Sub-AU of School AU

OK SO THIS ISN’T HIAEN’S AMAZING HIGH SCHOOL AU (i waited a while so everyone knows it’s not the same thing) but we’ll just use that as the general chassis of this au because hiaen’s is a Really Really Good AU and how i came up w this much less good au lol

so remember earlier when i was all like “hey what if they get superpowers and now have to hide them from people”? Yes so this is that. (i’ve had this chilling in a doc since then what about it). EXCEPT it’s not just the marked that get the powers bc we want to put some other faves in here. by other faves i do of course mean jessamine kaldwin bc like- who else? theres no emily yet so SOMEONE has to fill in. and BILLIE!! tho ig she’s technically marked… anyways billie is still WAY younger (she’s like 13 and the others are 16-17) and daud still babysits her from time to time and he’s actually babysitting her when they Find The Thing.

this is basically a power rangers (2017) au (aka breakfast club with superpowers au) lol but no powersuits and weird alien shit YET there is some villain they’re Fated To Stop or whatever. maybe. that or the outsider is messing around.

SO through fate, destiny, tyche, a horse-- whatever you call it, they all find themselves at this Place which is like the quarry thing in doto and one of them pokes the thing and boom all 6 are in the Void. billie came here bc it’s near her house, daud came her bc he was running after billie, jess was on a jog or something (lol), corvo came out here to parkour and be alone & cool, and Del was there bc she actually had heard shit about odd occult things and wanted to check it out.

yada yada they’re teleported TO THE VOID and some god shows up and they all get marked and boom. superpowers. they get separated and showed stuff about their childhood traumas as they test their powers :joy: idk it’s the void same thing. its got 2 show u ur traumas

then boom they all wake up the next morning in their beds thinking haha that was a wack dream and then all looking at their hands like WAh shit oh fuck and then they all try to find each other at school (lol i love the idea of 4 16-17yos/ year 12s trying to find billie in her year 8 classes).

they all have to try to hide their marks. corvo and delilah know what they are and that the abbey will hunt them if they see the marks from the start (corvo bc religious mother, delilah bc interested in the occult).

oh and for angst superhero reasons beatrici went COMPLETELY missing -- maybe that and daud’s kidnapping has something to with the Big Bad (except daud escaped) but idk what...

and to start with, legit none of them know corvo bc he’s just the Quiet Kid whom none of them have ever spoken to lol (billie and daud of course know each other, and delilah and jess know each other).

shindaery peak is a mountain with an abandoned quarry and mineral spring, plus a waterfall. kingsparrow lighthouse is on an island off the coast of the city im setting this in, think like. Every new england lighthouse.

wouldn't the city be dunwall but like. different and modern?

also at first, most of the 5 are like "no thanks, i'm a cool loner and I don't want to hang out with you guys" but Jess is like "ok we all need to stick together to work out our abilities". and billie is like "girl help i am literally 13. puberty is bad enough and now i have to go through getting superpowers?"....not that she's too upset about getting powers that make it easier to be a little shit.

daud is probably super protective of her and IS willing to learn more about this to help her, and also is gonna be like "billie stop no don't do [x chaotic thing]!!".

what if billie and daud are in the same orphanage/ all adopted by the same person? saves us having to work out billie parent stuff or smthn idk. and gives them more of a sibling relationship lol (tho maybe BEFORE all this they didn't get on well).
