Confrontation | |
| Confrontation (Fanfic) | comment |
Confrontation is a Worm fanfiction by ack1308, published on FanFiction.Net (here), SpaceBattles.com (here), Sufficient Velocity.com (here), and Questionable Questing (here). It and its sequel, Confrontation II: the Reckoning (FFN; SB; SV; QQ), are complete.Taylor Hebert's debut as a cape goes worse than canon; Lung is defeated, but she is left unconscious and seriously injured, to be rescued by Armsmaster and healed by Panacea. As a result, Armsmaster's recruitment pitch to the Wards gets a much more positive reception from her. However, this puts her on a head-on collision course with Shadow Stalker, aka Sophia Hess, her partner on the team but her nemesis out of costume... | |

Your Mom | |
| Confrontation (Fanfic) / int_1649e053 | comment |
Your Mom: Taylor loses her temper and hits an already subdued prisoner after he insults her mother, which gets her in trouble with Aegis. And then he tries to address the situation by arranging a heart to heart between her and himself and Shadow Stalker... | |

The Sociopath | |
| Confrontation (Fanfic) / int_19851b86 | comment |
The Sociopath: Squealer considers Bakuda to have only a tenuous grasp on reality, and that she would "casually stab someone to death over the last chocolate bar in the fridge." But after Skidmark's death, Squealer is feeling rather omnicidal herself. | |

Gone Horribly Wrong | |
| Confrontation (Fanfic) / int_19df659c | comment |
Gone Horribly Wrong: Aegis figures that since Buzz and Shadow Stalker are having issues with appropriate force and restraint, and since Shadow Stalker seems to trust Buzz more than any other Wards, the starting point in addressing the issue is to let them talk about it with each other and him in a mostly private setting. When the conversation leads into them realising each other's civilian identities, Taylor attempts to kill Sophia, and Aegis gets officially reprimanded for letting it happen. | |

I Owe You My Life: Since Taylor saved the Undersiders from Lung, they leave a note alerting Armsmaster to her plight. Lisa later calls in the favour to have Taylor let them walk away after Bakuda's defeat, instead of fighting. | |

Evil Power Vacuum | |
| Confrontation (Fanfic) / int_2835de61 | comment |
Evil Power Vacuum: With all three ABB capes taken off the board, the Empire 88 starts muscling in on the vacant territory. However, the other gangs aren't content to just let them take it, and form an alliance against them, resulting in open warfare. | |

I'll Pretend I Didn't Hear That | |
| Confrontation (Fanfic) / int_285b66d7 | comment |
I'll Pretend I Didn't Hear That: Panacea heals Lung, but doesn't entirely restore his stamina, figuring that it's no bad thing if he's off his game for a few days, regardless of strict medical ethics, and tells Taylor so — in front of Armsmaster. Since he doesn't actually disagree with the sentiment, though, he says that he'll ignore that. | |

Creepy-Crawly Torture | |
| Confrontation (Fanfic) / int_32d0c1fc | comment |
Creepy-Crawly Torture: The "bugpocalypse" tactic centers on Buzz covering targets in swarms of bugs where no bugs should go, to make the victim flee the building — into an ambush by Shadow Stalker. | |

Morton's Fork | |
| Confrontation (Fanfic) / int_407d3e6d | comment |
Morton's Fork: Coil splits time before pulling out of his driveway, emerging at slightly different times and turning different ways, but it's all for nothing when Squealer's invisible tank runs over both instances of him. | |

| Confrontation (Fanfic) / int_617f0563 | comment |
Heel–Face Turn: Sophia never exactly becomes a kind and gentle person, but after the bullying comes out and Taylor ends up as her parole officer, she does make some effort at amends, providing a sworn statement against the other girls and trying to stop them from continuing their campaign. | |

For Want of a Nail | |
| Confrontation (Fanfic) / int_79a60aec | comment |
For Want of a Nail: Taylor pressed the trigger on her pepper spray canister a moment earlier than canon. By the time she corrected her aim (as per canon) and pointed it at Lung's eyes, it was already empty. Since he wasn't blinded, he had the chance to strike her and then breathe fire over her before the Undersiders took him down, meaning that she passed out from her injuries by the time Armsmaster arrived, and was taken back to PRT headquarters... | |

Stab the Scorpion | |
| Confrontation (Fanfic) / int_8a7e27b5 | comment |
Stab the Scorpion: Shadow Stalker tells Buzz not to move, then fires a crossbow through her chest — but she phased for a moment first, resulting in an insubstantial bolt going through harmlessly, then reverting to solid on the other side and hitting a gang member. | |

Dramatic Irony: Buzz is the first Ward who's been able to gain Shadow Stalker's respect, and seems to like working with her in turn, startling everyone when they make an effective partnership. Meanwhile, Sophia is the most violent of Taylor's bullies and the driving force behind bullying her in the first place. Glory Girl, upon learning that Taylor faced Lung, admiringly says that that must take "balls of solid titanium." Taylor and Amy both wince at the recollection of what her spiders did to Lung. | |

Red Herring | |

Red Herring: Coil's computer has a "Forgot PIN?" feature if you don't know the password. Using it will present a screen with various ways to supposedly retrieve the password, but it's all a distraction; the real effect is to trigger the base's Self-Destruct Mechanism.note Word of God is that the password recovery does actually work, but there are extra hidden steps needed to avoid the self-destruct. | |
