Zombie AU for welcome home: where Wally gets to the ‘outside’ and wants to gain some control for him and his friends... only he’s a dumbass and accidentally creates a zombie apocalypse with his powers of puppet... now there are puppet infected humans running around ‘tangeling’ or infecting, other humans.
infected are more drawn to humans, but will be attracted by any noise and movement they may detect. they move puppet like and have no autonomy any longer. strings infect the host by imbedding into flesh and slowly reaching to the brain. infection can be prevented by removing the strings quickly, but is very difficult due to how fast it spreads, amputation is fastest and most effective to stop the spread, but once infected in the vitals, a living creature is turned into a puppet for the strings that will seek more hosts.
puppets of home that are tangled are able to be tied down and have the strings extracted at any stage, but it’s a painful and difficult process depending on how far along the infection is. strings can exist outside of a host but will go dormant till an infected consumes it or it is inserted in a host, they must be burned to fully eliminate them. cut small enough though, the strings are unable to move effectively and will become dormant as well.
Now Wally and his friends are outside and have to fix this mess if they want to live here. He just wanted to experience the world like we do... Not his fault people don’t take well to walking talking puppets with no puppeteer
