The Shadow fanfiction/adaptation. Thanks for reading (happy last-Feb. weekend),

The Shadow had found a bad reckoning against his enemy's grand-daughter who swore to do what his relative had failed to do, to rein-in the heroics wonderfulness of the mysterious/invisible/masked purple-stone magic ring wearing/bearing American vigilante to reseize the underworld of diamonds and pearls that was a vision of the dark cult known as Empire (damn). The Shadow's rival blessed his grand-daughter (Batu-Khan) to destroy the Shadow (Facebook-like).

SHADOW: You high-vanity little lady of foolish anarchy, making blocks for war?

KHAN: I shall honor my grandfather with this interference of your gangs-mission!

SHADOW: You know of my work with Eastern/Russian mafia gangs work for IQ.

KHAN: I'm sure you'd been versed in Russia-Vietnam Communism art in past.

SHADOW: You're right Batu...and I learned of underworld Asian/Euro gangs past.

KHAN: Yes, my grandfather tried to link Russian/Asian underworlds for gems!

SHADOW: So, you want vengeance for grand-pappy with a liar's relation whisper?

KHAN: Selfie-like, Shadow-man (for Heaven/Hell).

Well, Batu-Khan had every intention to make 'interference' for the magnificent Shadow's work with modern infiltrations-heroics in Asian-Russian underworld gangs bent on exploiting capitalism holes/frailties in a time of nation-state politics 'troubles' like the invasion of Ukraine and North Korean nuclear-tests under TrumpUSA-eye (damn). Khan knew her grand-daddy would like this 'brand' of relatives-wrath to erase all the good-work(s) the Shadow did to fight her relative's insanities for darkness and piracy (wow). Of course, Batu-Khan always maintained that Shadow was merely...insane (himself).

POLICE-INSPECTOR: It's a Liar-Universe, the title of my novel about ya, Shadow.

THE SHADOW: Thanx, Inspector (Euro-like).

POLICE-INSPECTOR: Streets-gossip and chat fly that you shot Khan's Gargoyles.

THE SHADOW: I trained myself to become a sharpshooter, Inspector (Selfie-like).

POLICE-INSPECTOR: Talk implies Batu's flown under the lair-wing of grandfather!

THE SHADOW: Selfie-like (for weapons/marks).
