The Zion City Chronicles 1.1

summary: 

In a world of super-powered beings, there are those that use their power for the wellbeing of all, as well as for the protection of justice, the heroes, and the ones that use them to enact despicable deeds, the villains. 

Zion City has had its fair share of heroes and villains, all of them memorable in their own ways, but their current hero, one that goes by the name of Shadik, is, in all honesty, a disappointment. 

Shadik, scorned by all, must protect Zion City with the help of her new, inexperienced partner while rebuilding her reputation, but something is brewing in Zion City’s shadows. Something evil. 

Something that will bring everyone in Zion City down if they get in the way to its goal. 

______

"GIVE ME THAT." She growled, her blazing eyes hidden by the sweat-damp bangs hanging in front of her face, as she tried to snatch the alcoholic beverage from the suited man in front of her.

"Shadik," he called, "it is in your best interest to hold your tongue and sit down."

The man, a handsome lad in his thirties, pointed towards the couch just behind the spandex covered individual called Shadik.

"JUST GIVE ME THE FUCKING VODKA." The distraught woman cried, her fingers curling into her hand as a bright purple light started to grow in her palm.

The man didn't move an inch, not surprised by the power the infuriated female was displaying, and simply gave the glass bottle to one of his many subordinates, who threw it out of the apartment's window.

"NO!" Shadik yelled, running up to the window just to see the shards of the bottle scattered in the ground seven stories below. She pulled on her black hair and turned towards the man. "WHY DID YOU DO THAT? THAT BOTTLE WAS MINE! YOU HAD NO RIGHT TO THROW AWAY SOMETHING THAT BELONGS TO ME!."

The man more commonly known as the Chancellor stared impassively at the raging female before bluntly establishing that "You are forgetting your place Shadik. We are upholders of law and justice, and not even your involvement with our organization will be a sufficient excuse for breaking the law regarding underage drinking."

"I AM NOT DRINKING UNDERAGE! I AM OF LEGAL DRINKING AGE IN GERMANY AND-"

"You are only eighteen, Shadik. Therefore, you must not drink until you turn twenty-one years old and I am not going to give you leeway to break the law just because you are in a mood."

Shadik growled. "So, you won't let me drink, but you will break the law to keep me in your employ? That's underage labour!"

A shadow crossed the Chancellor's perfectly shaven face, and with a glance at the many superheroes standing in the apartment's large living room, ordered them to grab the rebellious teenager.

The fight between the superheroes and Shadik was short-lived, and soon Shadik found herself restrained by all of them and forced to hear the Chancellor speak uninterrupted.

"You are erratic, Shadik. You are destroying the city more than you are saving it and have failed countless times to either catch the villains or protect the civilians."

"We've been lenient to you given your family history but this behaviour must stop, Shadik. As of now, you are deemed unfit to be the sole protector of the city."

Shadik's grey eyes widened at the implications behind said statement, and a burning blush appeared on her grime-covered cheeks as the Chancellor bluntly discredited her work in the city.

"You are to be assigned a partner, a co-hero if you must. You are required to provide housing but the League will cover all their living expenses."

The rest of the powered people in the room gasped. It was unheard of for a hero to be partnered with another hero for long term situations, and tarnished Zion City's reputation not only in the super-powered world but in the civilian one.

The Zion City people would not be kind to this new, unfortunate hero, not when they already had one, as incompetent as they considered Shadik to be.

"Your partner will be here in a week. In the meanwhile, whenever you receive a crime alert, it will be redirected to one of the available heroes to deal with. You must not engage until your partner has arrived "

Shadik's blood boiled, she was not useless! The Chancellor was stabbing at her already wounded pride with a red hot pole just by degrading her this way in front of a quarter of the League's heroes, but giving her a partner and announcing it?

That was the worst thing he could've ever done to her.

With a wave of the Chancellor's hand, the rest of the heroes released Shadik, who remained speechless at the revelations, and left the apartment with nothing but pitying stares directed at the unfortunate host.

The Chancellor stood from his seat in the leather armchair and stalked towards the shocked teenager. He laid a hand on her shoulder and looked directly into her dull grey eyes.

"You are no Zion, Shadik. Don't try to be something you can't be."

These were the Chancellor's last words before he left Shadik's apartment, silently shutting the door after him.

can’t stop thinking about percy’s claiming scene now let me hold on a second.

we have this child, who has barely just escaped death by a hellhound, seemingly being healed by water. the girl who kinda-sort-of-hates-him knows full well what is happening. his wounds heal. she mutters about how she didn’t want this to happen. this could only mean one thing. poseidon, they whisper. and sure enough, just above his head, is a holographic figure of a trident.

ngl i have chiron’s line memorized by now lol.

“earthshaker, stormbringer, father of horses. hail perseus jackson, son of the sea god.”

and it’s just beautiful imagery, because everyone bows to him. everyone, as in, even the ares kids who had just tried to kill him. and it hits different if you think about how technically, percy jackson is a sea prince. it hits different when you realize that in canon, no other demigod got this treatment. maybe it was because few children of poseidon existed in comparison to zeus, or that poseidon is seen as a more elemental and primordial god, therefore is shown more respect. it hits different when you realize that percy becomes a figure of respect and dignity.

whatever the case, this scene FUCKS ME UP. annabeth bows down, chiron bows down, luke bows down, clarisse bows down…and meanwhile, the kid in question is scared out of his goddamn mind. he just thinks: why are they treating me this way? i don’t want this power. i don’t want this attention. i don’t want respect. because, here’s the thing—he’s not used to it.

but from then on…percy will be treated this way, like royalty, bc technically he is. his father is the ruler of the seas, and the ocean has always been feared, has always been respected and admired. and not only that, but he grows into that power. it’s so interesting to see this little boy who was just told, in the most dramatic way possible, who his father is—and then see a dramatic change in his character during botl when he wants more power as he cleans the horse stables in texas and realizes that the sea was inside of him all this time. that he is unrestrained. it’s so interesting to go from a little boy who wants nothing to do with his dad and his powers to a 16 year-old who sinks his sword into the williamsburg bridge and causes it to split in half. like his father did in athens. he commands armies, becomes his father’s son as he screams out when he realizes that michael yew is nowhere to be found, and so, with that scream, he makes the ground shake. he unleashes that power with titans, with gods, with monsters. and he cannot be stopped from then on, when he realizes that it’s inside him, that he has no choice but to want it. even if it scares him, at first.

so that claiming scene creates, in my mind, this domino effect on percy and his link to the ocean. to his father.

earthshaker, stormbringer…it all comes full circle. and the next time a group of demigods bow down to him, i can assure you that he’ll accept it, grimly. because what choice does he have? he is poseidon’s mortal son, and still he makes the ground shake and the seas rise to his command. he is the camp leader—but each day that his powers grow, everyone questions if he’s truly half human in the first place, or if he maybe belongs to the sea, as his father’s lieutenant like zeus had suggested in the first place.

and it all👏starts👏with👏that👏claiming👏scene

i have such a love for characters who descend into madness or villainy out of deep, deep empathy. characters who fundamentally cannot cope with the cruel realities they find themselves in and blow up about it in spectacular fashion. fallen angel type characters with tears of outrage in their eyes. characters who break before they bend, and break so badly they splatter blood all over their noble ideals. every variation on it gets me so good

why can’t i stay in bed all day reading books and listening to music while creating fake scenarios in my head like there isn’t a law against it so wtf
