Letter to Uncle Beta (or, kids are cute!)

Dear Uncle Beta,
I got a secret! You can't tell anyone, ok? See, the other night, Daddy made me go to bed, and I told him, I'm 12, I don't need togo to bed earlier than the other kids, but he made me anyway, so I stayed and snuck awake. And I saw the most amazing thing! I found out that Gabe and Angy are superheros! So I called cousin Kumo, 'cause he knows all about them 'causea he always borrows Lammy's comic books.And he was telling me all about Batman, and how Batman's a superhero even though he doesn't have any powers, so I invited him over and I said, WE could be superheros!
And then he said, "but I don't want to go to jail!"
And I said, "Stop being a baby and grow up already!"

I said, "Besides, we do have superpowers! And anyway, Gabe and Angela can do it."
And he said, "Well, Gabe is like Superman, he can fly."
"..and you're like Scarlet Witch, you can do magic.."

"But what am I, a giant robot?"

So then I said, "you could wear armor! Like a samurai!" So we decided I'd be Cerulean and he'd be Samurai, and we'll be superheros too! Just like Angy and Gabe!




Love,
Muriel Roidmet

A letter and flashbacks- special update

Dear Sinai,
I've been unable to get out of bed since my son was taken. I just keep remembering the good old days.. back before all of this began

three letters

Dear Dad,
Things are going well, as planned. I've taken the steps we'd agreed upon. Soon the imposter will suffer the way we'd agreed.

Things here seem to be going well also. I've included Lynnie like Mom would want, you should be pleased with how well she's coming along. Someday she'll be a fine necromancer, just like you. She's made a friend among one of our allies, and I think the last member of my little group staying here is warming up to her as well.

As for my condition, it's no better. If I can't cure myself, at least I can devote my life to avenging the wrongs done my family. I know this will succeed, Dad, and you can be proud of me, despite my condition; proud the way a father should be of his only son.





I just wish I could tell you that in person.















Dear mom,

By now I'm sure you've noticed that I'm gone. Probably the dishes needed doing. Well, tough darts. You'll have to do them yourself, because I'm not comiing back. I've finally found some people who understand me, some friends maybe, and I'm not ever going to return to New Haven to live with you.

Do you have ANY idea what it's like growing up in that hellhole? I'm sick of it! I'm sick of your lies and beating around the bush with your secrets. I know damn well who my father is. I've known since third grade. You know, when they teach you that the only way to breed a purebred Theta like me is to breed a Theta with an Omega? Sure, there are all of 4 Omegas in the city that are old enough to be my dad, but of them, who among them matters enough to be kept a secret yet couldn't be around to help with the dishes? Well, no more. I'm done being teased for being fatherless. I'm done keeping your secrets, I'm done being your maid and your ticket to riches, done being groomed to step in "just in case" I somehow get acknowledged by the father that doesn't want me. I'm nobody's maid-- I don't even clean up around HERE!

From now on, I'm a Rebel.

-- Theta 02648, daughter of Theta 4257 (called Hagar).


Dear Mum,

Hi mommy! What's up with you? I hope this letter finds you well-- heck, I hope it finds you. Just because you didn't reply to the last 6 letters I sent doesn't mean you won't get this one, right?

I know you havn't seen me in a while, but I'm doing well. My fur is growing in nicely, just like yours did, and I've been studying dad's books for help with my powers, so don't feel bad. It's not like you abandoned me or anything. I totally understand why the king's former consort wouldn't be able to stick around when he goes evil. But hey, now that he's good again, I'm sure you'll be back any day now, right? In the meantime, I'll keep writing you letters.


Don't worry about me, I'm not lonely or anything. Actually, I've made a few new friends! I've enclosed some photos below. That girl with the black hair is called Theta. She's, let's see... well, she's a distant relation anyway. Through marriage. I like her, she's fun. She can corrupt things with a touch and sometimes at a distance-- the ground gets all bubbly and black, and people get the Plague. But it only takes a little friendship to lighten her mood up.




The boy is named Sigma. I don't know much about him except his mom was called Sigma, and she wasn't a "standard unit", whatever that means. He's got psychic powers, and he's been working on-- oh, I shouldn't tell you that one, it's top secret. Well, when we're all over the news in a few days, you'll find out, I'm sure. I know he's cute, but...


somehow I don't think he's quite interested.

Write back soon!

Your daughter,
Lyn

Letter to Mr Lee

Dear Mr. Lee,

I am writing to you concerning your recent written exchanges with the Crown Prince. I am Princess Angela Roidmet, aged 18, and I am very concerned for my brother. What follows in this letter is to be kept with utmost secrecy.


You see, upon attending a social engagement with an esteemed noble couple, alone, the Crown Prince failed to return. We have yet to receive any demands indicating kidnapping; however, I know my brother well, and he would not simply abandon his kin. He has been missing a week now, and I am concerned that you, as one of his correspondants, might know of his whereabouts. Rest assured, however, that even though I found your address taped to his mirror, I am not suspecting or implicating you in this case; however, if you do not cooperate with the Crown, you may find yourself subject to an investigation.

Please, Mr Lee, if you have any information at all, it would be simply heartless to keep it from my family. My mother has taken ill as a result- she is very frail and prone to bouts of illness that leave her bedridden whenever she is grief-stricken, and she admits no-one to her chamber until her firstborn is returned. She's even taken to wearing strange, foreign clothing from her days adventuring, caring naught for her appearance!
I, on the other hand, have nothing but faith that my brother will be returned home and all will be well with my family. If he does not return home, I'll have to look for him myself.




Sincerely,
Princess Angela Eve Roidmet

Author's comments- the hair change isn't really a hair change. They both pulled their hair back into a ponytail- Metatron is wearing the OFB short male ponytail because his hair is long enough that it, realistically, would need to be pulled back like Angel's. The angle on the pics merely doesn't show the ponys. Metatron recolored costume made by me; Angel costume a recolor by me of Power Girl by Synapticsim, who can be found lurking here
