the gay superhero alliance

Summary:

Phoebe: It stands for Gender and Sexuality Alliance

Max: oh i thought it was gay superhero alliance

Max: because rn that’s what it is

Arc: Technically we’re not superheroes, we’re knights

Jasper: Neither are me and Char, we just work with them

Max: okay whatever “technically” knights save people = superheroes and we’re all gay and have some connection to the super world so idc

Max: it’s the gay superhero alliance now

or: the dangerverse chatfic that no one asked for.

Notes:

so, let me be honest: this AU doesn't make a lot of sense. this is honestly just something that i thought would be really fun to do-i love reading chat fics and i needed a little break between my usual angsty/drama stuff. so this happened.

there isn't a lot of plot or explanation in this, but here's what you need to know, essentially: all i did was put them in one universe and make everyone live in swellview and attend the same school. aside from that, the only major change is that max and phoebe are aged down a bit to lessen the gap between them and the others to just a year. but their identities, their abilities, their powers, are all gonna stay the same. ik that considering knight squad takes place in a different dimension, time period, setting, etc, this doesn't make a lot of sense-but the idea here is that the knight squad gang (phoenix squad + sage and buttercup) got stuck in the hd/thundermans dimension via fanfic magic, and now are attending school and such like normal. might explain things later. but fuck making sense. i'm here to have a good time.

secret identities still exist in this universe, but everyone in the chat in the first chapter is already aware of each others' identity, even if they don't know each other all that well. because once again, i'm here to have a good time. i also threw the rest of the canon crossovers out the window, because a) i haven't seen danger and thunder and have no intention of doing so and b) knight and danger is less relevant ig.

final thing: sage, buttercup, ray, piper, and schwoz will definitely be in later chapters, and i'm still deciding on sir gareth, billy, and nora.

anyway, after that long-winded intro, let's get into it. enjoy!

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: 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

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!!

Notes:

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: and the year before that he dyed my entire suit pink and made my bubblegum cover me in glitter when i popped it

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.

Jasper: And as for me

Piper: i know what happened you told me on the way home

Arc: Hell yeah

Warwick: Henry u can stay but you’re on thin fucking ice

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?

Phoebe: I’m gonna have booths set up there! I’m doing a recyclable bottle-ring toss for The Green Teens and a prize raffle for Habitat for Humanity.

Phoebe: You guys better stop by.

Phoebe: Ooh we could do a booth for GSA too! Raise money for The Trevor Project and stuff. Thoughts?

Charlotte: That would be cool!

Arc: I have shit planning skills but Im down to help

Henry: what kind of booth?

Phoebe: Well I’m kind of partial to doing a dunking booth and dropping Max.

Max: yeah that’s not happening

Jasper: Lets do a kissing booth

Charlotte: sgdjdhd yeah sure

Jasper: It’s a good idea! 

Sage: For a Wattpad book maybe.

Jasper: I would pay good money for it

Charlotte: That sounds like you’re just horny.

Jasper: ...And what about it?

Ciara: we could do a mini crossbow range

Ciara: yknow like set up a booth with little targets and replace actual crossbow bolts with foam ones and have people take them out for prizes

Arc: You just want to win

Ciara: ,,,mayhaps

Ciara: but stilllll

Phoebe: Yeah it’s a good idea! I think it could be really cool.

Ciara: yeet!

Henry: why are there so many cans of red bull around him

Charlotte: Why are there so many power tools.

Phoebe: They were still PLUGGED IN when I came downstairs. 

Charlotte: What even HAPPENED

Phoebe: I have no idea. This morning I just woke up to texts he sent me at almost 5 in the morning saying that he finished “it” but i have no idea what that is. 

Phoebe: And honestly? I’m a little scared to find out.

Phoebe: By the way he’s been acting lately I’m pretty sure this is the most sleep he’s gotten all week. 

Phoebe: But should I wake him up?

Phoebe: If I don’t he’s gonna be late to school. But if I do there’s a very good chance that I will not survive the aftermath.

Ciara: let him r e s t

Henry: nah sleep is for the weak

Henry: wake him up

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.

Jasper: Okay thats it we’re doing a movie night

Max: you canNOT have a quality movie night without star wars

Jasper: Youre valid okay so mean girls, star wars, we need to watch at LEAST one barbie film, preferably rapunzel BUT i will also take princess and the pauper

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

Charlotte: You’re right and you should say it.

Henry: u guys are really doing twelve danicng princesses like this huh

Charlotte: Go back to sleep, Kid Idiot.

Henry: MAKE ME

Max: YOU GUYS REALLY LEFT OUT ISLAND PRINCESS. 

Jasper: Oh shit u right

Max: no other film will ever have what island princess had 

Max: that movie is superior in every single way. 

Phoebe: Barbie discourse aside, though, movie night sounds really fun!

Arc: Its halloween month so we’re obligated to watch The Nightmare Before Christmas at least one (1) time

Jasper: Fair enough

Jasper: Okay Saturday. Henrys house. 7 pm. Be there or be straight

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

Notes:

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.

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?

Max: more like you’d be my lab assistant

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

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

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.

Sage: false it’s the raw unadulterated power that comes with being queer

Ciara: this is true

Arc: The S in LGBTQ+ stands for Superheroes

Charlotte: Well I mean, we are the Gay Superhero Alliance

Prudence: Wait important question is Captain Man gay

Henry: captain man is bisexual

Henry: but also homophobic

Warwick: ...How does that work?

Henry: honestly? i have no idea.

Max: i set up a program that will spam bitch hartman’s private email with the trans danny phantom essay every hour

Jasper: How did you…?

Max: don’t ask questions

Henry: N E R D S 

Henry: jkjkjk congratssss

Arc: YES i knew you guys would win!!

Jasper: AW GOOD JOB IM SO PROUD :DD

Phoebe: Okay normally I’d be upset because they beat me but the anti-gravity field generator is maybe the coolest thing ever! And I got to play with it so I’m good.

Sage: you guys built an anti gravity field generator for the school science fair

Max: *in two weeks

Sage: what henry said, but without the jk

Sage: as in NERDS

Max: so i guess that means you’re not interested in the laser guided rocket launcher i built entirely out of motorcycle parts?

Phoebe: I’m sorry the WHAT

Sage: ...go on

Ciara: congrats guys that’s so awesome!! it makes sense that no one is any match for your combined brainpower

Warwick: FR you two are like the smartest people ever

Charlotte: Aww you guys are way too sweet shsgskdjd

Max: idk i think they have a point i mean i can’t speak for you but personally i’m kind of a genius

Charlotte: Hey listen

Charlotte: I just wanted to say I actually had a really good time with you this week

Charlotte: It was nice to, for once, work with someone who actually cared about what I had to say and I appreciate that.

Max: you don’t have to thank me for not being a dick lmao that’s a pretty low bar you’re setting for yourself

Max: but i had fun with you too

Max: it was nice to have an intellectual partner who isn’t a talking rabbit 

Max: and dare i say it i think we made a pretty good team

Charlotte: Careful Thunderboy, your feelings are showing. 

Charlotte: But you’re right. We should definitely build stuff together more often.

Max: or y’know. not build stuff 

Charlotte: Oh?

Max: on a totally unrelated note are you going to the fall festival with anyone

Charlotte: Not currently.

Max: would you like to be?

Charlotte: I guess that would depend on who was asking me.

Max: i know a friend who might be interested in taking you

Max: he’s really cool, don’t worry

Max: hilarious, kind of a genius

Max: great hair

Max: cute smile

Max: i hear he’s got a dark side

Charlotte: I might just be willing to give that guy a shot. 

Charlotte: Tell your friend to pick me up at 7 on Friday.

Max: will do ;)

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: Being passive aggressive

Jasper: Acting like we’re entitled to her

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: sjhfjlksjdjf how did you know????

Ciara: it’s not like a ThingTM though

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

Prudence: Oh my God

Ciara: so maybe i like him a little

Prudence: Girl….you’re whipped…

Ciara: okay fine!!!!!!!

Ciara: maybeeee i like him a lot

Prudence: NO DIP

Ciara: i havent liked someone like this in a really long time

Prudence: Awwwwww Ciaraaaa

Ciara: ugh what do i doooo

Prudence: I think you should tell him

Ciara: yeah RIGHT i can’t do that

Prudence: Why not?

Ciara: bc what if it ruins literally everything!! 

Prudence: It won’t

Ciara: you don’t KNOW that

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

Prudence: Okay okay

Prudence: That makes sense

Prudence: And obviously I’m not gonna pressure you into anything

Max: im gonna kill them

Arc: Hang tight we’re almost there

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 Hart ➜ jasper the friendly ghost

Friday, Oct. 25, 10:32 PM EST

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: It was a lot though

Henry: yeah jfc 

Henry: im w ray we’re coming to pick u guys up

Jasper: What abt the stakeout?

Henry: fuck the stakeout im not letting u bike home rn 

Jasper: Thanks Hen

Henry: ofc

Henry: how r u doing?

Jasper: Idk

Jasper: Just really shaken up ig 

Jasper: Tn was supposed to be fun and I thought like w the GSA booth we could do some really cool outreach and it would make me feel good

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

Max: im superrr looking forward to this lecture when we get back

Charlotte: That bad?

Max: we got it down to just a suspension but theyre still really pissed

Charlotte: It’s so unfair for them to be mad, you had every reason to do what you did

Charlotte: Mitch more than deserved it

Charlotte: I’m sorry

Max: right

Max: soo crazy how ur the only one who called me though

Phoebe: Don’t be like that

Phoebe: You know this kind of thing is hard for them

Max: what is

Max: the talking to me thing?

Max: yeah god forbid theyd be interested in listening to what i have to say

Phoebe: That’s not what I meant

Phoebe: Look, can you just come home so we can actually talk about it?

Max: what so they can yell at me more?

Max: no thank you!

Phoebe: You can’t just run away every time things get hard.

Max: fuck off phoebe

Max: seriously

Phoebe: I just don’t get why everything has to be a fight with you.

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.

Max: sure its not

Phoebe: I’m serious

Phoebe: They were freaked out and they reacted badly

Phoebe: But you’re right it wasn’t fair

Max: whatever

Henry Hart ➜ chartreuse

Saturday, Oct. 26, 12:41 AM EST

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

Charlotte: Cool

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): 800-604-5841

hope 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: 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!

Notes:

future chapters will probably be longer. i don't exactly have a cohesive plan so...if there's anything you want to see next leave a comment! thanks for reading!
