YJ Mako Mermaids AU (this post context)- Tail headcanons!!(and main powers)

Konners tail- (Hydro Thermokenisis)

Bright orange with dark red highlights on his more spike shaped fins. Very reminiscent of lava especially when the sun hits it just right. This is a tail made for POWER- lots of muscle under those scales that packs a nasty punch. He learned that after accidently smashing part of a reef bed, didnt hurt nearly as much as the lecture from Bart afterwards though.

Tims tail- (Hydro Cryokenisis)

A range of Blues from almost black to neon, extra fins are more wavy than pointed. It resembles something that would come from the deep sea and does in fact glow in the right light. A tail made for Dexterity above all else, tight twists and turns are a breeze. Though as a result of his new found ease, he's no longer allowed to play navigator since some of his "routes" are impossible for the others.

Cassies Tail- (None Siren song)

A gorgeous true and white gold that shimmers as she glides through the water. The real fun though? Her tail gives her the power and manuverability to launch herself out of the water at outrageous heights. Of course after a close call with her almost flopping on the deck of a Wayne research boat, she isnt allowed to do her "bursts" out of the water unless absolutely certian shes alone with her friends.

Barts tail- (Electrokensis)

An array of orange contrasted with white and black markings make Barts tail blend in the most of all. One advantage he does have over his friends is a tail made for pure speed, his top fin cutting through the water with no restraint. But such speed makes it hard to dodge objects when he isnt careful, and dragging an unconcious bart onto dry land while still in tails themselves? A nightmare.

None of their tails seem to tie back to any specific species of origin, but seem to have traits unique to their own features.

@yjcorefourenjoyer this is your fault.

I SEE THE VISION- OH MY GOD Y E S

The Kent's own the oceanside cafe, Kon whose backstory closer resembles Damian- a surprise son from an Ex of Clark whom he just gained custody off a little whole ago and is adjusting to life in Mako. But in his rebellion he ended up meeting a quiet boy who hangs out by the beach and his rambunctious sea loving friends.

Tim, the child of Running mayoral candidate Janet Drake, who seems hellbent on bringing a "modern touch" to their "quiet seaside life". in her campaign. A kid who also does competitive swimming and is out for the Olympics at this rate. But while he loves the ocean and swimming- the pressure of competition is driving him crazy so he goes on the beach to chill. And if he happens to finally get the opportunity to be nosy about "the new guy" in town- who would reject that? (Oh and he also interns at the Wayne family Aquarium where the Allen's work)

Cassie who moved out with her mom who is a teacher at the local high-school and has always had a fascination for mermaid tales. She is hell bent on the fact they are real, and insists that they take the Allen family boat to Mako Island every full moon to get a chance at "gathering evidence". So if Tims actually made a friend on his own? Of course the new kid can join- the more eyes the better

Bart whose family are renound marine biologists and work at the local aquarium, he's always been "Merfolk adjacent" just from how often he's in the water. Competes with Tim but more for fun and is a frequent visitor if the Kent Cafe. Has the keys to the aquarium as well as his uncles boat that he comendeers every month for their trip to Mako Island. Honestly he's just excited to go fishing.

Of course when all the kids sneak off and onto Mako, after catching and cooking up a lovely fish dinner (courtesy of Bart). Kon learns of Cassies mer obsession and Tims exasperation for said obsession, his "tugging on pigtails" flirting leads to him insisting they explore the island for "evidence".

Cassie is of course overjoyed, Bart is always down for an adventure, and Tim is outnumbered. SO they end up stumbling upon some weird cave- and without further adou slip into a tunnel with a giant pool in the center.

Tim starts getting nervous and says they should leave, but before he can say anything his friends are jumping into the water and dragging him along with.

Magic montage and BOOM suddenly they're merfolk and freaking the fuck out

Then arcs include Kons family life, misunderstandings of "teenage rebellion" verses "merman issues" and his harder to ignore crush on his new best friend.

Cassie learning the true consequences of her "dream come true" and dealing with hiding such a detrimental secret from her own mom.

Bart and Tim dealing with being around water 24/7 as well as the Waynes & Allens who seem hellbent on getting to the bottom to the recent "strange marine life sightings" around Mako.

But they have no other choice than to band together and hope to find a cure, or uncover the full mysteries that Mako has to offer.
