Idea
So, basically for just about every fan fiction save maybe two for when Taylor triggers in the locker, they sort of just ignore a lot of the theory that goes behind why people get the powers that they get to just give Taylor whatever awesome power they want.
Not saying its a bad thing, especially since I enjoy it so much, but I am saying that it ignores the fact that when Taylors was stuck in the toxic waste pile and insect ridden heap that her locker became, her body adapted to overcome the insects, which were then used to overcome the rest of it.
In my mind the theory of triggering relies on two specific 'reasonings' for why people get the powers they do. The first reasoning is location/cause, essentially the idea that a person will trigger in order to overcome a specific obstacle or because of a specific trauma, in essence the person burning in a fire, triggering with a control over fire, a person drowning triggering and being able to breathe underwater, or becoming a hydro kinetic. The second theory behind why people get the powers that they do is genetics/expectation. Supposedly genetics has some influence on the powers that people receive. The entirety of the Dallon clan (With the exception of Panacea who was adopted, and got body manipulation powers that were simply on a greater scale then her genetic father.) getting powers that all were fell very closely together with laser and light themes. Another prominent example would be Kaiser's (Max Anders) son Teddy(?), also known as golem, who rather then his fathers metal control, got a far broader version of 'earth control'
This next idea is basically taking those concepts, and then giving Taylor just a dash of Bonesaw-esque powers, not even close to duplicating them, but definitely Bio-tinker.
Plague Doctor
Aegis sighed as he helped first responders in the aftermath of another Tinkertech explosion, this one a bomb that released a short-lived bacterium. In the aftermath of Lung's capture, Bakuda, the ABB's new bomb focused tinker had gone on a rampage, detonating bombs with varied effects all across the city in an effort to get the unknown cape who had taken Lung down to show themselves.
The dragon of Kyushu had been found 3 weeks ago, in a coma, with his body misshapen with growing and pulsing lumps of flesh that were slowly receding as his healing factor took hold, however, at the rate the apparently cancerous lumps were receding, Lung wouldn't be in any shape near active for at least another month.
Aegis, his in-human constitution allowing him to withstand the small amount of exposure he had to the bacterium, was assisting, ferrying the injured back and forth from detonation sites to aid stations and first aid hospitals that had been set up throughout the city.
But as the day set on the third day of Bakuda's rampage, Aegis noticed a green mist that seemed to billow out of the sewers. Aegis ignored the screams and the cries of distress as the fog came closer, his eyes locked on a figure in the fog, carrying a swinging censor, from with seethed more fog, glowing a faint, sickly green.
Aegis started as the figure came closer, the figure's face was dominated by a old fashioned, bone white plague doctors mask, a pair of crimson glass lenses seemed to glow from deep within, adding just a little more creep factor to an already terrifying visage, other then the mask, not a single identifying marks was visible, a black hood covering any hair, leather gloves covering the figures hands, a strange cross between a skirt and pants falling to just above a pair of black work boots.
As the figure walked closer, it would stop periodically, checking on people who were collapsed and screaming, but as the wounded and infected breathed in the smoke, they quieted, visible lesions and wounds closing.
The figure poked and prodded at the occasional person, swabbing some and putting the leavings in pouches, others he would lay a pill in a mouth, or a poultice on a more serious open wound or two.
Aegis edged closer to the figure.
"Who… Who are you?!"
The figures head tilted, its red eyes peering unnervingly at Aegis, the voice that emerged was garbled and phlegmatic, It sounded like the figure was gargling on blood. Whatever was wrong with the figure, it rendered their voice almost indecipherable.
"I… Am… The Plague Doctor… It is… A… Pleasure to… Meet you… Aegis…"
Aegis shifted in nervous readiness as the slightly glowing green fog made its way closer to him.
"Are you hero or villain?"
The birdlike mask tilted to the other side before that diseased voice came forth again, presenting an almost inhuman.
"Rogue… With… Heroic leanings…"
Aegis shifted out of his stance, that answer was far more honest then most responses would have been. If they had been a villain they either would have attacked or said hero before trying to get in closer, a hero would have responded with both hero and affiliation, so in other words it actually reassured Aegis that they had answered so bluntly. But, there was something that bothered him.
"Why are you, a tinker with obvious Biokinetic leanings out and about, risking yourself? Heroic leanings or not, you are a Rogue, not a lot of support for you if things go wrong."
Plague Doctor shrugged.
"I… was the one… who captured… Lung."
Plague Doctor cocked their head again, this time as though they were listening to something unheard, probably a com in their mask, but nevertheless, after a few moments of tense silence, then the Plague Doctor shrugged again.
"it seems… I am needed… elsewhere… It was a… pleasure meeting you Aegis…"
As the Plague Doctor turned to walk away, Aegis was suddenly overcome, he rushed forward, trying to stop a cape who was single handily healing dozens of people, and who had managed to taken down Lung, a cape he had to know more about, a cape who's powers could be absolutely deadly if not controlled.
But then, just as Aegis's hand was about to clasp the Plague Doctor's shoulder, the figure garbed in black and bone whirled and stabbed a syringe into Aegis, and then quickly depressed the plunger.
Aegis' body froze, his joints locking painfully into place. Plague Doctor secreted the syringe into the depths of their cloak before speaking again.
"I have… Just injected you with… A intense… virus that causes… Your muscles to lock… It has a half life of 4 hours… Goodbye Aegis…"
And with that, the Plague Doctor walked away, their censor trailing that glowing green smoke.
