Alrighty then! First thing first. Everyone has probably forgotten by now, but there was technically still an open poll for this story :-p. Specifically the first in a set of shipping polls, that was meant to get an idea of how many girls people wanted to end up with Alyssa. I've closed that poll now, and it did a good job of giving me the feedback needed. Very few (12%) wanted a single pairing, with nearly as few (15%) wanting a large harem. Almost all the votes landed for either threesome or moresome, so the range is Alyssa+(2-4). Currently, I've decided to land in the middle on that, with the plan being for it to be Alyssa + 3. If enough people click with her and are desired by future polls, I may expand that to 4.
Exactly who will be in the pairing will be the subject of another set of polls, the first of which will go up either late tomorrow or early Thursday. Something I'll be restating in that poll is for everyone to please remember how big this Amalgam reality is in the way of options. Right now, Overwatch is operating purely in Gotham. For all intents and purposes, though, we're barely out of the prologue. Squashing so many fandoms together means there are a lot of options for Alyssa to end up with, not just the girls on her current team or even within Gotham.
The majority of characters (not all, but the majority) of characters from DC, Marvel, Worm, MHA, and a few extra from places like the Overwatch games are all crammed into this reality. So filling up all three of those relationship slots right at the onset might end up making you pout later when they start operating on the larger world stage. Just something to keep in mind!
Anyway, enough about that. The actual update this time is hefty, coming in close to 12,000 words, as there just wasn't a great place to leave off between sub 9,000 and that point :-p. So enjoy a slightly outsized update! One which starts dealing with the consequences of a new Hero Group proving they are the real deal, as well as some stage setting for the first true shipping poll...
As usual, the new stuff is attached here. A quick reminder, I'm only updating master files once both updates of a story are out in a month, as it would make an even more confused hash of all my Master File documents if I had to create multiples of each one, for four separate stories a month -_-. Author's notes will follow in the comments. For now, enjoy the first update of What Was There No Truck?! since May!
