I may have spent the past two hours working on this. Expect more Super Saiyan Blue edits in the future.

tell me everything omg. Superhero AUs are my thing dude

[Cracks knuckles. Everything, huh?]

Okay so it starts off with Ray just doing his thing (this was formerly just him achievement grinding at his desk... but, well). He’s stolen an X-Box and starts boosting someone’s gamerscore because why not (it’s totally my headcanon that he still comes to work and just sits and listens to them work a lot because he needs to have those five voices around or it gets too quiet and he can’t settle) and Gavin decides to chuck something at the side of his head, and Ray’s reaction time is somehow fast enough to register it and catch it. Even in games, his reactions are getting faster, and his foot keeps rapidly tapping and they’re worried he’s drinking too much energy drink or something until he suddenly needs to pee, and zips out- literally zips out, faster than should be humanly possible.

Ray’s the first to get his powers- super speed.

Next is Michael. He slowly starts running a few degrees warmer than a person should, but he’s fine, not remotely sick. Then during rage quits, he starts finding fingerprints embedded int his controller, almost like the plastic was made warm, and malleable. It gets worse- even during colder months, he doesn’t feel cold, and fire jumps when he gets emotional- to the point that one day he accidentally sets a piece of paper on fire while yelling at his computer- in front of Ray. They end up sitting down, having a talk. Find some solidarity in the strange events going on.

Michael’s second- he’s got pyrokinesis.

At this point, the mutation in DNA is all over the news (it was starting to get noticed at the start of this, forgot to mention that), and the two are getting antsy. But then Gavin starts getting bouncy more and more. Especially when he gets excited, bouncing on his heels, darting all over the place. Michael and Ray get suspicious, wonder if maybe they have the gene, if maybe... maybe Gavin does too. Before they know it, they’re trying to spy on him, because let’s face it, if any of them get caught able to do this, questions will be asked, and things regarding the mutation are tense. They catch Gavin one day, so excited, that he blips out of assistance for a beat before appearing on the other side of the room.

Gavin’s next- teleportation.

Team Lads has banded together, practicing their abilities a little in secret. They’re not making huge amounts of progress, but they’re working on not unintentionally using their powers in public. There’s a tense discussion in the office about the mutation, the Gents are a little blasé about the whole thing, and the Lads take it personally, There’s a large fight, and they end up being grumpy for a while. During which Ryan is left alone, fiddling with his PC, because the fan’s been buggy and he wants to fix it- when electricity arches from the tower to his fingers- but doesn’t hurt him, just lingers in his fingers. He tries again- and this time, he feels the electricity through the machine, can feel where there’s a short- and Ray sees the spark. It doesn’t take too long before Ryan’s joined the Lads in their practices.

Ryan- Electrokinsis.

Jack and Geoff can tell something’s going on- although things are still tense from the fight, but they know. What it is still isn’t known, though. Jack’s left stressed from trying to hold things together enough to keep recordings civil and entertaining- trying to mend things, trying to do a thousand things at once. As he’s trying to take phone call, and answer emails, and answer Gavin’s incessant questions, he doesn’t even notices as his hair starts to change shade to a bubblegum pink before Gavin’s eyes. He ends up sitting Jack down, helping him distress, and offers him support- welcomes him into their little team.

Jack joins- a shape shifter.

It takes a few weekends- they practice between Ryan and Jack’s houses, in their backyards, and they’re getting better, slowly but surely. It’s about now they start bringing up the idea of using their powers to help people. The Gents are far more hesitant then the Lads- they know it’d be risky. This isn’t a cartoon, this involves actual people, plus the whole tension from the growing debates over the gene that gives them their powers. But the Lads are determined to at least be ready in an emergency. Practices become a weekly thing- until Geoff shows up one day, and tells them he got suspicious, followed them. And knows everything. But he admits he’s been wrong, and agrees to help them train- using a little of his former Army training techniques and a few other tricks. With the extra help, they get better, faster. Start honing their abilities to be more offensive and defensive.

The training and abilities bring them closer together- but Geoff is left feeling like the odd man out. An average man among his boys, so unique and talented. But he deals with it- for them. Doesn’t want them to worry. They all go out one day, just to relax- only to get caught up in another person with powers terrorizing downtown. Very classic super villain. They’re caught off guard- but Geoff had enough foresight to get them at least some things to hide their identities, knows he can’t stop them from trying to help. Just promises he’ll get as many civilians out as he can.

They take him on, and it’s like an action movie. They’re holding their own, for sure, but it’s not quite enough, and they’re getting worn down. Geoff’s watching from the sidelines, as one by one, they go down, and his heart is sinking- he can’t loose them. Not like this. As the baddie gloats, he rushes out, determined to protect them. He get’s cast aside, laughed at. What can a mere human do. But Geoff picks himself up. His eyes an unearthly blue. The glow travels down his arms, through his tattoo, and as he raises his hands, the rubble around him rises, so does he- and with a sharp movement, it flung at the baddie. Cars, boulders, even the baddie himself, at Geoff’s mercy. And he beats the baddie’s ass for hurting his boys, to the point where they have to call for him to stop. He does, but the exertion of using his dormant powers makes him pass out. He wakes up in a hospital with the others all grinning at him, and he can’t help but laugh after.

Geoff joins last- a telekinetic.

They’re a rag tag team, and they don’t get invlved often. But their powers make work more interesting, for sure.

And then they find out the B-Team have their own powers, are far better at hiding them than the main 6 were... and chaos and fun ensues.

Was that enough? Because you just read what’s the rough skeleton of my upcoming fic in this AU. And I have more headcanons about finer details.

A little extraordinary || CLOSED (fivenightking)

It’s pretty safe to say that having superpowers should be one of the coolest things in the world. Unfortunately, it’s not that simple. Most people aren’t up to being professional heroes; it’s a big commitment to make. So usually, they end up living pretty average lives, working a job, go out with friends. You know. Everyday things. The only bonus is you also get really cool powers to help keep things interesting.

Kdin kind of needs the extra help. He loves his job, he really does, but having the ability to kind of be in two places at once is a blessing. There’s always something to do, and it just means there’s more hands around to do things. Even if they do vanish quickly and he has to be close for them to do much. But hey, you can take what you can get. Kdin likes his shadow clones. They’ve come in handy more than enough times.

He just didn’t expect to be running into anyone else like him until he started working around AH.

It’d been at PAX he’d run into the one and only Markiplier. He’s been a fan for a long time, but it’s safe to say, meeting Mark in person is another experience entirely. It’s in one of the guest relaxing areas he finally gets a chance to say something.

“Hey- mind if I join you? I promise I don’t bite”.

Jack isn’t a self conscious guy, really. Not most of time, at least. He’s not perfect, he knows that, but really, who is? It’s just how people are. But that doesn’t change the fact he has bad days, everyone does. The main difference is, he can do something about it.

See, Jack has a gift. One he doesn’t like to use, but a gift, all the same. To alter his body, his appearance at will. He’s a shapeshifter, an ability that grew in during his mid-twenties and he’s learnt to wield since. But he keeps the appearance he was born with, because well... he knows there’s not another him out there, and would rather look like he was meant to.

But today... the temptation is stronger than ever. And that’s been saying something, because he’s been tempted for a while. Why? Two reasons. One, the comments about him have been getting increasingly worse; about his weight, his red hair, his glasses, a number of things. But the other reason...

Is that he’s in love. Well, love might be too strong. A crush, at least. And it just. Hurts, that he’s never looked at twice. He knows that he’s not the most handsome among AH, comments like that going to Ryan, Michael... anyone but him, really. He notices how they look at everyone else, people so different from him, and Jack wishes that he’d only get looked at like that.

So... he starts to change things. Slowly, so they’re indistinguishable. Slowly shaves off the pudge, starts to darken his hair shade by shade to a more neutral brown. Tweaks his eyes, both sight in colour. And every time, he can honestly say, he starts to look. Better. More attractive. Yeah.

Jack is sick of being Jack, lost in the background, turned away and ignored. So he’s becoming someone else.
