Walking computer. Chapter one: Shocking discovery

It’s finally done! A huge thanks to @justpidgance @thenerdbeast and @tory-b for helping me finish this after a good month and a half of writers block

Lightning struck the ground miles away from the Holt family home and soon after a boom of thunder sounded, Katie Holt, the youngest of the Holt household was unfazed as she typed away on the keyboard of her desktop computer. Opening her skype after a quick youtube song search she noticed that one of her friends had messaged her, opening up the chat she quickly scanned over the simple message

HunkaHunka: Hey KatieKat: Hey, enjoying the storm? :3c HunkaHunka: Eh, I don’t really mind it, but anyway how is your history report coming? I just finished mine. KatieKat: I’m working on it as we speak, JFK was one scandalous man. HunkaHunka: Oh you’re working on your laptop then, unplugged I hope. <.< KatieKat: No, I’m on the desktop. HunkaHunka: Katie! It’s storming what if lightning hits near us and fries your computer then electrocute you? KatieKat: Hunk pls that’s just a myth, and besides the storm is miles away.

Another rumble of thunder sounded though this time it seemed louder, the storm had been miles away a mere few minutes ago, shaking her head Katie figured it must have been some kind of echo.

HunkaHunka: Did you jinx the storm or something? That thunder was crazy loud!

Katie went to type her response when out of the corner of her eye she noticed a bolt of lightning strike the power box outside, but before she could react the electricity coursed its way through the electrical circuits and into the tips of Katie’s finger, the zap so powerful that she went flying back all the way across the room, the last thing she saw before blacking out was her desktop going up in flames.

A month-long coma and multiple physical therapy appointments later Katie was back to her normal self, the incident that had happened in late November seemed so far away now that it was mid-February. She had felt weird ever since the incident but never brought it up thinking it was probably just her body still getting used to the metal pole in her left arm after she broke it from slamming against the wall that night. “Geez you’d think after almost two months my body would feel better.” she mumbled as she slouched back against the number of pillows she kept on her bed for comfort. Looking to her left arm she poked at the area that she knew was now metal and no longer bone, it made her feel like some kind of cyborg which in her book was pretty fucking cool. Picking up her laptop she felt a strange jolt in her left arm, dropping the computer back onto her bed she quickly grabbed her left arm whilst stringing out a line of mumbled curses as she waited for the pain to dull. “What the hell was that-” she began, but cut herself off as she pulled her right hand away from her left arm to reveal that her whole left inner forearm was glowing, and not just glowing but, looked like a digital keyboard. She had to be dreaming...Right? Poking the T key on the keyboard she heard a subtle tap and nearly jumped out of her skin. Grabbing her laptop she quickly opened it and brought up a blank Google Doc, looking to her left arm again she began to type out her name, once finished she felt a cold chill run down her spine as the google doc read simply ‘Katie Holt’. Shutting her laptop she quickly scrambled away from it feeling as if she had just committed some kind of crime. ‘What the hell is going on?’ she thought and picked up her phone. Once again the same jolt came once her left hand came in contact with the smartphone, hissing loudly she began to dial hunk and put the phone to her ear. “Katie! What’s up?” Hunk answered cheerfully. Katie blinked as she heard an echo “Are you in a tunnel?”. “What? No, I'm in the living room watching my twin sisters why?” her best friend asked confused. Katie’s eyebrows knitted together in confusion, moving the phone a little away from her ear she spoke again “Are you sure?”. “Yeah, I mean I can snapchat you them watching lion king right now,” he laughed. The sixteen-year-old questioned how hunk heard her so clearly and why there was an echo. Sitting her phone on her bed she began to speak again. “Can you hear me?” Katie asked. “Uhm yes? Loud and clear why?” Hunk asked sounding as equally confused as she felt. Biting her lip she got up and walked to the other side of her room, she had to be slightly drowned out there right? “What about now?” the sixteen-year-old asked one more time. Her best friend groaned “Yes Katie, crystal”. “Hunk, I am literally walking down the hall to the kitchen and my phone is in my room.” she said walking out her door. “No way, did you invent something?!” he asked excitedly. Katie looked her right hand that she had been holding against her chest and moved it away “No.”. “What was that? You faded out.” Hunk replied. Feeling sick Katie brought her right hand up to her mouth as if to cover it and started speaking “And now?” “Good again.” the older boy declared. Katie started to shake horribly, what was going on? Why could she hear phone calls in her head and type on her computer using her left arm that was now a subtle green glowing keyboard for some reason. Running to her room she quickly locked the door behind her in an absolute panic as she tried to search for some kind of logical reasoning for this, but the only one she could come up with was she was dreaming and after multiple pinches she was fairly certain she was wide awake and living some kind of nightmare or one of Matt’s childish pranks that sometimes went too far. “Hunk I gotta go.” she said and hung up on Hunk before he could object. Opening her computer she began to type using the normal keyboard into Google ‘I can hear phone calls in my head’ which made her sound like some kind of crazy person. A thing called phantom ringing came up, but that wasn’t what she meant and the rest was useless voicemail and speakerphone stuff. This was something out of one of Lance’s comic books and though she enjoyed the stories she knew they were all fictional, science fiction if you will, but what was happening to her right now wasn’t fiction, she had become some kind of computerized human in the few months after the incident. “Relax Katie.” she spoke out loud to herself whilst taking a deep breath “Just go to sleep, everything will be fine after a nap.” she mumbled the last part whilst tucking herself under her green comforter. Beginning to close her eyes she blocked out any thoughts from entering her mind as she focused solely on things that made her feel sleepy, but her focus was quickly changed when there was repetitive loud knocking on her front door. ‘You have to be kidding me.’ Katie thought as she slid out from under the comforter. “Katie it’s me!” she heard Hunk’s familiar voice call to her as she descended the stairs. The brunette blinked in confusion as she opened up the door to see Hunk holding the hands of his little twin sisters “The heck Hunk!?” she said being mindful of little ears. Hunk walked in quickly and gave his sisters a bag of toys he had brought “You can’t just sound all panicked and hang up on me like that!” he declared puffing out his cheeks. Katie couldn’t help but smile a bit at her best friends behavior, he had been protective of her and Lance since they were kids so she should have seen all of this coming. “Alright, Ronda and Rachelle stay here and play with your toys alright?” Hunk said looking to the twin girls that were currently looking through the bag of toys. The brown eyed girls nodded signaling to both Hunk and Katie that it was safe to go talk in the next room, for the time being, walking into the kitchen Katie felt her anxiety rise at the thought of explaining all of this to Hunk, but she rather it be him than some doctor who would probably make her some kind of human lab rat. “Alright, so what is going on?” Hunk asked as he helped himself to a glass of water. Biting her lip the sandy-haired brunette began to search for the right words “Well you see…” she began “Something or well, I think the accident did..something to me.”. The ebony haired teen blinked “I mean you have a metal pole in your arm so.” he said sipping his water. As she began to fidget with her hands she remembered her left inner forearm had turned into a keyboard “Okay I'm going to show you something, but you can’t tell ANYONE about this, and I mean anyone Hunk, that includes Lance and your Moms.”. Sitting down his water as he felt the air get more serious the older boy then gave a nod but was confused as to what could be so serious from the girl who literally sends alien memes to the group chat at four A.M. Taking a deep breath Katie stretched out her left arm and gently poked at her inner forearm, suddenly the digital keyboard came to like and Hunk’s tan features went pale. “Th-That’s one convincing tattoo.” Hunk nervously laughed. Katie shook her head taking Hunk’s hand “Touch it.” her tone serious. Gulping he gently poked at one of the keys and noticed it turned darker like an actual digital keyboard would at touch “What the fu-” he began to yell but, Katie cut him off by slamming her hand over his mouth. “That’s not the only thing, remember the phone situation?” Katie asked not removing her hand from the other mouth. Hunk nodded. “I could hear the whole call in my head and my right wrist was acting as the transmitter.” she said removing her hand from the male’s mouth. Hunk stood silent for a good minute not sure how to exactly reply to the fact that one of his childhood best friends was now some kind of cyborg, yet not, more or so like a walking computer. “What else can you do now?” he finally asked. “I-I’m not sure…” Katie answered as she raked her sandy brown locks through her fingers “All this happened after I touched my laptop and phone.”. “Wait after you touched them?” Hunk asked. She nodded “I picked up both and in doing so I felt this really painful jolt, but after it happened I had a usable keyboard on my skin and could hear phone calls in my head.”. “Have you tried any other electronics?” he asked. Katie blinked “Didn’t know you saw me as some kind of masochist.”. Hunk rolled his eyes “I didn’t mean it like that and you know it, I mean can you like get powers from other people’s electronics.”. The sixteen-year-old shrugged “Give me your phone and we’ll see.”. “What? No!” the male squeaked as he held his phone protectively “Use Matt’s laptop or something!”. “And have his search history seared into my brain?! No way!” she nearly gagged at the thought of what could possibly be on Matt’s computer. “Wait for what?” he asked, “You would get the stuff off his computer if you touched it?”. Shrugging Katie closed her eyes “Let me check something.” she then began to think about files on her computer and suddenly a file of pictures simply title ‘friends’ popped up and began to come into view one by one as if she was looking a computer screen. “Well?” Hunk asked. Opening her eyes to answer she was quickly cut off by Hunk’s scream “What?!” “Your eyes are glowing!” he yelped. Katie looked at him like he was insane, but the noticed on the wall behind them was a projection of the picture she had been viewing when she opened her eyes, it was one of their group of friends at the beach last summer. Seeing her shock Hunk turned to see what Katie was looking at “You’re doing that?!”. She nodded and closed her eyes again thinking of something else other than the photo and when she opened her eyes there was a youtube video of a kitten playing in place of the picture as Hunk watched in astonishment and slight horror. Closing her eyes one last time she cut off any kind of thought that could project and when she opened her eyes again there was no longer any kind of projection on the wall. Hunk brought both of his hands together and held them in front of his mouth as he drew in a deep sigh “Katie this is…”. “Weird, strange, freaky?” Katie suggested. “Awesome!” the older boy declared. The brunette shook her head a bit in shock “Come again?”. She asked seeing as a minute ago Hunk looked like he was gonna faint. “I mean yeah it’s weird, but like, you’re a walking computer!” he cheered happily. “Wouldn’t cyborg fit better?” she asked. He thought for a moment “What is the definition of a cyborg?” Katie felt a strange shiver go up to her spine “Cyborg, noun, a fictional or hypothetical person whose physical abilities are extended beyond normal human limitations by mechanical elements built into the body.”. Hunk blinked “Did you just…” “I just fucking did a web search with my brain!” she squeaked holding her head as panic overtook her. “Alright calm down, it’s new information to this already shocking development, but I'm sure with time we can figure this out.” the male spoke as he rubbed the back of his neck nervously. Sighing Katie threw herself into one of the bar stools her family had around the breakfast bar, all of this was making her head spin, had she really turned into some kind of superhuman? It would explain why the shock hadn’t killed her, but still how was it scientifically possible? Raking a hand through her hair once more she let out an annoyed groan as she placed her head on the bar as her head continued to spin. Rhonda walked into the room, her dark brown curls bouncing around her face as she tugged at Hunk’s leg “I’m hungry!”. Shortly after Rachelle ran in “Me too!”. Hunk laughed “Well maybe big sister Pidge wants to go out to lunch with us?” he asked using Katie’s nicknamed. Katie raised her head and managed a smile at the two girls who were currently giving her puppy dog eyes “Alright, let me go get my bag.”

Entering the small diner in downtown Altea was always a pleasant experience, the air always smelled of delicious foods and the staff was friendly and polite which made you want to return in the future. Walking over to a booth both teenagers slid into either side accompanied by one of the twins, as they sat there Katie couldn’t help but feel like some kind of freak of nature that didn’t belong around normal humans anymore. Hunk noticed Katie shift uncomfortably “Katie relax, you look normal as long as you don’t, ‘ya know.” he said addressing the glowing eye situation earlier. “Know what?” a familiar voice asked. Looking up Katie seen Shiro, her brother Matt’s and Allura’s boyfriend holding two normal menus and two kid ones “I forgot you worked here!”. The older male laughed “Wow I'm hurt Katie, to think I grew up with you.”. She stuck her tongue out at him as she felt a wave of calmness wash over her, Hunk was right, as long as her powers or whatever you wanted to refer to them as didn’t act up she looked like a normal teenager. “Alright what will we be having to drink today?” Shiro asked as he pressed his pen into the writing pad. “Two fanta oranges for the twins and just a tea for me.” Hunk said as his eyes scanned the menu. “Okay, and for you Katie?” the eighteen-year-old asked. Katie thought for a moment “Just a glass of water.”. “Alright, i’ll be right back with those,” Shiro said with a smile as he walked back towards the kitchen. Relaxing back against the red-padded booth Katie watched as Ronda and Rachelle doodled on the paper menu with the supplied crayons, taking out her phone she went to turn on her camera, however when she did her vision changed to be as if she was looking into a camera. Hunk noticed how pale Katie had grown “You okay?”. Katie quickly exited the camera setting on her phone and closed her eyes, when she opened them again everything was back to normal ‘No. No, I am not.’ she thought laying her head down. Shiro approached the table and sat the drinks down before casting a look of worry at Katie “Are you okay? Should I call Matt to come get you?”. Sighing she shook her head “It’s alright guys, just tired.” she lied faking a smile. Both males gave her a look that basically said we don’t believe you, but we will let it slide for now to which Katie was very thankful for. Shiro took their orders and left for the kitchen once more leaving the twins and the teens alone once more. “Katie are you sure we shouldn’t talk to an actual-” Hunk began, but was cut off. “No!” Katie said covering her face with her hands. Her best friend frowned “Katie how else are we gonna figure this out?”. “I don’t know.” she replied honestly “All I know is that if I tell an actual doctor what is going on I'm either gonna get thrown in the loony bin or become a human lab rat.”. “Isn’t Allura studying bio-med?” he asked sipping his tea. Sighing the sandy-haired brunette glanced out the window “I don’t know Hunk.” she repeated herself. Hunk gave a sigh of his own he crossed his arms over his chest “We can’t just ignore this and you know it.” “Well can we at least just talk about it later?” Katie hissed in annoyance. Rachelle picked up her coloring page that was inside her menu and showed Katie “Look Katie! I gave the cat glasses like yours!”. A smile crossed the older girl’s face “That’s really cool Rach’!”. Ronda held up her coloring page, it was the same picture except this cat had Hunk’s signature working headband on rather than Katie’s glasses “I have mine bubba’s headband!”. Both teenagers smiled feeling the worry of all the techno mumbo jumbo leave their thoughts for a little while thanks to the girls, they even joined in on doodling on napkins with the crayons while they waited for their food. Needless to say, the afternoon was saved thanks to the twins, but Katie and Hunk both knew, in the end, they would have to really talk all of this through in order to reach a conclusion even if Katie wished to just ignore it.

When Monday came Katie felt as if the whole world was watching her and waiting for her to mess up and reveal that she was now some kind of superhuman. Staring into the full-length mirror in her personal bathroom she felt like she should look slightly different, but she didn’t she still had the same mid back length sandy brown hair, hazel eyes hidden behind reading glasses, and pale freckled skin. “I can do this.” she mumbled to herself as she nervously ran her brush through her hair one last time. “Katie!” Matt yelled from outside her bedroom door “Hurry up Shiro is almost here to take us to school!”. “Coming!” she replied and quickly gathered her things. Shiro taking the Holt siblings to school wasn’t anything new, he had been doing it since he got his permit back when Katie was in her last year of middle school so that none of them had to ride the dreaded bus anymore. “Bye Mom! Bye, Dad!” Katie yelled as she ran past the kitchen and towards the front door. “Oh! Bye, sweetie!” her Mother called back. “Have a good day sweet pea!” her Father replied after. Quickly slipping on her shoes that were at the door she then exited the house to see Shiro’s black SUV parked in the driveway, Matt already in the passenger seat as the two talked about who knew what. Opening the passenger side back door Katie climbed in “Talking about me?” she joked. “Oh definitely.” Matt played along with a snort. Shiro shook his head with a smile on his face “We were talking superheroes.”. “Never took you for a superhero fan, Shiro” Katie said buckling. “I mean I really wasn’t until Matt showed me this one, his name is Barry Allen and his super ego is known as The Flash, pretty cool dude.” he replied as he backed out. “How insane would it be if stuff like that could actually happen?” Matt added. Katie gave her best attempt at a laugh trying to hide her nerves “Yeah, it would be pretty insane.”. Keith, Shiro’s adopted younger brother and one of Katie’s best friends took his headphones out “You guys are both nerds.”. “Says the guy who's listening to five years old All Time Low songs.” Shiro snorted. Katie and Matt stifled a laugh while Keith shot a death glare towards the rear view mirror so Shiro could see it. Katie was thankful Keith was with them, he was easily her third best friend next to Hunk and Lance even if he and Lance didn’t really get along all that well, he was her cryptid and alien buddy. Once they were at the school Katie quickly hopped out of the SUV and made a b line for the school’s front doors, Keith easily keeping up with her as they entered Altea High with it’s oh so familiar smell of sub par cafeteria food and teachers lounge coffee. “Hey, Pidge!...Mullet.” Lance called out their nicknames as he approached them. Keith groaned “You’re annoying. See you first period Katie.” he said ruffling his friend hair before walking off to his locker “Man, what’s his issue?” Lance asked as he walked with Katie towards the cafeteria. Katie shrugged “I mean you could call him by his actual name you know.”. He smirked “Mullet isn’t his actual name?” he joked. She elbowed his side as a small smile crossed her face “Come on at least try to be nice McClain.”. “Ouch last name! That hurts Holt.” he said putting an arm around her shoulders as they entered the cafeteria. Removing his arm from around her Katie sat down across from Hunk and Shay at their table while the two lovebirds were sharing a cutesy moment of debating who loved who the most, it was enough to make her lose her appetite. Lance faked a loud cough causing the pair to look up “Hey.”. “Oh hey, Lance.” Hunk waved with a smile then looked to Katie “Hey to you too.”. Katie nodded and looked to the side signaling to Hunk that she needed to talk to him. “Ah, I'll be right back okay?” he said looking to Shay. Shay nodded “I need to go find Allura anyway to give her back her notes.” Hunk nodded and told Lance that he and Katie would be right back which earned a questioning eyebrow raise from the other male. “You two hiding something from me?” Lance asked. Hunk shook his head “It’s just robotics club stuff.” he lied. “Yeah!” Katie added. “And you can’t talk about it around me?” the Cuban asked. “Lance anytime we mention robotics you either fall asleep while we talk or change the topic.” she replied placing her hands on her hips. “True, alright see you guys later!” Lance said heading for the lunch line. Hunk and Katie both gave a sigh of relief and made their way outside of the school and to the back alley way where they could talk in private. “Alright, so any new discoveries?” Hunk asked leaning against the wall. Katie shook her head “No, but that doesn’t mean whatever this isn’t going to act up today.”. He nodded in agreement “Yeah I mean if you do that google search thing again you’re bound to look suspicious.” Groaning the brunette slid down the wall burying her face in her hands “Hunk what am I gonna do?”. “I really think we need to tell Allura.” Hunk answered. “Tell me what?” A familiar feminine voice asked. Katie yelped in surprise as she looked up to see the one and only Allura, her light blond nearly white hair was braided and thrown over her shoulder giving the full view of her curious and suspicious blue eyes. “N-Nothing!” Katie squeaked out waving her hands wildly “It’s nothing!”. Allura frowned “Katie you know you can tell me anything.” ‘Except this’ Katie thought. Hunk couldn’t hold it in anymore “Katie has super powers!” “Hunk!” Katie hissed. “I’m sorry, okay, but this is just weird and Allura is the only person we know who could possibly help!” He said throwing his arms out on either side of him. Allura has a small chuckle “That’s a funny joke guys, now what’s really going on?”. Katie sighed running her hands through her hair “It’s...It’s not a joke.”. The older female’s eyebrows knitted together “Katie it’s physically impossible for super powers to be well real.”. Looking around to make the coast was clear first Katie touched her inner left forearm causing the keyboard to light up “Well they are.”.

RISING FROM THE GRAVE TO SAY SHIDGE SUPERBAT AU

BatPidge BatPidge BatPidge!

Okay so Shiro is the mild mannered reporter that’s nice and no one suspects. He got injured w kryptonite so he has the scar and white tuft but when he uses his superpowers they temporarily go away due to healing bc I said so. He’s trying okay.

Katie and Matt are twins and the heirs to the biggest company in Gotham. When their parents died, Katie stayed out of the public eye, becoming reculusive. Matt took over the company at 18. He did the whole fake playboy thing and Pidge was actually his nickname. When he goes missing, Katie takes over and pretends to be him so no one will know he’s gone. She believes he’s still out there, but if word gets out he’s gone then things will go south.

SuperShiro just wants to help the world. BatPidge wants to find her brother. And also protect Gotham.

I See You

Part 1:

The life of a superhero really isn't that glamorous. Everyone acts like being in a team means you always have each other back and are the best of friends. And while that is true to a point people love to forget just how annoying other people can be. Lance had been the newest recruit to the Paladins, he was technically only there for surveillance since he didn't really have a combat oriented power but after proving his skill as a sniper time and time again he was finally brought on as the team's eye in the sky. “Ok team the plan for the mission is simple.” Shiro began pointing to the screen with his cybernetic arm. Considering he was a cyborg it was kinda hilarious to have spent the last ten minutes watching him try and fail to get the computer working and eventually gave up to let Pidge take control, they all had the feeling that even if she wasn't a technopath she still would have been the best option for him. “Me and Keith will enter the compound at point B while Hunk covers point A in case anyone tries to escape. We need this to be a stealth mission so no busting down the walls ok buddy?” Hunk chuckled nervously “ill try, I'm sorry again for that truck I swore it was going to hit a kitten.” Shiro sighed “yeah I know, but maybe tossing it in the air wasn't the best option at the time.” he cleared his throat deciding to change the topic before they got too far off track “Lance you will be stationed on the clock tower covering me and Keith.” Lance gave him a lazy two finger salute “no problem boss, what would you guys do without your sniper.” “Exactly the same as normal without having to listen to you in our ear.” Keith huffed a small puff of fire came out his mouth. “Oh please, you would be dead a hundred times over without me hot head.” Keith raised an eyebrow “and whys your superpower again? Oh yeah, you got good eyesight right?” Lance couldn't help but touch his glasses. His powers let him see far away and even zoom in onto small details. The problem was that the further he looked the worse his close up vision got. The medic said that he can't push himself much past 100 meters otherwise he would lose his sight entirely. “Shut up Keith you know he only needs those things because you keep running off.” Lance smiled at his best friend, never doubt that Hunk will be there to defend him. “Yes thank you for reminding me Hunk” Shiro pressed a button and a blue circle surrounded the map “50 meters, don't leave the circle or Lance cant keep an eye on you.” Keith didn't look happy but Lance didn't really care, they were off in less than an hour and he had to get ready.

Lance would be lying if he said he wasn't excited as he set up his rifle. Some may think watching down from an old abandoned clock tower is boring, but to Lance, it was like playing the most exciting video game. He carefully took off his glasses and placed them in his case as he zoomed in on Keith and Shiro checking around them “Your clear to enter.” “Rodger,” Shiro replied. “And here I thought my name was Lance.” He could see how they rolled their eyes but decided not to humour him and instead entered the building. They were lucky that large windows lined the top of the walls so Lance could watch everything instead of having to shoot through the concrete like he had to in the past. “I count seven hostiles, five to your right Shiro rest on your left Keith.” Lance pulled the trigger on his gun “light em up boys.” he smirked as the light bulb exploded above them and the targets began to panic. It went quickly after that in flashes of red and purple blasts, it was particularly amusing to watch one try to make a run for it right into the broad chest of Hunk. Poor guy was tossed back inside like a rag doll. After ten minutes the building was clear. “Lance, can you see the package?” Shiro asked trying to look where he believed Lance was and instead missed entirely and was more focused over his right shoulder. “Negative, there's a back office out of view check there.” Lance shrugged as they did just that. He was so focused on Shiro and Hunk entering the room that he almost missed the unmistakable silver briefcase flash on the back of a motorbike that sped away from the building. “Purple motorbike heading north has the case!” Lance yelled. “I'm on it” Keith blasted through the wall and took off running. Keith really was a sight to behold, his fire powers all flash and destruction making him so powerful but also so beautiful. Lance hated to admit it, but he could watch Keith for hours. However thanks to Keith speed and the thrill of the chase Lance didn't realise he had long since left the safe premature until the familiar ache returned to his eyes. “Keith buddy you're going too far I can’t follow you.” Lance hissed pulling his vision back to normal as he rubbed his eyes with a hiss of pain. “Thank don't, in a big boy I can look after myself.” “Sure you can cowboy, just try not to get yourself killed without me.” Keith didn't answer but then again Lance didn't expect him to. Judging from the sounds he was fighting and though Lance wanted to watch he knew from the static from the coms that Keith was well beyond his limit. He was content with just listening to Keith kick the bad guy's ass. Then Keith cried out in pain. “Keith?” No answer. “Goddammit Keith” Lance hissed as he looked around for any new perch he could get to. Anyway, he could get closer so he could help. There was nothing. This was an abandoned industrial area, they had been lucky to even find the clock tower. Lance bit his lip unsure what to do. Then Keith screamed and lance made up his mind. He steadied himself as he pushed his eyes to where he last saw Keith, then further and further until the colours began to dull. Keith was laying in an alleyway being kicked over and over again in the ribs. Lance took a breath ignoring how his eyes burned. He took aim as hot liquid ran down his cheeks. He fired as he blacked out.

Keith thought he was going to die. This guy was fireproof and no matter how many times he blasted him nothing happened. The guy was tougher and stronger than Keith and despite being a hell of a fighter ended up on the floor being beaten to a pulp. Then the guy stopped and fell to his knees a bullet hole in his neck. “Man Lance I gotta admit that was a good shot” Keith chuckled as he struggled to his feet. “Lance?” He was met with silence, his com had been damaged in the fight. Sighing Keith began the task of returning to his team and prepared himself for a lecture from Shiro on going off plan.

He expected to find his leader standing in the doorway with his arms crossed and a stern expression on his face. He never imagined to find him with blood covering the front of his shirt and a horrified look on his face. “Shiro? Oh God, what happened are you ok?” Shiro nodded numbly “its not my blood…” “Hunk?” Keith whipped his head around unable to see the friendly giant “did he get hurt?” “It wasn't hunk” No. Oh God no please not Lance. “W-what happened? He was supposed to be safe in his perch.” “You happened Keith.” Shiro muttered, “you knew to stay in the perimeter and despite that, you still ran off.” “I had to” Keith tried to defend himself but the next words to leave Shiro's mouth left a sense of cold dread in the pit of his stomach. “You were more than 200 meters away! That was twice Lance’s limit!” Shiro snapped grabbing Keith by the collar “because you decided to run off and play lone wolf Lance had to push himself too far, I found him bleeding from the eyes and passed out in a pool of his own blood.” Keith felt like he was going to be sick “w-where is he now?” Shiro let go of him “He’s heading back with Hunk, their performing emergency surgery… maybe they can save his eyes but… Keith, I want you to understand something. Even though you believed you were doing the right thing you didn't save any civilians or prevent any world ending event. You stopped a drug lord's address getting away. Something we could have done another day. Because of you, Lance may never see again.” Keith took off running. He had to get to Lance.

Superheroes AU: Shance proposal

Okay so bear with me, but I just saw the Incredibles II a couple days ago and have superheroes on the brain sooo... uh... more under the cut because I don’t know how to write short stuff... so sorry to mobile users ;-;

So - people with powers exist and some use them for good (some not so good, but hey), as such in order to keep things tidy and organized there are few “corporations” who basically sponsor and gather heroes together. Voltron Inc. is one such company (run and operated by Allura of course, after taking over her late father, Alfor the original founder). Voltron Inc. actually has quite a large number of heroes under their sponsorship, but six particular ones tend to stand out more:

Black Paladin (aka Shiro, 35), who’s powers are telekinesis and telepathy (but for ethical reasons, he doesn’t use the second one that often).

Blue Spirit (aka Lance, 27), who’s powers are hydrokinesis.

Red Phoenix (aka Keith, 28), who’s powers are hyper-acceleration.

Yellow Lion (aka Hunk, 27), who’s powers are crystal manipulation.

Green Gremlin (aka Pidge, 25), who’s powers are gravitational field manipulation.

Orange Bolt (aka Matt, 29), who’s powers are electrical telekinesis.

It starts off as another typical day and of course a crime in the process of being busted by Black Paladin, who is doing fine on his own but Blue Spirit cuts in anyways and helps wrap up the case. Once the bad guys are chartered off to prison and the two are alone, Black just nags Blue saying he had everything under control. Blue just grins, waving a nonchalant hand in the air, like “yeah, yeah - of course you did. Thanks for the backup by the way~” Black just huffs, like “excuse me, who backed up who now?” and they both just laugh.

Blue gives him a flirty little smirk, asking “so we still on for tonight~”

Black replies in the same tone, “oh you know we are.”

Blue walks up to him and steals a quick little kiss before saying “see you tonight then~” and dashes off before the paparazzi can swarm them. Black also takes the opportunity to slip away while the media is not on him. Later that night - Lance and Shiro are enjoying a dinner date in a fancy skyline hotel, laughing and talking and having a good time. After dinner Shiro takes Lance outside to the open balcony and they enjoy the city night view. While they’re admiring the view, Shiro turns to Lance and clears his throat, suddenly looking anxious and excited at the same time, saying he wants to ask Lance something. Lance bites down on his lip to keep from squealing, already guessing what Shiro is about to ask him. Before anything more can be said, their alarms go off and Allura informs them that several large monsters are attacking the docks and they need to get down there immediately.

Of course both Lance and Shiro are internally cursing the timing, but they affirm Allura and say they’re on their way. Lance huffs out a sigh, but turns to grin at Shiro, saying “five minutes?” Shiro just nods, returning the grin, “see there in five minutes.” and they both just - jump from the balcony because hey powers! Plus it’s faster than taking the elevator.

So they make it to the docks, Black helping out Yellow (Hunk) while these creepy, slimy squid like creatures are crawling out of the sea and on to the docks. Yellow is glad to see Black and while they’re fighting asks how the date went. Black says it went great - perfect even! Yellow is happy that the date went well and asks, “so I take it he said yes then?” Black kinda “eeeeeh - actually, I - didn’t ask him yet...”

On the other side of the docks, Red (Keith) is holding off his own before Blue comes flying in and helps him out. Red makes a note that given how annoyed Blue looks, the date must’ve been going pretty well; Blue whines that it was going sooo perfectly - good food, good wine, plenty of laughs, oh and of course Black looking so hot and handsome as usual. Red just rolls his eyes, slicing through the monsters with his swords, asking Blue “so he finally asked you then?” He hears Blue let out the loudest, longest, most desperate sigh ever, saying “Nooooo - but I think he was going to...”

Back to Yellow and Black - Yellow punches down a tentacle before turning to Black, eyes wide in disbelief like, “what do you mean you didn’t ask him?!?!” Black just exasperates, “I was about to, but something came up!” Yellow flails like, “What the hell is more important than asking the love of your life to marry you?!” Black just kinda looks at him and gestures with his hands like, ‘uh, do you not see the monsters we’re fighting right now?!’ Yellow pauses for a moment before going, “okay, fair point, but still! You guys have been dating for two years! At this rate, it’ll be another two years before you propose to him!” Black looks indignant like, “hey! I’m not that pathetic!” and Yellow just looks at him, like dude and Black frowns before throwing his hands up, “okay, okay so I am that pathetic...”

Back to where Blue is - Green (Pidge) and Orange (Matt) have joined in the fight and Green is just like, “he didn’t ask you yet?! What the hell!” Blue just sighs, complaining about the timing and why did these stupid tentacle monsters have to attack the docks right at this moment. Orange pretty much deep fries one of the monsters before turning to Blue with a sympathetic look, saying that sucks, dude. It took over a year for Black to confess his feelings to Blue, despite how blatantly obvious Blue had been. Blue whines that they’ll be retired by the time he gets that proposal.

On the other side, Yellow asks if Black has the ring on him now, which Black nods and says it’s still in his back pocket (give hero costumes pockets damnit!). So Yellow says he should propose to him - like right now. And Black’s like “what?! No! We’re in the middle of a battle!” and starts going on about how the timing has to be right and there is nothing perfect about proposing to Blue in the middle of a monster fight. Yellow points out that if tonight is anything to go by, there’s no such thing as the “perfect” timing. Black thinks on it before agreeing and you know what, let’s do this! I’m doing this! And starts making his way to where Blue is fighting. So they’re standing back to back and fighting and Black starts, “okay, so uh - I know this is probably a bad time to ask, but I have to do or I’ll never get around to it.” And Blue is just like, “Seriously!? Here? Now?!” Black turns around so he and Blue and facing each other and he looks Blue right in the eyes and asks, “Blue - will you marry me?”

Blue just, isn’t sure if he should feel exasperated or giddy as he asks, “you’re seriously doing this? here?” A bunch of monsters are closing in on them, so Black just - creates a huge physic bubble and pushes them all off the docks and back into the ocean they crawled from. He gives Blue a fond smile and gets down on one knee, saying he’s dead serious about this.

Black, “Blue - you’re the reason I’m still fighting here, today. If it hadn’t been for you, your influence, I never would’ve found hope, the will to keep going on today. I want to spend the rest of my life with you - granted given our line of work that probably won’t be very long, but I’ll take what I get. So...Blue - will you do me the honor and stay by my side?” at which Black reaches into his pocket and pulls out the ring he’s been saving throughout the whole night. Blue is on the verge of tears, a huge smile on his face; before he can take the ring or say anything, Black gets knocked through the air by a giant tentacle and the “final boss” monster appears.

The ring goes flying through the air, Green quickly using their powers to keep it afloat while Red goes after it (Orange went to help Black). Red manages to snatch the ring, but he gets knocked over by another tentacle and loses it again. Yellow makes a quick grab for it, going “I GOT IT, I GOT IT!” but ends getting knocked over too, groaning, “...I don’t got it...” Before anyone can register what happens, the monster ends up swallowing the ring and everyone just kinda cringes, like “yikes...” Black looks absolutely heartbroken, having spent hours in the jewelry shop agonizing over the shape, colour, cut, etc (Yellow knows, because Black dragged him along). Blue is absolutely enraged, like “Oh - fuck no, bitch!!!” and starts charging at the boss, battle cry and all and begins ripping the creature to shreds.

Red, “...we should probably stand back, shouldn’t we?”

Green, “Oh yeah...”

Everyone just kinda - hangs back while Blue literally tears the monster apart to get the ring back. Once he has the ring, he quickly washes off the monster guts and slime from himself and the ring and walks over to Black, friendly smile and clears his throat, holding the ring out, saying “anyways - I believe you were in the middle of something~?” Orange is just, “...I am awe-struck and absolutely terrified right now...” Black just looks at him with amazement and disbelief, taking the ring like, “So I take it that’s a yes?” Blue just rolls his eyes, saying, “Babe - I just tore a monster to pieces to get this ring back; it damn well means yes!” Black has the biggest, goofiest grin on his face as he takes Blue’s hand and slides the ring on, saying “I love you so much!” (in the background Red just groans out loud that they were made for each other.) Blue takes a moment to admire the ring now safely fitted on his finger, before grabbing Black and pulls him into a kiss, the others catcalling and whistling in the background.

Back at the Voltron headquarters, Allura groans, saying that Black and Blue are going to be even more obnoxiously flirty than ever. Coran just laughs, knowing that Allura’s been secretly rooting for them all this time and is happy that Black finally plucked up the courage to propose.

Masquerade: A Voltron AU

(okay, so it’s not entirely a masterpost but typing this much took longer than I expected)

Premise

In the middle of the desert lies the city of Galaxia- a radiant metropolis boasting the latest and greatest technology. Foremost among Galaxia’s crop of inventors and geniuses is the research conglomerate Daibaz, owned by reclusive millionaire Zarkon and its research led by Dr. Honerva Garos, widely regarded for her advances in medicine and humanitarian efforts.

Despite a glowing PR record, Daibaz- and Galaxia in general- has its shadows.

After an unknown chemical leak and a hasty cover-up, certain members of the population have been turning up with strange powers- and many are exploiting those powers to commit crimes. Dubbed “Psykers” by the media, police are frequently left without leads for how to investigate the source of the phenomenon, and often underequipped to match the unknown abilities of the Psykers, it’s created a context of panic where they’re desperate for any kind of ability to catch a Psyker- and even those without particular illegal inclinations get to hiding their powers fast. Masks and pseudonyms are a necessary precaution, but some people aren’t just happy not being criminals...

Some people are becoming superheroes.

Characters

Allura

Orphaned after the sudden, tragic death of her father and her mother’s disappearance several years prior, the influential young heiress has returned to Galaxia, city of her birth, from her schooling abroad, accompanied by her stalwart-if-strange honorary uncle. While ostensibly coming home to settle her father’s estate, she has another reason for returning to Alfor’s sprawling manor.

Harboring deep suspicions about her father’s business partner and friend Zarkon, Allura sets out to investigate the cryptic message Alfor sent to her three days before his death, accompanied by the gift of four peculiarly clever mice, and whether or not the “laboratory fire” that claimed his life was deliberately set. Of course, stepping off of her plane and right into the Psyker Crisis was not for the record, but a proper scion of the Alteos family is nothing if not resolute.

Investigating renovations she doesn’t remember from her childhood, Allura is able to discover a hidden lab containing pieces of his research into a serum proposed to “elevate potential”- of which the mice appear to have been successful test subjects. Lacking Psyker powers herself, Allura uses the laboratory to build and test a suit of mechanical armor, taking to the front lines of the Crisis as the white-armored Paladin, while civilian side, struggling with a lack of contacts and trying to keep her vigilante activities hidden from Honerva, who after many years of aloof distance is making a seemingly earnest attempt to connect with the daughter of her estranged colleague... always at the worst time.

(But perhaps she could be trusted? Surely, the good doctor couldn’t possibly be aware what Zarkon might be up to...)

Coran

Allura’s dearly beloved eccentric father figure and dedicated, if deeply concerned keeper of her secret mission and vigilante activities. He’ll do research, he’ll keep the house clean, he’ll coordinate missions, prepare tea, position pillows when late night adventures get too much, and offer first aid and the occasional (frequent) dry remark, anything for the young miss. Heaven help him if the ruffians Allura seems to be collecting track mud on that rug- that’s imported.

While largely content to toil in relative silence, Coran quietly holds claim to history with some manner of highly classified government intelligence cell- and while his military days are long over, he wasn’t born yesterday young man, and he doesn’t carry that tactical knife around for sentimentality’s sake. And of course then there’s those people he meets for tea and reminiscing about the old days... and possibly, gleaning some intel in the process.

Shiro

Takashi Shirogane held down an utterly unremarkable security guard job while attending local college. Not that any of that matters, of course, because he’s very definitely, certainly dead- one of the first Psyker-related deaths that sparked major panic and outrage. Not every day the only remains you have of someone are one arm.

The Psyker Wraith, on the other hand, is practically a local cryptid- between his incredible agility and the power to render himself briefly intangible, he’s barely even seen, much less anybody having a hope of catching him. Shrouded in concealing black layers and goggles, he’s identified only by the tuft of white hair that escapes his hood, his unusual metal arm, and the sword he carries, a straight-bladed weapon that he’s able to empower with unusual cutting force. The unnaturally perfect cuts he leaves behind are often the only signal of his passing- despite his power and formidable reputation, he seems rarely interested in destruction, but has been observed attacking certain facilities.

It turns out Galaxia stands atop a labyrinth of sewers, catwalks, and support columns- a sunless, unmapped region where even a legally dead person turned runaway lab rat with a scrambled memory can hide out. Having a surface contact who can smuggle him niceties like changes of clothes, hair dye, and sunglasses to cover up those distinctive electric-colored Psyker eyes (unlike most, he can’t turn those off) helps, but suffice to say not being able to recall who spirited him away from the accident and how he got clear, besides a nebulous connection to Daibaz, is just one of many stresses chewing on his head. Though a not-so-chance meeting with the mysterious “Paladin” may be able to turn things around for him.

Keith

Having grown up as far as he knew an orphan, Keith honestly didn’t put that much thought into the fate of his parents, what had happened to them so long ago- until a day before the spill he received a cryptic phone call from an unknown number warning him something was going to happen.

Since then, normal high school has gotten a little less normal and a lot more of an issue, with him and his self-declared rival accidentally discovering they both have superpowers now. In Keith’s case- a precognitive hypersensitivity to his surroundings and the power to generate flames. Which is just another problem he has to deal with, after his best friend went missing and then turned up a month later injured, feverish, and deeply disoriented on his doorstep.

Keith is quick to take to vigilanteism, not out of any particular yearning for justice as much as determined to help Shiro figure out what happened. Like Shiro, he doesn’t come up with his own name, but is dubbed Firefly by local news pundits. Dangerous work, sure, but not as frustrating as the way his sister has started hovering lately because she’s convinced he’s getting mugged on a regular basis.

Lance

Lance wanted superpowers, okay? As soon as this Psyker thing hit the news he tried everything, even dragged a totally uninterested Hunk into helping him try to awaken super abilities one way or another. Was right in the neighborhood affected by the spill, went to bed with a weird headache and everything- but no dice, whatsoever, was willing to write himself off as a super dud.

Turns out he copies powers from other people, which was super exciting except the part where he got in hot water with the local punk kid he’d been competing with for most of the school year and accidentally set his pant leg on fire.

While he’s not sure what Keith’s hiding besides the superpowers, intervening in an armed robbery ended up putting himself in the public eye as an unknown Psyker (though he was pretty miffed to discover himself making headlines as “Hoodie Avenger”, it wasn’t like he actually got to use his power without another Psyker around- just the usual being stronger and faster than normal), which ended up setting him on a crash course with Allura when he made exactly the wrong assumption about seeing a seemingly defenseless young woman being attacked by a Psyker.

That said, while accidentally scaring off someone Allura had been hoping to interrogate wasn’t his finest impression, it sure led to a more meaningful partnership. He’s still looking for a way to casually drop the name Echo to the press without risking his identity.

Hunk

Hunk got the luxury of being a second wave Psyker- initially completely powerless, even though he knew about Lance’s secret and through him, met and started working with Allura, bringing his own ideas to the technology she and the rest of the team were using. Through his awakening, gaining the ability to selectively crystallize parts of his body, the team realized that the Psyker population was actually climbing since the original spill... that was ostensibly cleaned up.

He operates under the pseudonym Granite.

Pidge

Thanks universe, she already had enough problems with people thinking she was weird before she started sprouting leaves. Pidge is really not sure what besides that her Psyker gift does- and keeps meaning to find out, but it seems obstinate to most of what she’s tried.

She was practically pulled into the team by Lance after he helped her hide during a bad “flare-up”- unlike the rest of the team her control of her powers is iffy, but just because she doesn’t have this actual super thing found out doesn’t mean Dryad isn’t packing a homemade taser she’s not afraid to use.
