This has probably been done before but Janka! Role swap AU where:
Cleaner!Jabber who is not ACTUALLY a replacement Zanka. He's not on Team Akuta—hes on Team Eager. You know how Delmon's wife was black and so passionate about flowers? He took one look at the loud kid with the dreadlocks and the bright eyes and the love for (poisonous) plants and went yeah. That's my son now.
Eager would work amazingly as a team with Jabber because you have Tamsy for support, Delmon for long range attacks and Jabber for close range.
Also Delmon can fight Jabber the whole day and their powers are similar enough that they can absolutely piss the other off. One hit kinda thing, you know? Mankira pierces you, you are done, Thirst Quencher hits you, you are done. Except Delmon is so big he fucks up with Jabber dosses and can also hose himself down to purge the poison off, and Jabber is so fast Delmon has to work to catch him and Jabber absolutely loves getting hosed to burst. This is the most alive Delmon has felt in years. This is the first time someone has ever loved Jabber's craziness so much. They are the happiest they have ever been. They are loud as fuck. Tamsy is in Hell.
