to influence his writing. The book is Tim Drake’s, not Dick Grayson’s.

After pondering Mr. Nicieza’s profound words, I’ve decided to limit the writing of Bat fics (though I am currently working on “Scions,” it won’t be released at least until later in the year) and highlight some awesome characters away from the night. So we’re going to cross universes and get a glimpse of Marvel now, and next month, we’ll travel to Central and Keystone to see Barry and Jai.

“Worth” Version Two—Set Captain America: Civil War Part Two: The Drums of War. Fury should have asked permission before taking on a new operative.

I expected to wake up in darkness, perhaps with a little flames, but this is not what I had in mind.

The crackling, red fire of the hearth helps to receive my shivering body. There’s not much in the room at first glance. A table, weapons, a rickety bed. As my eyes adjust to the shadows of the room, so does my ears.

I’ve seen enough Lethal Weapons movies to know what those carnal noises, the amount of skin, and the blue-tinted woman on top of my uncle means.

Lasantra’s ice eyes whirl to greet me, but I’m not looking at THOSE. I jump at the roaring scolding.

“RAL!” Connor admonishes, and the shock jerks me to the throne room, where Mom sits next to the Skadoian Lord, one hand on the arm of the diamond chair, the other cupped in his. Her eyes glow a surreal ice-blue, and they’re not staring at me. They’re not staring at anything.

“Well, well, well.” The Skadoian Lord’s tongue clicks the roof of his mouth. “You’ve survived after all.”

I recently spoke with J.T. Krul, the writer of Teen Titans and the upcoming Deadman and the Flying Graysons. I asked him what the hardest part of writing comics was. His answer? Pacing. (Thanks, Mr. Krul!)

Usually I write in the twenty-two page format because, well, I was trained to write in it. However, for this arc, all comic scripts will be twenty pages to coincide with DC’s format and to showcase pacing.

FD#15: The False Dawn/Destiny's Fate Cross-over starts here! After his defeat the hands of the Skadoian Lord, Ral wakes up in a world not like the one he remembers (and no, he doesn’t wake up in the world of Flashpoint).
