The Last Sun of Krypton

"It is a remarkable dichotomy. In many ways, Clark is the most human of us all. Then... he shoots fire from the sky, and it is difficult not to think of him as a God. And how fortunate we all are that it does not occur to him." Independent Superman RP blog, mixture of Comic and Movie Verse. Will RP with anyone in any fandom. Mun and Muse are both 18+, NSFW content will be tagged. Tracking the tag: #thelastsunofkrypton Blog is a WIP.

GET TO KNOW DC COMICS QUEEN: Lois Lane ↳ “[Lois Lane] just has this absolute loyalty for what is good and right and just, and it parallels what Superman is and what he embodies.”

[rpsentencestarters]

Shout at my muse to see how they respond:

[thelastsunofkrypton]

"I shouldn’t be in love with you!" “It’s not fair!” “I could kill you right now!” “Knock it off!” “Screw you!” “You’re a complete moron!” “I love this song!” “Bring that here!” “I hate you!” “I’m pissed off!” “Make me!” “I wish you’d never been born!” “I bought ice cream!” “Kiss my ass!” “Shut up!” “I can’t do it anymore!” “Take me home!” “Just kiss me already! “I can’t be in love with you!” “I can’t believe this!” “Piss off!” “I wish things were that simple!” “I love you!” “Jump off a bridge!” “You’re so hot!”

Razor’s Edge: My muse will be stuck right on the edge of orgasm but unable to bring themselves over.

"F-f-fuck. I hate you."

[doctorbrycebanner]

She’s too wound up by the fact that she can’t find release to bring herself to apologize. Not that she necessarily would. Sometimes her sarcastic and bitter sense of humor is the only thing she has. “The only way you’re going to be able to help is if you… well… you know… help. Though if I wasn’t able to help myself I’m not sure if you would be able to either.”

[thelastsunofkrypton]

Help? Wait, she couldn't mean... Oh. Oh. Well, that was an interesting prospect, and one that he didn't find entirely disagreeable. In fact, he found his face flushing at the thought of it, but it probably wouldn't be right. Right? She was obviously in some form of distress. But then again, she had suggested it...

"Well... I mean... I'd be willing to try, but... are you sure that you'd want me to help?"

[doctorbrycebanner]

Razor’s Edge: My muse will be stuck right on the edge of orgasm but unable to bring themselves over.

"F-f-fuck. I hate you."

[doctorbrycebanner]

"Oh no," she deadpanned. "The thought never even crossed my mind. I can’t believe I didn’t consider it before. What a novel idea."

[thelastsunofkrypton]

Rude.

"Well, sorry, I was just trying to help."

[doctorbrycebanner]

Razor’s Edge: My muse will be stuck right on the edge of orgasm but unable to bring themselves over.

"F-f-fuck. I hate you."

[doctorbrycebanner]

She made a frustrated noise that had a hint of desperation in it. “No, I’m not all right. And no, it’s not the Other Gal.”

[thelastsunofkrypton]

Clark could hear, see and smell the reason that she seemed to be so upset, though he was trying his damndest to be tactful about it. His enhanced senses were sometimes more of a burden than a gift. 

"Ah, well... have you tried... dealing with it?" he asked uncertainly, not sure if she would take his advice the wrong way.

[doctorbrycebanner]

Temporary tattoos could make electronic telepathy and telekinesis possible

Temporary electronic tattoos could soon help people fly drones with only thought and talk seemingly telepathically without speech over smartphones, researchers say. Electrical engineer Todd Coleman at the University of California at San Diego is devising noninvasive means of controlling machines via the mind, techniques virtually everyone might be able to use.

Commanding machines using the brain is no longer the stuff of science fiction. In recent years, brain implants have enabled people to control robotics using only their minds, raising the prospect that one day patients could overcome disabilities using bionic limbs or mechanical exoskeletons.

But brain implants are invasive technologies, probably of use only to people in medical need of them. Instead, Coleman and his team are developing wireless flexible electronics one can apply on the forehead just like temporary tattoos to read brain activity.

"We want something we can use in the coffee shop to have fun," Coleman says.

The devices are less than 100 microns thick, the average diameter of a human hair. They consist of circuitry embedded in a layer or rubbery polyester that allow them to stretch, bend and wrinkle. They are barely visible when placed on skin, making them easy to conceal from others.

The devices can detect electrical signals linked with brain waves, and incorporate solar cells for power and antennas that allow them to communicate wirelessly or receive energy. Other elements can be added as well, like thermal sensors to monitor skin temperature and light detectors to analyze blood oxygen levels.

Using the electronic tattoos, Coleman and his colleagues have found they can detect brain signals reflective of mental states, such as recognition of familiar images. One application they are now pursuing is monitoring premature babies to detect the onset of seizures that can lead to epilepsy or brain development problems. The devices are now being commercialized for use as consumer, digital health, medical device, and industrial and defense products by startup MC10 in Cambridge, Mass.

A little on the nose, perhaps, though these humans weren’t the most imaginative bunches. “I appreciate you coming all this way, Superman. And of course, I shall offer my city to those in need. But I’m sure you can understand; I cannot leave my post. My people need a guiding hand, and mine is the only one, currently.”

[thelastsunofkrypton]

"Oh, no, you misunderstand. You wouldn't have to leave your post at all, Queen Medusa," he explained, having gone through this more than once. "The League doesn't require anything except that you help however and whenever you can. If that means providing sanctuary, or providing manpower, anything would be helpful. If you would allow me," he trailed off as he reached down to his belt and pulled out a small, circular device emblazoned with a stylized "JL" on the back. "This communicator would allow you to contact the league, and vice versa, from anywhere in the world. If you ever find yourself in need of any kind of help, we'd be happy to provide it."

[heirtoattilan-blog]

"Yes. Near human in appearance, known natural abilities is just an extended lifespan. They have an empire in the Spartan star systems. Two greatest rivals are the Kree Empire and the Shi’ar Empire.

"… I’ve done some reading in my family’s library. At least what now remains of it."

[thelastsunofkrypton]

Kree and Shi'ar. Now those two he knew about. They hated Kryptonians, mostly because of an encounter where a single Kryptonian scout ship wiped out a battlefleet each of both empires. They didn't take too kindly to that, even though they were the ones who engaged in hostilities and the scout ship was so damaged that they had to crash-land on Earth, killing everyone on board.

"Well, a little. Though Kryptonians have a very large number of abilities when we're exposed to a yellow sun."

[medusx-archive]

She had never heard of this King Orin. The man she knew before Namor was a different one. Was he some kind of conman? “Who are you? Name yourself.”

[thelastsunofkrypton]

"I am Kal of the house of El. Most folks just call me Superman, though," he said modestly, clearly not really approving of the moniker. 

[heirtoattilan-blog]

"… Are they like the Spartoi?"

[thelastsunofkrypton]

"Are they aliens?"

[medusx-archive]

Well, now she was quite confused. “You wish for me to join… a team? Like the Avengers? I am not a woman of leisure, Sir — I am a Queen, with a newborn country. I already have people to protect.” 

[thelastsunofkrypton]

"No, not quite like the Avengers," he started off, trying to figure out how to word the actual point of the league.

"The team has no national borders or commitments to any one nation. King Orin of Atlantis and Diana, Princess of Themyscira are already on the team. The point of the League is to network the more non-affiliated supers, allow us to form a coordinated response to any disaster anywhere in the world."

[medusx-archive]

We have nothing to hide. New Attilan has its doors open for everyone.

[ Unfortunately, in this instance ]

[thelastsunofkrypton]

Clark got the distinct feeling that she was not a fan of his, which would make his actual point much harder to bring up. Oh well, nothing ventured nothing gained.

"Ah... right. Well, I'm actually here to ask you if you would be interested in joining... a league that myself and several other heroes are forming. The goal is simply to protect people and help each other when we need the help." 

[medusx-archive]

And how may I assist you today?

[thelastsunofkrypton]

"Well... I would like to know how you guys managed to hide all of this, but I get the feeling that's not gonna happen."

[yourgalacticgirl]

Oh, whoa. He knew her name?! Betty had been trying to gather the courage to strike up conversation herself, only expecting any exchange to consist of a smile and a couple of pleasant words, but Superman had spoken to her first. With her name.

Not “Atomic Betty”, either. Betty Barrett. Hardly anyone out here in space knew that. Either he’d been speaking to people high up in the Galactic Guardians, or she hadn’t covered her tracks on Planet Earth as well as she’d thought.

Gosh, he was big up close. Betty was small even at home, but she still had at least a head to go before she’d even start to be level with his chest. If she wasn’t tilting her head right back, she’d be staring right at his stomach.

"I, uh—!" She responded, startled, green eyes wide and cheeks flushing immediately with dark red. This was Superman she was speaking to, after all, and Betty fumbled to give a smart police salute. If it was possible for her voice to pitch higher with nerves, it did. “Y-Yes, sir, that’s me! What can I do for you?”

[thelastsunofkrypton]

Clark chuckled and raised his hands when she snapped him a salute, mostly because this usually happened when he was dealing with the younger heroes and he was pretty used to it by this point. "Please, Captain Barrett, there's no reason to salute. Technically, you outrank me," he informed the Galactic Guardian, hoping to ease some of her nervousness. He was technically a Station Commander in the Kryptonian Planetary Defense Force, but that was only because otherwise he wouldn't be able to operate the computer at the Fortress of Solitude. The suit he wore was actually a dress uniform for that military body. 

"I'm actually friends with Sentinel Hal Jordan of the Green Lantern Corps, and he's the one who told me about you," he said as he approached her, stopping when he was a few feet away and trying to make himself as unimposing as possible without getting down on one knee. "From what I understand, you and your crew do a lot of good work out here and on Earth, whenever you can. That's actually the reason I came to find you," he explained as he reached to his belt and pulled a small circular device from it, which was emblazoned with the logo of the Justice League.

"On behalf of the Justice League, I would like to offer you a position as a reserve member. It won't interfere with your duties as a Galactic Guardian, but it will network you with a number of other heroes. Are you interested?" he asked, a smile on his face as he offered the communicator to the young Captain.
