Persephone captain marvel au. Hear me out.

Associated with duality, reincarnation, resurrection, childhood innocence (and it getting ripped away by adults), and her 'counterpart' Kore, which is her in her returning aspect of spring, youthfulness, new life... Come on. Is that not the closest thing to Billy you've ever seen in ancient Greece? Where he gets his powers?

It all starts with Teth Adam, and his devastation at the death of his son. He finds the old paths, breaks them open, and storms down into the underworld to demand him back. His is not a new story.

But where Persephone might ordinarily be inclined to ease her husband's scorn, give the troubled mourner a chance, she is speaking to the champion of magic, the world's mightiest mortal. The chance of success is too high. The challenge would not be enough. The death was too high profile and would risk too many attempting to follow in his footsteps. The man is too unstable, too powerful, too close to the heart of magic for it to be safe - for any of him - to grant his wish and risk his false hope.

They deny him.

Enraged, implacable, Teth Adam lashes out. The battle is long and drawn out, neither side tiring even as both weaken, but Persephone, in either form, is not one of war, and she is felled as her curses shatter, her furies tossed aside like dolls. The sound of Hades' scream as Adam's surprise leaves him open flattens the rubble of their throne room.

The wounded champion escapes, hounded by cerberus and skeletons instead of his son's shade, as her husband crashes to his knees beside her. She has not a mortal soul, and thus will be going where even Death cannot reach.

But Adam killed the goddess of reincarnation, and Billy has odd dreams. He's pretty sure he needs to ease up on the stress. He's restless in winter and distracted in summer, he can sleep outside in howling storms as long as he's tucked snug in the boughs of a tree, he's had the luck of never tasting a rotten fruit. Sometimes it feels like there's ghosts in his hideouts and the kids at school try and bribe him to curse their enemies.

When he chosen to be Captain Marvel the wizard chokes on his own speech when the smoke clears. They stare at each other.

"Well," says Persephone, "that was unexpected. Hullo."

"Hello," the wizard replies, "I was under the impression..."

"I don't think the laws of interference quite apply until I'm immortal again," he says.

The wizard's relief is palpable. It's understandable, he looks ready to keel over from old age. "Can I ask...?" he gestures at the new body. It takes a second to understand.

"Oh, I'm a boy now. For a while."

And that's that.

Until green lantern is killed in battle.

#Billy as Kore - spring youth maiden flowers #And the captain as persephone - death curses ghosts reincarnation. ✨royalty✨#I especially like that it works with whatever interpretation of cap/Billy you have!#Aspects of the same person. Billy having a limited recollection of his past life and minimal powers compared to cap's fully grown self #Also the idea of big burly sunshine strength cap being in truth the Soul of a young innocent maiden kidnapped from her family would #Infuriate in universe alpha males. Brings me life.#Billy/Kore: innocent cinnamon roll too good for this world too pure #Cap/persephone: gaslight gatekeep girlboss #Cap would keep his death powers under wraps and NEVER curse. Unless it's Adam or darksied or something. Then a simple 'gtfo' works #Not that he ever keeps it simple. Everyone on comms has their ears SCALDED. They're all in shock. Cap stops just short of another 10 plague #Cap (looking at gls body): aw my husband's gonna be so mad at me *rolls up sleeves*#Gender queer Billy vibes ftw #I'd say bigender or gender fluid. Bigender needs more rep.#Wonder woman is shooketh but glad. Her uncle has Not been a happy bunny.#Idk just isn't it cool???#shazam #billy batson #captain marvel #dc captain marvel #dc comics #justice league #wizard shazam #rock of eternity #greek myth au #Kinda #persephone #Kore #black adam #<< man boutta get a whooping from his precious victim who got the ultimate power up

Worlds beyond imagining - Chaos Walking David Prentiss Fanfic (Part 1)

!NOTE!: ABO universe/themes, inspiration from CHAOS WALKING film, David Prentiss x OC (Theo) male character x potentially others

~~~

“Scout ship A, prepare to enter New World’s atmosphere in T minus 37 seconds.”

Theo scrunched his nose as an itch started to appear to the end of it, but his hands were cuffed and locked behind him, and a lower-face muzzle prevented him from uttering a word of complaint. His red orbs flickered lazily about the cabin and its crew, all performing the habitual procedures he’d seen countless times before. His seating was opposite the entrance door, made only for people like him. Most of the crew ignored his presence, more excited to explore this famed paradise than pay attention to the likes of a sub-human, even if more many of them- it was their first encounter with the likes of a sub-human.

“Copy that, Mother Bird.” The captain drawled, sending a quick thumbs up and signal to the crew which had them eagerly using the Zero G to float towards their assigned seats and buckle up hastily.

Theo supposed it was lucky that he was the one assigned to visit this planet, instead of one of his siblings. Who instead were more often used for exploration of worlds holding much more hostile native life. He’d seen a few of those types of worlds before, and such trips were usually only made for resource gathering. So the trips were short and sweet, unlike this one… Theo slumped as much as he could within the confines of his restraints. He’d have preferred some Gamma went instead of him, he’d rather be with his pack. But if the mission was successful, at least there would be some time to see some of them again- those assigned to settlement protection anyway.

“Hey, you want me to scratch that for you?”

Theo flinched, not expecting to have someone so suddenly in front of him, nor with their arm outstretched and pointing to his nose. It was a woman, and she looked young. This was likely her first scouting mission, so she did not know the protocol regarding individuals like himself. Still, everyone else seemed to more excited to chat amongst each other, than pay attention to the newbie. He couldn’t respond to her anyway, nor stop her either.

She didn’t scratch where he needed it, but her gesture of kindness wasn’t unappreciated. Though she would surely think differently of him once he was tasked with his objective on ground.

“You know, I’ve never met a sub-human before. You’re not what I imagined.” She rambled, chuckling as Theo rolled his eyes. Of course, he’d already gathered she’d never met someone like him. “Is it that obvious?” She teased.

“I’m Viola.” She introduced with a smile. “It’s nice to meet you, Theo.”

“Viola! Get to your seat!” The captain ordered, throwing a disturbed expression Theo’s way.

Viola looks startled, responding with some apologies before quickly buckling into the seat to Theo’s right.

The captain watches as Viola buckles herself in before returning to his duties murmuring off to the Mother Ship’s control center.

“Still no contact from the surface.” He relays, “We’ll let you know what we find.”

Double checking all his crew were secure and ready, the captain locks in the reinforced chair bars to everyone’s person and prepares the scouting ship for entry through the thick atmosphere of the planet.

“Ladies and gentlemen, the temperature at point of entry will be a balmy 3000 degrees.” The captain jokes, “Please make sure your seat backs and tray tables are in their full upright position. Buckle up.”

“Think the settlers are still alive down there?” One of the crew voices curiously, eyeing the view out of the ships porthole.

“If they are, they’re gonna be happy to see us.” Another responds with a lazy shrug.

“What will they think of the sub-human?”

“Who knows, who cares.”

“They were expecting the Second Wave years ago.”

The craft starts to shake quite violently as the New World’s planet resists the scouting shuttles entry, Theo intakes a bored breath before closing his eyes as he prepares to wait out the rough entry. However, a wave of… something passing through the ship causes his eyes to snap open in alarm. Before narrowing as he observes the quick chaos that soon spreads around the ship.

‘What did we just fly through?’ Theo wonders before realizing in alarm that he could hear his thought aloud.

“Don’t freak out, don’t freak out.” A male passenger pleads to himself, only, those were his thought- now broadcasted to everyone. “Don’t freak out- We’re gonna die. We’re gonna die!”

“What did you say?” Viola asks him, double-checking if she’d heard right.

The man opens his squeezed shut eyes in confusion, “I didn’t say anything.”

“Fire!” Someone screams in alarm, before the entire ship tilts off course and throws loose items everywhere.

Theo glances everywhere for a chance at escape, ‘Let me out! I need to get out-‘

“Hey, it’ll be okay.” Viola hurried assures him. “I’ll get the captain.” She states as she unbuckles herself.

Parts of the shuttle tear open below them and the rush of oxygen makes Theo’s mind light-headed, and before he knew things simply switch off and his vision went to black.

They had landed.

“-up… wa- up… wake…. Wake up- Wake up! Theo, wake up!”

Eyes snapped open before slamming shut again at the glare which hit him, squinting instead, Theo groaned at the sudden sharp slice of pain which came from his abdomen. Focusing however, he ignored the desire to sleep once more and scanned his environment.

Before him was a relieved Viola, and the complete wreckage of their ship.

She laughed tiredly, “I thought I was the only one… I’m so glad you’re alive.”

‘What happened?’ He wondered before realizing that once again his thought was broadcasted, and he recalled how the ship failed, how crazy everything became.

Viola looked shocked at him before ignoring her questions and relenting in answering him.

“We crashed, the men… they started- I could hear their thoughts… just like you.” She rambled together.

‘Where’s everyone else?’

“Gone.” She sniffled, “Dead. It’s just us.”

‘Have you contacted Mother Bird?’

“No.” She cringes, “Nothing of our ship survived. We need to find a transmitter.”

Mind clearer, Theo cringes when he tries to move. Eyes darting to his abdomen, he is shocked to see a chunk of metal speared right through him.

‘Ow…’

Viola lets out a shaky laugh, “Ow?! That’s all you’ve got to say?”

Theo glares at her loudness, ‘Don’t speak so loudly.’

She shuts her mouth quickly and lets out a shaky breath before nodding, “Sorry.” She mumbles.

‘I need to get these restraints off.’ Theo tells her, ‘I can’t do anything like this.’

“Right! Of course, yeah, let me just…” She trails off and rounds Theo’s form. Pressing a thumb to the back of his lower-face muzzle, the device beeps in recognition before disengaging. With a hiss, the muzzle falls off and Theo’s hands are now free. He lets out a long breath in relief, then drawing in a nice fresh lungful of oxygen.

“Thank you.” He mutters.

Viola returns to his front, now seeing his exposed face she pauses. He glances at her, noting her reddened skin and frowns.

“Are you sick?”

“No!” She denies, “No, it’s not that.”

“Then what is it?” He asks.

She looks hesitant but answers him, “I wasn’t expect you to look so…” Theo raises an eyebrow, “… Beautiful.”

“You were expecting an ugly person?” He scoffs.

“No- I don’t know what I was expecting! Just not… this!” She gestures to his face.

He rolls his eyes at her before returning to his injury, ‘I don’t have time for this…’ He thinks.

“Well, what do you need?” She inquires softly. “How can I help you?”

“Mostly, I need food.” Theo bluntly tells her. “And for you to pull this thing out.”

She recoils, “Food?! That’s all that’s on your mind, right now? You need medical attention!”

Theo sighs, and then hisses at the pain that dramatic action caused him, ‘I need food to heal, idiot.’

“Oh…” She drawls before frowning, “You don’t have to be rude about it though, I don’t know anything about sub-humans!”

Theo groans as he leans back against some section of ship he’d been positioned at, “I’ll have to get used to that.”

“Used to what?” Viola asks.

“You hearing my thoughts.”

Viola realizes that indeed, she’d been responding to him when he hadn’t even opened his mouth. He very much was only broadcasting his thoughts. But why couldn’t he hear hers?

She shuffles to stand, and gestures to the chunk of metal sticking out of him, “I better pull that out…”

“Please…” Theo huffs.

She thinks to do it slowly and gently, but Theo’s expression causes her to intake a sharp breath and tug the chunk out quickly. Theo groans and hisses at the wave of pain which follows but already she could see that flesh within him trying to mend itself.

“I’ll go find some food.” She tells him, “Get some rest.”

Theo nods his head, much too tired to argue with her. ‘Thank you.’

“Just don’t die on me, okay.”

Theo gasped awake, hands darting to cradle the still very much healing wound at his side, only to find Viola desperately trying to speak with him, tugging urgently at his uniform.

“What is it?” Theo asked.

“There’s people! Some- Someone is following me! Chasing me! We have to move-“ She whipped her head to the left of her, and the calling of someone’s thoughts were getting louder.

Theo gritted his teeth and pushed himself to his feet, slapping Viola’s worried hands away from him.

‘Where are we going?’ He thought to her.

“Over here, there’s a ridge.” She explains quickly, a pre-packed bag already slung around her side. Leading the way in a hurry, Theo stumbles after her. Winding around slopes and trees before emerging at a small ridge which would act as temporary cover.

“You must be quiet.” She urges, “Do not think.”

“Easy for you to say…” Theo grumbles, sitting down and calming his racing heart.

But he managed it, as the curious voice of a young man hurried off with the word ‘spaceship’ in his head.

“He’s going to tell someone.” Theo stated.

Viola nodded her head, “I saw a village. There’s quite a few people there.”

“Did you manage to find any food?” Theo asks hopefully, and she nods her head. Hands darting to her slung bag and pulling out an apple each.

Theo looks at it pitifully and sighs, ‘Better than nothing, I suppose…’

“It was that or beets.” Viola shares, “It was that boy which spotted me taking them.”

Opening his mouth to take a bite out of the sweet fruit, Viola gasps, hands darting forwards to pull back his lips. Theo catches both her wrists and snarls at her, “What are you doing?!”

“Your teeth!” She exclaims.

“What of it?” He returns.

“They’re sharp!” She marvels, “You have two sets of elongated canines! Do all sub-humans-“

“Just Omega.” Theo interrupts, pushing away from her. His tone is low and sad, ‘I miss the pack…’

“The pack?” Viola questions, “Your family?”

Theo glares at her, before sighing as he realized it wasn’t her fault for being able to hear his thoughts. Instead, he turns his back to her and continues to eat the apple he’d been given. Viola realizes the conversation must have been a sensitive one. Thinking more on it, she supposed that was a more than reasonable response. His family, himself included, were genetically engineered experiments that were barely classed as human- they didn’t share the same rights or experiences in the slightest-

Viola gasps as the farm boy stumbles randomly upon them both-

‘Holy shit! It’s a girl.’ The boy’s thoughts exclaim. ‘Space girl.’

Theo is swiftly at his feet, pushing Viola behind him protectively, his side causes him to wobble sightly but he maintains his strong posture and glares at the farm boy cautiously.

“Whoa!” The boy jumps back a little in surprise at Theo’s movements, ‘That’s a girl- He’s quiet too. Is he a girl too?’

The boy looks at Theo form in a sort of awe, the man was tall and large, he held himself like a warrior. Like a predator and it made the young man shiver instinctually at the sight, not to mention the obvious training and skill this person displayed. Like a giant weapon… More notably however, was the silence of thought coming from Theo.

Backing up slowly, Theo snatches Viola’s sling bag and shoves it to her form. The boy darts his eyes to the orange of her raincoat and pant uniform.

‘Never seen a girl before… she’s from the farm-‘

Theo snarls, whipping out a small tactical knife from his uniform and swiping it warningly in the boy’s direction.

“Stay back, boy. Don’t come any closer.” He warns. ‘I’ll kill you…’

The boy gasps, the Noise of Theo was not what he was expecting at all. The voice was low and smooth, it sounded controlled and… rather nice to the ear. But his attention is stolen again by the space girl, the farm boy is barely able to see Viola, who trembles in fear and remains pressed into Theo’s back. But Theo’s defending motion lets the stranger barely get another glimpse of her-

‘Girl. Girl. It’s a girl. Girl. Oh, my God-‘ The boy straightens himself, “Where are you from?” He questions softly, but his thoughts are still all over the place.

‘You’re a girl. No Noise. Who are they? Who is he…?’

“Are you from Earth?” The boy inquires again, this time directly to both of them. Neither Viola or Theo respond to him. ‘Girl! Thief! They’re… pretty! Shut up, Todd-‘

“Sorry. I’m sorry. I’ve just never… Never seen a girl before. Never seen anyone from space…” The boy explains lamely. Both Theo and Viola look at him like he’s crazy. This Todd fellow was… unique, to put it lightly. But he was also threatening the exposure of their location.

“Are you from Earth?” Todd asks again, before stumbling backwards at Theo’s pulled lip. ‘Teeth! Sharp, sharp teeth! What is he?!-‘

Viola steps on a rather brittle branch which snaps under her weight, and Todd’s eyes dart to meet hers.

‘You’re really pretty. Yellow hair. Found her… I found her! I found her!’

His thoughts were loud and undeniably a beacon to their position, Theo looks over his shoulder to Viola.

“Run.”

She doesn’t question him, she does as commanded of her and darts away instantly. Theo readies his knife again, ready to hold off any chasers on her tail.

What he wasn’t expecting however was a hologram that tricked him into attacking a false enemy, now face-to-face with the culprit, Theo readies himself for any other type of attack or defense.

“What are you?” The man inquires with a curious gaze. He was older, in his fifties perhaps. With greying hair and an air of authority practically dripping from his person.

Theo scrunches his nose but decides to answer honestly, “I’m an Omega sub-human, of Mother Bird colony. Who are you?”

“Sub-human?” The man repeats confused, before his eyes gleam in intrigue. “Interesting. I’m leader of fleet 3, now mayor of Prentisstown. David Prentiss.”

“Prentiss? You were-“

Theo doesn’t finish his revelation as someone behind him knocks him out cold with the bunt of their gun.

Quickly, he falls to the ground lifeless.

Waking with a startle, Theo wasn’t expecting a nose to be pressed against the junction of his neck, instinctively he tries to protect himself, but again his hands are restricted and tied securely behind him. Instead all he can do is lean away from the perpetrator.

“What are you doing?” Theo hisses.

David Prentiss takes a step back, allowing Theo to identify him, “Why do you smell like that?”

“What are you talking about?” Theo rebuts quickly, ‘Only Alpha can scent me… wait- Fuck.’

“Alpha?” David repeats, amused at the mistake. “Explain to me… what are you, Theo?”

“How do you know my name?” Theo hisses, alarm flaring up in his expression. His records were confidential, locked and sealed tightly away. Only Viola would be aware of this-

“First, tell me where she is.” Theo demands, changing the subject instantly upon his previous thoughts.

“Safe.” David answers with a growing smile, “For now.” He adds ominously.
