While this story continues on the ideas in the Billy is a god AU, this is not officially part of my AU. See it as another continuation of FOTG if the rules of magic worked a little differently.

“What is happening to me?”
Nobody really noticed at first.
After the dome disaster the Vasquez worked hard to gain some sort of normality. They rebuild their house (thank god for the Wayne relieve fund), they went back to school and work and, most importantly of all, their familial bond grew stronger then ever. The accident, and subsequently, Billy’s death and resurrection almost forgotten.
Being so close to each other, it was really hard to notice the subtle changes Billy was undergoing day by day.
It was that feeling when you looked into his eyes and you swore they looked less bright half a year ago, but that that could not be right and maybe you are just misremembering it.
Maybe it was that thing that you could feel it when Billy entered the room, as if his presence called attention. But you rationalized it by thinking: ‘I heard his footsteps, he has a very distinct walk, I probably knew because of that’
Maybe it was the fact that he seemed to look healthier. How even during the toughest of exams and assignments he did not look tired, even if he claimed he needed to chug an energy to stay awake during the test.
It were all small things, stretched over a long period of time, that you only noticed it if you placed an older picture right next to Billy’s face and pointed it out directly. Not even Billy saw anything wrong.
Well until that day that was.
Billy was helping with dinner, cutting up vegetables with a knife while talking to Freddy when he accidentally cut himself. It was small and not that serious, just a bit of running water and a small band-aid and he would go on with his day. Or, he would have done that normally.
As he cleaned the small cut, a slither of blood leaked out, lacking the distinct red colour it was known form.
Billy watched in horror as a small line of blood stained his hand. Not red, but in a yellowish gold. Ichor, the blood of the gods.
He could only turn to Freddy, whose face mirrored Billy’s shock.
“Freddy… What’s happening to me?”

Fun Fact, in my Billy is a god AU notedoc I distinctly have the rule that both Billy and Cap bleed red. The rule is even older then the notedoc, originating from another post FOTG AU I made in 2023 that never saw the light of day. So, the more you know!
