Tattoos & Rail Guns Chapter 22: Last Minute Preparations
Lieutenant Sawyer was not the only one who had grabbed a quick shower and meal. Rodriguez had gone off to grab a drink or two; he wouldn't get drunk until the mission was over. Samuels had of course disappeared as quickly as possible; his supposed girlfriend had to see him every night or she would call the barracks incessantly; his going to her was a mercy to everyone else. Rodriguez had never met her; it was Samuels’ business so he didn’t pry. Kev had been dismissed but would be summoned as soon as there was a plan.

The Jungle Ride, Chapter Three
Girl-formed no longer but wearing the furious yellow fuzz of a fighting-mad duckling, Miss Ugly flew at the brute, testing his gilded helm with the broadsword she bore in her stubby wingtip. Gachna staggered, his concentration broken so that Maureen’s chains fell slack and she gratefully exhaled, but nor was he slow to parry with his gauntlets Miss Ugly’s sounding ivory blade. Then in a dreadful metallic cacophony new links of lead burst afresh from the shadows, striking like snakes at the warlike waterfowl even as she drove down her frenzied thrusts and passes.

The Jungle Ride, Chapter One
“Hey, look! The jungle ride!” sang out Maureen. They’d just rounded the dodgems in the funfair’s roofed-under section, and it came as some surprise to Maureen’s seniors that she should have opted not for these. Her choice by comparison looked the sort of thing she’d have immediately dismissed as kids’ stuff.

Summer Romances, Chapter Three
By the time the camp was drawing into sight, Juniper could tell it was already as she’d feared. Flashsatsumas was entitled to his privacy, and in an ideal world she’d have done nothing but respect it. The problem was that right now they weren’t in any world, but rather somewhere they could only safely stay by maintaining a precarious balance of which Flashsatsumas’s powers were part. That wasn’t a mix into which you wanted to introduce desire. The tiny taster of the same which had come Mini-Flash Juniper’s way that morning had been reminder enough that all other powers bowed before it, those of rationality and self-restraint first. From the looks of things, Flashsatsumas hadn’t stopped there.

Summer Romances, Chapter Two
Mini-Flash Juniper and Pat had wandered down to the surfline, beyond which the dark sea rolled its mysteries. One such for the former was that she’d suddenly thought of an old classmate, for no reason she could determine. It was enough to wonder why Mini-Flash Piloshiki of all people should have sprung to mind thus, but if she’d been here for real, Mini-Flash Juniper would have known. That was how it worked for the Special Program. Besides, it would have been news to Juniper if any of her party besides herself was even acquainted with the Mini-Flash in question, so putting it down to the unsettled nature of her thoughts she smiled at Pat, who seemed to have noted her momentarily absent look.
