Summary
The city shifted. You could feel it in the bones of the street, in the old catacombs below.
One spark.
A turbine launch.
And suddenly the world’s got new rules no one understands.
Sokka is not gifted. Not chosen. Just the guy who remembers what it cost the last time someone promised “a better future.”
And now he’s chasing shadows through a city that's falling apart.
Trying to keep his loved ones safe.
Knowing there is more to everything than what’s out there on the surface.
Especially with a company that won’t stop pulling the threads until the whole city — the whole world — turns grayscale.Alternate Universe- Superheros & Detective Sokka

When he finally managed to find himself at the entrance of the cave, destruction met his eyes. The smell of burning flesh and the raw screams that echoed in his ears were all too familiar.

Summary
Steve is a giver. He loves to give, to provide, to fulfill— he loves to be needed by people, because he’s been taught that that’s the only way people will love him. That’s the only way people will value him.
But Dustin, who has never once considered that he only loves Steve because he provides— wants to change this. He has to change this.
----------
AKA Dustin has a dilemma over what to get Steve for Christmas because i love when the conflict is absolutely nothing

Summary
Steve is hurt. Bruises bloom across his face in glaring shades of purple, and similar patches of colour litter the rest of his body as well. It's dark now, but Dustin got to witness the severity of his injuries when his mom cleaned Steve up in the many places his wounds started bleeding. It was by no means a pretty sight— He looked quite dreadful, actually. And not just because of the many ways his body was damaged… There was something frightened, almost animalistic in the way Steve's eyes darted around the room, visibly fighting the urge to lean away from Claudia and the wet wash cloth.
What did they do to you, buddy?

Or Dustin feels the weight of what transpired at Starcourt; Steve is there to offer him reassurance.

Summary
Overall, Robin can say that her life has been, from the starting point, a shit show.
But now, after having escaped psycho Russians and a goddamn pile of human flesh jelly, she can definitely declare without a doubt that Steve Harrington’s life is a far shittier show.
