"Feeling pretty good this morning, Shin-chan?" Misato's expression turned sly. "Really? Singing and dancing around the kitchen at this hour? If you don't cool your jets, Asuka's going to wake up and see you, and I bet she'll guess why~..." she teased with a wink.

Jake grabs the cube even as Tom’s hand is still wrapped around it… And for the second time in his life, he feels the jolt of energy travel up his arm. The first time he felt that snap and fizz, it was the morphing power transferring from Elfangor’s body to his own. This time, it’s transferring from him to Tom.
The whole world slows to a halt. Jake and Tom are staring at each other in horror, frozen. Jake realizing what he’s just done. The yeerk realizing… everything. Jake can see Tom’s lips move around the single word. You.

The English language did not have a word that encapsulated the utter horror of realising that all your efforts, all your best laid plans and most cunning manoeuvres have been nothing more than a small part of someone else's grander scheme. Nor did it have a word that described the feeling where you thought you were writing your own song, but found that it was merely a small part of a greater symphony. Nor did it have one that described how you felt when, in fact, your very worst fears had just come true. But if there were such words, he would have used them.

They heard a growl.
It wasn't just your ordinary growl, from a dog or a wolf. This was a deep growl, the sort of growl that suggested monstrous origins, dark and shadowy nights, and the promise of endless hours of pain. It was accompanied by a blast of cold running down their spines. The two turned around, slowly.
Rei was staring at Asuka, intensely, her face twisted in anger. Her fists were clenched, shaking slightly. It was hard to tell in the sunlight, but they thought they saw her blood red eyes glow brightly for a moment.
"Ohshit," whispered Touji. "She's mad."

I can't feel the Empire anymore, just everyone right here. That portal wasn't closed by our people, and since it hasn't reopened already, we have to assume it can't. We're cut off, and I have no clue how long that will last. [...] And in accordance with His Majesty's last instructions from His own lips, you are in command until relieved, Lieutenant.

If Harry had needed to formalise the wordless inference that had just flashed into his mind, it would have come out something like, 'If I estimate the probability of Professor McGonagall doing what I just saw as the result of carefully controlling herself, versus the probability distribution for all the things she would do naturally if I made a bad joke, then this behavior is significant evidence for her hiding something.'
But what Harry actually thought was, Aw crap.

"Nice move, Shinji," he berated himself as he watched the now wingless and tailless plane start to roll. He had to think and he had to do it fast. He couldn't just grab the plane and stop it, it would pull it apart or kill the passengers or worse. He dove through the smoke, skimmed along the side of the plane, and planted himself on the nose. Spreading his arms wide, he carefully, deliberately started to put pressure on it, first from left to right and then pushing ever so gently up, trying to level it out. It struggled against him, the metal rending at his touch. If he pushed too hard, he'd go right through it and make it worse. Finally, inexorably, it began to straighten and stabilize.
Then he noticed that he'd missed the airport.
"Great."

"So much for trust, I guess. We saw your men outside." Nakayima said, speaking what Misato was thinking.
"Yeah, we noticed," Miko sounded upset. She had not said anything since the suggestion that Keiko might be interrogated came up. "They stick out like sore thumbs."
Sato frowned and looked around the table, from her to Nakayima to Misato. "What are you talking about? My soldiers are invisible—- only Section 2 can be that obvious. I came alone."
A sudden chill ran down Misato's spine and she felt as if someone had punched her in the stomach. She exchanged a horrified look with Nakayima. He knew it too. "Ah, shit!"

But then I noticed that the gang leader wasn't looking at me. His gaze was, very, very slowly, turning upwards. That was when we heard a snort behind us. I noticed that I'd been backed into the rock in the middle of the clearing.

"Look, does it really matter how I know?" Toji asked smugly. "The fact is that unless you want everyone to know who Power Girl is, you'll have to do exactly what I say."
"Which is?" she asked through clenched teeth.
Toji withdrew a very minimal white bikini from somewhere and held it up. "Tomorrow after school, you're going to put this on, along with your mask, cape, and that wig you wear. Then you're going to model while Kensuke takes pictures, and the two of us are going to become obscenely rich."
To the jock's surprise, Asuka's response was to grin. "What…?" he stammered.

All she had to do was get her wig out of the tree, get dressed again, and get back to her room by bed check. Actually, she wanted some time before that so that she could get some studying done. She'd already read all of her textbooks all the way through the day she got them, but it looked suspicious if she didn't study.
It was no big trick to keep track of what tree she had thrown the wig into. She headed for it, scanned ahead with her super-vision.
She stopped breathing, almost stopped moving.
The wig wasn't where she'd left it.
"Sheol," she whispered, and hoped Kal hadn't heard her.

"Even so," said Hippolyta, "she has greater than mortal years ahead of her, but less even than her mother, who renounced immortality at a later date than her, and much less than a pure Amazon who has not renounced the Waters of Youth.

They sprang apart. Winston's entrails seemed to have turned into ice. He could see the white all round the irises of Julia's eyes. Her face had turned a milky yellow. The smear of rouge that was still on each cheekbone stood out sharply, almost as though unconnected with the skin beneath.

Not wishing to see even Buster transformed into Hamburger Surprise before our eyes - neither Eddie nor I had a particularly strong stomach - we pointed toward the bull, a four-legged Guernsey locomotive roaring down on the unsuspecting victim. Buster glanced casually in the direction of our pointing, as though expecting a trick. His eyeballs shot out a good six inches and snapped back, somewhat on the order of the paddleball an aunt had given me for Christmas.

The Dark Lord was suddenly aware of [Frodo], and his Eye piercing all shadows looked across the plain to the door that he had made; and the magnitude of his own folly was revealed to him in a blinding flash, and all the devices of his enemies were at last laid bare. Then his wrath blazed in consuming flame, but his fear rose like a vast black smoke to choke him. For he knew his deadly peril and the thread upon which his doom now hung. ... At his summons, wheeling with a rending cry, in a last desperate race there flew, faster than the winds, the Nazgûl, the Ring-wraiths, and with a storm of wings they hurtled southwards to Mount Doom.
A Westerner faced with a suicide bomber goes to pieces. Believe me, I have seen this. Just as I have seen people's reactions to other stressful situations: criminals in the electric chair, a person in water confronted by sharks. Oh, to be sure, I love to observe the look of pure horror that crosses a man's face when he realizes that he is, without doubt, going to die...
And that is the look I'm talking about.
