Chapters 15 and 16 of 26
by Tiffany Shar

Edited by Carla Ann

 

Megan Franchino knows her chance for escape is now or never. With school finally out for her son Antonio, and her abusive husband going out of town she just might get far enough away before he starts looking for them. If they fail to get away, Megan knows she will not live to regret trying. There is no choice though, their recent injuries prove that if they stay one or both of them will eventually die from the beatings.

There is only one place she might feel safe to go, but will she be welcome there? Can she even get there? How long can she stay? What then? And if her husband's family does catch up to them, is there any way to keep Tony safe?

So here we are again. Words of advice; don't forget which chapters you've uploaded in your own stories - if there is a server crash, you can anger Erin (sorry again Erin! Please don't use the whip again!)

So we come to boot camp; I'll be honest, never been. If any of my boot camp as written (assuming the differences between a 'normal' as opposed to a summoner boot camp aren't what you focus on) please let me know. I welcome realism on this subject.

Enjoy.

The Hyperverse Gazetteer

The Hyperverse is a continually expanding universe where superheroes, and villains exist. Given the number of different characters, locations, and powers present in this world there is a lot of information. Brianna Eketta has generously put a lot of time and effort into compiling all that information into a single source for both the author(s) and readers.

This database will be updated and expanded as the universe grows and the story lines all come together.
