Bringing Icarus Back Down to Earth

Megan waved goodbye to her friends, turning her head and taking notice of a certain teenage genius studying at a table on his own. Alaris always seemed to catch her attention and curiosity.

It didn’t help that her father was wary of the boy’s very existence but would never elaborate on it. It just made her inquisitive nature peak. And while her interactions with the new classmate have been brief, she did note that he seems to be getting more comfortable around her.

“I was half-jokingly going to ask you if you needed help on the assignment.” Megan found herself at his table, looking at the stack of completed homework. She chuckled, “But I can see maybe I should be asking you to be my tutor…”

Alaris shyly sputtered back, looking between his work and his classmate, “I-I don’t think I’d make for a good tutor, I’m not that good at… ummm… teaching…” Truthfully, that was due to his feeling of being socially inept rather than his command over the academic material.

“I’d have to wonder about that… I mean, you already did a whole week’s worth of assignments ahead of time. And…” Megan’s eyes widened, seeing the college-level coursework he was currently studying as extracurricular work. “These aren’t even for school, are they?! Well, not high school, at least!”

Alaris was a bit embarrassed at her outburst, looking around just in case others were watching. He shyly laughed, “Oh, these?! Ummm… Well, I’m trying to prove to my mom that I should be at SFIT, already.”

Megan adopted a deadpan expression, a hand along her hip expectantly, “Oh, I see. So, you’re saying you’re too school for high school? Better than us normal kids?”

Alaris quickly waved his hands at her apologetically. “N-No, sorry! That’s not what I meant!”

Megan laughed heartily at his response, waving her own hands at him to calm him down. “Relax! I’m just messing with you! You teen geniuses are too easy, sometimes.” It was too easy to tease Hiro and Karmi, there seemed to be a trend here with these prodigies.

“Huh? Oh, right. Sorry.” Alaris sighed at her in relief.

“Wait. Don’t tell me this is all you have planned for the day! You’ve finished all the required work already. Why don’t you do something fun?” Megan noted his confused expression, pointing out, “You don’t know what to do for fun, do you?”

“Well, I like to… I think I…?” Alaris’ sky blue eye looked up as he placed his hand along his chin, contemplating for a moment. Until he looked down in defeated admittance, “…No, I don’t…”

“Great! Then, I’m guessing you’ve never been to a concert before?!” Megan excitedly leaned forward, causing the boy to blush as he shook his head. “How about I take you to the Redemption Tour today?! High Voltage know how to put on a show!”

“Uhhh.” Alaris briefly thought about it, looking at her and then his textbooks. His mother did say she wanted him to experience life like a normal teenager. He smiled back at her with a nod, “Sure! I’d really like that!“

Megan clapped victoriously, “Then it’s a play date!”

“Whoah! A w-what?!” Alaris’ face flushed almost as red as his distinct hair strands.

“It’s a play. High Voltage is performing their songs in their own play about their lives.” The super sleuth responded matter-of-factly.

The teenage prodigy nodded, sagely, “Oh, okay that makes sense… Wait, that’s not what I was asking about-“

Before he could continue, Megan waved at him while playfully pointing at her phone, “Well, gotta run! See you later then! I’ll text you the details soon! Bye!” Leaving the boy speechless as she walked away gingerly.

Note: More Alaris lore finally! And as you can see, I ship Megan with him! Ship name? #megaris. I think they are an interesting couple-to-be. Megan is the perfect person to give Alaris not only a sense of what it is to be a teenage kid rather than just a young genius, but also to treat him as a person. He arrived to the world under difficult circumstances, as the clone of villain being created by a villainous clone. Megan is the person to show him a better side of life beyond those circumstances. And I hope I can explore their relationship further!

BH6 Ikaros Redux AU “Alaris Granville”

For a sixteen-year-old teenage boy, it isn’t easy having a nearly-insatiable curiosity to learn about the world while trying to fit in it. Particularly, when he feels like he was only born just yesterday.

But the feeling isn’t far from the truth. Alaris awoke within the embrace of his mentor into a world that felt nauseatingly familiar yet foreign. He was almost a clean slate, his “memories” were distorted and empty.

Only faint images remained in his dreams, including those of his mentor, his historical idol, and hands grasping at the sun. Along with nightmares cautioning him of a raven-haired boy…

Drawn together by an unspoken bond, the “amnesiac” boy was adopted by his mentor figure, Professor Grace Granville. She tells him his name is “Alaris.” An unique name meaning “Of the Wing” that she chose as an allusion to “Icarus,” a personal reminder to Grace that she won’t let him fall this time.

Despite his innate intellect and desire to attend SFIT with his adoptive mother, Professor Granville decided he should acclimate to his situation and gain a sense of normalcy as a teenage boy firstly.

Ultimately, opting for him to attend at Lenore Shimamoto High School before he can apply for SFIT. But the professor is also biding time and distancing him from the truth of his predecessor…

However, when a certain police chief catches wind of the boy’s existence, he reluctantly enlists a certain super-sleuth to keep an eye on the mysterious boy. Simultaneously catching the fateful attention of another teenage protege…

Formal Wear Supremacy

To borrow the term from @cobaltrhiona I wanted to draw the boy geniuses in formal wear but in a way that fits their characters. Incidentally, they look like a boy (genius) band lol.

Hiro being the smug troublemaker, he would rather loosen up at any chance he gets if he has to wear formal wear. So his coat will quickly go unbuttoned and tie will be loosened, hanging off of his neck.

Alaris being the shy gentleman, he is more reserved and mindful of his manners (probably more so under Professor Granville’s parenting style.) It does concern her on his choice of formal wear though.

Kiro being the practicing medical professional, he doesn’t mind being prim and proper in formal wear. He’s used to it in professional settings and medical research galas.
