Theo might not deserve to get eaten alive yet. Burninating his mom so he triggers early might have changed his opinions, but canon version of him hated his dad appropriately.

Well that's most unfortunate then, no flesh eating locust swarm. I suppose Sarin will have to live with the disappointment.

Maybe, maybe, if Taylor had told her what her powers are, Sophia might not have hit the distress signal. It was probably the smart thing to do, though, faced with a furious Kaiser and an unknown Tinker.

Okay, okay, okay. There's a few ways this can go from here, but my hope, my wish, my secret dream, is:
"And you have no idea why Kaiser would kidnap you, Sophia?"
"Not a one, he must've thought killing a black Ward could rally the troops, maybe? Your guess is as good as mine! I'm just hoping my friend isn't too traumatized by all this. She doesn't know my secret ID, so-"
"Oh, Miss Hebert? We've already given her the standard civilian debrief and let her go with a number for a counselor if she needs someone to talk to.
...
Anyway, we're still looking for Sarin, but hopefully he won't be too frustrated that Kaiser died before he could get to him. We don't want this Stranger lashing out at the Protectorate for 'taking' his prize. For now, we're working to roll up the lingering Empire capes before they can meet similar, unfortunate ends."
friendship has sailed.
Later...
"Wait, you knew who he was, and you didn't kill him right off?"
"If I did that, the rest would scatter like roaches."
A cockroach scuttles across her face as she stares at Sophia, unblinking.
"Well, I suppose you would know best."
monologuing Imp-ing me! I figure it's more... the decade plus of arrogance of being one of the 'top dogs' in the Bay, combined with CEO 'there can't be consequences to my actions?' brain, and the misapprehension that since Sarin's been killing primarily through traps and tricks that if he's disarmed her person, she's no more dangerous than a regular civilian. And the Empire's had a lot of practice pickin' on unarmed civilians.
locked in here with you at your mercy. You're locked in here with me at mine!"
"No, goddamnit! I-"
"Miss, do not raise your voice at me. Why don't you go fill out the form again, and we'll see what we can do for you if you can be a little bit more civil. Next!"
"And you have no idea why Kaiser would kidnap you, Sophia?"

Maybe you didn't because if you got her some therapy she'd realize how toxic your worldview is? Still, that
No, Sophia, don't do it! Don't trigger Taylor's phones while driving trauma!
Dear God, you mad person, you. You've done it. You've made...
Pffft, Sophia took emotional damage from that. Get rekt, scrub.
Bwahaha! Good Lord, this entire sequence.

He starts

Oh Yeaaaaaaaah! Kool-Aid's here!
Those understaffed, overworked PRT docs will be working overtime to save this poor fella.

Perfect timing to get into this story, I can't imagine the Protectorate's perspective of "Oh shit Kaiser has Sarin, we need to get in there and get them both." into Sophia, a Ward, suddenly being there and getting the kill? I wasn't sure if she called a panic button with the phone or not but if she did they might be able to pass off/lie about some amount of the truth. Taylor was interrupted from using her full power (and I feel like Kaiser might've gotten her before he died) so who knows what'll happen next!

Man, this is a really awkward position to have the Protectorate find them in. Also, Sophia, I know killing Nazis is important but maybe you shouldn't be getting the killshot right in front of a Protectorate hero when you're on probation. Like, don't get me wrong, if anyone is willing to cover for you among them I'd say Assault has one of the best chances, but c'mon. That's a kill that is characteristically and identifiably done by your power.
Have absolutely no clue how Taylor is going to react to any of this. She was moments from getting to eat Kaiser (fucking Kaiser!) with her bugs and I bet that would've been so fucking satisfying before the government sponsored Kool-Aid man pops in and Sophia gets the killsteal. Rough day, girl.

I might be remembering wrong, but didn't Max send him to Germany for a few years so the Guzzleshaft could try to torture him into triggering? That would explain the accent and I can't think of any other kid who would hop on the sinking ship without an asshole dad forcing them into it.

I don't recall anything being mentioned about that - and Theo is nowhere near traumatized enough in canon for that to make sense IMO. Especially as it would require Kaiser to subordinate himself to Gesselschaft to an extent that doesn't fit with his general behaviour.
Literally anyone that Gesselschaft decided to send from their cape-torture pipeline? They're not limited to local resources, and they don't want the E88 to fall.
Just caught up. This is the 2nd worm anti-fascist fic I've found. Compared to the last one, this appears to be more "propaganda of the deed" type stuff which I guess powers would make possible though I'd still be concerned about the non-powered Nazis as they are most likely still there even if the capes get taken down and there hasn't yet been any antifascist force that has been organized to counter them.

If I remember correctly, when killing Purity, Taylor mentioned waiting for the babysitter for Asther to appear (probably Theo). So she is aware of them and did not attack them.
They would end being gotten by social services and send away. I doubt Theo would separate from Asther willingly, specially if It allowed him to escape Max.
I'm sure this thinker is one of the German capes.

The Tinker Auxiliary is a German immigrant, a minor, and an OC I made for Ring-Maker I repurposed here for the sole purpose of giving Kaiser even the ghost of a chance to ambush Taylor.

Well, Crusader was already dead, and AlaCasper the unfriendly (white as a bedsheet)ghost was in lockup by that point... so Kaiser would have to be some braindead zombie to think he had a prayer of a shot at things going off without a hitch. And then he got ganked by Sophia. This whole ordeal must've been a Nightmare on Elm Street for him. That's where he was holding them, right? Elm Street. Without knowing the details of Sarin's powers they're was always going to be something to Overlook. Hotel is where I would've booked it to. I'd have stayed there forever and ever, just gotten the hell out of Brockton Bay and not looked back.
