Firebird, a Worm AU/Xover?

Reader mode
So... Which version of Coils power are in use here? the Simulation or split timeline?

Because if it is the Simulation one, there is no way that it can accurately predict the Phoenix Force, which is pretty much a out of context problem for a shard as you can get.

Soooo~ Colin has some testimony that Taykor may have had something to do with Gladly... thats not good, thats pretty much all the PRT/Protectorate will need to railroad her into the wards even if she joins her friends in there night time escapades.

Not really. Gladly is one of the people who provoked her trigger and she honestly has no idea what she did to him. She might freak out if she hears what happened to him though.

Then get the this is why Wards are here, to provide a "safe" environment for young parahumans to learn about their power so accidents like that do not happen again.

You don't seriously think I'll tell that when I haven't even started the next arc or shown him on screen yet, do you? :cool:
 
So...

Coil wants Taylor, so he's using Lisa to get her. Lisa has no choice but to out Taylor because she has a gun to her head, but she's also thinking of a way she can play Taylor against Coil.

Meanwhile, the person they're playing is an incarnate form of a COSMIC POWER.

Yes, this will end well.

By canon, that's basically what she was doing.

Lisa hit Brockton Bay with the idea of living off petty crimes until she could land on her feet, but she suddenly found herself dragged into an alley and given the choice (work or die, also I know all your secrets Sarah). From that point on, pretty much every chance she got she was working against Coil, be it through stealing assets, subverting staff (powered or not) or finding people (Hi Taylor!) to help her.

I'm guessing that the answer will be 'yes' :p

*edit* Damn, didn't even confirm if Coil has the same power!

Which is good, because it helps her pass Armsmaster's lie detector.
 
The other problem I can see for Coil is that he's messing with the Phoenix. The Phoenix is restricted by the human host; it's entirely likely that BB will go nova if he does something stupid like drug her.
 
Well, it still would take some time before Coil would try to kidnap Taylor at the street. Pre-cogs are bitch to surprise and not all powers are similar so there is no way to know yet if it is useful for him.

But yeah, eventually he fucks up and then it's barbecue time with side dish of brain melting.

What'd that Lisa do?

Most recently, she's falling for her shard's lies about what the PC plans to do in the medium and long run. It's making her super paranoid of us for basically no good IC reason, and she's even started rumormongering what she 'knows' to boot. OOC, the best reason seems to be "The players want to recruit her too much. Need to make things more difficult!"

They really need to station Yamada and several more psychologists/therapists for the Ward program, if the wards are getting away with things like Browbeat, I almost shudder to think of what the adults are doing.

Madison, yeah you did it for shits and giggles, you better hope that Taylor doesn't return the favor.:rofl:
And Lisa, maybe the Phoenix will look you right in the eye and let you try to read it.:ninja:

Actually I hate her because she is an ungrateful bitch, but that works too I guess.

"Armsmaster," she said, in deference to the fact that he was suited. "Now that you're here, I can inform you that Ms. Hess, after being thoroughly educated on her options, has accepted probationary membership into the Wards program, effective immediately."

One question, if SS wasn't in the Wards during her bullying campaign, then who was covering her ass? Taylor has complained on multiple occasions, and the main reason Blackwell turned a blind eye was because the acronym PRT was being thrown around.

And if Taylor finds out Browbeat participated in bullying her for months (and got slapped on the wrist), shits gonna hit the fan.

Oh, one thing I'm confused about. Is Madison Browbeat or is Browbeat Madison? :S

The bullying had been going on for over a year in canon, whereas Sophia was only recruited by the Protectorate a month or two before the Christmas holidays prior to Taylor triggering. That leaves quite a large period in canon where the Trio got away with their bullying without having any sort of protection from throwing around her status as a ward to avoid punishment. Seems like the teachers really didn't give a shit.

There -was- a Ward at Winslow. Though the staff didn't know who, because of Madison's special circumstances. They didn't know who, but they did know there was one. So, same net effect.

Madison turns into Browbeat. Or whoever she wants too, really. She uses the power a lot more than one might thing since she can do things like, say, subconsciously adjust herself so that she's more appealing toward whoever she's talking to. Possibly.
 
Hmmm. Madison isn't winning any points with Armsmaster right now with her behavior.

She was dark-skinned, with black hair. Middle-eastern, maybe? I wasn't sure. She was wearing a cream colored dress, belted at the waist, with a scarf wound around her neck loosely. When she had spoken, it was with a pleasant accent that I couldn't quite place

"Ah, yes!" I said quickly when I realized I was staring. "I was hoping I could buy something."

She shook her head slightly. "Parian can't take any more commissions at the moment, I'm afraid."

"Oh, no," I said. "I just need some fabric. I can work it myself easily enough." I looked around at the piles of fabric, resisting the urge to start feeling the different fabrics I could see around me to find out which would work best..

She didn't say anything for a moment as she looked at me, giving me the feeling she was expecting more out of me and no hint of what she was thinking as I shifted my feet. "Um, I have money?"

Aha, Taylor's speaking to Parian out of costume. Clever, Sabah.

She watched her eye the cards intently, before choosing spots to scratch off. Precognitive, or able to shift probabilities in her favor; knew where to scratch to achieve the results she wanted.

Lisa took her hands away from the keyboard, putting her face in her hands with a muttered profanity. She had to report this to him.
*SNIP*
"Sorry about this," she said quietly. "Maybe I'll be able to make it up to you somehow…"

Correct, Lisa, but incorrect at the same time. Precog is only one of the things she can do already. I guess we'll see how she'll eventually make this up to Taylor.

@chibipoe
Sophia will have residency at the Protectorate dormitories and direct oversight from a member there to ensure her behavior."

"Her mother didn't contest?" he asked. "And I must say, I don't know that this is the best course of action

There's some punctuation missing here I believe.

"Yes! I've captured another precog and all my plans are complete! Even better, she seems to not understand how to use her powers yet, so I can meld her to my whims!"
*drugs Taylor*
"I REGRET ALL OF THE THINGS!"

You're not putting enough explosives onto your buses. I'm not sure how you've managed to make this mistake.

That's a really weird circumstance.

PRT: "There's a Ward at your school. You are expected to give the Ward leeway and accommodate her unusual schedule."

Winslow: "Okay. Who is it?"

PRT: "Not telling! Ha ha ha! Now you have to be nice to everyone!"

Winslow: "Okay. Fine. In that case, we'll be nice to Sophia and take a shit on Taylor."

PRT: "But you don't know if Taylor is the Ward or not. How does that make any sense?"

Winslow: "How does not telling us then name of the person we're supposed to accommodate make any sense!?"
