   this situation had easily made it into at least the top five of the weirdest things steve had seen in his life. the multiverse collapsing was one thing in itself, but the idea of children from other dimensions coming through was a whole other. there had been one point in his life where steve had imagined settling down and having a family. after the war was fought and won – after everyone was finally able to come home and start living their lives once more. there had been that dream before.

   now… it felt out of reach. that dream no longer felt like the path he was meant to be taking in live. and the idea that there were children from other universes that were his ( or, rather, a steve’s from another universe ) it was enough to really get one thinking. and perhaps a little bit of stressing.

    so leave it to steve to be surprised when he catches sight of someone in the classroom, realization dawning on him once he sees exactly who it is. he’d read the file. of course he had – he’d been curious about him. who wouldn’t be?? “no need to be worried about a thing there. figured security would be around eventually.” he wasn’t buying it for one second but sometimes it was easier to play along. “you’re nate, right??”

nate’s not really sure what he was expecting, seeking steve out like this. he hoped, foolishly, childishly, that he would see some piece of his father. that somehow, when the multiverse collapsed.. maybe some piece of his father would latch onto the steve in front of him. some kind of familiarity of his home. but that’s not the case. they might share the same face, even the same abilities from what nate’s heard about him - but this isn’t his dad.

christ, what is he doing here?

“well - yeah. need to make sure things stay secure and all that. there’s no telling how quickly it can change, all things considered.” nate points out kind of lamely. his dad would know he’s lying, covering up the real reason he’s here - but this isn’t him. this isn’t him. clearing his throat, nate nods his head. “that’s me. it’s uh -” he chuckles softly, stepping over and holding a hand out despite himself, “nice to meet you. kinda weird, but - nice all the same.”

    it doesn’t take a genius to realize that something is clearly up once nate returned from his shift. he can hear it just in the way that the hunter is dragging his feet along the floor or the way the other just all but slumps down onto the bed. more often than not percy was used to seeing nate a bit more good-natured whenever he returned from work. it was more than a little clear that the other was incredibly exhausted. 

    pausing for a moment in his reading, percy marks his spot in the textbook before he’s setting it off on the side of his bed. “as well as they normally do,” he remarked with a shrug of his shoulders. the classes were certainly full of information that was new to him considering he’d never really given a damn about the human body before. or, really, humans themselves. “but that’s hardly important right now. you look extremely worn out. thought the serum usually helps with things like that.”

it shouldn’t come as such a surprise. they’ve known each other for a while now, spent plenty of time together even before the multiverse collapsed and they landed here. their.. friendship.. isn’t exactly normal, but they care for one another. that much is obvious. even more so with the way percy picks up on just how tired nate is. and while he doesn’t want to worry her, he’s also a little relieved he doesn’t have to keep hiding it. not in here, at least.

“hardly important? it seems pretty important to me. med school doesn’t exactly seem like it’d be easy to get through.” nate points out with a raised eyebrow, but he appreciates the concern all the same. it’s.. nice, to have someone who knows him, who won’t mind him letting his guard down. “it does, but it can only do so much. keeps me going longer than most, but - i can still get overworked.” he explains tiredly, kicking his boots off and bringing his feet up to cross his legs. “someone’s gotta do it, though. at least until we find more people for the security team.”

“I’m naturally the sneaky sort,” Bobbi chuckled as she took in the tired eyes.  Being a science teacher, she didn’t need to be involved with security, but Bobbi made a tendency of wandering the Academy just to keep an eye on things.  Not that she’d intended to gain his attention, but … as he’d said - super-hearing.  “Doesn’t look like you’ve had a quiet day, hmm?”  Her part of the labs had been fairly normal - for a relative level of normal when discussing several geniuses in one location, but the Academy covered a lot of ground.  “At least I hope it was fun?”

“what’s there to be sneaky about in a school?” nate asks with a raised eyebrow and a slight smile. he doesn’t intend to sound like he’s accusing her of anything of course - he knows bobbi’s cleared, knows she’s not a threat to the school. but he also knows if security’s attention is divided for no good reason there’s risk of things that are threats sneaking their way in. or maybe he’s just being paranoid. “ah, well - security in a place like this is never dull, that’s for sure.” he says with a shrug of his shoulders, not wanting to make a big deal about it. if he looks that tired that she notices it, though, he needs to do something about it. “oh yeah, loads of fun. i take it you haven’t had any issues in your labs? all running smoothly?”

it wasn’t as if winnie was a troublemaker – she was far from it, really – but she was somebody who spent whole days and whole nights holed up somewhere in the library. with her nose buried in a book and a cup of tea in her hand, she’d never been more comfortable – even in a far away universe like this one, it was easier for her to spend her time learning than living the new world. She’d run out from the library to grab a snack from the machine, her thick, homey socks gliding across the floor that had caused her to stumble and presumably catch his attention. “i–” she went bright red, immediately guilty. “i’m so sorry! i didn’t mean to– the time, was– i–”

nate hadn’t intended to startle her, really. if anything he’d more just been surprised to catch someone out and about so late. an easy smile settles on his face as he steps out of his office, shaking his head. “it’s okay, really. i should apologise, i didn’t mean to surprise you.” he assures her. truth be told, nate’s been a little on edge lately. buried in work and patrols and just.. just the nagging fear that maybe his universe followed him and percy here when everything collapsed. and apparently being overworked leads to a little - overreaction. “are you alright? i usually don’t see people hanging around so late.”

Bruce leaned back on the office chair, brown eyes inspecting the documents spread out on the table carefully, making sure everything was in order before finally declaring work was done for the night. A sigh escaped his nostrils. He wished he could say the workload was unexpected, maybe even complain about not being aware of what he signed up for. But the truth was the detective knew exactly what awaited him once he took the job, and the amount was partially his fault considering he purposely wanted to overview as much as possible. Maybe his controlling tendencies were starting to be an issue…

He sighed again, deciding not to ponder on it. Bruce gathered the documents and neatly placed them in his bag, exiting the administrative board room. He made his way down to the main entrance, the doors leading to the lobby opening before he could reach them. “Force of habit,” Bruce replied, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly. “How’s the night been treating you, Mister Rogers?”

it’s not the same bruce wayne. it’s absolutely not. it’s not the same blood-sucking vampiric threat he and his family have had to deal with for years. this isn’t their world. logically, nathaniel knows this. he knows there’s no threat. here, bruce wayne is a good man. an icon of change, and a member of the board. a founder of this school. he’s not a danger. not to nate, or to the school. but the sight of him still brings the same kneejerk reaction that has his hand resting on the concealed whip under his jacket without thinking of it.

“might be a habit you should break. kids might get freaked out by it if you sneak up on them.” nate points out, letting out a breath and trying to relax. wayne isn’t going to attack him here. “fine, fine. nothing to report. if you don’t mind my asking, what’re you doing here so late?”

   “ who needs to sneak ?? ”  wally asks, blase as anything.  “ i grew up around superhumans and super-detectives and a nosy-ass dad.  i gave up on sneaky a while ago. ”  he looks around the room before his eyes light on a thin stack of papers, coffee-stained and a little creased in places.  “ i let my little girl hold onto the papers, and then was surprised when they didn’t end up back in the shop. ”  he picks up the forms and double checks that none of them have been presumably-scattered through the academy.  “ if i didn’t want you to see me, you wouldn’t have !!  but that felt rude.  you alright ??  looking a little woozy. ”

“no one, but here we are.” nate points out with a small smile. he’s seen this guy around, done his homework - anyone who’s working on campus has come across his desk at some point. west checks out, as far as he can tell. “what - that’s where they came from. one of the guys must’ve let her play around in here.” he chuckles as his eyes land on the papers. at least that’s one mystery solved, one less thing to worry about. “well then, thanks for the courtesy. what - me?” nate shrugs his shoulders, stepping over to settle down at his desk. “yeah yeah, i’m good. long shift.” waving off the question, nate takes a sip of his - basically cold - coffee as a distraction. “you need anything else?”

closed starter for @oficeness !

it takes a lot to wear nate out like this. supersoldier serum works wonders like that, most of the time. he can scrape by with less sleep than your average guy as a result. but the security team sure as hell doesn’t have enough people and - alright, maybe nate’s not quite used to a world where they’re not constantly at risk of being overrun by night creatures, or where he doesn’t need to do regular patrols, or where he’s not battling monsters as his day - or night - job. just because it’s been a few weeks.. doesn’t mean it’s not still taking some adjusting.

so by the time he wanders into the dorm he and percy share, practically dragging his feet, he’s ready for a long nap. “how were fancy doctor classes today?” he calls out to the dhampir with a weary and a nod, slumping down on the end of his bed so he can work up to taking his boots off. he doesn’t think for a moment that it might be obvious he’s worn out already, or that percy’s really going to notice, or even worry. he’s not that bad, after all.

it’s not that the classes seem overly difficult. not the art classes at least. nate’s peeked in on them once or twice. out of curiosity, of course. he could.. probably manage it, but it would do his head in. seeing his dad day after day - well, his dad, but not his dad. not really. which is hard enough to try and wrap his head around as it is, truth be told. he really doesn’t need to add to that.

and yet here he is, looking around the art classroom, curious as to what this universe’s version of his father would actually be teaching for art. to see... to see just how alike they could actually be. hoping maybe they might be.

terrified that they won’t be.

he doesn’t expect to come across the man himself, so when steve walks in it takes him by surprise. “oh - shit, i’m sorry.” he says immediately, taking a half-step towards the door in reflex. “i was just - uh. taking a look around. checking on security and whatnot.” he taps the security badge on his uniform. super subtle. but he wasn’t expecting this - he wasn’t prepared for this. and he’s not sure he’s ready to face the man - or the possibility that his dad really is lost.

[supcrhunter]

“what a day..” nate mutters to himself under his breath. most of the tie he does his best not to complain when it comes to his rounds on security, but somehow today was just a disaster. even supersoldiers need a break, and double-shifts are not the way to do that. he’s just about to slump into his chair and contemplate whether or not he can get away with leaving his writeup for later when he sees movement at the door, immediately stepping over to pull it open instead and absolutely not stumbling in the process, no sir. “y’know, sneaking around super-hearing doesn’t work so well.”

( alex landi, 24, HE/HIM ) Look, it’s NATHANIEL “NATE” ROGERS-WILSON from EARTH-1476! Aren’t they the child of  STEVE ROGERS (BIOLOGICAL) AND SAM WILSON? I hear they’re currently A SECURITY GUARD ON CAMPUS. I noticed they’re COMPASSIONATE AND INSPIRING, but also kinda IMPULSIVE AND . Their file says they have SUPERSOLDIER ENHANCEMENTS AND ARE SKILLED IN HAND TO HAND COMBAT AND WEAPONS HANDLING. I can’t wait to see what they do next!

BACKGROUND:

biography:

full bio with more general universe info here

in nate’s universe, there’s no superheroes and supervillains. they all exist, of course - but it’s a world were dracula reigns from the shadows. the rogers, the starks, the romanoffs - name your favourite superhero family, and in nate’s world? they’re hunters. protecting the human race from dracula, from all vampires and demons and hoards of horrors you can imagine.

but the hunters did their job, they kept people safe, and the world kept turning. major events still happened. world wars still hit, but they weren’t the same. creatures of the night had more freedom to get involved, to try and influence the wars to tip a certain way.

nate was born to one of the most well-known hunters, steve rogers. in steve’s time, they were on the brink. WWII was pushing the world to the edge, and they needed saviours. not just to fight the demons and the vampires and the creatures normal soldiers couldn’t, but to ensure victory. and so, the first successful supersoldier was born. and curiously enough, in this war, dracula wanted the allied forces to win. and so, a truce was made. for a time.

steve still defeated hydra and froze in ice, the world’s best hunter, best chance at ending the hoards of the night once and for all lost. he still woke up decades later, to find the same battle with the same hoards of the night continued. his work wasn’t done. and this time, dracula - once a tenuous ally - was on the other side.

in nate’s world, steve and sam fell in love - sam was a fellow hunter, a man steve admired, grew close to. they wanted a family together, but steve wanted to rebuild the rogers line as well, in hopes that they can finish what his family started so long ago. so nate is biologically steve’s, but he’s never viewed anyone but steve and sam as his parents.

nate grew in his fathers’ footsteps, following both steve and sam as closely as he could. he knew how important it was, to protect the human race, to take on the mantle of a hunter from them. and he’s worked hard to be second only to steve - to become one of the best hunters the world has seen.

powers and abilities:

nate has all of the advantages of a supersoldier that you can imagine - superhuman strength, speed, durability, enhanced healing and senses. in battle, there’s no one else you would want by your side - his in-battle analysis and tactics are second to none but steve, and not even the most horrifying threats would make him flinch. he also has an very high tolerance for pain and incredible stamina and willpower.

headcanons:

OKAY SO nate is battle-smart, he’s tactically a genius in battle and he can win almost any fight you put him into. he’s been training for this life since he was a child. he’s a master of moo gi gong - the ability to utilise any object as a weapon in battle (think roy’s abilities), though he specialises in certain things. out of battle? he’s a bit of a clumsy idiot with a huge heart. he will trip over the simplest things, he will struggle with simple problem solving, and he’s certainly not a genius by any stretch of the imagination but he tries

he’s lived a hard life, growing up watching horrors of a world that can barely contain the monsters nate faces. even and sam are a little rougher in their world than he is here. at the same time though, they were both still loving and warm parents who wanted the best for nate, and nate grew up with a lot of love in his life so he has a big heart and a lot of capacity for second chances. he also has a lot of hope that things can be better, even after the nightmares he’s seen.

nate is not fantastic with words, but actions are totally his thing. small gestures to try and make people feel better, observing actions and reactions to get a feel for how he can help and what he can do to make people feel a little more at ease, nate’s good at that.
