I've seen this story a few times in the past and have ignored it and I'm not sure why having read it in 2 days I love it keep up the good work

Dude that’s not how someone from the hood speaks hahaha. That’s how people who aren’t friends with/have never spent time with African Americans think they speak.

Why is Metropolis in Delaware?

Thanks for updating!

Eli/Yellow Jacket:

Shit...it looks like Barbara and Eli relationship is not going to be stable and their conflicting morality is really pushing them apart. One has to give way for their relationship to work and I do not see either giving way from each idea. Yellow Jacket seems be making a name in Dakota and all the Bang-Babies, given now that Yellow Jacket shows he willing to put bullet in the Meta-Humans. Bang-Babies were gang-bangers or people close to the explosion that got powers. Yellow Jacket inspires a old feeling of fear of being taken out by bullet by some unknown person in the streets. It rather interesting that Yellow Jacket or Hornet seems to be doing okay with Static so far. Eli wants Static autograph for the kids in New Camford and it seems that Eli seems be getting Static to look at different ways to stop criminals. Not with violence, but doing undercover work and Eli wants Static to be hero that he is. I do like how Lyta is keeping Eli thinking about Nightwing plan, the team and reflecting on his mother. It rather interesting what Wonder Girl and Yellow Jacket will have more dialogue as story keeps going. Eli is starting to understand his mother more as he continues his journey as Yellow Jacket, Hornet, Killer Bee or whatever people start calling him. Most likely, Eli will get his shot at Tobias Whale and how that will raise his status in the Villain and Hero communit.

Question

1) Have you watched the "Harley Quinn" Series? What do you think?

Suggestion

1) Well, I like it, but I want your own thoughts on that. It would be interesting to read your thoughts on a Mature cartoon series like "Harley Quinn" cartoon, which is interesting. I wonder what it would be like if Harley had a regular goon that changed and grew along with Harley Quinn rise to being a real Villain. I mean, Harley Quinn crew is interesting- Doctor Psycho, Clayface, and Killer Shark. We also get Poison Ivy. Season 2 gives me hope and the Cartoon Series has a lot of different DC Characters besides keeping it into the Batman/Gotham City.

Sorry for not reviewing sooner and it being short.

Keep safe, stay healthy and keep up the good work!

great series. I'll admit it I struggled through the first 2 chapters. felt way to slow and didnt care any for hi a personal issues. I dont mind OC personal life stuff. just felt it was to slow or something. BUT I'm glad i did. gets amazing and continues that way the rest of the way.

Also I realized the MC reminds me of Wild Dog from Arrowverse/Comics. ... not some prodigy or super ninja or meta. but a guy wanting to make difference.

Sadly it seems it's impossible for Red hood to appear. I mean he should be robin for like 2yrs then die and appear 6months after that as Red Hood. I imagine Jason could appear as a robin but no RH ever...

Wild Dog, Red Hood, Arsenal, and Artemis t
(the Amazon) could of been good partners for our MC

Also I have a few ideas. And again, I love this Fanfiction, keep doing what you're doing.

1. It would be awesome if Eli got a signature gun, like the Torus Raging Hornet. Watch DemolitionRanch video on it to find out why its a badass gun.

2. As for Eli's role in Nightwing's Team, I don't see Eli being a public or fulltime member of it considering that he does things differently, if it was public knowledge that he was in the team, it could ruin the reputation of the other team members because the heros and the public (excluding the people that support Eli) would believe that the other team members condone and supports how he operates, which would make people question if their even real heros like batman and Superman. And also considering how smart Nightwing is, I think he'll know that it shouldn't be public knowledge while the team is just starting out since it could cause damage to their reputation. So I think Nightwing would have on one side, the Titans that everyone knows about, and then a sort of black ops version that the public doesn't know about that only consist of Eli, Nightwing, and anyone else that is ok with hornets waybof doing things. Nightwing would still be the leader for the public version of the Titans, but when it comes to the Black Ops version, Nightwing is still in charge of it, but Eli leads the missions since they would be doing things his way. Kinda like in Overwatch where Soldier 76 was the leader of Overwatch, but made Reaper the head of the Black Ops Overwatch. Nightwing would still be the one in charge, but when it comes to the black ops version he leaves it to Eli, but still supervises Eli's missions. Idk if im accurately conveying what I mean, like, the other Titans will know about the Black Ops division and how it operates, but the public won't.

3. It would be cool to see how the heros and villains react to Eli after they put Tobias in jail (or kill hopefully). Eli is popular because of all the social media surrounding him, but i don't think people like Deadshot, Deathstroke, Batman, and Wonder Woman consider him all that Dangerous. I mean, I know Batman and Wonder Woman think that, but they think anyone that kills someone is dangerous. It would be nice to see Eli be recognized as someone that could possibly deal with the big hitters (Even if we as the viewers know that he can't yet).

4. Will the original Teen Titan characters make an appearance? Like Starfire, Cyborg, Raven, and Beast Boy? Or their villains? It would be cool if Starfire was in it because she could (obviously) be in the public Titans and also be in the Black Ops division since she is a warrior that can understand that some people just need to be put down.

5. More Brittney, she's adorable.

6. And one last thing. Please don't make him stop killing people. It's what makes him unique and stands out from all the other vigilantes. He's willing to kill someone if he believes that theirs no hope for them, or if their just too evil or fucked up to live, or if he thinks that they'll just go to prison and escape and do the same shit again.

Im so happy there's another chapter. This is easily my favorite story of yours

Interesting

dude i tried to look up Malcolm Jackson, and i couldn't find a dc character that goes by that name, so you should put oc tag on your story so people can filter it out.

Love this Story so far, I hope you'll come around to continuing it :)

What a slow story.

Thanks for updating and this was a great chapter!

Author Notes:

I think that was very informative part of the chapter. I look forward to more updates on "The Marking of a Hero", which will be interesting! Eli training information was good, given that Eli can hold his own with long-range, mid-range and short-range combat. Dinah/Black Canary becoming a emotional support, such as mentor/adult figure in Eli life to rely on is good. I'm glad that Leliah and Eli relationship will be mixed up and never truly resolve, because most people don't have that with conflicting issues with their family members choices. The Saint Row Children, is very interesting and I can read Eli just using them to keep around because he knows how they operate and possible Eli as Killer Bee intimidate George so much that they might have informant issue with each other on maintaining order in New Camford. Also, it just great that Eli own vigilante Codename will eventually be settled one-way or another.

Eli Jackson:

This was great! Although, I was sad that Barbara and Eli have hit the peak of their relationship along with it going down hill from here. I just think Barbara and Eli can't work out- one parent Police Officer and another Lawyer, or Killer Bee/Yellow Jacket being willing to kill while Batgirl follows the traditional route of DC heroism. It rather interesting that Eli is having awkward time joining Nightwing Teen Titans team up, but also setting the record straight on who he is to the team. Yellow Jacket/Killer Bee has his own agenda. Eli hates being Viglante, but is noticing more change he brings to New Camford. Eli almost got the rhythm of being his own Hero, but his final trails are not here yet. He will kill the Hound, but also make big enemies with Holocaust and Tobias Whale will have a new enemy they both hate. Lyta, Eli and Barbara WILL NOT have love triangle. It just going to be something simple as time passing on with some relationships working out or not. Damn! It doesn't help that Eli comes from divorce.

Barbara/Batgirl:

This is going to be interesting. Barbara finding out her boyfriend was Killer Bee/Yellow Jacket, is very problematic. Not to mention if Eli and Barbara relationship can even work after this. I mean, as vigilantes they don't get along with each other. As civilians, they are romantic together. Now that the secret out, a lot of conflict cannot really be resolved. Barbara can't change Eli, Dinah/Black Canary is trying that through mentoring. Eli has very conflicted feeling about being hero, given he hates his father being Army Ant and yet Eli knows as Yellow Jacket he doing more good than he thought possible. Barbara won't be able to make her relationship with Eli to work, but they will have some sweet memories to remember the high point of their relationship.

Questions

1) Should we expect Static, Gear and Raquel feel about Killer Bee/Yellow Jacket use of weapons, such as guns?

2) When Eli is apart of the Teen Titans, then wouldn't be likely Yellow Jacket/Killer Bee learn more techniques and skills to help him as viglangte?

3) How likely will we read Eli time travel or travel to other dimensions? Any chances that Eli as Killer Bee/Yellow Jacket going to Neo Gotham meeting Terry McGinnis/Batman of that time?

Suggestions

1) I look towards the Cartoon, more than the comic. I know Virgil mom was killed by bullet and Richie was shot by classmate at School Shooting. Don't know much about Raquel. Two out of Three of these Dakato Heroes could easily have issue with Killer Bee/Yellow Jacket, so that something to consider. I have to admit, I do wonder if Eli and Virigil will conflict or be cool with each other.

2) That another way Eli/Killer Bee/Yellow Jacket will grow more as hero. It both yes and no, Eli training will improve. I mean, the Teen Titans train and gain experience to become better heroes than their Mentors. It would be great if Eli learn from Nightwing to be better at Martial Arts, but also Eli learning from Gear to help improve his own equipment.

3) God! I would love if Eli did go to Neo Gotham, dealing with that Time Travel adventure. I know that your THREE stories are connected and some Dimensional Travel will happen there. I figure Kill Bee/Yellow Jacket going to the Future to stop something from destroying the Universe or screwing up his Time Line would be good! Plus, Eli or you, can give us a idea how much Yellow Jacket/Killer Bee has had on the world and how far his vigilante career went with New Camford and to the rest of the world.

Keep up the good work and thanks for updating!

I read all 19 chapters and I'm loving this story so far. The only criticism I have is maybe have Eli be softer to Wonder Girl since she isn't judging him like Batgirl is. I don't want Eli to be a complete copy of Batman by coming off as a asshole to everybody he meets.
