Ryan and Labrat sat on a large couch, watching an oversized screen that nearly stretched across the entire wall in his living room. Ryan poured himself a drink, the first for the day but not the last. It was a lot of space for only two people. Onscreen, a reporter introduced the program’s subject, “Sade Sterling is an international model, a member of MENSA and … Continue reading AP Productions: Formerly Known as Brain Boy #4

Stratton Air National Guard Base in Scotia, New York was used mostly for scientific research, particularly the research of the North and South Poles. It was also here that Ryan Bennings developed the Dragonfly armor. Due to the surge in superhuman threats, particularly around the New York area, the National Guard saw fit to develop an armored flight harness that would be used to protect … Continue reading AP Productions: Formerly Known as Brain Boy #3

Getting the Dragon out of the sewage tunnel was trickier than getting the Knight-cycle out. Michael performed a few maintenance checks for his father over the years but he hadn’t flown the craft since he was in high school. Once he got it through the tunnel with a few scrapes along the concrete walls, it handled well enough. His father designed the craft but Rex … Continue reading AP Productions: Cavalier #8

Ryan took a drag from his vape, “I remember the time Cady took me to the Student Dean. He grabbed my arm and marched me across campus like I was going to the principal’s office. Pretty inappropriate, all things considered, but it’s always been hilarious to me and that wouldn’t end up being the worst thing he ever did.

His breathing was controlled and he wasn’t in a rush. He bobbed and weaved around the next few strikes, found his opening, then delivered a straight jab … Continue reading AP Productions: Cavalier #7

Brain Boy Brain Boy Totally rad-i-cal Brain Boy It’s fight’n crime then pizza time It’s Brain Booooooooy! The drunk frat boys at the bar sang the song with the passion and the sincerity of an operatic choir but far more obnoxiously and very-much off key. Ryan Bennings was unamused and didn’t feel like being polite enough to even give a thankful smile but at the … Continue reading AP Productions: Formerly Known as Brain Boy #1

Michael and Arthur made their way through the tunnel, leaving behind the Dragon docked in the small hangar. Minutes later, Springheel-Jack emerged from under the craft. Typically, Arthur would often do a maintenance check on the craft after landing but since the mission was a minor one and they were returning later than expected, he opted not to check that night. As for Jack, he … Continue reading AP Productions: Cavalier #6

1988 … The convention hall was silent, save for a few people shifting in their seats and a single, awkward cough. Many people in the audience scoffed at the crackpot ideas they just spent forty five minutes hearing while others were deeply fascinated for a variety of reasons. Most, however, were utterly horrified. Having just made their final points, the three men stood on stage … Continue reading AP Productions: Badges #5

1998… Michael entered his home, a heavy backpack slung over his right shoulder. As he came through the door, he kicked off his shoes and dropped his bag with a loud THUD!, reminding him that he had far more studying to do now that he was a freshman in high school than he ever had in middle school. The lights had been turned off in … Continue reading AP Productions: Cavalier #5
