This chapter was fun, but him being forced to go to highschool is jarring. If a new c53 pops up and says they're an adult, I highly doubt they can be forced to go to school. At least not easily. And with his powers, he can pass any competency test.
Not really, Weld's considered a teenager in canon, he was still part of the Wards. If he looks that much like a child, then he won't get out of going to school.
He chose this to better sell his cover, and better protect Taylor.
Ah, ok, that makes sense. I had the idea that he was complaining because the PRT were forcing it on him.
Technically speaking, Shiro
was forced to go. He's a case 53 but one who can easily hide their features so the PRT would rather allow him to mingle into society instead of standing out. In this case, he looks like a child, thus he must go to school. This gives them a chance to establish a public persona that I as a cape can fall back on. Weld, at the end of the day, can only
be Weld, for other C53's, especially ones that aren't joining the protectorate, they do their best to keep your status a secret, that's one of the few good things the PRT is actually good for in my opinion.
As I established close to the beginning of the chapter, I remember a little bit less than ass all about highschool, I haven't used 90% of it since I graduated over half a decade ago, most of that is either forgotten or situational knowledge at best, and yes I could eventually learn everything I needed through a combination of Uber and Miss Militia but that would take at the least a week of time, alongside the time it takes for me to apply for testing out, as well as it possibly requiring me to be older than I am (Shiro is physically 14-15, some states require you to be 16+ before you can even attempt to test out.) so while I'm here for at the very least 2ish weeks, I might as well establish myself and make Taylor's life a bit better. I chose to go to Winslow for that reason out of all the other places I could go with state sponsored funding.
I wonder what would happen if Taylor loaded
August Prince's power.
Since I couldn't even remember who he was when I started this story, much less now... yeah I don't see us stumbling across that particular power any time soon, we did a search of local capes on Taylors comp between chapters 3 and 4, its why I'm able to spout off Ubers name while using his power without it seeming like I know something I shouldn't. Only local capes because Taylors internet is slow as shit so trying to do a worldwide search would take just short of forever.
As do Futons. Nothing's better/scarier than an Angry Burrito Cat.
Can confirm, I used to fuck with my cats like this, they
loathed me for a few weeks afterword, I just found it amusing.
First the Heromaker was necroed and then the story Updated. Now another one has been revived by the powers of the Necro. If this happens again, then this is going to become a pattern. Quick, verify it by posting on any of drich's stories.
This story was never really dead, just slowly shambling along till it could get it's feet under them, just like My mother Simurgh story. I'm writing up a chapter for it now, don't know when It'll be ready as the muse for that story is a bit rusty, but it shouldn't be too long.
Oh god why am I still typing?
Because casual knowledge of explosives and incendiary stuff is fun?
Hell just throw some styrofoam into a mix of a little gas and a lot of diesel and you have a fun way to burn through things that would normally take a while. Used to smear the stuff around old railroad ties that were replaced and needed to be disposed of, it'd burn one of those in half in about 20 minutes.
