Dear Diary,
Warburg.
It's not part of Paragon, nor is it a Rogue Island. The Freedom Corps and Arachnos both vie for control of this island, which is overrun by a cell of rogue Arachnos.
Black Talon gave me a message via DJ Zero to meet him there. I took that message and went to the coordinates he specified... it's a tall building, probably 500 feet up and not a lot of rooftop keeping one from falling to their death. Sooner or later, he landed on the rooftop as well.
"Ellen," he said, "I'm glad you were smart enough to take me up on this offer. So, are you ready to give your life to the Council?"
I looked at him, and around the warzone surrounding us. I thought of Vanessa, and all the people I've saved.
"No" was my answer. "I don't know how you're still alive... and I don't know why you joined the Council. But I know that I can't go through with it."
"Then," replied Talon, "You must die."
(OMG TWO PARTER! CLIFFHANGERS FTW!)
(PART 2!!!)
We charged at each other, and threw our best blows at each other. His strikes packed a lot of punch, but it wasn't just his natural strength...the electricity he controlled was behind it as well, and it sapped my strength as well. We battled hand to hand, and eventually he became a ball of electricity. His shock attacks made me feel pain that I never thought imaginable. I was certain I was going to die on that rooftop.
But I decided not to just lay down and let it happen. Thinking only of Vanessa, I threw one last desperate punch. I knew it landed, but how hard, I couldn't tell. I was so wracked by pain I only heard the sound of flesh hitting flesh.
And that's the last thing I remembered.
(What happened? How did Ellen survive? Find out in the LAST CHAPTER of this story!)
((This is an awsome story line. And just one little question, what does BDSM stand for?))

I woke up in Chiron Hospital, people shouting, "She's coming too! Miss Avenger's alive!". I felt my mask was still on my face, and looked up at one of the nurses.
"What happened?" I asked her, and she replied that I was found by a Longbow field agent. I asked her about Black Talon, and I was answered by Indigo, a contact of mine, who I had just realized was sitting at bedside.
"He is... was... called Blood Talon since he moved to the Rogue Isles. We think he was knocked off the building all the way to sea level. He died on impact."
I nodded. "That's okay. The real Black Talon died months ago."
Indigo knew what I meant, and left me alone to recover.
I came home past midnight, to my empty, dark apartment. The mentor I looked up to dead, the woman of my dreams gone forever. I never felt so alone in my entire life.
Then I turned on the lights.
"Ellen," said the voice I never thought I'd hear again, "welcome home."
"Vanessa...I thought I told..."
"Yes, you told me to go somewhere safe. I can think of nowhere safer than in your arms."
I hugged her tighter than I ever had before. I knew it was going to be dangerous for the both of us, my fighting crime. But now, with Vanessa by my side, I never felt stronger in my entire life.
(FIN)
(Wow... if it's this popular I may add another story arc...)
Dear Diary,
I've thought about Talon's proposal all day. I couldn't join him, because I'd be turning my back against the people who need me here in Paragon City. I can't refuse or the Council will hurt Vanessa.
Eventually I came up with a solution. It's not necessarily a good outcome, but it's the best I can come up with. I only hope it works.
I called Vanessa... I got her answering machine. She said she was doing a cover for Adjective magazine so I wasn't suprised.
"Vanessa, it's me, Ellen," I started, tears already welling up in my eyes. "I need to tell you something and I think it's best I tell you in this message. I'm a superhero... the BDSM Avenger.... I'm sorry I couldn't tell you this earlier but I needed to keep you safe, that's why I wanted you to stay in LA.... but now you're not even safe... remember Black Talon? Well he's not really dead, and I was his sidekick.... and he's a villian now. My options are to join him or he'll come after you. So here's what I want you to do babe. Leave LA right away. Go somewhere where you'll never be found, where nobody knows you. And please, for your sake, don't call me. I love you Vanessa... I love you so much I'd rather not hear your voice again than let you get into harm's way... goodbye."
I hung up and had to cry myself to sleep.
I know I'll miss her, but what choice did I have?
Will she hate me for this? Or will she understand?
I just wish there was another way...
