Powers
[ kate as some kind of weather witch could be fun! ]
[Look, she's just here to tell you she's known about your powers way before you screwed up and watch you stumble as you try to deny it.
We can give her superpowers instead if you want to find her out, but yeah, her main superpower is Sherlockian deduction, so none of your secrets were ever safe for long.]

[Down to play this however you want! An AU Loki is a villain/ hero with a secret/ alt civilian identity, the secret being discovered is his Jotun heritage, some other thing, whatever!]
[I don't let this kid out often, but this seems like a good place for it.]
[Letting Killjoys have powers is a terrible idea, but that's exactly why we should do it.]
[Witnesses to his reverse-dying are uhhh generally not good. Also likely to have Joe on hand to run interference, so you might end up with both.]
[Probably the witness, but could be either. Regardless: he's good at believing unbelievable things.]
['Came Back Wrong' is always an option, in which case she's going to be as surprised by powers as anyone else!]
There were exactly two people Chrissy trusted to believe her if she had another premonition, and none of them were members of her own family.
The first was Steve Harrington, who she didn't know well even despite their parents going to the same church when they were children, but he'd believed her when she'd said he should take a different route home than he usually did just before summer break the year before. Despite being an upperclassman he'd actually listened to her and in doing so had avoided a dead tree taking down power lines across the road and subsequently killing power to three neighborhoods in the process. By all reports it had come down about the same time Steve would have been racing through on his way home.
The second was Eddie Munson who had given her some much-needed encouragement and perspective before the middle school talent show, her mother had grudgingly commended her on her attempts to bring 'that Munson boy' into the fold, while at the same time declaring it a lost cause.
Of course, the fact that Chrissy had been making predictions since she was twelve -most of them correct, whether people believed her warnings or not- did, eventually, get back to her mother, and she was taken out of school effective immediately, she would be doing home study -or if she didn't stop having visions going to the same Catholic school her mother had gone to- after Spring Break. If just not having these visions had been an option she would have stopped already, but that wasn't really an argument she could make to her mother.
No one really knew what it was about Hawkins that seemed to produce so many Mutants, though the general consensus was that it was whatever that the National Lab had been doing back during the war and had, so they claimed, stopped doing some decades earlier. But regardless of what it was that was causing it, visits from Xavier's School recruitment teams were nothing new, they'd gotten Barb Holland two years before, and word was that they'd been to talk to see Joyce Byers more than once, but Chrissy wasn't sure what was going on there. All she knew was that she conveniently wasn't home when they came to talk to her.
Or, more accurately, she had been locked in her room while her mother did everything but slam the door in their faces directly.
But that night, she had the clearest vision she could remember having, it wasn't just vague feelings or rough predictions, it was bright and clear and almost felt real. Riding shotgun in Eddie's shitty van, Eddie performing a drum solo on the steering wheel, singing along to whatever was blaring from the stereo -not that she recognized it- and Steve Harrington leaning over the back of the seats, both of them laughing bright and freely at these antics as the 'now leaving Indiana' sign breezed past outside the window.
She didn't have an actual plan, there wasn't time for something like that, instead she threw the few belongings she actually considered hers, along with the babysitting money she had stashed in the back of her underwear drawer, and a couple changes of clothes all in her school bag, waiting until she knew everyone else in the house was asleep to wiggle her way out the bathroom window and down the trellis, the same way she'd been doing since middle school and hiked her way to the trailer park, hoping against hope that Eddie would actually believe her, and that she wouldn't be waking anyone else up, considering the hour.
Not only was Eddie actually up -he'd also been visited by a pickup team, but had declined the invitation himself and was maybe re-thinking that decision- but more importantly, as she'd hoped, he believed her. Which was when they came up with an actual plan for the next day, which was, essentially, casing the Harrington house to wait for Steve and spring the escape-slash-rescue-slash-runaway plan on him. It also meant keeping Chrissy hidden in the back of the van, because her mother would undoubtedly realize she was missing when she wasn't at breakfast, but there was no reason to believe she'd suspect Eddie first, as that friendship had, supposedly, been ended due to Eddie being irredeemable.

[Look I'm not entirely convinced he doesn't have some kind of abilities. Though if it's not a case of metahumans are a known -if rare- occurrence, he's probably going to assume it's a dream.]
[Some of her best friends have superpowers! Which means she's been witness to many an overload.]
[Her powers don't generally lead to any kind of bleeding, but she's still been known to wear herself out.]
[Probably the witness, but look if he survived who knows what kind of powers he got from that.]
[He's a ghost, so anyone who witnesses any of his abilities would probably have to be able to see him in general. Same goes for being the witness himself, he'll probably just think it's brilliant and will say so, because that's the kind of friend he is.]
[She's got the powers, but if she's witness to someone else's she'll be as helpful as she can.]
[There's not supposed to be witnesses when he comes back from the dead, and Nicky is likely nearby as well, so you could get two for the price of one.]
[Probably the witness, considering that her whole deal is patching up vigilantes.]
Gemini's been hiding behind this face for the last three months. For the first two she'd always been looking over her shoulder, afraid that HYDRA might come for her at any moment. It's only in the last few weeks that she's started to relax a little, think that maybe she can start to think of forging a new life for herself.
All of that comes to an end without warning as a car comes flying round a corner and smacks into the middle aged Asian woman she appears to be, sending her flying like a rag doll to impact against a streetlight pole. It doesn't hurt, not when her body's more rubber than flesh and blood, absorbing the blow like it's nothing.
"Fuck."
She growls, wrenching her head up at a truly grotesque neck-breaking angle to peer at the car in anger and alarm. Her cover's most definitely blown, but her concern for the moment is whether the attack was deliberate, an attempt by HYDRA to drive her out into the open perhaps? It's probably a good thing she doesn't have any hormones, otherwise she's likely be in full-on panic mode.

[His powers are less visible than his siblings' are, but that doesn't mean much.]
[Shawn is naturally hyper-perceptive. He picks up on small things and deduce the truth from it. So him being a witness feels natural. But I wouldn't say no to playing him out with actual psychic abilities such as telepathy.]
