buzzfeed unsolved hosted by klaus and check hargreeves

in which chelsea and klaus didn’t become famous by fighting crime, but used their superpowers to become youtube celebrities. 

check does all the research, providing proof that every case they take on has a normal, completely natural explanation. klaus shoots her down every time, providing baseless and outlandish stories about the ghosts and demons that really haunt these dangerous spots. 

of course, none of their viewers know that klaus really can speak to the dead. they think it’s just another gimmick for the videos. just like the running joke about their “ghost cameraman” and the trick shots of their levitating camera. 

ben thinks it’s hilarious.

katherine moore is the meerkat

On November 2, 2005, Kat went to visit her sister in Stanford. Jess’s boyfriend was out of town, and she had the apartment to herself. They had a regular girls night - wine, cookie dough, bad rom coms. Until tragedy struck.

Kat wakes up the next morning in her own apartment. She can barely remember the night before. Groggy and disoriented, all she can remember is the heat, the smell of rotten eggs, the taste of iron. It’s mere minutes before her phone rings with the news: Jessica is dead.

At first, Kat disregards the changes as grief. She’s running a constant fever. She has the shakes. Her migraines are endless, and there’s a prickle on the back of her neck that she can’t shake. Her new strength she chalks up to rage. Her reflexes to her training. It isn’t until she sees her own black eyes in the mirror that she has to face the truth. 

Something happened to her the night that Jessica died. She just wishes she could remember what.

Now she’s looking for answers. But there’s a long road ahead of her. In the meantime, what’s a girl to do with super strength and a ton of unresolved anger? Vigilante justice seems like a good place to start.

rebecca whalen in rumpelstiltskin

Once upon a time, in a bustling kingdom, there lived a young maiden with golden hair. She lived in a small room, over a small shop, with her small sister. The sisters were orphans, and so it fell upon the maiden to care for their family. And though she worked many jobs throughout the kingdom, she spoke to few and kept to herself.

On the outskirts of the city lived a goblin, and he had set his eyes on the sisters. In the middle of the night, he whisked them away to his castle. The girls were so scarcely known that no one noticed they were gone.

The goblin trapped the girls in separate towers, and warned the maiden that she must do as he said, or else he would eat her sister. He instructed her to use his magic spinning wheel and make him gold - which he could use to secure more children for his supper. The maiden pleaded with his for her sister’s release, and the goblin agreed on one condition. If she could discover his name, both she and her sister could go free.

But the maiden was trapped alone in the tower. She worked day and night at the wheel, and hardly had time to think about the goblin’s name. Until one day, a wandering prince caught sight of her through her window. He called out to her, entreating her to join him. When the maiden described her torment, the prince did not hesitate to offer his help. If she would keep the goblin at bay, he would use all his resources to discover the goblin’s name and secure their freedom.

rosa alverez in disney’s songbird

When Queen Alvarez gave birth to her daughter, she was visited by a powerful fairy. She granted the queen any one wish as a gift to the princess. The Queen wished only for her daughter to be loved by all. Little did she know, this blessing would turn out to be a curse.

Princess Rosa grew up the pride of the kingdom. She was adored by her subjects, adored by her family, adored by all diplomats and visitors to the castle. On her sixteen birthday, her mother threw her a magnificent ball, full of friends and suitors. Rosa received hundreds of gifts, dozens of proposals. And she had never felt more alone.

The princess locked herself in her tower. She couldn’t bear to be around others, compelled by magic to love her against their will. She pleaded to her fairy godmother for a solution, a way to reverse her spell. The only way for her to break the curse is to find true love. 

But when everyone loves you, how can you judge what’s real?

stephanie engel and owen grady with their daughter blue

Has science gone too far? 

Owen and Steph know that line was crossed long ago. But at the same time, it was always leading to this. InGen had already succeeded in producing completely designed creatures for entertainment. The next step would be designing beings for use - so all those rich board members could avoid the inevitable. Death.

Has science destroyed morality?

InGen would argue that it’s not immoral, because the bodies they’re making are completely fabricated. They’re not testing on real children. And the procedure is still in its early stages. Equations, animal testing, and then something a little bit bigger...

Has science made the right choice?

Unanimously, no. But when Blue becomes a test subject, what are her trainers to do? Abandon her when she needs them most? It’s not how Owen and Steph were planning on becoming parents. But Blue still needs an Alpha.
