Hero AU
Zach is 17 and goes by the hero name "Bladed Officer"
his powers are the same as canon (will the name clue anyone in? send in your guesses)
Zach is an independent branch of government protection force chiefly dealing with supernatural threats
it's called Miranda's protection service, after his mother
it's existed for a little longer than 2 years
Freddie is 14 and is infamous under the name "Manic Alchemist"
he's causing havoc in order to make a name for himself
he's overshadowed by his parent's achievements
he's been a villain for about 2 years
after attempting to submit patents and gain fame the "right way" he failed to gain enough traction
so he sourced out Bella, bought some tech, and sent a chemical explosion to a vacant government building
his deed was in every conversation, on the tip of everyone's tongue for weeks
and he loved the attention
so he's been doing it ever since
Bella is 20 and goes by the name "Scarlet Maiden" when doing hero business
and "the Crimson Programmer" when doing more shady business
she has the most experience - 6 years of villain/illegal tech distribution
which means she is the most well known
seriously, she's a household name - her nanites are infamous and used as a bogeyman
"Got to sleep now, or crimson nanites will take your new toy"
she provides tech support for Zach
she's been working with him since the beginning
half the tech is her own invention
and the other half she has tinkered with, improving it in many ways
she wants to get out onto the field, since she has the capacity and the desire to help people
seriously, she has funky tech she's been itching to use
she also continues to help Freddie with tech
almost 3/4 of his stuff is her tech
she intends to cash that in at some point, especially if he starts shortchanging her
all her tech has a manual override button that only she can access remotely, in case anything is used too brutally
unfortunately, her moral greyness in this au is hyped up, so she will take any deal, and can be paid off to some extent to interfere less if she's given a small fortune or access to something obscure
