Honestly, if I was Marie and Brink was all "I'm expelling you so TMZ doesn't find out about Luke, Andre, and Jordan" I legit would have been like "Well if you expel me TMZ will be my first stop and they will hear my side, and which story do you think they'd prefer 'Random Orphan Girl Saves Woman She Injured' or 'God U Top 3 Nearly Murder Woman, Saved by Student God U Decided to Expel'?"

Think he would have been forced to change his mind really quick because TMZ definitely would have been much more excited about the second headline

Also, if she had taken a minute to express that she didn't like Brink and that if Luke helped her to stay at God U in exchange for not ratting him out for Brink's death then he might have lived and she would have stayed

Now fair both of these would have drastically changed the show, but I don't think it would have been for the worse

the 'just watch me drive' bit gets me every time and I can't stop giggling but then it made my mind remember that movie I saw 'babydriver' and now I'm just thinking of au jordan in those scenes as a getaway driver for their wild group of friends who are all linked in some way to criminal activity with each using their powers and skillsets to get the group as a whole rich beyond belief and now I have a mighty need for this au and the chaotic adventures.

FUCKING SAME DUDE I CANT KEEP FROM GIGGLING EVERY TIME

omg that's iconic

esp bc i defo think jordan loves to drive. also i love babydriver its amazing. brain go brrrrrrrrrrr sorry not sorry

fjsdklfajk just add tthis to my list of aus

Jordan didn't outwardly complain when Brink brought new people into the fold, but they were never pleased about it either. The more people in the know, the more possible problems down the line.

At this point in the game, the others picked up on their wariness about newcomers and would not stop teasing them about it. Andre had actually created a bingo sheet of 'Jordan fucks with the newbie'. When Emma was brought on, they got a bingo in under three hours.

So when Brink told the team that he found a new recruit, Jordan ensured they kept their eyes forward, ignoring the reactions of their friends behind them.

"Alright, alright. Look - her power is weird but it's especially critical to this upcoming mission so please, don't scare her away."

Jordan forced themself not to roll their eyes - they never scared anyone away. People just couldn't handle them. There's a difference. But then Brink gave Sam a very pointed look, and they had to stifle a smile. They had forgotten about that... incident.

The metal door creaked open and in walked probably one of the most gorgeous people Jordan had ever seen. Big brown eyes, full lips, gorgeous deep skin, and long locs pulled back into a ponytail.

"Everyone, this is Marie."

Fuck. Jordan was fucked.

Marie was skeptical when Victoria told her about this new job. Multiple missions, little-to-no information about the group or the jobs. Just - do what these people tell you for the next few weeks, months, or even years, and then her and her sister would be set for life. To be fair, that is the deal that Victoria gave her initially when she caught her stealing on the job, but still. At least she had known Victoria for a few months beforehand. She's never met any of these people, and now she has to play nice? She just had to stay focused on Annabeth. If she could find them a good, stable place to stay...

So she went, pocketknife in tow, trench coat on, prepared for pretty much anyone when she walked into the cold conference room. Sitting around a large table were six people about her age, and the only other person in the room was a much older man with white hair and a beard. Marie presumed he was the head of whatever kind of ragtag criminal organization this was. This was confirmed when he introduced her.

"Everyone, this is Marie." She gave a small wave and the others introduced themselves. Andre, a black man with short hair and a relaxed posture, Luke, a tan blond man who looked like he had walked out of a Gap catalog, Cate, a thin and pale preppy blonde girl with piercing blue eyes, Emma, a bubbly white girl with short blonde hair, Sam, a pale muscular man with curly brown hair and puppy dog eyes, and Jordan, a small Asian girl with headphones in who seemed to have a permanent frown on her admittedly very pretty face. The leader went by "Brink", and she was sure there were a plethora of shitty puns she could come up with if he wasn't her boss. She took a seat in between Jordan and Sam, knowing Brink would likely want to begin quickly.

Taking in the group, it was clear whatever they were doing paid well. She wasn't well-versed in designer brands but the few she did recognize were scattered throughout the group.

The mission seemed simple enough, once Brink explained the details, but it was clear he was holding things back. Mainly because he hadn't mentioned the newbie's powers or why they needed her. I mean she was unassuming, but weren't they all? Jordan was halfway tempted to corner Brink and demand answers, but they knew they wouldn't get any information out of him he didn't want to give.

Why would Brink be teaching Intro classes at God U? Like at minimum you'd think it'd instead be several TA if not just less famous teachers who do the intro classes, you know... like in real life?

How are they supposed to be sure if someone is or isn't supposed to be in the Crime Fighting Major if they don't let everyone who wants to try have the chance with the option also present for them to drop out and do the Performing Arts Major instead (maybe even at the "suggestion" of the teacher/TA of the intro classes)

But like Brink should have only actually been teaching the high level courses for the Crime Fighting Course and thus would have had little to do with Marie getting into the course or not AND then there wouldn't be this "We have limited space and reject people thing" especially since it doesn't actually make sense for Marie to have this happen to her

Like realistically, within the context of the show, those who played a hand in Marie being accepted to God U would have been aware of her power even if they didn't have all the details of her background and anyone with even an ounce of intelligence in this world seems to be of the opinion that "blood powers don't play with the masses" in certain parts of the US, which immediately means that it doesn't make sense to have her doing Performing Arts because then she wouldn't even really be able to show the good of her powers, so why would she get cast in things and such? No, when she was accepted they had to know that Crime Fighting was the only course for her and yet the school still allowed Brink to reject her from the Crime Fighting Major

Like, in-universe that isn't logical, so like obviously she was going to get in eventually, but like at minimum, they should have had Brink not know about her past/powers (and thus Jordan too) because it just seems idiotic otherwise

But yeah, what kind of superhero school only seems to have 1 teacher for all the superhero (crime fighting) classes?
