There's No Way My New Little Sister Can Be The Simurgh! [Worm AU]

Reader mode
So, Ziz can hack nearby powers, ostensibly just tinkers (but who knows if there's even a limit). Here we see Taylor, collecting energy from a striker/shaker.
 
Maybe it's me, but I have this odd image in my head that Ziz's 5 minutes with Blackwell went like Old Spice Guy.

"Hello Blackwell. Look in your mirror, now back to me, now back to your mirror, now back to me. Sadly, you're not me, but if you stopped being such a cunt and kept your mouth shut, maybe I won't get angry. Look down, back up, where are you? You're in the school that I could crush into a pebble if I wanted. What's in your hand? I have it. That's the phone you were going to call the PRT with.

Telekinetic crush.

Look again, your phone is now gravel. Anything is possible when you're the little Zizter and not a squishy mortal. I'm in your chair. Do do doot, doot doot, do do, doot."
 
Yes, yes, yes, yes, ALL OF MY YEEEEESSSSSSSSS!

This. This would be interesting and absolutely awesome. If you do this I shall kiss the ground you walk on and start a cult around you and your writing.

If you don't do it well.....I'll still do those things except without the enthusiasm.
 
I think it noteworthy that "scales" both accurately describes what feather-like "tattoos" would look like on human skin, and the coverings of bird talons. She need not be going reptilian for that description.

I am curious if she's got a Trump power-thief/copy ability or if she's doing something else with Shadow Stalker's power. Imagine if she could, for instance, control its activation. Or use that reservoir to alter the shard-bearer's future, emotions, will, or choices. You know, the way the Simurgh is believed to "sing" people into ziz-bombs.
 
I'm just imagining Sera doing some minor transformation to show who she was or something. But probably more like she blackmailed her with information or did something like what Lisa can do but worse.

Wonder if Taylor is limited to just accessing/using/manipulating other breaker powers or just powers in general since they'd all fall under administration. Be funny if her power was like that fic where Taylor could edit other people's power and posted "Patch Notes" on PHO.

That'd be a nightmare EB power, just turning powers on and off, changing their effects. Oh, if she was going to be the demon to Seras angel she could hand out many Faustian bargains about improving powers.

So what would Taylor's nome de geurre be if she is going for the dragon archetype? Taimat,Níðhöggr, Zomak, or Typhon perhaps?

In any case the new scaly one thinks shadow stalker tastes delicious.

Fafnir, Ddraig Goch, Sarkany (a dragon in human form, fittingly enough), Tarasque, Kur, Ouroboros, Orochi, Ryujin (although that fits Leviathan more due to being a sea god), or Apophis.
Probably the best ones are Azazel, who appears as a dragon in the Apocalypse of Abraham and fits with the theming of the Endbringer names (Hebrew/Jewish mythology), or Fafnir, due to whole "person who transformed into a dragon permanently" thing.

    So... Uh... Loosely running with this idea.

    Virtue and Vice

    Charles Smitton considered himself an honorable man and a pious one at that. He had done his stint in the military and often went to church during lunch these days. Running a corner drugstore was becoming a bigger job for the 70 year old these days. The man in question himself was currently crouched behind his counter, loosely holding his pistol in his good hand and quietly murmuring the Lord's prayer under his breath. The street he lived and worked on was one that belonged to the ABB, or at least used to. It seemed the Merchants had decided to make a move on new territory following the abrupt change in the hero and villain roster over the last few weeks. Said merchants were currently trying to bash down his shutter door.

    Okay Charlie, the man thought. Its not too bad, you've lived a long life. Your kids and grandkids are safe in Boston and Matilda has gone on ahead. If it happens tonight, it happens. Charles had never quite made his peace with death.

    "Open the door, Old Man" A druggie sneered from the buckling door. Charles bit his lip. The sound of crashing in the distance told him, that the Merchants were far more interested in looting the local shops than moving in. He hoped Janice, the nice young woman who ran the video store and Peter who ran a little café up the block, were okay. There was a screech and horrible crash as the shutter finally gave up the ghost. Charles turned and stood, he would die tonight, protecting what was his and taking any bastard he could down with him. Just like old times, He thought wryly.

    Bang

    Charles slumped back, he hadn't even gotten to fire a shot. Charles was no stranger to being shot but in his old age the gutt wound was a little too much. There was suddenly flash from outside as well as several screams of pain. A cry of "Cape" was heard, and Charles felt a little hope. It could be a hero here to save the day. Villains also fight villains, Charles reminded himself. He shifted a little and tried to sit up, managing to see through his glass counter even as his movements sent jarring pain. Another flash occurred as what looked to be chain lightning leapt between the merchants that had entered his store. They all went down in a group. A figure in a hoodie entered, the figure's body was covered in strange armored plating and the mask of a smiling woman adorned her face under the hood. They then moved closer, looking familiar to Charles as they crouched.

    "Crap," The young woman said. "Sir, Can you hear me?" Charles nodded. "I will get you medical attention immediately" The woman then stood and shouted at the doorway. "Virtue, get in here! We've got wounded!"

    That's right, Charles thought to himself as his vision swam. I recognise them now. Vice, the angelic themed tinker and her partner Virtue, who was a demonically themed Brute of all things. The two indie heroes had been in the news recently due to their work with new wave. Even before that Vice had been controversial due to her theme which had included a flight pack with 6 bird-like wings.

    There as a crunching noise and Charles did his best to focus on the devil mask that came into view and another voice spoke up.

    "Sir, You're going to be alright" Charles, felt someone grip his hand and his pain subside some. Thank God, was all he could think as he fell unconscious.

    Note: This makes the assumption that both Taylor's theoretical Trump rating and Sera's Zizness is kept under wraps by the duo.

    Alright, I fixed the description of how it's working so that it's less ambiguous language about what's actually happening and clearer that it's not "taking" or creating a pool that could be emptied.

    Oh ok, so it's more forming and strengthening connections from the proximity of other capes I suppose. QA must really be enjoying it's new job then.
     
    Yay, best Zizter is back :lol

    What did Blackwell learn today? Don't try to come between an endbringer and her sister. It's not good for your health.

    And hello there Sophia, what a nice power you have there. Wouldn't be a shame if something happened to it? :evil::whistle:

    Let's just hope that she isn't like me when I played that game or Winslow's population will drop fast.

    The thing the PRT would be most interested in?

    Taylor can detect Parahumans and even get a look at what their powers are

    That's...big
