New au: Stopwatch au
superhero au because I love them a little to much
False was a hero. but she doesn't know that.
she was put into the program at a very young age. as soon as people figure out her powers (the ability to stop time) she was scoped up by the government and trained to be a hero. she was 6.
when she was 16 she debuted as the hero Stopwatch. she immediately became one of the biggest assets to the hero's side. after all, you can't stop someone who's literally coming at you from between time itself.
her powers came with a nasty side effect. the more she used them, the worse her memory got. at first she only forgot things from her past or that weren't that important (ie; her parents). but eventually it started to hinder her in battle. she forgot who she was fighting sometimes.
one villain noticed this and used it to his advantage. he created a battle that was long and drawn out, forcing her to use her power to much. the battle caused the death of another hero.
False was found afterwards. she had won the battle but was unconscious. when she woke up she had no memories and her power had all but vanished. the Hero's had no use for her any more, so they told everyone that Stopwatch was dead. she might as well be.
except... it's been 5 years since her "death" and False is still having weird dreams. and after going to the site of her "death" False is starting to have flashes of memories.
Hot Guy was a close ally to Stopwatch. in fact he's never stoped hunting her killer.
in training they were very close. its less about Hot Guy and Stopwatch and more abut Scar and False.
but hey life goes on, and now he has a sidekick Cute Guy. his life's going great. plus he's made new friends, and most of his old friends are still alive. its all fine.
Until the 5 year memorial. where he swears he sees False in the crowd...
Cute Guy, or Grian doesn't believe him originally. until he looks into it civilian side, and realizes that a lot about Stopwatches "Death" doesn't make a lot of sense. why was her funeral so rushed? why was her cause of "death" never declared? why is information about her "death" buried three confidentiality levels deep?
basically; False is starting to remember, whilst Grain and Scar are starting to think that all is not what it seems on the hero team.
also: Joe shows up with basically the same power set as Beetlejuice so I think that's worth mentioning.
