the joke was on me

Gotham City has been described as many things over the years. Hell on Earth, hopeless, the home of the bats, uncannily similar to Manhattan below Fourteenth Street at eleven minutes past midnight on the coldest night in November— but to just under 10 million people, the best and most fitting descriptor is home. Of course, as the third most crime filled city in the world (with the second being it’s nearby sister city, Blüdhaven) those that call it home aren’t always the friendliest bunch. To even it out, there’s no shortage of vigilantes and antiheroes populating the cities rooftops and alleyways.

the year is 2026. it’s been over a year since the battle for earth that saw thanos & his forces destroyed, and the universe reset. but the world– the universe as a whole is forever changed by the events. the world is still recovering, and as always, new threats linger. can there truly ever be peace? well, even if not, THE AVENGERS work tirelessly to protect the world. now fully funded by the government, approved by the UN, THE AVENGERS has free roam. and with teams like the NEWLY REFORMED SHIELD, THE JUSTICE LEAGUE & MANY MORE GROUPS, there is no end to the supply of people trying to protect this world. but as always, that means the list of enemies rises up to meet.

the newly rebuilt AVENGERS COMPOUND is open– and always looking for more members to join. so why not drop in? join the team, relish in the chaotic fun of this mismatched family and do your part to protect and hopefully rebuild after so much pain. or perhaps, in SHIELD you might find a more fitting place. maybe even the JUSTICE LEAGUE, the titans, JLD or the x-men. this world is wide, and welcoming of people from all walks of life. inhumans, gods, mutants, superheroes, vigilantes, even villains work alongside one another. there is a place for all in the new world.

so, set in a post-endgame world, THE NEW AGE welcomes all. crossing over into countless fandoms, we see many different groups of people co-existing. this group runs as a DISCORD ONLY server and has now been active since MARCH 2020 and we’re always keen for new people to join the fun! any and all fandoms are welcome so long as you can find a way to make it work within this universe. and given the sheer amount of fandoms we already have, it’s highly unlikely there won’t be a fit!

some are considered to be triggering and/or offensive with heavy mentions of death and threatening lives. 

❝ How many lives will you destroy in pursuit of what you call justice? ❞ 

❝ How many more bones would you crush?  ❞ 

❝ What have I got to be afraid of? ❞ 

❝ You’re afraid of being ashes. ❞ 

❝ Talk, or I will crush every bone in your body. ❞ 

❝ If you’re lying, I’ll break the other one. ❞ 

❝ You know, you see a lot in this job. ❞ 

❝ I may never get the chance to tell you this, to say sorry. ❞ 

❝ We’d do anything for our family. ❞ 

❝ I might have told you a teeny, tiny little lie. ❞ 

❝ You did good. We did good! You should be proud. ❞ 

❝ Don’t answer, then. We know the truth. ❞ 

❝ It’s all personal. Very personal. ❞ 

❝ Nature always wins. ❞ 

❝ You don’t scare me. ❞ 

❝ Shh… it’s okay to be afraid. ❞ 

❝ Oh, my head… where… where am I? ❞ 

❝ You can sell them for scrap, if you ever get out. ❞ 

❝ Oh, what’s the matter? Touched a nerve? ❞ 

❝ Just so we’re on the same page here, I fully, intend to kill you. ❞ 

❝ But first, we’re gonna make you suffer. ❞ 

❝ Can you remember when it was simple?  ❞ 

❝ You still haven’t apologized. ❞ 

❝ You know, half the crooks in Gotham think I feed you info. ❞ 

❝ Well yeah, when there’s something in it for me.  ❞ 

❝ Sorry for making criminals think less of you. ❞ 

❝ Hey, have I ever hurt anyone? ❞ 

❝ Hey, boss! We’re gettin’ you outta here! ❞ 

❝ Deep down, I knew war was coming.  ❞ 

❝ I was just waiting for someone to pull the trigger. ❞ 

❝ Something’s changed. You’re different. ❞ 

❝ I prefer to call it a work in progress, but it does show potential. ❞ 

❝ There’s no perfection without a little pain! ❞ 

❝ You know, I was just going to suggest you do that. ❞ 

❝ You’re trapped. There’s nowhere to run. ❞ 

❝ Who said anything about running? ❞ 

❝ Ha! No prison can hold me! Uh, hang on a second. ❞ 

❝ So here’s the part where you tell me off… ❞ 

❝ This is the end. This is the last time we meet. ❞ 

❝ Don’t talk like that, okay? ❞ 

❝ This won’t stop you. Nothing stops you. ❞ 

❝ You don’t want me hanging around, stealing the spotlight. ❞ 

❝ Tea party’s over, freak. Let’s start talking. ❞ 

❝ I give the orders here, not you. ❞ 

❝ And you’ll have three dead cops by the time I’m through. ❞ 

❝ We’ll see about that. Now, quit with the rhymes! ❞ 

❝ Now, now, officer, you mistake me for a snitch. ❞ 

❝ Where are they, you little son of a bitch! ❞ 

❝ Hahahahaha! That certainly scratched my itch. ❞ 

❝ Taking the warden, why not just kill him/her and escape? ❞ 

❝ If you want him/her dead, why come to me? You seem capable. ❞ 

❝ There are many in this city with a gift for causing harm. ❞ 

❝ I’ve seen what your toxin does. I want that. ❞ 

❝ Where am I? What’s happening to me? ❞ 

❝ The world should see you for the worthless thing you are. ❞ 

❝ I told you I knew everything about you, didn’t I?  ❞ 

❝ Spare me the good cop/bad cop routine. ❞ 

❝ See, you’re supposed to keep me talking. ❞ 

❝ Look me in the eye and say that. ❞ 

❝ I’ve had a devil of a time tracking you down. ❞ 

❝ So, it’s over, the whole world knows. What now? ❞ 

❝ I’m not feeling myself tonight. ❞ 

❝ Er, um, you’ll feel better tomorrow.  ❞ 

❝ I trusted you and you just left me to die! ❞ 

❝ Don’t you dare lie to me! ❞ 

❝ Guys, guys, guys, so good to see you.  ❞ 

❝ I’ve got nothing to say to you. ❞ 

❝ I did it. Cornered you. Did what no one else could.  ❞ 

❝ I already know, and I’m not waiting anymore. ❞ 

❝ But know this: it’ll be an act of mercy when you do. ❞ 

❝ Abandon the city, for I will unleash your greatest fears. ❞ 

❝ Lost for words? I expected more… I’m hurt. ❞ 

❝ How long did you wait before replacing me, huh? ❞ 

❝ Without fear, life is meaningless. ❞ 

❝ Why aren’t you scared!? ❞ 

❝ You’re old, you’re predictable and you never stood a chance. ❞ 

❝ You used to put up a fight. ❞ 

❝ I would have kept it when I was finished with you. ❞ 

❝ I’ve trained my mind to feel no pain. ❞ 

❝ Don’t be fooled, don’t think you’re winning. ❞ 

❝ It’s not the face you’re given… It’s the face you choose. ❞ 

❝ If I’m not mistaken, turned out to be rather a long one if I recall… ❞ 

❝ No… no! Those guns, they were mine! ❞ 

❝ Things change. Now, it’s just war. ❞ 

❝ I tried one of those question mark games they have around here.  ❞ 

❝ I pressed the button and burnt the evil bastard myself. ❞ 

❝ You don’t need to worry about us, or feel responsible.  ❞ 

❝ Once I understood your greatest fear, controlling you was simple.  ❞ 

❝ Think very carefully about your next move. ❞ 

❝ That’s what I like about you - predictable!  ❞ 

❝ You will bring death to all who follow you. ❞ 

❝ You were young, full of rage. You still got that fight? ❞ 

❝ Die, knowing that I will make them suffer- every one. ❞ 

❝ You die here, and your legend dies with you. ❞ 

❝ I kinda hoped you’d put more of a fight. ❞ 

❝ Sorry kid. You shoulda stuck to the little leagues. ❞ 

❝ I did it! I actually did it! I mean, of course I did! ❞ 

❝ I don’t think you’ll be solving this one. ❞ 

❝ Riddle me this: What’s dead? You! ❞ 

❝ My only regret is I didn’t kill ‘em myself. ❞ 

❝ You’re dead! Wait, does that mean I’m dead?!  ❞ 

❝ Well that’s what I get for betting it all on black. ❞ 

❝ You survive everything I ever threw at you only to die now, like this? ❞ 

❝ Do me a favor and die already. I got a business to run! ❞ 

❝ Is this some kind of joke? Trying to run me outta Gotham?  ❞ 

❝ I can see the same fire in your eyes. Before this night is through… that fire will consume you. ❞
