Problem Child 19: Suburban Paradise, brought to you by Lex Corp

“No, Aiko,” Dad repeated patiently. “I won’t vault the fence holding your mother in order to run away. First off, it would be a violation of her bodily autonomy. That’s not very nice, is it?” He drizzled olive oil on his beloved farmer’s market vegetables the whole time he talked. U...

Problem Child 18: the kidnapping

Mercy didn’t take her home, obviously. As soon as she was confident that Captain Marvel had been convinced, the humanity shucked right off of her. Mercy relaxed into her normal feline posture, fluid and cruel. She would, Aiko thought, have been a pretty decent shinobi in another life.

“Priestess,” he purred. She glanced up as he prowled into his own house, smelling faintly of both smoke and soap. The combination was sort of acrid. Aiko tried not to scrunch up her face in visible distaste. He probably didn’t realize that she could smell him so strongly. “My apologie...

WAP 43

Her assailant did not enjoy that assessment. They narrowed their eyes and lunged in again. They were close enough for her to note that they were slightly taller than Aiko, with a narrow build that didn’t carry a lot of visible muscle. She dodged again, this time whirling a few feet away to look...

Problem Child 17: Robinterlude 2

Damian rapped on Beautia’s window with his gloved knuckles and waited impatiently for her to open her curtains. She pulled them open cautiously, blinked, and then gave him a nod as she unlocked the window. “My thanks,” he said, pushing the window open and climbing inside. “I hope that...

Problem Child 16: Robinterlude 1

Can you ask Beautia ho…

Damian did not react to the incoming message, rapidly spamming flower attacks on the big screen in the family television den. His opponent screamed verbal abuse over the microphone as his avatar was buried under an avalanche of impenetrab...

WAP 42

It was a matter of minutes to walk across the town. It was not enough time for her to really gather her nerves. 

Hana’s husband answered the door at her first knock, and lit up when he saw her. She avoided eye contact. “Is Hana up for visitors?”

“Yes...

Problem Child 15

“Who is that?” Marvel asked, as soon as the police sirens were behind them. He sounded mad. He touched down and let her out of his grip a bit suddenly.

Whoa. Aiko blinked up at him. It was the first time she had heard him angry. She took a couple of judicious steps away, unce...

Problem Child 14

Tires screeched.

She was momentarily blinded, dazzled by the transition from the store to the pitch-black sky cruelly cut through with cold streetlights. It took two blinks to fix.

They reached the parking lot as two vans peeled out in opposite directions. Ma...

WAP 41

Fumiko was ready to talk when Aiko reached her house, simple notes on her low table. She had her hair tied up sensibly and her oversized kimono cover hanging casually off of her shoulders. The light coming in through the oil-paper window hit her in such a way that her dark hair shone faintly.

AIC finale 2 of 2

It felt like a gut punch. She grunted and went down to a knee. 

The air began to seethe with bijuu chakra. It seeped out of her in a furious, hurting mist. 

She cut another lock, opening the floodgates. It was excruciating. That was all she could do...

“That’s not exactly what I meant...” Sarutobi frowned.

The head priest hummed. “As these lands have recently suffered from mismanagement by Orochimaru-san, we here have learned that perhaps it is best to carefully consider the benefits and drawbacks of all chosen affiliations and pr...

WAP Aiko 40

The night with Tobirama wasn’t as bad as she feared. He was a quiet houseguest. He accepted the futon with quiet thanks and laid down his head for the night without taking off his armor, which she sort of felt flattered by. He wasn’t that comfortable with her.

Or maybe he was...

Problem Child 13: set in an empty department store

There was definitely someone in the building. Aiko barely breathed, trying to orient with her ears in the dark. Marvel was floating slightly to avoid the sound of footsteps. She even knew what he was doing but it registered as unnatural in a way that put the hair up at the back ...

aiko preview: WAP and Problem Child

wap 40 excerpt

Aiko hung outside long enough to watch Hanako, Aiko, and Momoko follow Furi-san like ducklings out of sight into the heart of the village. Furi-san was doing this to get gossip first. The whole town was going to be asking her questions about the strange ninja man who ha...

WAP ch 39: Hana's sickroom

They needed someone to fix this.

“The leading medical experts… Ninja, the Senju, I think?” Hana’s husband wrung his hands after he answered her. “Can’t you do anything?” He sounded betrayed. “Please– anything you wish, we are your loyal ...

Problem Child 12

Of course, their plan was entirely contingent on getting ahold of a reptile doctor at this late hour. It was half past 7 pm on a worknight, and Aiko could only assume that they were getting ready for bed after a long day of sleeping on sunny rocks and digesting a singular large meal.

Problem Child 11

The security footage was illuminating. Aiko crossed her arms and watched as the scientist walked into the office. The door creaked shut behind him, showing that a great silly hulk of a person had been lying in wait. He crept in behind the herpetologist, arms raised. His tail barely avoided knocki...

Problem Child 10

Dad turned off the car in the top level of the parking garage where they were set to meet Captain Marvel. He had brought her to the same place yesterday and handed her off to one of her own clones.

‘I hope they don’t talk.’

She played with the end ...

Problem Child 9

Chapter Nine

Dad dropped the tray of juice when he saw who Aiko had let into the house. Robin darted forward to catch it on his palm. Aiko clapped politely as he spun it, let out a little hmmph, and proffered it back to her father. 

“Thank...

Aiko- Problem Child cuts

these scenes were cut when I reworked the plot, which was originally mostly just a gag about her churning though JL mentors on her unstoppable path to ruin Batman's life. I still like them for characterization, you get a little more Minato than in previous.

“Mr. Marvel,...

Problem Child: 8

On her third day as a solo act, Aiko indulged in something personal, since she was pretty sure that she could get everything important that remained for Marvel's protection done tomorrow after her ballet class. “I think he’ll want to see me,” she told the secretary, leaning up on her tippy ...

Problem Child 7

On the second day of Aiko’s self-assigned mission to protect Marvel's interests and secret identity, she followed up on the Monster Society of Evil. She’d burnt the bodies, but there was still only so much time before Dr. Sivana’s allies would notice the radio silence. Aiko had to work fast...

Problem Child 6

“Buh bye.” Aiko hung up the receiver and felt only a little bad for ditching her patrol partner. The poor guy was obviously sad that he had to go out alone. It was like kicking a puppy. “It’s for your good, little buddy,” she muttered to herself. He’d feel better when his enemies had ...

“That’s fine,” Captain Marvel said. He fidgeted, dragging his toes across the phone booth floor. 

It wasn’t very fine. It was really sad. He tried not to sound too glum.

“I really am sorry,” Aiko’s Mom said on the other end of the phone. She so...

Problem Child 4

“I think the President of America wants me to assassinate Superman,” Aiko told her mom. She put her backpack away on her purple and teal desktop. Nathan sort of tossed his bag and ran off into the house. He was gone before the bag slid across his homework desk and just baaarely 2024-09-12 00:39:09 +0000 UTC View Post
