Less. Definitely less. The important b(a|e)yblades all have gods sealed into them too, after all.
Like having a cat, or an unusually active goldfish.
With the wreckage of Darkmount still there and the American government very eager to study it, they decided that it was easiest to rebuild the town.
Carebear stare! Or is that only if a blue lantern did that?

You know you got one of these Oranges in ur universe too right? Better such power in a good guy's hands than that lunatic Larfleeze's.
He tends to gravitate towards big morally complex problems which he then solves with precisely applied overwhelming force. Which makes people glad that the problem is solved, but don't like Paul. Or in other words they want the ends, but they don't want the means.
The carefully study part is debatable. I'd argue that he is very much seeming to fit the stereotypical mold of having a hammer and treating every problem like a nail the more time goes on.
So, she's trying to hack into the plant-based computers? That must be an interesting sensation, interaction with a different kind of plant-life. Hopefully the young lady doesn't suffer any kind of mental backlash from the process. It's almost certainly disorienting.
Hmm... Wonder what Alec Holland got up to in this universe, and whether he became the Avatar of the Green or not...
I'm sure you have backup plans, OL. No need to force the young lady to do something she doesn't want to.
Ah, I see she broke through the firewall... If you can call it that.
Hopefully you'll be able to convert back once you're back on Earth. Might be unpleasant if you can't...
Before anyone asks, 'rhytidome' is simply a fancy word for bark. In this case, her effective superhero costume.
Then they might suffer a little brainstorm, eh? Something you could easily blame on anti-tampering mnemonics.
No, he's simply not as focused a Lantern as OL is. I suspect the closest a Green Lantern could manage is solidifying someone's mental resistance. Effectively building a mental fortress.
Well, at least they're adjusting quickly to their change of mind.
As long as it doesn't break completely, anyway.
Their leadership caste, I take it. Presumably kill-switch software engineered in to avoid just this sort of thing.
So, you can find the humans? That'll save some time.
...Probably not an unreasonable reaction to her little adjustment.
Boy, I bet that's quite the 180 to how he'd behave before...
Surprisingly analog. Then again, I doubt they have any shortage of low-caste soldiers to throw into that work...
Helpful fellow.
And better to disable any defences they can, if only to make things easier when the time for evacuation comes.
Ah, the good old 'scheduled drill, do not worry'. Easy to work around.
Well, that's bad. I am impressed by their thoroughness.
Again, very helpful. Already anticipating their new masters' needs.
How handy. Though there's always the risk they aren't compatible with human physiology.
A long shot, since I doubt the IT guys would know anything more than their systems.
But it shouldn't be too hard to track down someone with the necessary clearance to know.
Which raises the question of what powers will they be looking at, and will the people be friendly or hostile at first? I can't imagine they haven't been put through a mental wringer thus far. And having a 'rescue party' show up would be an interesting scenario for analysis...
Boy, OL might have went overboard there. That's a lot more than a simple flip o' the switch from 'Evil' to 'Good'...
I doubt he'll stick around too long. Especially if his team uncovers the timeline dickery involved in creating this world.
Ha! Not an uncommon reaction to working with OL for any amount of time without prior experience...
It also might be a little bit that Brainwave Two realized that many of the Dominators are not the high caste bastards who signed off on raiding Earth but are just cogs in a fucked up machine. Paul broke the idea of them all as unfeeling bug eyed monsters. The little guy Dominators don't like being part of lab animal experiments, but what can they do? They don't have the big dots on their foreheads.
Yea... You don't want someone who goes around mind breaking people without a shred of guilt in your universe...
I always love seeing Paul flex what he can do in front of new people.
I think that should say 'were only told'.
I think that should be 'he'.
I hope other members of the JSI suddenly realize that if Paul really wanted to, he could probably take on quite a few of them at once and win.
Using bad powers for good reasons and the moral ambiguity for doing so has always been a part of Paul's character. Remember, Diana first assumed that he was a supervillain after hearing that his powers were fueled by greed. That's part of what makes this so entertaining to read.
Thank you, corrected.
Good guys, bad guys, it's all Unnatural Mental Influence.
Thank you, corrected.
Worked for Shego.
I mean... After mind controlling them, yes...
Thank you, corrected.
Of course it is, but I am talking about in regards to the reactions of others.
Especially since I think this is something that stems from his enlightenment and something he could do even without a ring.
??? Is there a chapter with a Kim Possible Paul and he rewrote Shego's desires?
No. I was referring to the whole 'Miss Go' situation where she became a school teacher.
Eh, it's just the rehabilitation ideal of our existing prison system, changing people's goals and motives against their will to match your own morality. Except it's faster, and actually works.
