Phoebe: BILLY, NORA
Phoebe: WHY IS THERE A KITTEN IN OUR SPICE CUPBOARD?
Nora: omg there’s a KITTEN?
Phoebe: Sent an image
Nora: IDK WHY IT’S THERE BUT I DEFINITELY WANT TO PET IT
Phoebe: Oh so you guys didn’t bring it into the house?
Billy: Wasn’t us!
Phoebe: Well who else would it be?
Nora: chloe maybe?
Max: shit
Phoebe: MAX????
Phoebe: WHY WOULD YOU BRING A KITTEN INTO OUR HOUSE?
Phoebe: YOU’RE ALLERGIC
Max: i didn’t!
Max: he just happened to
Max: sneak into my jacket on the way home yesterday
Nora: you’ve said on multiple occasions that quote “it can’t rain cats and dogs because they’re hellspawn that come from deep down below”
Max: this is true
Max: however in my defense
Max: his name is archie and i love him
Phoebe: Well you can’t keep him.
Max: give me one reason why
Phoebe: First of all, the last time you were around cats for too long your eyes got so swollen that you couldn’t see anything.
Max: already taken care of dear sister
Max: i’m working on an allergy med that’s a lot stronger than benadryl but won’t immediately make me pass out
Max: plus if it works i can take it daily without any side effects
Phoebe: You already forget to take your ADHD medication all the time, how are you going to remember another one?
Max: i’ll make a device or an app or something to remind me
Phoebe: Okay, fine, well, you already have a pet.
Max: dr. colosso is not a pet he’s a nuisance
Max: he’s like the creepy uncle who sleeps in my bedroom and keeps trying to convince me to “return to my former glory days of evil”
Billy: He has a point their
Phoebe: *There
Phoebe: But anyway he’s not vaccinated or trained.
Max: shots are done, and i can train him no problem. billy and nora will help, right?
Nora: heck yeah!
Billy: I would be honored.
Phoebe: Mom and Dad will never let you keep him.
Max: list of other things mom and dad didn’t “let” me do:
Max: 1) launch a rocket from my room
Max: 2) build an underground tunnel that leads to splatburger
Nora: wait when was this
Max: irrelevant
Max: 3) use my duplication ray to make copies of my most expensive pairs of shoes and sell them online
Phoebe: I’m sorry what??
Max: don’t worry i was still evil then
Max: 4) install a secret weapons vault under the garage
Phoebe: OKAY WE GET IT
Phoebe: YOU’VE DONE A LOT OF CRAZY THINGS WITHOUT PERMISSION
Max: believe me hiding a cat in my room will be a piece of cake
Max: billy, nora, keep your mouths shut and i’ll let you pet him whenever you want
Billy: Done!
Nora: soooo worth it
Phoebe: Well, it’s going to take a lot more than that to convince me, Max.
Max: pick him up
Phoebe: Okay fine, but unlike you, I don’t let my emotions get the better of me, because I have willpower.
Phoebe: OH MY GOD HIS PAWS ARE SO SMALL
Phoebe: MAX HE LICKED ME
Phoebe: HE’S STILL LICKING ME AHGJSKDFHJSH WHAT DO I DO HE’S REALLY CUTE
Phoebe: Okay fine.
Phoebe: If Mom and Dad ask, I knew nothing about this.

Max: oh no
Max: only BEFORE you met me??
Max: damn i gotta up my game
Max: i have a reputation to uphold
Warwick: Wait no pls don’t
Max: >:)
Phoebe: If you beat up Warwick or steal his bike I’ll tell Mom and Dad about Archie.
Max: >:(
Notes:
the hensper is rising...
also i made a post about max hiding a kitten in his coat and this was the product. and the "i dig your fit" experience was inspired by something that happened at a restaurant irl, although it was to my hot friend not me :(. at least i got a fic out of it am i right?
also i am fully aware that splatburger is in hiddenville not swellview hOWEVER considering this entire au is a mess of jumbled continuities ive elected to ignore that
as always, thank you for reading!! feedback is very very appreciated, love you all

Notes:
this was a fun chapter to write. i just wanted to say, thank you thank you thank you for all the amazing reviews!!! things have been kind of messy in my life lately so i'm really sorry that i haven't replied to people individually but i've read them all and they make me so so happy. so thank you!! so much!!!!
i wanted to bring in a little more ks so here it is...specifically the tiara thief stuff, which is mostly friendship in this chapter but of course will be developed more later. but i definitely couldn't help throwing in some hensper and a *little* bit of henry/ciara--which isn't going to be one of the ships in this fic, fyi, it's just fun to play with.
anyray, i hope to update this soon, and thank you again for all the support!!

if you can't tell, i'm having a TON of fun making everyone roast each other. and also with the pickup lines.
people are slowly starting to call arc/ciara and hen/charlotte on their bullshit. which is super valid. more of that later. sorry for the slow update! i was hit with like. a huge wave of just "i want to sit in my room and do absolutely nothing, i have little to no motivation to get out of bed rn" which was annoying. but fuck that!!! we're back babies!!! (the next update will probably come quicker because i have a lot of ideas)
anyway, i hope you liked this installment! i thrive on comments, so let me know what you thought, and feel free to send me any of your requests! you can also contact me on tumblr (@max-thunderman)

Henry: glitter is REALLY hard to wash out of hair
Phoebe: I’m not going to lie, your boss sounds kind of like he’s insane.

Warwick: The rest of u are FAKE
Warwick: How does it feel to realize that every life choice youve made up until this moment is wrong?

Max: hey it wasn’t the whole week
Max: i didn’t go to bed at all on saturday
Charlotte: Jesus Christ I thought Henry was bad.
Max: science never sleeps
Charlotte: What were you working on anyway?
Max: i made an invisibility cloak
Charlotte: Wait what
Charlotte: Seriously?
Max: okay it’s not actually invisibility BUT i made nanotech fibers that project the imagery of your surroundings and worked them into a cloak so if you stay relatively still you can blend in almost completely with whatever’s around you
Charlotte: You’re being serious right now?
Max: yeah
Charlotte: That’s SO COOL WHAT THE HELL
Charlotte: Wait I want a video
Max: Sent a video.
Charlotte: That is so!!! Awesome!!!

Charlotte: What
Jasper: Barbie movies slap char dont even try and deny it
Charlotte: No what I’m concerned about is the fact that you ranked those before SWAN LAKE.
Charlotte: Swan Lake is the best Barbie film ever made; no, I will not be taking constructive criticism at this time.
Jasper: Okay no rapunzel is superior to all
Charlotte: You’re wrong. We’ll watch them all and then vote so you can see how wrong you are.
Phoebe: I think Mermaidia was my favorite when I was younger?
Jasper: The ONLY valid part of Mermaidia was the gay rivals-to-lovers relationship between Elina and Nori

Henry: u guys are really doing twelve danicng princesses like this huh
Charlotte: Go back to sleep, Kid Idiot.

Notes:
hello and welcome back!! i just want to say a quick thank you to everyone who's been leaving reviews on this and sending me messages and stuff, it really does mean so much. i know i took a long break from this because school has been really crazy, but now that we're quarantined i had some time and missed working on this. i hope you guys enjoyed this chapter!
also, how about that hd finale huh??? i absolutely loved the ending. i thought about incorporating elements from that into this fic but i think instead i'm just gonna stick with the verse its set in now and not jump that far ahead. however, that being said, i do have ideas about the last few episodes and all the feels that came with it, so stay tuned for other fics i might be writing...
thanks for reading! find me on tumblr @kiddangers

some notes before we start! i'm gonna dedicate this chapter to nikki (@henryhart on this site / @sunbeameyes on tumblr) really quick because she left me the most WONDERFUL comment on the last chapter of my fic that really made my entire life and i have been soft ever since. but thank you to everyone who's been commenting and leaving feedback!! it means so much and i'm really glad you guys are liking this so far, i'm having a TON of fun with it.
also, the pun "bitch milsky" from the very first line of this is courtesy of lizzie (@bitchmilsky)

Henry: which like. hes right but also. he called me the f slur like two days ago
Henry: so...does he Know? is he Aware?
Charlotte: Has Mitch ever had knowledge of anything in his entire life, ever?
Jasper: M*tch has fewer brain cells than I do which I think says a lot
Henry: ok ur right
Henry: anyway i propose we make a list of things that cishets arent allowed to touch
Henry: allies can stay but theyre on thin fucking ice
Henry: queen is at the top of the list obv
Jasper: Mamma Mia is for girls and gays ONLY
Phoebe: Facts!!
Sage: if any of you straights even LOOK at marina and the diamonds i will stomp you to death with my hooves
Ciara: may i add the entire percy jackson franchise
Ciara: i know a cwsb (Cis Straight White Boy) wrote it BUT if you think that a straight person could sit through five books of percy and annabeth quietly Yearning for each other while also trying to save the world then you are sadly mistaken
Max: yeah if you read percy jackson as a kid you’re bisexual now i don’t make the rules
Jasper: You just a”bi”de by them? :)))))
Max: can i remove him
Jasper: Nooo :((((
Max: also homophobes can keep the pjo movies we don’t claim them
Ciara: can we just say that all of greek mythology is exclusively for gay people?
Phoebe: Of course we can, there was literally an Ancient Greek poet named Sappho who was from the island Lesbos
Max: fellas…
Charlotte: And then there was Achilles and Patroclus...Apollo and Hyakinthos...Dionysus and Prosymnus...the list just doesn’t end.
Henry: damn imagine being educated

Phoebe: And then when we were leaving, the barista said “Enjoy your drink!”
Jasper: Oh no
Jasper: You didn’t
Max: his name was timothy and he WI N KE D AT ME
Phoebe: Max, in true Disaster Bi fashion, said “You too!” and then tried to do finger guns which made him promptly DROP HIS COFFEE and almost slip in it
Henry: oh my fucking god—
Prudence: Even Max isn’t immune to Gay Panic
Max: it’s a crippling affliction :(
Ciara:
did you at least get his number?
Max:
BOLD OF YOU TO ASSUME I’M EVER GOING TO FACE HIM AGAIN
Max: the starbucks across the street from the library is now off-limits i wouldn’t go within a ten foot radius of that place even if dark mayhem himself held a gun to my head and tried to force me
Phoebe: Why would Dark Mayhem need a gun? He has plasma blasts.
Max: it’s for the cinematography of it all phoebe
Max: this is why you never would’ve succeeded as a villain
Max: 40% of what they do comes from a need for drama and the other 60% is out of spite
Max: why would you use a plasma blast when you could have the poeticness of a villain pressing the barrel of a gun against the head of the man who betrayed him, reminding him that in the end, he is the one with all of the power. all the bullshit about family and doing the right thing doesn’t mean anything when it comes down to the reality of this world, which is that sometimes heroes lose and when that happens the traitors will be the first to fall because no matter how hard they try they can never really pull themselves away from the darkness. they condemned themselves to it the moment they made their choice.

Charlotte: If it involves breaking the law (or school rules) or engaging in other morally questionable things I’m going to have to tap out now.
Max: my existence is morally questionable
Max: so technically just by talking to me you’re doing something Wrong
Charlotte: Is that my cue to leave?
Max: wait wait wait it’s a serious proposition
Max: the science fair is coming up and i want to win and i’m guessing you also want to win
Charlotte: So you want to be partners?

Charlotte: Uh yeah, no thank you.
Max: i’m JOKING
Max: partners
Max: with our combined genius we’d have the whole thing in a bag
Max: not that i need you but we’re required to work with a partner and as much as i love oyster he can barely tie his shoes
Charlotte: Wow you’re such a wonderful friend!
Charlotte: But pairing up actually does sound like a good idea.
Charlotte:
You’re not gonna make me do all the work, right?
Max:
i’m gonna give you that one considering that if it were any other subject you’d be totally right
Max: but i live for science and i thrive on competition
Charlotte: Okay then! Partners it is.

Jasper: Okay guys who’s your favorite of the Skinny Brown-Haired White Boys it’s for science
Charlotte : Timothée Chalamet entirely because I had a massive crush on Lorie from Little Women growing up and he played him SO well
Phoebe: Harry Styles because YES I was a Directioner in middle school and NO I will not apologize for it
Phoebe: The stereotype of Directioners being cringey fangirls who scream all the time and only care about how cute the boys were was perpetuated by misogynists who like putting young girls down for enjoying things like YES some of them were annoying but that’s true for the fans of anything. These were kids who just wanted to use music as a way to express themselves and built friendships and a whole community through a shared interest and wanted to show their love and support for people who impacted them and society acted like that made them bad people that should be ashamed. They RIDICULED them for it and it was disgusting. The sexism of it all.
Charlotte: A little louder for the people in the back.
Arc: Um go off ma’am!!!!!
Arc: My fav is also Harry Styles he’s an Icon and he’s Hot
Ciara: tom holland and i’m not going to provide reasoning for it because i know fully well that i don’t need to.

Notes:
SO the tidbit about max and charlotte being science fair partners...i don't know how many of you have read my fic "don't be afraid of these thunderclouds", but that is basically set in this universe and picks up right about here. it's not necessary to understand the plot of this; it's just something i wanted to explore because the thunderbolt (max/charlotte) dynamic is VERY compelling to me. there's probably gonna be a bit more of them in the coming chapters, but the role they'll take is similar to the ciara/henry role, where they have potential and flirty moments, but ultimately won't be endgame. just letting all of you know.
also, speaking of that fic, i'm thinking i might start doing more tie-in fics like it that just...expand on things i discussed briefly in this fic or are set in the same crossover universe. i'm not totally set on anything right now, and it won't be for a while since i have exams coming up, BUT if you have any ideas of scenes from this fic that you'd like to see me write out, let me know! you can comment here or send me an ask on tumblr (@kiddangers).
thank you for reading!
Chapter 12
Notes:
so i should preface this by saying that i'm sorry it's been so long since i updated. i was planning to make pride month the month of this fic like!! c'mon!!! but then like, all this stuff about jace and sean being tr*mp supporters came out and i had to take a break from writing them because honestly? every time i picture sean's "all lives matter" ass face i want to punch him in it! but i took a few steps back and didn't want them to ruin something that i love, especially with a character as heavily queer-coded as jasper. so this chapter has plenty of him!! also, i'm not gonna spoil what happens but there is some drama and hen is kind of a jerk! but i don't think it's too ooc (maybe i'm wrong) but just know that i do intend to fix things. also, check the notes at the end, because i want to hear your thoughts on some things.

Jasper: She seemed really excited about going with Max and I think you’re ruining it
Henry: im ruining it??? hes a total dick!
Jasper: You don’t actually think that
Henry: he sold me and ray out to a bunch of villains the first time we met!
Jasper: Yeah but he’s clearly changed and up until today you didn’t really care about that
Jasper: I think maybe you’re jealous
Henry: im not jealous jasper
Jasper: Okay whatever you are she’s upset
Henry: so what do you want me to do about it
Jasper: Idk apologize??
Henry: for what exactly
Jasper: Being passive aggressive
Jasper: Acting like we’re entitled to her

Thursday, Oct. 24, 8:29 PM EST
Piper: okay so are you gonna tell me why my brother has been moping for the past few days
Piper: because he’s clearly upset but he refuses to talk to me
Jasper: Hes upset because Char’s mad at him
Piper: what did he do
Jasper: Well Char is going to the fall festival with this guy named Max in the grade above us
Piper: max like max thunderman
Piper: like the guy who keeps pulling pranks on principal bradford ?
Jasper: Yup that Max
Piper: damn that’s an unexpected pair
Piper: so he and char are like dating now? that explains why henry’s so upset
Piper: why is char mad
Jasper: Well idk if Id say theyre dating
Jasper: But well when Char told us Henry was kind of being a jerk
Jasper: He brought up all this stuff Max did when he was a super villain and sort of acted like Char was betraying us or smthn
Jasper: Idk he wasnt straight up mad just passive aggressive but Char was really excited about it and hes acting so jealous
Piper: ugh hen can be such an ass sometimes
Piper: i’ll try to talk to him
Piper: what about you?
Jasper: What about me
Piper: aren’t you jealous?
Jasper: Uhmm why would you say that
Piper: dude i know you like her too don’t even try
Jasper: Okay fine! I mean im not thrilled that she’s not going with us
Jasper: Kind of felt like it would be me and Hen and Char forever but
Jasper: Thats very stupidly naive
Jasper: And if shes happy w Max I’m not gonna ruin it for her
Jasper: Also I have plenty of experience with liking people who dont like me back so Im well trained
Piper: jasper,
Jasper: OoPS gotta go study for my history test!!!! Bye!!
Piper: dude wait

Notes:
okay so...this chapter had lots of thunderbolt and by now you guys are probably aware of how much i love their dynamic........and i'm enjoying writing them so much that i kind of want to keep that going? at the same time, though, i also love chensper and i've been building up to them a lot more. since i'm like, the most indecisive person on the planet, i kind of want to hear your thoughts...max/char or char/jasper/henry? if i go with thunderbolt i'll probably end up still doing hensper, and it's probably gonna be a longer arc. if i do chensper, i might bring allison back and rekindle something with her and max simply because i've been rewatching the thundermans and i love them. but i'm basically leaving it up to you guys so...let me know in the comments what you want the endgames to be! and also general thoughts are super appreciated.
Chapter 13
Notes:
an update? from me? over three years later?? ...it's more likely than you think.

Ciara: we’re just going as friends
Prudence: I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT
Prudence: And Warwick told me
Prudence: He said Arc sounded excited :DDDD
Ciara: he literally asked me to go as friends
Ciara: it’s only bc you and warwick both have plans at the festival otherwise we’d just be going as a squad
Prudence: Oh sureeee
Prudence: So you don’t like him?
Ciara: we’re just friends!
Prudence: That’s not what I aaaaasked
Prudence: Ci???
Prudence: Ciaraaaaaaaaaaa
Ciara: i don’t know, okay!!
Ciara: he’s one of my best friends and he makes me laugh a lot and he’s always had my back and he’s so easy to talk to and he has a really, really cute smile
Ciara: and we’ve been through so much together and i know i can trust him with anything
Ciara: and i guess being around him just makes me really happy

Ciara: if i tell him one way or another things aren’t ever gonna be the same for us
Ciara: i don’t know if i’m ready for that
Ciara: especially bc things are already soo complicated right now like we’re in another dimension!! if we can’t even figure out how to get home how are we gonna figure out a relationship

Notes:
hi hi hi everyone! wow it has been so long. three years is an insane amount of time to abandon a fic and fandom almost completely and then come crawling back to it, but hey, i was going through my old works, i'm on my annual rewatch of the thundermans, i missed these characters, and i still get comments on this today (which is so incredible btw. i love u guys). plus i needed something chill and fun to get me back into fic writing, so i figured...why the hell not? so...here's this. an extra long update ft. the long awaited fall festival, thunderbolt date and tiara thief not-date, TONS of pining from all sides, jasper & charlotte besties, and just a dash of drama/angst <3.
i hope that if anyone is still keeping up with this you enjoy this chapter, i had a lot of fun with it! not sure how consistent i'll be with going forward (you saw how that worked out last time) but i have a Lot of ideas circling the brain so hopefully at least some of them will come to fruition. anyway. as always i love you and thank you for reading, especially if you're still here after all this time.
Chapter 14: Chapter 14
Notes:
me? updating two fics in the span of a week? it's more likely than you think!!
hi guys :) so clearly i've been kind of dragged back into my shitty nick shows recently, kind of out of a combination of watching the thundermans movie, digging my tiara thief fic back out of my drafts, and needing a distraction from this week, which, woof. yeah. this chatfic has always kind of served as an easy way for me to write things down without needing to second-guess myself or overthink it, and i really needed an outlet after everything so i've come crawling back once more to give you guys this update.
i do want to warn you, this chapter is a little vent-y. there are some heavier topics (trigger warnings discussed in more detail below), especially pertaining to hate and homophobia/transphobia. nothing is graphic (it's still a chatfic), but it is discussed, so please please please take care of yourselves, especially in the wake of the election. while there are heavier themes, this chapter is also a lot about community and friendship, so like, not to get too cheesy, but just remember that in times like these it's especially important to look after each other. so this is your friendly reminder to drink some water, take a breath, phone a friend, get offline, etcetera. and if you're looking for resources or ways to feel less helpless, check the ending notes.
trigger warnings for this chapter: transphobia/homophonia, mentions of slurs (not the actual slurs, but it states they were used), hate crimes/hate speech, violence (nothing graphic), mentions of injury, and family/parental issues.
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Henry: dude
Jasper: SORRY
Jasper: Charlotte was getting into it with the Vice Principal
Henry: what???
Henry: why??
Jasper: Well
Jasper: Shes trying to get Max unexpelled I think
Henry: WHAT
Henry: can you explain something fully pls im freaking out over here
Jasper: SORRY okay
Jasper: Its a lot
Jasper: So basically
Jasper: Mitch and Jessie and some of their friends came up to the GSA booth
Jasper: And at first they were all like “we’re just saying hi” “we just want to play a game” or whatever
Jasper: But obviously they were being really weird and gross
Jasper: And they kept making like offhand comments about me and also you and just saying really shitty stuff in general and then Phoebe told them to leave but obviously they didn’t
Jasper: Ummm yeah so then I said something to them being like why can’t you just leave us alone and then Mitch deadnamed me AND called me the T-slur. So double whammy!
Henry: holy shit jasper
Henry: thats so fucked im so sorry
Jasper: Well yeah but by then we were texting the gc and the Phoenix Squad came over and started trying to get them to leave too
Jasper: And then more of Mitch’s friends came and started joining in and it got really crazy cause everyone was yelling and getting in each others’ faces and they started trashing our booth like literally throwing shit around
Jasper: Then Mitch said something to Prudy I didnt hear but was probably transphobic. And then Ciara shoved him back and then Mitch tried to punch Ciara BUT before he could Max came out of nowhere and fucking TACKLED him
Jasper: I’m pretty sure he broke Mitch’s nose
Jasper: And maybe also his hand?
Henry: holy shit????
Jasper: Yeah
Jasper: It was crazy
Henry: oh my god
Jasper: So then like people were fighting for a bit. Like a bunch of Mitch’s friends jumped on Max so then Phoebe and Ciara and Arc were trying to get them off
Jasper: And obv like we were SO winning
Jasper: But then a bunch of teachers came over and broke it up and a bunch of the guys ran except Mitch was literally on the ground crying
Jasper: But obv the teachers were PISSED and like kept asking who started it and Mitch started wailing abt how Max had attacked him
Jasper: And we were all trying to tell them what actually happened but fucking Mitch brought up his dad and his friends who were still there kept saying they hadnt done anything and everyone was like omg poor Mitch
Jasper: Ummmm yeah so basically then the Vice Principal came over and told Max that physical violence was unacceptable and would always result in expulsion etc etc
Jasper: So all of us were trying to fight it but they told us to go home or we’d be suspended so most of us left except for Char and Phoebe ofc
Jasper: I think the school called Max and Phoebes parents
Jasper: Im waiting in the parking lot for Char rn
Jasper: the Phoenix Squad is waiting with me so Im not alone
Henry: jesus christ
Henry: im so sorry i wasnt there
Henry: im glad you guys are okay
Jasper: Thanks
Jasper: Its okay there probably wasnt much u couldve done

Jasper: Thanks Hen
Henry: ofc

Jasper: Idk im just so pissed and bummed it turned out like this
Henry: yeah im so sorry man
Henry: ik how much you were looking forward to it
Henry: people are so shitty for literally no reason
Henry: you guys didnt deserve any of that
Jasper: Its okay
Jasper: Im so sick of Mitch I hope someone puts rat poison in his coffee one day
Henry: dont give me ideas
Henry: hows char?
Jasper: Shes ok I think
Jasper: I think just worried abt Max rn
Jasper: He didnt seem super hurt but Mitch and his friends got a few hits in and with them threatening to kick him out of school and stuff its a lot
Henry: jeez i bet
Jasper: U ready to admit you were wrong about him?
Henry: ….yeah
Henry: im glad he was there
Henry: u were right i shouldve apologized to char a long time ago

Max: yeah obviously you wouldnt
Max: bc ur phoebe and you can do nothing wrong
Phoebe: What’s that supposed to mean?
Max: you know exactly what i mean
Max: if it had been you then you wouldve been a hero
Max: they wouldnt have cared that you got suspended or even that you hurt someone bc they wouldve said you did the right thing
Max: but bc its me suddenly im violent and reckless and a screw up
Max: no matter what i do im always gonna be the villain to them
Phoebe: That’s not true.

Henry: hey
Henry: are u still up?
Charlotte: Yeah
Charlotte: Can’t really sleep haha
Henry: do u still wanna talk?
Henry: ik it was kind of hard to say everything with ray and jasper there
Charlotte: Sure, yeah
Charlotte: Go ahead
Henry: ok
Henry: i just wanted to say im really sorry i got so upset
Henry: ik you were excited and it sucked that i ruined a good thing for u
Henry: and that wasnt fair
Henry: and im sorry
Charlotte: I guess I just still don’t understand why
Charlotte: Like I know you’re not the biggest fan of Max, but it’s not like he’s still a supervillain
Charlotte: And you’ve dated way worse.
Henry: honestly?
Henry: i guess i felt kind of threatened
Henry: like hes super smart like you and everyone thinks hes so cool and he actually has superpowers unlike me
Henry: so
Henry: idk
Charlotte: You were jealous?
Henry: yeah
Henry: you mean a lot to me and i didnt like the idea of him replacing me
Charlotte: He’s not replacing you
Henry: sure seems like it
Charlotte: Henry
Charlotte: Do you know why we actually started hanging out?
Henry: bc of the science fair?
Charlotte: Yeah at first it was that, but when we were working together we talked a lot and I realized that like
Charlotte: I’ve been feeling really isolated lately. Especially with you and especially at work.
Charlotte: You and Ray have been treating me like shit for a long time and dismissing what I say and I know you think it’s funny but it’s not a good feeling
Charlotte: Max is the first person in a long time to make me feel heard and respected. And it’s been really nice.
Charlotte: Despite what you may think about him, he’s sweet and funny and smart and it’s been refreshing to have someone that gets me
Charlotte: So yeah, if I wanted to hang out with him instead of you that’s why. That doesn’t mean we’re not friends or that he’s replacing you, but sometimes I need to be around people who don’t treat me like a joke.
Henry: i didnt even realize
Henry: im sorry
Henry: why didnt you just talk to us?
Charlotte: I’ve tried
Charlotte: I’ve been trying
Charlotte: You guys haven’t been listening.
Henry: shit
Henry: im so sorry char
Henry: that was really shitty of me and im sorry i put you through that
Charlotte: I appreciate that.
Charlotte: I guess just
Charlotte: Remember that I’m your friend and not your secretary or your guy in the chair or whatever. I’m helping you because I care about you and I like doing good in Swellview, but also I’m not going to stick around somewhere that I’m not appreciated.
Henry: ur gonna quit?
Charlotte: No
Charlotte: I mean. I don’t know.
Charlotte: Maybe if you guys don’t get your shit together.
Henry: ok
Henry: you know we cant do this without you
Charlotte: I know. That’s why you should get your shit together.
Henry: noted
Henry: im sorry
Henry: youre right i havent been a good friend to you
Henry: you’ve done so much for me and ray and you deserve a lot better than how we’ve been treating you
Henry: you’re one of my best friends in the world and i shouldnt have taken that for granted
Henry: and ik i cant take it back but i promise i’m gonna do better
Charlotte: Okay
Charlotte: Thank you.
Charlotte: That wasn’t half bad.
Henry: thanks
Charlotte: I just don’t want to lose my best friend to his job, you know?
Charlotte: I love that you’re KD, but sometimes I miss when you were just Henry.
Charlotte: And I think Ray’s rubbing off on you too much.
Henry: maybe ur right
Henry: idk what im doing anymore
Henry: im thinking i might talk to ray abt taking a few weeks off
Charlotte: I think that’s a good idea.
Henry: and maybe we can hang out?
Charlotte: I’d like that
Henry: man
Henry: i really missed you
Charlotte: Missed you too
Henry: does that mean we’re okay?
Charlotte: As long as you mean it when you say things are going to be different, then yes.
Henry: i do
Henry: i swear

Saturday, Oct. 26, 1:03 PM EST
Prudence: Okay
Prudence: Im full of pancakes and no longer want to think about transphobia
Prudence: So Ciara you NEED to tell us how this date was
Ciara: THATS SUCH BLACKMAIL
Prudence: Idc :)
Sage: HA i knew it was a date
Buttercup: YOU AND ARC WENT ON A DATE!!!!!
Ciara: WE WENT AS FRIENDS
Sage: sureeeee
Sage: and buttercup and i were “just besties” for years, look how that turned out
Buttercup: <3
Ciara: okay sooo not the same thing
Prudence: Fineee whatever tell us how the NOT date was
Ciara: ugh okay okay
Ciara: so he came to mine to pick me up
Ciara: and basically as we were walking over there we just like talked
Ciara: we play truth or dare a lot but since we couldn’t really do dares we just ended up spilling a bunch of stuff
Buttercup: AWWWW SECRETSS
Ciara: yeah yeah
Ciara: and then when we got there we started going to the different booths to win stuffies and obv we got competitive and were trying to see who could win more
Ciara: and he wanted this shark at a shooting booth so i got it and gave it to him…
Prudence: OMG I KJEW IT
Ciara: and thennnn he was like well now we have to be even so he won me a dragon
Sage: this is so gross
Buttercup: I think you mean ADORABLE
Ciara: so basically we just started winning stuff for each other
Ciara: then we just chilled for a bit, he bought me a funnel cake :)
Ciara: then after that we came over to the pie eating contest/magic show w you and warwick prudy
Ciara: that’s kind of it
Prudence: What about when you guys went to “talk” on your own when we were all in the parking lot…
Ciara: nothing happened!
Ciara: well
Sage: WELL?
Prudence: I knew you were invested
Sage: shut up i don’t care
Ciara: literally nothing happened
Ciara: he just asked if i was okay and stuff and we talked about the fight and that’s all
Ciara: i mean. maybe he kinda leaned in like he was going to kiss me?? but i couldn’t tell for sure??
Prudence: WHAT
Ciara: because i kinda got nervous and turned it into a hug bc i didn’t know what to do
Prudence: WHATT
Sage: ciara u fucking idiot
Ciara: i’m SORRY
Ciara: it was a really crazy night and my head was all over the place i wasn’t thinking straight!!
Ciara: also i don’t know for SURE if he was going to kiss me he could’ve been going for a hug too
Prudence: Okay yeah that’s fair
Sage: except if he WAS going for a kiss he’s gonna think you totally friendzoned him now
Ciara: really?
Sage: no DUH
Ciara: shit
Prudence: Or he’ll just think that it wasn’t the time and you got nervous and wanted to reaffirm your friendship but that doesn’t mean anything about the way you feel or don’t feel about him!
Sage: yeah right
Sage: friendzoneeee
Ciara: shitttt
Ciara: what do i do??
Sage: you have to make a move now OBV
Buttercup: BIG ROMANTIC GESTURE!!!!!
Sage: the balls in ur court
Sage: if he thinks you want to be friends he’s gonna back off so if anything is gonna happen it’s gotta come from you
Ciara: no way
Ciara: what if he WAS just trying to hug and i look completely stupid
Sage: well you’ll get closure one way or another that’s for sure
Prudence: I hate to say it Ciara but Sage is right
Prudence: Sometimes love is about putting yourself on the line and taking a chance
Ciara: ughhhh i HATE this
Ciara: since when did you guys get all wise and shit?
Sage: uh since always
Sage: u were just too dumb to notice
Buttercup: Does that mean you’re going to make a move??
Ciara: maybe
Ciara: i need to think about it
Prudence: Whatever happens we’ve got your back
Sage: prudy has ur back. i’m getting popcorn :)
Notes:
no you were not getting out of this fic without more angst <3. but hopefully the thunderbolt, tiara thief, and the chenry reunion made up for it...? also, to clear things up in case anyone is confused about it: i definitely do think barb and hank would be full in support of max punching a transphobe if they knew the whole situation, HOWEVER, kind of the way i envisioned things in this chapter is that they didn't really stop to ask, and like max said, when they assumed the worst he didn't correct them. in my brain, they kind of just heard he had started a fight and was about to get expelled when the vice principal called, freaked out and jumped to anger, and didn't listen to him (or phoebe, who definitely tried to explain but was shut down). barb is trying to be more understanding, hank is pissed. maybe it's a little ooc, but hey, my canon now.
also guys...it's looking like thunderbolt might be the endgame. who knows, because i plan on just writing this fic indefinitely, but right now i am too attached to them. i'm sorry chensper lovers...
anyway. thank you guys again for continuing to read my works despite my sporadic updates and general MIA-ness. it means the world to me and i literally cannot express how much joy it brings. i am praying that the kick i'm on lasts long enough to get me through the next chapter soon, but we'll see!
for now, i just wanted to share some resources in case anyone else is feeling particularly overwhelmed and unsure of what to do:
here are links to mutual aid networks, specifically for trans and bipoc, as well as operation olive branch's spreadsheet of palestinian aid.
and a list of crisis lines (which don't call the police):
thrive lifeline (trans-led and operated): 313-662-8209
lgbt national help center: 888-843-4564
call blackline (centers bipoc/lgbt/black femme lens): 800-604-5841hope you all are taking care of yourselves. much love to you all, and i hope to be back soon <3
Chapter 15: Chapter 15
Notes:
hi folks!!! i'm updating!! and it hasn't even been a full year!!
sooo i'm currently laid up in the hospital rn and although i'm doing mostly fine i am so supremely bored and whenever i'm dealing w shit in my personal life i come crawling back to this fic like a poor substitute for therapy. but i've also been obsessively catching up on the thundermans undercover and doing my semi-annual rewatch which has dragged me right back down into my brainrot, so this was kind of perfect timing...
anyway. here's this update! a lot of this is tying up loose ends from the previous chapter/resolving some stuff and not resolving even more stuff. LOTS of ship moments especially with thunderbolt and tiara thief (which are quickly becoming my primary reasons for keeping up with this fic) and a little bit of drama, but on the whole wayyy chiller than the last update.
also i'm always looking for more things to do with this fic especially since i don't generally have a set plan for how things are gonna go, so if you have any ideas or requests at all pleaseee please drop me a comment or send me an ask over at @sunsetcurve on tumblr! i'm so happy to play around with different ideas or relationship dynamics and just try to things out :)
anyway, i hope you enjoy this! kudos and comments are always the best, and thank you again to everyone who's still keeping up with this fic after so long. love you all and hope to be back soon!
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Henry Hart ➜ The Bossman
Sunday, Oct. 27, 7:13 PM EST
Henry: hey ray
Henry: can we talk abt something?
Notes:
ohhh tiara thief. you are both so stupid. i keep making things happen between them and then wanting the slowburn to last longer so trust that these idiots are going to circle the drain for at least several more chapters until they finally get their shit together.
ik this chapter was kind of all over the place and also this fic is starting to transition from pure fluff and humor to like, mostly drama, but now that we've wrapped up some of the plots from the fall festival hopefully things will get chill again. don't ask me though, i'm not in charge here.
again, if you have any ideas or requests please let me know, and thanks again for reading!!! come find me on @sunsetcurve if you wanna chat!
