Summary

A series of non-chronological stories set in the same AU.

The F4 were neither heroes nor villains, but they still had powers. One day, they get blackmailed by a mysterious Boss into being superheroes on the weekends (and sometimes Friday nights). Not really about the hero stuff, mostly just fluff between the 4.

Featuring: Good Paddywhack! But still feeds on misery, so that's a hard balance for him.

Notes

Okay, this is long but important.

Civilian identities:
Elmo
Jack
Reginald or Doc
Bud

Hero Identities:
Megavolt
Quackerjack
Nightshade
Liquidator

Likky's got a psychological condition that causes him to stutter when he's not being all salesman-y.

Quackerjack is a lot calmer/less moodswingy, partially due to the influence of good!Paddywhack throughout his childhood. Oh, Quacky woke Paddywhack up as a child, and the Spirit grew fond of him and decided to become his secret guardian. He didn't manage to stay secret long.

Quacky and Megs were dating, but otherwise the F4 met after being blackmailed. They're still all learning about each other.

Bushroot's bisexual.
Liquidator's straight and married.
Quackerjack's gay.
Megavolt's clueless but in love with QJ.
Paddywhack's pan, and doesn't really understand mortal concepts of preference.

Chapter 2: Doctor Or Doctor? (Mini chapter)

Just what sort of Doctor is ol' Reggie?

Reginald sighed, opening the white case and pulling out a roll of bandages. He knelt down and started wrapping them around Jack's leg.

“I… thought you weren't that kind of doctor?” Jack asked, staring.

“I wasn't, but it's not like I can exactly go to a hospital.” Reg shrugged. “Over the years, I've sorta taught myself first aid, basic surgery, herbal remedies…. I could probably be an actual doctor, if I wanted to. And could show my face in public.”
