As many of you may know, the fish oil plot used in the season 2 finale alludes to the Terrigen Bomb arc of the comic books. I decided to use the whole Inhumans plot, imagine Philinda as Skye's biological parents and seize the Agents of SHIELD season 2 finale/pre-Civil War timeline, mix-and-match everything and create this fanfiction. I wasn't going to post this now but since the season 3 premiere is getting closer and I'm going to mention many Inhumans related stuff, I decided to start posting it so I can avoid people's reviews comparing how some things I wrote are similar to the show's plot.
So, this fanfiction takes place during present time but WITH THE FOLLOWING DIFFERENT DETAILS:
- Skye is a child (and some other characters she'll meet are also children);
- This also means that there's no super team flying around on the BUS;
- Bahrain didn't happen;
- May and Coulson are married;
- Coulson didn't die during the Battle of NY (but the Battle happened, just like the whole Sokovia and Ultron plot);
- But, there's no HYDRA! That means SHIELD is what it was before the whole HYDRA reveal, meaning Fury's the boss (sorry Coulson!);
- And most important one: May is Inhuman. She teaches martial arts at the local gym and is also the leader of a small Inhumans group (kind of like Jiaying, except May isn't nuts). Her Inhuman abilities involve:
1) Omnilinguism (aka Allspeak) – the ability to understand and translate any language, spoken or written, regardless of origin;
2) Intuitive Aptitude – ability to instantly learn and understand the complexity and exactness of powers, organisms and objects;
3) Nerve manipulation – ability to manipulate (cause/increase/decrease) the nerves and nervous system of oneself or others (includes senses, reflexes, voluntary/involuntary movements)
4) Emotion manipulation - ability to sense and manipulate emotions, feelings and moods whether by increasing, decreasing, causing or even manifesting them in a physical level.
The title of this fanfiction comes from the Muse's sixth studio album, The Resistance, and all the chapter titles are song titles from different albums from said band. The cover image of the fanfiction is from Muse's third album Absolution. Notice the blue shadows of the people and the man staring at them? Remember Raina's quote about the 'blue angels that fell from the heavens'? Well, that's just convenient, isn't it? "The artwork [of Absolution] can either been seen as people coming down to Earth or leaving Earth, it's open to interpretation" (quote from the band's drummer, Dominic Howard).
For those who are still reading, this is the end of my explanations! After all of this, I hope you still want to read the story. As you can see, I put a lot of effort into it.
(Unrelated note: In case no one noticed yet, I love Muse… You've never listened to them? Stop everything and give them a try. I'm sure it'll suit the liking of some of you).
If you like the idea of what this fanfiction will be, follow, review, whatever, just let me know.
Chapter updates: Saturdays, every two weeks.
