Sophia is fucked. With a cactus. Dry.

Any is a smarter cookie than Taylor could give her credit for.

This is an interesting "alternate beginning" and could very well throw a large majority of the original timeline of events out if the window. Very, very interesting.

By the way don't add the "Completed" tag to a story if it isn't, especially if you never mean to complete it.

Ooookay~ this is a bummer.

Wonderful.
And while I am all for de-everything-ing Shadow Stalker, often in a peticular gruesome fashion, your pop (point of plot) here is something I entertained since a long time in thought, mostly how to out SS by her trying to show that she is NOT a Master.

Perhaps it's like the Star Trek teleporter problem, where some single atoms get lost every instance and in SS's case it's like leaving a part of her in others (or something).

Hmmm, the wholesome just drips out of it. Nice.

Hooo~ expected of Piggot, but still a bit too... unescalating? Maybe the presence of New Wave helped, or that Hess attacked Amy.
It's just a marvel that the raging Berserk Brick that is Cololateral Damage Barbie has not gone full Horus Heresy on Stalkers ass.

Whoa, intense.

Years later - Nothing on that supposed rewrite.

If it is never to be completed why is it marked as completed?

I wish you could have put this notification in the description.

wonderful beginning

ok

From a US law standpoint, the locker incident ticks every checkbox except one for a domestic bio-terrorist attack - specifically that the attack wasn't politically motivated.

Any disease vector used as a weapon is legally a biological weapon of mass destruction, and blood is a disease vector. There is no such crime as assault with a WMD, any use of a WMD is automatically either attempted murder or successful murder. The prep time needed to collect the biohazardous materials and stuff Taylor's locker with them makes the attack premeditated, which means attempted first degree murder would be the appropriate charge.

Just attempted first degree murder is 10-20 years in prison, even for a minor. Use of a WMD as the murder weapon doubles the potential sentence to 20-40 years, and all conspirators in the attack are equally culpable. For a parahuman, this would be a Birdcage offense, even on the first strike.

Call the police? As a starting point, yes. And then the police would call the FBI, the PRT and the CDC.

Hmm ever think about dropping Panacea in One Piece?
