Hypothetical AU Meme. Because it's shiny. And I am bored

[bootson]

The Hypothetical AU Meme: Take any one of the fandoms you know I write AND give me a type of AU (space opera AU, pirate AU, superhero AU, etc) or another time period (Ancient Rome, Regency England, etc). I will then explain the gist of the story I would write for that AU.


I know I only really write bandom now, or at least that's all I've posted recently. So we'll go with anything you know I like. Which opens it up to bandom, White Collar, Doctor Who, Torchwood, Star Trek XI RPF, Star Trek, and anything else you can think of that I like since I can never think of everything when I'm trying to. Be as specific or vague (ie list pairings if you want) as you want to. Just entertain me! ;)

Harry Potter - Superhero AU

Harry Potter, Superheroes AU

Harry's just a normal kid, with normal kids issues. You know, like being raised by people who keep trying to sell him to the government for science. It's not his fault he's evolved into a freak. When he finally can't take anymore, he takes his chameleon abilities and runs.

He's doing pretty good. It's not like he likes living on the streets and stealing and things, but you have to do what you have to do and no one knows it's him anyway since he can seamlessly blend into anywhere. Plus, he always pays it forward by helping stop minor crimes happening around the city. No one knows he's doing it because no one knows he exists, but that's fine. He doesn't want the notoriety.

Then he runs into someone who knows he's there because he "think to loudly" and it's all downhill from there. Hermione figures out where he is and what he's doing and keeps showing up to "help," which she admittedly does pretty well but they almost get arrested because it's harder to keep two people from getting caught than one who basically disappears into the background.

Only then they meet what turns out to be a whole community of the evolved and are taken in by the Weasleys after they manage to help their youngest son when his confusion powers fail him in the middle of a crowded street of the un-evolved. Harry's shocked when Ron tells him there are a lot like them and most have mind powers... apparently, Harry's the first with anything physical and there has been a lot of talk about him. Which just figures.

There's a movement, though, geared at working those with powers into the open and putting them above the normal people who haven't caught up to them yet. They want Harry on their side but people who Harry's parents knew long ago are coming out to stop the take over while the other side is staging strategic attacks. Things are a hot mess and somehow Harry and the only people he cares about in the world are on the run and doing things they're really not prepared for.


IDEK, dude. This is weird....I'm sorry if it sucks. I had no idea how to turn HP into superheroes lol.
