Hello! Thanks for clicking on this fanfiction! This'll just take a moment. Before you begin reading I'd like to clarify a few things about this story since you might not be familiar with me and my AU.

- THE EXPLANATION OF KATE ACORN:
She's an OC that belongs to me, sister of Sonic and wife of Elias Acorn. "It", as you'll come to see, is a form that she has nicknamed Catastrophic Kate that mainly works off of pyrokinesis due to an incident that trapped a spirit inside her body. "It"/Catastrophic Kate is what happens if her limiters come off.

She also has 2 friends named Luke and Emma, who are my OCs, and they'll become more apparent in the story as it continues on. They also have a band named Paramore, expect references to them! (Yes that Paramore because I love Paramore!) I hope you all come to love her the more you read!

- THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF THE PRE-SGW ARCHIE TIMELINE
I have a personal preference for the Pre-SGW timeline and so I've chosen to continue it on instead of having the Post-SGW timeline.

- ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

- Elias is headcanoned as FtM trans in this story, so if you don't like that feel free not to read!
- Max has a better grasp on sanity/interactions in this story as you'll see later, I hated the take of him being essentially a cold hearted asshole and wanted to liven him up a bit.
- Max is also able to walk instead of being fully wheelchair bound!
- There'll be an interlude every 4 chapters to explain the context behind Operation: Hideout.

That's all for the disclaimers, now sit back, relax, and joy reading the story!
