Hackers AU and Human AU

The Hacking Elite
He was Nicholai Technus, Master of Technology, Cyber-Crime Lord and Ruler of the Dark Web, and for the life of him, he could not figure out how this script kiddie, no-name brat kept hacking into his private server.
"Identify yourself, Child!" he screamed at his computer, rapidly tapping keys to disable the ransomware frozen to his screen; when at last he cut into the program's backdoor and regained control of his computer, Technus found that someone had hacked into his black market transaction files, rifled through his contact list, and - worst of all - renamed everything with one exceedingly bad pun after another.
Technus dug through his code, scouring for any trace of identification, but the guy was a ghost, clearing his tracks like an expert - absconding with his data like a Phantom in the night.
This is more Tucker's territory than Danny's, but I imagine in this AU, they're a team. Sam's a hacktivist, keeps her ear to the chatter for new targets, Tucker's the software junkie who pulls off impressive feats, and Danny's the Phantom, who physically breaks into places for on-site hardware hacking and in-person Phishing for info.
Technus, as you can see, is a mastermind who's a bit too full of himself and ready to be brought down a peg.
