(It's almost Thanksgiving 2005 as I write this- some months after I finished writing the second story. I've decided to do some major work getting this chapter up on The idea was to get all the third issue up as well tonight, but I need to edit that a bit.

I don't know what I'll even do when and if I get this story done. I'm thinking I might skip a few months ahead to the Hallows and do a quicker story. Just keep jumping forward in time as much as the story allows. I am not currently playing City of Heroes, so I'm in no rush to get it to present time. I do, however, look forward to doing a City of Villains related story at some point.

This's just a little bit touching on the storyline that continues next issue- enjoy!

Epilogue

The connection between Wilde Tanke and Jennifer Delong started, like a lot of relations do, with a simple, primal, powerful, desperate physical lust for each other. They saw a familiar pain in each other's eyes, and wanted to fix it. But more than that, they wanted each other. That feeling was a lot stronger in their second face to face meeting. Jennifer lied every way she could to convince him- and herself- the Skulls were far more noble than they appeared. Wilde, eager to agree with this striking young woman, made himself buy into lies he normally would have chuckled at.

She got him in a room in an abandoned office to try to seduce him. Or maybe Wilde got her into the room to try to seduce her. Either way, they were partially undressed and making out when another one of the Skull sluts interrupted to see if he'd agreed to join. The other girl looked at him lustfully while Jennifer looked at her threateningly. Noticing the stranger's reaction was enough to make Wilde agree to join.

The initiation later that day was physically taxing and painful, but nothing Wilde hadn't gone through with his own powers..

Wilde Tanke- would be hero .. and Skull?

He lied to himself in his own thoughts about wanting to "change them from with in" as he looked at Jennifer.. The other woman kissing him afterwards is what ends our chapter, however..
