Steampunk popstar!Hypnova au, from @asian-ascian‘s prompt, because I’m weak for the girls being friends.
(Note: In this au, Trea has multiple personality disorder, as to how nobody has actual superpowers and it’s something that would fit Trea very well. Just imagine this is T3 talking.)
(Also, in Lowtown culture, it’s practically a crime to not have your hair dyed in some way.)
Lorem grabbed the girl’s hand. “I want to introduce you to someone.”
The girl nervously peered up at her. “This ‘someone’ isn’t crazy, right?”
A full-out laugh erupted from Lorem’s throat. She planted a hand in the girl’s black hair -- boring! -- just like she would do with Jack normally, messing it up, and smirked. “Cute.”
Lorem took her hand out of the girl’s hair -- maybe a silver color? That could work -- and grabbed her hand. The teenager started down the street, dragging the younger girl with her. “What’s your name?”
“Huh?” the girl stuttered.
“Your name. You have one, right?”
The girl jumped. “O-oh. Allegra.”
Lorem casually held out her hand to shake. “Nice to meet you, Allegra. I’m Lo --”
A loud, female voice suddenly echoed out of the night. “Heeyyyy, girl! What brings you to our side of town?”
Lorem’s head swung up, scanning the dark alleyways that lined the street. A broad grin split her face as a familiar brown-and-blue ponytail came into view. “Trea! Long time, no see!”
A “T-trea?” reminded Lorem that she wasn’t alone.
“Oh! Allegra, this is Trea. She’s who I was taking you to meet,” she explained quickly.
Trea wasn’t paying attention to Lorem or her accompaniment anymore. Rather, she was frowning contemplatively at Allegra’s plain, black hair.
The graffiti artist glanced sideways at Lorem.
