Fandom: My Secret Identity Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Andrew Clements & Kirk Stevens Characters: Andrew Clements, Kirk Stevens, Cassie (My Secret Identity) Additional Tags: Secret Identity, Reveal, Secret Keepers, Crushes, Superpowers, Best Friends, Trapped In A Closet, Yuletide Treat

Summary:

Andrew, Kirk and Cassie are trapped in a closet, and Kirk only has one question: why won't Andrew use his powers?

=====

Written for LadySilver/@argentum-ls for her prompt: “Kirk needs to help Andrew conceal his powers (+Cassie or Erin). Andrew doesn't know that Kirk knows about his powers” plus some liked tropes: Trapped, Secret Identity, Running Out of Time!, and Unexpected Allies.

When I saw that LS didn’t have any treats yet, I just had to fix that! And I knew how much she likes it when I write My Secret Identity, so it was an easy decision!

MSI - One of Dr. J's experiments causes Andrew's powers to *sometimes* jump into Kirk. They find this out in the worst possible way.

(I got prompted over IM, here we go!)

————

“Oh my god, what—!”

Andrew looks down to see Kirk’s feet several inches from the floor — and rising. He tries to grab for his hand, and almost misses. The look of panic in Kirk’s eyes is unmistakable. He scrabbles at the glass separating him from the lunch ladies, who are thankfully too focused on their mystery meat to notice.

Andrew manages to catch him, and pull him down with brute super-strength. “Hey, buddy, I’ve heard of ‘high on life’ but this is ridiculous!”

Kirk’s eyes are popped so far out that he looks more than just high on life. Then he shakes his head to clear it and fiercely whispers, “I was floating!”

“I know.” He thinks furiously — what could have caused this? Was it the thought transfer helmets that Dr. J tried on them? They didn’t work… or did they? “I think it was the helmets.”

“Wha—What?” He backs up a step, out of Andrew’s reach. And immediately starts floating again.

Andrew tries to float up to him before anyone sees, to pull him down, and… nothing. He reaches up to pull Kirk down again. That power still works, obviously. “Hang onto me, okay? I’ll get us out of here and back to the lab.”

“Hang onto you?” Kirk gives him a disbelieving stare.

“You wanna keep company with the spitballs and straws on the ceiling, be my guest!”

One of the lunch ladies asks, like it’s not the first time, “You boys want the Cheesy Casserole or not?”

“Uh no, no, we’re suddenly not hungry.” Andrew gives Kirk a look and Kirk gives him back a nod of acquiescence. “Let’s go, buddy,” Andrew announces, “We’ll get something for that sprain.” He claps an arm around Kirk’s shoulders, and they slowly make their way out.

The lunch lady shrugs and scrapes the casserole back into the pan. “Hearing that a lot today.”

Fic Commentary below the Read More:

argentum-ls is, like, my fandom BFF, so I tailored my offers to get her, and I was so happy when it worked. (See: "Yes!" complete with leaping fist-pump.)

She was responsible for getting me to torrent and watch the show, because it was one of her major nostalgia favorites. It's so adorable, too. If you like secret identity and superpowers and 80s-tastic Canadian style, this is your show. It's impossible to find outside of torrents, but I could totally hook you up.

The worst part was trying to keep it secret. She was the only person who requested My Secret Identity, so it would be obvious it was hers! She kept hinting that I should write her a treat, too. I finished it in early November, and hid it by mis-tagging and not gifting it to anyone. I knew I'd cave if she had 6 weeks to accuse me. I told her I matched on a Brooklyn Nine-Nine fic (which I'd already picked out from the DYW post - see an upcoming post on that one) and bided my time. When I had the B99 fic done, I hid it elsewhere. When it got close to deadline, I finally tagged it correctly.

...but there was my downfall. As soon as she saw "Identity Porn" in the tags, she guessed it was me. I managed to put her off (not well), but as soon as she read it, the jig was up. It was filled with so many references, in-jokes, things we'd talked about with the show, a stealth The Listener crossover (which she also got me into). This time when she asked, I caved almost immediately.

But it was awesome, because she fangirled at me for a couple days, and it was so much fun to dissect the whys and whats of the fic. I felt like the creator of a show who has really avid fans (before the fans get nit-picky and critical, though, heh).

If you're thinking of trying this fic, despite having no canon knowledge, here's an overview:

best friends - one has been keeping his powers secret for two years.

the non-powered one is a bit of a charming scamp, which is part of the reason powered friend has not said anything.

NP friend and P friend go through a reveal, a powers demonstration, a conversation about powers, a bit of conflict and then work together to save someone as part of the resolution.

family 80s show in tone and language

Thanks, LS, for being so awesome. ♥

you're wrong, by the way. it does get better than this.

I really wish I hadn't lost my sanity a long time ago so that I could say that this might be the semester where I really lose my mind. The good thing is, I'm actually looking forward to it. As long as I stay on the ball, not fuck around like I always do, I can do it. I can do it. I can do it.

Sorry, that seems to keep happening every time I say that.

I took the break to watch the first season and a half of Community, and I have to say, I'm hooked. I've never seen an ensemble comedy series where I've liked every single character to ever appear on it. In fact, I think the only episode I didn't like was the episode with Jack Black at the return from the mid-season break last year (Though even that one had those moments where I was holding my sides with laughter.). I enjoy everything about this show; the pop-culture gags, the character interactions, the plots, the continuity (last nights episode revolved around a plot line brought up as a tag gag earlier in the season. A throwaway gag is an important plot point.) This show is absolutely amazing. Every member of the main seven cast members have interaction and a relationship with each other, and that's absolutely awesome, because most shows just can't handle that many relationships (Which is also mentioned in-show). It's the strongest part of NBC's comedy lineup, (with 30 Rock being a close second.)

Did you know I'm in a show right now? Cause I am.
