Life, Death, and Time - A Books Of Beginning Collection

Superhero AU

For those of you who don't know, an AU is an alternate universe with the canon characters of a series, in this case TBOB. I have come up with several of these little ideas, and I'm excited to share them with you. Today's AU: Superheroes.

A/N: This is NOT a story/oneshot. These are ideas for what could happen or what I think would happen in this sort of alternate universe.

- The Wibberly siblings parents, two experts in superpowers and the go between for many heroes of the world, are snatched from their home one night by the disciples of villains, leaving their three young children alone.

- Years later, Kate, Michael, and Emma get into an accident and gain superpowers. Heroes and friends of their parents come to find them and begin training them in how to use these powers and fight crime.

-  Michael has healing powers that manifest in the form of flames. 

- Emma can speak to the dead and summon ghosts  to her aid. Her powers manifest as shadows.

- Kate can freeze time. Kate's powers manifest like green and gold light.

- Gabriel is a hero who has been around for years. He has the power of super strength and is an expert with many different weapons. He's the one training the Wibberly siblings and he becomes a parental figure to them while their parents are gone.

- Dr. Pym is not a superhero but is an expert on powers and the heroes of history. He taught Richard and Clare. Now he has welcomed their children into his home, their secret lair. He is the one with all of the gadgets and contacts.

- Other heroes include  Robbie McLaur, who leads a tough group of heroes called the dwarves. 

- Hugo Algernon used to be a superhero but lost his powers in a fight with the powerful and violent villain Rourke.

- Rourke's power is causing extreme pain. He learned torture techniques  to enhance this power.

- Wilamena comes from a family of superheroes, and has taken up the family legacy. But she struggles with her shapeshifting ability after being imprisoned in dragon form by a mad scientist for two years.

- Michael rescued her and in return, she saved his life when Rourke attacked. They become close and Wilamena joins the Wibberlys super team.

- The Countess has a siren like power and uses it to entrance people into becoming hostages or commuting horrible acts for her. She has gotten extremely wealthy in this way. However the Wibberly siblings throw her in jail after one battle and she vows revenge.

- A huge crime spree is sweeping across the city and it falls to Michael and Emma to join Gabriel and Wilamena to protect the people.

- Kate, meanwhile, is trying to find their parents and the master villain behind this all.

- it's actually several different people masquerading behind the name 'The Dire Magnus'.

- The most recent recruit to this organization is a reluctant young their named Rafe. He doesn't want to do this but became a risk to his fellow thieves after his destruction powers were awakened. He left for their own safety and had nowhere else to go.

- When Kate is captured on her search for answers he helps her escape. She tries to convince him to come with her but he's afraid if he does his powers will end up hurting her.

- But when the big final battle happens he betrays the Dire Magnus and joins Kate's side. 

- Kate, Emma, Michael, Rafe, and Wilamena becomes the next superhero team in training, with Gabriel and Dr. Pym as their trainers/adults in charge. Their first mission is to locate the secret hideout where Richard and Clare are being held and break them free.

- Wilamena decides to make them all costumes. This goes terrible. The only one besides her willing to wear one is Michael because he loves her.

- They all learn to control their powers and fight crime as a team.

A/N: No clue what this AU idea is but I decided to share it with you anyways.
