Hiiii, this is my first time ever requesting a fic so please bare with me. But I was wondering if you’d write a Multi-Paul x Fem!Reader who can copy other people’s powers??

IM ALIVE!!! RAHHHH!! First Multi-Paul request, sorry in advance if this ends up being ooc, we don't know tooooo much about his personality rn in the show so I'm working with what I have!

BIG SPOILERS for the latest episode >:O

hcs under the cut!

I imagine it to be a very Kid Flash x Jinx situation

You working as a lone superhero, him working for The Order

You cross paths pretty often, but its always a good time

the stakes are low, is all

You don't report to Cecil, and Paul is usually pretty willing to fail just enough to satisfy you, but complete just enough of his mission to avoid dying at the hands of his boss

He's not sure what the deal with your powers is

You have different abilities every time he sees you

and one day when a swift roundhouse might knock you out, another day you take his punches from all sides like its nothing

It's a mystery

and he loves mysteries

and up until recently, he'd had a great time trying to solve you

Until one day when you're fighting outside a politician's house- Paul sent to assassinate the whole family

"Yknow-" you block attacks from three of his clones, as he stands unimpressed a few feet away

"you could leave them, I could protect you-" you fought through his clones, only for him to replicate more and sick them on you

This didn't deter you, however, and you fought your way up to him, taking hold of the back of his head and pressing it against yours

fucking- iPhone airdrop noises or something

I'm not that worried about the logistics of this power dw about it

Either way-

Paul pushes you back, stumbling and grabbing his head

"WH- What did you do to me?!" He yells out, patting down his body

he feels fine.

His shaky eyes are on your figure, until a fist from the other side of him decks him right across the face

"Where? Where are you!?" he grabs his jaw, dislocated from the punch "Aw fuck! Y/n that hurt!"

He watches with dizzy and blurred vision as you walk over to him, err- the two of you

He looks up at you and your clone, both holding out a hand to him.

"C'mon, get up." You said, the replica staying silent. You obviously hadn't had this power before-

"Oh fuck me...." Paul groaned, taking your hand and being pulled to his feet "Power replication, of course."

You smacked his arm, getting his attention

"I'm serious, Paul. Think about my offer. I..." you look away, the hardened stare of a hero who'd seen to many things

"I don't want you to meet the natural end for a member of The Order. If the Guardians- or Invincible- or someone less forgiving than me-! Ugh." You shook your head, dismissing your emotions and grabbing his hands

"I don't want you to do something you can't undo."

There was a moment of palpable tension between the two of you

He hated being told what to do

and he knew his sister didn't approve of what he did

but when he looked at you, he didn't see disapproval or disappointment or hatred

just fear

just concern

and maybe a hint of affection

He wanted to wriggle his hands free from yours, to tuck his tail and run

but he couldn't.

then again, he couldn't exactly leave, either.

"Y/n...." he started, his eyes meeting yours

Your eyes filled with a glimmer of hope, before deflating once you recognized the sour look in his own

"I can't. You know I love.... sparring with you... but I can't leave The Order. They would do unspeakable things to me, and worse to you." He took a somber step towards you "I can't have that happen."

The next few fights are somber, joyless affairs, and you both get sloppy

your heart just isn't in it anymore, it used to be thrilled and kind of flirtatious to fight with Multi-Paul, quips and comebacks and battle-throughline conversations

but now when you fought, it was silent, a soft look of fear and regret on both your faces

When Machine Head takes of The Order, Paul comes to you

like, literally to the door of your apartment

of your secret identity

You're in casual clothes and messy hair when you open the door, assuming it's someone at the wrong address or a package delivery or something

Instead it's Paul, in his.... in his fucking costume? Oh dear.

"Excuse me- Is this the home of Y/- Oh." His eyes settle on you with a wave of recognition "I'm sorry- you look.... different." It sounds like an insult, but his hardened eyes are glazed over with awe

You lean against the doorframe, unimpressed "What do you want, Paul?"

"I... I'm sorry for hunting you down like this. It wasn't my intention to-"

"What. Do you want. Paul?" You gritted out, pain screwing into your features as your expression soured. Not with hate, but pain.

He sighed, looking away with a bitter expression "That's fair. I... deserve that. I'm here to ask a favor."

You quirked a brow, pursing your lips "Yeah? what is it?"

He looked back at you nervously "Please stop being mad at me."

"..."

"Y/n wai-" you almost slammed the door in his face, being stopped by a quick clone slamming their fingers in the way, being broken by the impact

Your eyes widened and you threw open the door "Paul! What the hell are you okay?"

"Yeah... don't worry about me." The clone phased back out of existence with a smile

"I DO worry about you- fuck- Paul..." You furrowed your brows, cupping his face with an open palm "I know it's not permanent, but I don't like you getting hurt. I don't want you to die, and I don't want to have be the one to put your ass in prison one of these days- why don't you get that? I'm not mad at you- I CARE about you."

it all spilled out, and you're sure your neighbors thought awful things of you

but Paul was the only opinion you cared about

he was shocked, eyes wide looking at you in surprise

He never realized how much you cared, how much it bothered you.

His eyes narrowed and he folded his arms, unwilling or unable to bend "I can't stop with The Order. Not now.... at least."

He sighed, and put his hand over your own, leaning into your hand with a tense, serious expression and closed eyes

"I'm sorry for making you worry. Can I make it up to you?"

You blinked a few times before asking "What do you mean?"

His expression turned to a small smile "Like a date, maybe?"

Your eyes widened and face flushed

"Oh."

"Oh?" He repeated nervously, resisting the temptation to run away once more.

"Not bad 'oh'!! Just- surprised? Pleasantly, that is." You corrected yourself, bringing your other hand to his other cheek and squishing his face together

"I'd like that very much, Paul."

He beamed down at you, leaning fully into your touch "Okay! Uhm- awesome. I will uh... I'll be back! When's a good time?"

"Today!?" You asked with a laugh, shocked by his candidness

"yeah, of course! When have I ever waited? Okay fuck- you get dressed, I'll be back in an hour." and with that he was gone

He arrived, true to his word, an hour later, in a beat-up commuter car wearing a black t-shirt and simple jeans. He cleaned up nice, you had to admit.

"Get in, I know exactly where to take you."

you climbed into the clown car, and half an hour later you were at...

"Paul where the fuck are we?"

"Just cmon." He opened your car door, helping you out and leading the way

You seemed to be in the middle of nowhere, the woods most likely

oh my god was this all a convoluted ploy to murder you?

No of course not

You arrived at a cliff, not a terribly steep one, but dangerous enough in its own right. You wouldn't want to fall off it, that was for certain.

past the treeline, on the very edge of the cliff, was a swingset

"Paul... what is this?"

"I used to come here a lot... after I escaped from the lab I was raised in."

His expression was magical as he stared at the scenery, the sky now both dark and bright with stars all at once

"Paul if you're going to push me off a cliff I swear to god-"

"Y/n." He said sternly, turning to look at you with just as much awe "Trust me. You'll be fine." He bumped his forehead to yours, and motioned for you to leave a clone behind as well.

He clambered onto the small swing as you took a seat next to him in a swing of your own, your feet only inches away from the edge of the cliff.

"Swing." he commanded, like whispering a prayer

and so you did, the two of you swinging high into the night, and it almost felt like flying.

and you realize he's never known what it is to fly.

the rust on the chains and the copy of himself he left behind to stay safe gnawed at you

how often had he fallen off as a reckless and clumsy child and died? only to have a backup standing a few feet away.

The thought made you shudder

"I haven't been here in years" he lamented, leaning against the chain wistfully, like a tuckered out fourth grader

"Paul.... I've enjoyed our fights over the last few years. You know." You nudged his foot with your own, a friendly kick, if you will

He simply sighed in response, before continuing his thought "It's nice to be back with someone I care about, who can appreciate it as much as I do."

There was a warm brevity in the air

nothing needed to be said that would be worth saying, it was a pleasant night held between two people who cared about each other

and the stars shone twice as bright that night

(fun fact this swingset is inspired by a real swingset, over a five-foot drop onto a cement basketball court, my elementary school had, which led to a LOT of kids breaking or twisting their first bones.)

off the rack #1179

Monday, September 11, 2017

Took my brand new tackle box and assortment of lures to the lake this morning to try and catch some fish. I had a blast. I landed a bunch and missed another bunch. Having barbless hooks mean fish can escape easier and it takes more skill and patience to get them in the boat.

Secret Empire #1 - Nick Spencer (writer) Steve McNiven (pencils) Jay Leisten (inks) Matthew Wilson (colours) VC's Travis Lanham (letters).

Secret Empire #2, 3 - Nick Spencer (writer) Andrea Sorrentino with Rod Reis (art) VC's Travis Lanham (letters).

Secret Empire #4 - Nick Spencer (writer) Leinil Francis Yu (pencils) Gerry Alanguilan (inks) Sunny Gho (colours) VC's Travis Lanham (letters).

Secret Empire #5 - Nick Spencer (writer) Andrea Sorrentino with Rod Reis, Joshua Cassara & Rachelle Rosenberg (art) VC's Travis Lanham (letters).

Secret Empire #6 - Nick Spencer (writer) Leinil Francis Yu (pencils) Gerry Alanguilan with Leinil Francis Yu (inks) Rod Reis, Joshua Cassara & Rachelle Rosenberg (additional art) Sunny Gho with Java Tartaglia (colours) VC's Travis Lanham (letters).

Secret Empire #7 - Nick Spencer (writer) Andrea Sorrentino (art) Rod Reis, Joshua Cassara & Rachelle Rosenberg (additional art) VC's Travis Lanham (letters).

Secret Empire #8 - Nick Spencer (writer) Daniel Acuna (art) Rod Reis, Sean Izaakse & Java Tartaglia (additional art) VC's Travis Lanham (letters).

Secret Empire #9 - Nick Spencer (writer) Leinil Francis Yu with Joe Bennett (pencils) Gerry Alanguilan with Leinil Francis Yu & Joe Pimentel (inks) Rod Reis (additional art) Sunny Gho with Dono Sanchez Almara (colours) VC's Travis Lanham (letters).

Secret Empire #10 - Nick Spencer (writer) Steve McNiven (pencils) Jay Leisten (inks) Matthew Wilson (colours) Rod Reis, David Marquez, Peco Medina, Juan Vlasco & Jesus Aburtov, Ron Lim (additional art) VC's Travis Lanham (letters).

Thanks to long time customer and friend Doug Stafford for lending his copies of this Marvel event for me to read. I didn't read them as they hit the racks because I was tired of these big multi-crossover stories that ultimately don't mean much. I realised as soon as I found out that evil Captain America was created by a sentient Cosmic Cube named Kobik, who appears as a little girl, that everything would be back to "normal" at the end and I was right. I've read a lot of good versus evil stories and I needed something different to keep me engaged and there wasn't much here that did that. Yes, I read the whole thing but that's the completist in me. I cannot put aside something that I start without finishing it and so I stuck with this to find out how evil Steve was defeated. My favourite character was Ant-Man and I think I would enjoy a solo Ant-Man book written by Nick Spencer. The art in issue #1 was nice but it looked like Steve McNiven (pencils) and Jay Leisten (inks) were tired doing issue #10. The in between issues had art that varied from acceptable to hard on my eyes. This is worth reading if you like to spot Marvel heroes and villains but otherwise it's not that important in the grand scheme of things in the Marvel U.

Champions #12 - Mark Waid (writer) Humberto Ramos (pencils) Victor Olazaba (inks) Edgar Delgado (colours) VC's Clayton Cowles (letters). This is a good old fashioned super heroes versus super villain fight as Psycho-Man pays a visit from the Microverse. He's got a simple power so there's no need to explain everything about him to new fans who have never heard of the Micronauts. What Mark does to make these stories far more interesting is how he lets us see these heroes interact as friends and team mates. I love this young heroes book.

Jessica Jones #12 - Brian Michael Bendis (writer) Michael Gaydos & Javier Pulido (art) Matt Hollingsworth & Javier Pulido (colours) VC's Clayton Cowles (letters). Jessica closes the case for Maria Hill and the person who put out the hit on Maria is revealed. It's not just good enough to find out who the bad guy is but Brian lets us in on why Maria was targeted and it's a really good twist. The on deck villain will make the next story arc super tense.

Generations: Iron Man & Ironheart #1 - Brian Michael Bendis (writer) Marco Rudy, Szymon Kudranski & Nico Leon (pencils) Szymon Kudranski, Will Sliney, Scott Koblish & Nico Leon (inks) Marco Rudy, Dean White & Paul Mounts (colours) VC's Clayton Cowles (letters). It's Riri Williams' turn to have an adventure with her progenitor to warm up potential new fans for her comic book. There are teasers in this story that may sway fans to give the Invincible Iron Man series a try. The stable of artists used in this one shot may not appeal to some but the writing is solid.

Dastardly & Muttley #1 - Garth Ennis (writer) Mauricet (art) John Kalisz (colours) Rob Steen (letters). The art in this new 6-issue mini is really good for this updated comic book adaptation of an old Hanna-Barbera Saturday morning cartoon show. I bet you a lot of folks will not have a clue about the two aviators and I barely twigged to the title until I started reading. I can still hear Muttley's muffled laugh in my head but here he has a voice. It's nice to see Garth's humorous side back on the racks in a book that isn't only for mature readers. If you liked the Flintstones comic book, you'll like this too.

Kingsman: The Red Diamond #1 - Rob Williams (writer) Simon Fraser (art) Gary Caldwell (colours) Peter Doherty (letters). There's a new Kingsman movie coming out later this month and this new 6-issue mini should get you primed for it. We are introduced to Eggsy, the young British super spy and the new villain the Red Diamond. I liked the recent Nick Fury mini and this one is just as good. Pick it up for some over the top escapism.

Star Wars: Captain Phasma #1 - Kelly Thompson (writer) Marco Checchetto (art) Andres Mossa (colours) VC's Clayton Cowles (letters). I don't get why this Storm Trooper is getting a 4-issue mini since she was only in The Force Awakens briefly. Maybe there's more to her story and they'll reveal it here before The Last Jedi hits the screens. I'm not a big fan of faceless characters, Darth Vader notwithstanding, and her chasing a traitor to the Empire isn't enough to keep me reading, but I'm sure true blue Star Wars fans will like this a lot.

Batman #30 - Tom King (writer) Clay Mann (pencils) Seth Mann (inks) Jordie Bellaire (colours) Clayton Cowles (letters). It's part 2 of "The Ballad of Kite Man". It's a really depressing song but it shows us how "The War of Jokes and Riddles" is going.

Lark's Killer #2 - Bill Willingham (writer) Mark Dos Santos (art) Salvatore Aiala (colours) Thomas Mauer (letters). I don't need Bill's plea to spread the word to old Fables fans to buy his new book because I like it so much I would gladly recommend it to anyone. It's a cool mix of modern and medieval. Lark provides the modern and the land of Hyperborea is the sword and sorcery setting. Please give this a try.

Spider-Man/Deadpool #21 - Elliott Kalan (writer) Todd Nauck (art) Rachelle Rosenberg (colours) VC's Joe Sabino (letters). Here we go again with a Murderworld story as Spidey and Deadpool try to outsmart Arcade and not get killed. Elektra managed to beat the bad guy and I know these buddies will too. It's fun to see what kind of death traps creative teams come up with.

Superman #30 - Keith Champagne (writer) Ed Benes, Tyler Kirkman & Philip Tan (art) Danei Ribeiro, Tomeu Morey & Sunny Gho (colours) Rob Leigh (letters). The 2-parter with Sinestro and Parallax concludes with the bad guys losing once again. This one had a nice message to it.

Astonishing X-Men #3 - Charles Soule (writer) Ed McGuinness (pencils) Mark Morales (inks) Jason Keith (colours) VC's Clayton Cowles (letters). I liked the Wolverine evolution cover because it features prominently in this issue. The team's sojourn into the astral plane to defeat the Shadow King continues with this Old Man Logan solo adventure. I think the good guys just made a big mistake.

Star Wars: Darth Vader #5 - Charles Soule (writer) Giuseppe Camuncoli (pencils) Cam Smith (inks) David Curiel (colours) VC's Joe Caramagna (letters). VC's Joe Caramagna (letters). I didn't know what a Kyber crystal was until now. There's a very well done sequence that made me think that Vader's path was going to change course, but alas it was not to be. An interesting premise though.

Spider-Man #20 - Brian Michael Bendis (writer) Nico Leon (art) Justin Ponsor (colours) VC's Cory Petit (letters). We got a new regular customer at Comet Comics who is a big Miles Morales fan and the two of us geek out over how much we love reading this title when he comes in to pick up the latest issue off the racks. That infectious joy is why I love my job. Miles makes a big life change starting this issue and lands in hot water right from the get go. This book is never boring.
