Side B: Ashina!
A lil post to expand and explain on Kandy's Side B concept of Ashina!
First of all, Penny!
She would be all in to have a secret friend! Maybe she knows about mermaids, too! She would do her best to understand the notes and follow the crumbs around, especially if it helps find out about her missing parents!
But, you see... someone else is searching for them... someone who won't hesitate to throw hands to get the info he needs...
She knows about him. She knows about Numbuh 100. She knows about The Steve. But after some point...
She doesn't know anything about him anymore.
She'll have to be careful... He doesn't want Penny to find them first.

Second, Nigel!
So here's the thing: Nigel's always been a paranoid person who trusts no one if he doesn't have enough proof they are an ally. But an alien? A probable Galactic Operative? Someone who wants him to find secrets about his family?
She might need to work a bit harder to have him follow her clues.
Maybe Penny can serve one more purpose...

Third, Joey!
If Ashina is helping him with his abilities, he'll do anything to follow her teachings and be better! Especially if it's a cute cool alien wolf who knows ASL!!
But one moment... You mentioned his parents and Irwin, but...
Isn't there another person...?
Lou is in charge of everything and anything involving spies and secrets, from outer space, too. So Ashina might need to report to him every now and then...
HOW DOES SHE KNOW ABOUT THAT??? :D
After the hurricane, would the Steve choose to stay a teen forever?
There were three possibilities: Penny decided to grow up to the age she was supposed to be; The New Experience decided to start aging from 10 and grow up year by year.
So, yes, the one who decided to be the same age forever is Steve.
A lot of things happened since the Teen AU to him, but there was a constant: his desire for teens to be more free and independent. Or... so he says.
After the Hurricane events (where he helped guide the teens against Sami), he decided to just quit his fight because Penny begged him to. She wanted to have some sort of relationship with him, especially when she was alone in that house after Nigel moved.
Steve allowed himself to "rest" for some years, but as soon as Penny started dating Joey, he left the place and went back to surviving alone. He would show up at Penny's place from time to time to say hi, but never stick around.
He seems to be more present now that she's pregnant. If he's not around "partying", that is.
Doe Family Portrait.
The Steve is back...?
This takes place before "operation: T.E.N. F.O.R.E.V.E.R.", we're still in the Teen AU.
Since you popped him in my mind after the recent Age Swap AU post, what is Steve up to in the Teen AU? And if he has moved on, who is in charge of the Teens?
Laying low.
Is being a teenager forever a blessing or a curse? Would you wish this fate on anyone… what if Penny was made a kid forever?
" This is like hitting jackpot, dude!
I'm not one of those annoying brats AND I'll never be one of those boring adults.
This is pure bliss! I don't care about what anyone else might think, if I had a choice I'd keep being a teen until I die! That's a good pla- "
" If they touch Poopie I'm gonna kill them. "
"I saw her again when I escaped decommission." Wait, so since you were Soopreme Leader and weren't decommissioned, you know about the TND?
"I know about EVERYTHING, babe~
I know ALL their secrets.
That's why Numbuh 362 tried and go for a Treaty: because I was ready to use all of it against them.
I just needed... the right moment, y'know.
Maybe my parents doing what they did was a saving grace for KND, TND, and Adult Division.
Say hi to Vicky from me if she's still the big scary boss~ "
