Summary: Walter Works High School is a place where shifters of all races and secondary genders learn together. It's located right at the borders of two very small towns and due to their size, the small towns share the high school. Hiccup, a young alpha dragon-shifter, is the son of the Alpha of Berk, one of the two towns. He's well respected and well-liked by others. Everyone expects Hiccup to one day be mated to Burgess' heir Merida, the omega bear-shifter. Both teens have been fighting this tooth and nail for years now, being good friends but nothing more.
One day, Jack Overland moves to Burgess and the gorgeous omega instantly catches the interest of Hiccup. The problem is that Jack is from a part of the world where omegas are seen as the lowest and most worthless of shifters, so he has no idea how to handle his new surroundings – a community of mixed racial shifters that live peacefully and see omegas as precious.
The Shifters of Walter Works High
The Dragon and the Arctic Fox
Chapter 2: Epic
Hiccup was fourteen when something exciting finally happened on their little island. Their home was relatively remote, Berk and Burgess being the only towns on the island actually. Hence the plans to unite them into one tribe, because at one point, the borders between their territory would blur too much and cause problems. So, everything that ever happened on their little island was somehow related to the rivalry between Berk and Burgess. Like soccer games between their two tribes. But when Hiccup was fourteen, someone new entered their lives. Someone exciting.
"I've heard they're birds", exclaimed Fishlegs excitedly.
He was holding a book on shifters, going through it to look for various bird-species. Hiccup grinned amused where he walked next to the blonde. Toothless on Hiccup's other side rolled his green eyes at Fishlegs' enthusiasm. The last exciting thing to happen had been how Toothless had come here, so to the black-scaled dragon-shifter, this excitement was all new.
"I don't understand what all the fuss is about. You don't even know if the new guys are going to be interesting. Maybe they're just an old couple or something", signed Toothless with an eye-roll.
"But that's just it, Tooth", argued Hiccup as he walked backward so he could face his friend and so Toothless could read his lips. "They might not be. What if there's someone our age? Someone exciting or... or intelligent? This could change the way things on Berk are."
Toothless snorted and rolled his eyes fondly at Hiccup and Fishlegs. "Nerds."
The trio reached the harbor, just to realize they hadn't been the only ones curious and eager to see the new arrivals. Merida and her best friend Rapunzel were there too. Rapunzel was a bit of a weirdo, not that Hiccup was one to judge. She was a wonderful artist and spent about as much of her free time at the school as Hiccup did – just not in the workshop with Gobber or Mister Saint North, no she was usually to be found in the arts department with Mister Bunnymund. She was a very loud person with a loud personality, she could talk with no end, was always bright and cheerful, with a side of naive innocence. Her excitable and jumpy nature reflected beautifully in her shifter animal – a golden-brown squirrel. It was impossible not to like her. She was also one of the few young omegas their island had, making her all the more special.
"Hey, guys!", exclaimed Rapunzel loudly, waving at them with a broad smile.
Her long, golden-blonde hair was in a thick braid to keep it out of the way, flowers woven into it. She sat atop her horse Maximus, the white stallion whining and straightening as he watched the boys. Next to Maximus stood Angus, Merida's horse, not minding them any further, just like the redhead sitting on his back. No, Merida's full focus was on the ocean in front of them. It always was when she was at the cliffs, Hiccup had seen it often enough. Like every other teen on Dragon's Edge, the island Berk and Burgess laid on, she knew every nook and cranny of their island. Real adventure, real freedom, laid beyond the sea somewhere.
"Hello, Punzel", grinned Fishlegs. "And? Are they there yet? What are they like?"
"Look", ordered Merida, not moving at all.
Hiccup, Toothless and Fishlegs came to stand next to the two omegas on horseback. A ship was approaching the harbor, canoe-like and rather pretty and old-fashioned. At the helm of the ship stood a girl, posture straight and the look on her face fierce. She was wearing strange clothes too.
"Children. Too curious for own good, yes?"
All five teens jumped as they were caught like that. Nick Saint North smiled knowingly at them and laughed. Next to him was his mate Toothiana, fluttering excitedly in the sky with her bird of paradise wings. She was one of the few shifters who chose to spend most of her time in half-shifted form. With them were Stoick and Cass, as well as Fergus and Elinor. While Hiccup's parents looked mainly amused, Merida's mother stared rather sternly at her daughter.
"Who are they?", asked Rapunzel curiously when she climbed off her horse.
"We do not know, but we shall see. Now come, children", replied Stoick.
As one, their group headed closer to the docks. The father was a tall, broad alpha, making Hiccup again feel inferior when he looked at Stoick, Nick, Fergus and now this new arrival. Would he ever grow up to be like them? A true picture of an alpha? The alpha's mate was a petite, pretty omega woman with a friendly smile. She wore a curious kind of dress, while he only wore a kind of wrap-around skirt with strange motifs on it, his upper body covered in tattoos. Their skin-complexion was so different from the mainly pale people of Berk and Burgess – there wasn't much sun here to begin with, it was nearly constant winter around here, really. They looked out of this world.
"Welcome. I am Stoick Haddock, Alpha of Berk. This is my mate Cass", greeted Stoick.
"And I am Fergus DunBroch, Alpha of Burgess, and my mate Elinor", added Fergus proudly.
"Thank you for the welcoming", replied the man with a mild smile. "It has been a long journey and being greeted with warm words is a balm. I am Tui Waialiki. My wife Sina and our daughter, Moana. We have come from... afar. Searching for a place to call home."
"Why don't you get settled first? I'm sure we can whip up something to eat for you, you must be hungry", offered Cass with a welcoming smile. "You are welcomed to stay as long as you want."
While the eight adults walked ahead, the teens stayed back. Moana was about their age. She had wild, dark curls and a defiant look in her eyes that reminded Hiccup a lot of Merida and Astrid. She was pretty and held herself with a certain sense of pride. There was an underlying, strong scent of alpha still hidden away beneath a layer of cotton. She eyed the five teens curiously.
"Hello", greeted Rapunzel first, all up in the new girl's face. "I'm Rapunzel, I'm a squirrel. This is Merida, she's a bear. And those three are Hiccup, Fishlegs and Toothless, they're dragons. Toothless is deaf so you have to face him when talking. What brought you here?"
Moana's eyes widened a little as she backed off a bit at the overly eager omega. Hiccup rested a gentle hand on Rapunzel's shoulder, gaining her attention and silently telling her to calm down. The blonde flushed a bit embarrassed before she took a step back.
"I am Moana. We... come from far away. Our island... and our neighboring islands... died. A disease spread throughout the plants, making them sick and leaving our... people sick", replied Moana, pain in her eyes. "We tried to stop it, yet it couldn't be helped. Our flock dissolved, looking for a place to stay. An island to stay. Our flock has been away from the main land too long to adapt to its ways."
"How far is far away? What did you see?", asked Merida eagerly, eyes sparkling.
Moana startled again, but now she looked in awe as she stared at Merida. "Your... hair. It's..."
"Untamable", supplied Hiccup casually, grinning a bit. "Would you like to come with us? My mom makes a mean casserole and if you've really been traveling that long, rest should sound good?"
"I've been dying to go on an adventure beyond our borders", continued Merida, not minding either of them as she waved her arms around. "And it's not like I'm defenseless just because I'm an omega, you know? I can fight. No one's better than me with a bow and arrow. How did you do, out there? Did you have to fight? Trader Johann always talks about the dangers of pirates."
Moana continued blinking, looking rather overwhelmed by the eager redhead. "I... We didn't encounter any pirates, I'm afraid. But the long journey was still exciting enough, I guess."
"You have to tell me everything", declared Merida with a broad grin.
"Yes!", agreed Rapunzel eagerly, both omegas gladly flanking Moana with bright, eager eyes.
Hiccup chuckled amused as he watched how cornered their new arrival was. He knew their omegas were rather overwhelming at times. It was a big headache for Elinor DunBroch, who would love for their young omegas to be tame and agreeable. Berk taught everyone to be a fighter and Heather, 'despite' being an omega, was one of their best fighters. She, Rapunzel and Merida sought out adventure, dreamed of seeing the world. And their youngest omega on the island so far, Hiccup's little brother Hiro, oh, he would probably give Elinor an aneurism if he was hers.
"You'll get used to them", assured Hiccup, patting Moana's back. "Welcome to Dragon's Edge."
/break\
Hiccup had been right about the Waialikis. They did make things more interesting. Moana could mostly be found in the company of Rapunzel and Merida, or at sea. The three girls had a lot in common. Not just their adventurous streak, also their over-protective parents. Merida's mother Elinor, Moana's father Tui and Rapunzel's mother Gothel. Literally, Rapunzel's mom would prefer to just lock her away in a tower for safety reasons and Hiccup was pretty sure that Tui would book a room in that tower for Moana too. And that only got worse when they one by one presented.
The day Hiccup's scent fully hit, his life changed. It had only been a year now, he had presented at age sixteen. Over the past year, he had hit a growth spurt and he started filling out more (partially because he was now obligated to join the harsh alpha gym regime at high school). He was no longer the scrawny, awkward, short nerd. He was still a giant nerd, as his cousin Snotlout loved to remind him, but now he actually stood a chance in a physical fight against Snotlout.
"Hi—ics", whined Hiccup's younger brother.
Hiro was laying on his back on his bed, head hanging over the edge as he stared with large, pleading omega eyes up at Hiccup. Grinning amused, Hiccup entered the omega's room to ruffle his brother's fluffy hair. Sure, Hiro was three whole years younger than Hiccup, but the boy was probably smarter than half of Hiccup's class put together (which actually wasn't saying too much because Snotlout, Tuffnut and Ruffnut were all in Hiccup's class...).
"What do you want?", asked Hiccup amused, sitting down next to Hiro.
"Why's dad forcing me to attend high school?", sighed the frustrated boy. "I'm smarter than my whole class. This is so ridiculously boring and it's also embarrassing. Can't I like at least skip a couple of grades? So I'd be in the same class as Tadashi, or at least as you?"
Hiccup was a junior, Tadashi was a senior and Hiro was right now forced to be a freshman and he hated it with a passion. Hiccup had to admit, both himself and Tadashi were very intelligent and were brilliant engineers and inventors, but Hiro was a certified genius. Theoretically, he could have just skipped ahead to join in as a senior, but Stoick had put his foot down. He wouldn't allow his omega son to just hang out with three years older alphas all day long; it was important for Hiro to spend time with children his own age. And Hiro totally hated it so far.
"You know why dad made you go", chuckled Hiccup as he got more comfortable on the omega's bed. "You should connect to your own generation. Just because your mind is ahead of the others doesn't mean you should just skip your childhood and fast-forward."
"Yeah, but... it's not just my mind", reminded Hiro with a heated, embarrassed glare. "I'm the only one in my class who already presented. You know how everyone keeps looking at me? Like I'm not enough of an outcast because I'm a know-it-all. No, I also had to be an omega. And present early."
Hiccup winced a little as he ruffled Hiro's hair apologetically. They were family, yes, but not blood family. Hiro was a young omega living with three alphas – Stoick, Hiccup and Dagur. Honestly, at times their house was too stuffed as it was and everyone constantly kept bringing visitors over; all the alphas kept bringing alphas over. The pheromones all over the den had triggered Hiro into presenting early. Or maybe it was his brain that was so much ahead of everyone else that it had decided to also release the pheromones early on. They couldn't really be sure, but it was rather early for anyone to present at age fourteen. Whining, Hiro snuggled up more to Hiccup, resting his head on the alpha's chest and allowing Hiccup to continue caressing his hair.
"Hiro, did you steal my laptop again?!", called Tadashi out, cussing beneath his breath as he entered the bedroom, just to pause when he saw Hiccup and Hiro cuddling. "Oh. Are we having cuddles?"
Hiro stuck his tongue out at Tadashi. "I didn't steal your stupid laptop. I think Dagur took it to watch porn again. So you might want to disinfect it before using it. Also, yes, I am having cuddles with my favorite brother who's always on my side unlike certain other brothers of mine."
Hiccup grinned to himself as he pulled Hiro closer so Tadashi could sneak in on his other side. Tadashi had openly sided with Stoick on the matter and Hiro was being pouty about it. Not that the two biological brothers weren't already always bickering anyway. Somehow, Hiccup most of the time ended up in the middle of it. Tadashi sat down next to Hiccup and reached over to ruffle Hiro's hair, making the omega huff and openly glare at his older beta brother.
"I thought you were getting along with some people in your class", offered Hiccup gently.
"Oh, sure, Honey's little brother Monty is being nice to me because Tadashi asked Honey Lemon who then asked her brother Monty to please be nice to me", snorted Hiro irritated. "But he's cool."
"Wait. Weren't you totally excited just last week?", asked Heather confused as she entered the room. "You were talking all excitedly about this one nice boy. What was his name again..."
"Monty, he just said", supplied Hiccup, raising one eyebrow at their adopted sister.
Heather rolled her eyes pointedly as she stalked up to the bed and sat down cross-legged opposite Hiccup. "No, silly. Something with 'J'. Jack...? No. J... J..."
"Jamie!", called Dagur out from the hall. "His name's Jamie Bennett and he's an alpha-to-be."
"How does he know?", asked Heather surprised, staring in utter betrayal at Hiro for rather sharing with her biological brother instead of with her, since she was also an omega.
Dagur entered the room with one of his slightly insane grins. "Oh, pack cuddles! Siblings!"
The next moment, the bed creaked as all of the Hamada-Haddocks gathered on Hiro's thankfully large bed, Hiro squished between Hiccup and Heather as Dagur tried hugging Heather and Hiccup as close as possible, while Tadashi rolled his eyes a little fondly.
"Well, how did you know? I don't think I've heard the name before from Hiro", asked Tadashi.
"Oh, he has it written in his diary, in blue glitter pen with tiny robots around", replied Dagur.
"You read my diary?!", exclaimed Hiro and started beating Dagur with his pillow.
"Ouch! Hey, I read everyone's diary!", defended Dagur as he tried dodging. "But Hiccup, Heather and Tadashi only write boring stuff. You have all the teen angst, it's entertaining. Ouch."
After a couple more hits from Hiro, the five siblings settled back into their puppy-pile. It was important for a pack to recharge like that, for family even more so. Especially when one of their omegas was upset, or at least pouty. Hiro visibly relaxed more, squished between his siblings like that. And Hiccup kind of felt the same way. He loved his family, even when Dagur annoyed the hell out of him, or Heather occasionally teamed up with her alpha best friend Astrid to tease Hiccup.
"I hate you all. Hiccup is the only sibling I'm going to keep", grumbled Hiro irritated.
Hiccup preened at that, grinning just with an edge of smugness. After all, it stroke his alpha pride that his little omega brother sought him out. Though he had to admit that he was now going to look out for this Jamie Bennett alpha character that Dagur had just mentioned. What had this alpha done to make Hiro flip on being kind of okay with school right back to wanting to jump ahead or skip.
The five remained like that until new scents flooded their den from downstairs, booming voices and heavy footsteps. Hiccup, Tadashi and Hiro immediately perked up at the scent of Nick Saint North. Yes, they used to play in Gobber's workshop a lot, but Gobber was just a smith. Nick Saint North was an inventor, a brilliant inventor. His house was high up on the snowy mountain, secluded from the rest of the tribes because he never wanted to chose between Berk and Burgess, and the house was amazing. It was one big adventure, stuffed with all the incredible inventions. All three of them completely adored him and learned a lot on the sidelines from Nick.
"We could go downstairs and see what Nick wants?", offered Heather amused.
Her eyes were sparkling as she watched her three nerd brothers stare longingly at the door. The moment she said it, all three were already out of the door. Heather and Dagur exchanged an amused and fond look before following the three dorks. The five teenagers made their way downstairs and then lingered in the doorway to the living room, peeking around the corner to see what the adults were doing. After all, they didn't know if this was official Alpha business and poking their noses in then would be a bad mistake. Stoick was just leading Nick Saint North as well as the DunBrochs into the living room where Toothiana Saint North was already fluttering around nervously. She looked sad, which was more than rare. She was the island's dentist and she literally always had a bright, white smile for everyone. Seeing her with her feathers ruffled and sad eyes was strange.
"What do you think happened?", whispered Hiro wide-eyed, staring up at the older teens.
All they could do was shrug as they watched curiously. The three larger-than-life alpha men sat down on the couch, while Elinor tried to ease Toothiana into sitting down too. Only moments later did Cass enter from the kitchen with a tray of tea and cookies.
"What can we do for you, Nick?", asked Stoick, voice low and soothing.
"I have a request, my friends", sighed Nick, stroking his long white beard. "I know I have never picked side and I know Tooth and I do not fully integrate in either pack, da. But... I need help."
"You're part of both packs, as far as I'm concerned", declared Fergus loudly, clapping Nick's shoulder hard. "Whatever it is, I'm sure Stoick and I can help. What is it?"
"My niece Katherine and her mate recently passed away", started Nick with sad eyes.
"I am so sorry", whispered Cass gently, handing him a cup of tea.
"Thank you", nodded Nick absentmindedly. "I had not seen her in long time. But that is not why I am here. She had two cubs and I am the closest family the cubs have."
"Will you leave?", asked Elinor with a concerned frown.
"No", chuckled Nick sadly, shaking his head. "The children, they did not take it well. Tooth and I, we talked to their social worker on the phone, she said it might be better for children to move."
"And now we're worried, because we don't really have a pack to offer to the two and we wanted to make sure that there would be... a place for them here", added Toothiana, picking on her feathers.
"Cubs? Cubs will always be welcomed here!", declared Fergus eagerly, slapping his thigh in excitement. "Of course there will be a place for them here, won't there Stoick?"
"Of course, we would never turn our back on those in need, especially not two cubs", agreed Stoick seriously. "Can you tell us about them? What are they like?"
"I... don't truly know", admitted Nick, looking sad and a bit ashamed. "It has been long since I last saw Katherine and her children. I remember, Jackson was just tiny little kit when I last saw him."
"Kit?", echoed Cass, perking up a little.
"Yes! He is fox, like you, but also not", agreed Nick with a jolly laughter.
"...I don't understand", admitted the kitsune-shifter, tilting her head.
"He is Arctic fox. Snow white", elaborated Nick, gesturing wildly and eyes sparkling as he spoke of the cub. "He was very endearing little kit. I think his sister Mary, she came after Katherine. She is a wolf cub. Jack is an omega, he is Merida's age."
"Another omega", whispered Elinor with a hint of eagerness.
Everyone knew how important omegas were to a pack. They provided the comfort and love that made a pack feel like home, not to mention they were the most fertile of genders and would guarantee more young ones in the future; something every pack needed.
"A white fox?", asked Hiro excitedly, turning to look up at Tadashi. "This is epic!"
"He's probably doing good living with Nick then", mused Tadashi thoughtfully.
Nick was a polar-bear shifter, which was why he had retreated into the mountains upon moving here. They were an odd pair; the polar-bear and the bird of paradise. But Nick and Tooth were always warm toward everyone, which was why they worked, or so Hiccup guessed.
"I have to tell Punzel and Merida about this", whispered Heather as she headed back upstairs.
Tadashi headed out, because he had a study session with his friends. Dagur also left, leaving Hiro and Hiccup remaining to wonder what an Arctic fox shifter might look like, or what he'd be like.
Author's note: It was important to me to give some more insight into the Haddock-Hamada family since I did change those dynamics quite a bit! I just adore the idea of Tadashi, Hiro and Hiccup being tinkering brothers. And I do love how Dagur basically claims Hiccup as his brother while Heather and Hiccup thought for a little while that they were siblings - so I had to include them in this.
Now, I'm aware not as many are familiar with the cartoon series as with the movies. But, really, if you even just enjoyed the movies, go and watch the series. It's a beautiful bridge between the two movies, filling the time-gap and the vast changes from movie one to movie two.
One more thing; I genuinely hate the fanon that Jack's sister is named Emma. It's such a random name, I wish the person who came up with it would have been more familiar with the author. William Joyce, who wrote the Guardians books, lost his daughter Mary Katherine and has been making a bit of a point of naming characters after her - there's a character named Katherine in the books too - and the main character of his movie "Epic" is named Mary Katherine. He also has a son named Jackson, so... I'm pretty sure if William Joyce had given Jack's sister a name in canon, it would be Mary. So yeah, I headcanon her name to be Mary despite the fact that 98% of fanfiction adapted the fanon of her name being Emma. Just in case you were so used to her name being Emma and were wondering.
Moving on; the next chapter is going to introduce Jack and Mary! It'll also give a bit more insight into Moana and how she's been settling into her new life ;)
