Again, I think I'm missing stuff that would make this even better if I knew anything about the Highlander universe. Oh well. The Batman's the most important - as well as the eponymous - character of this story, right?

The Batman hit Ryan with some sort of 'beserker' drug, yeah? Good way to have the protagonist win against such overwhelming odds, which is always a good read. Much better way than, say, inventing a new rule of wand lore^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H quickening out of the air that no-one has ever seen before. :-)

I only watched a few episodes of the several television Highlighander series but it seemed to me that the immortals never really profited by each quickening ... after 45 minutes they'd lop off a head, lots of fireworks ... and then next episode they'd be exactly the same. In this chapter you've got Ryan inheriting 'more than a hundred centuries of power' ... I do hope you show us the repercussions. Does Ryan inherit 'power'? But it's not *physical* power - strength, etc - is it? How about skills and memories? That's more the feel I had when he was facing his adversary here.

Will Ryan be able to beat the Batman in a fight now? Too optimistic? Hold his own for thirty seconds? :-)

I wonder if - should he have any prestige in the immortal community - he can impose his well on his peers/subordinates? "No more killing for a thousand years".

Thanks for the new chapter!

This is a well written scene that is reminiscent of the Highlander series as well as the first movie. I enjoyed it greatly and I look forward to reading the next chapter.

Whoa, that's a powerful ending sequence. I'm looking forward to seeing how that power affects him and how he uses it.

Good idea to kill Cassandra while she was trying to control things. Her emotions surely wouldn't help. Ryan's are in barely better shape, but at least it isn't blind hatred.

Damn, you got his parents in it and everything.

Good story on the origin of Immortals.

> Actually taking the offensive was not even in the alphabet.
*laugh* I don't remember making Ryan this snarky, but I rather like the attitude.

> "Got any more advice?" he hissed.
> "Attack faster.
*snicker*

Liked the fight scene. Told us enough that we could "follow" the scene, but not so much to get bogged down. Ryan had a free shot at the unexpected "face to face" moment, but understandably wasn't prepared to take advantage of it.

Damn, that manipulative bastard. Hit Ryan with a dart of adrenaline or some sort of stimulant right when he's in/under the Master's guard.

That flashback moment running concurrent with the timeless moment before the Quickening . . . It was mostly well done. Part of it "greatest of our kind" shook the situation. The flashback notes were from the past, right? But how is "perhaps the greatest of our kind who ever lived" from something Duncan told him years ago . . . discontinuity tripped me up. Not trying to be down on you with that, just pointing out something that I noticed.

Looking forward to the aftermath. Assuming one of the Master's lieutenants doesn't kill Ryan while he's down, anyway.

An interesting set of events...

I presume Batman was responsible, somehow, for Ryan's miraculous victory over the Master?

What an excellent story. I truly enjoyed the cross-over with The Batman and the Highlander...who'd of thought it? Obviously someone with a great imagination and the skill to capture it on paper with the words just flowing. Thank you!
