History Fanfic / Wyvern

** A matter annihilation attack that she uses on [[spoiler:Jack Slash and Bonesaw]] once she achieves that form.

** An instant-freeze ''cold'' attack that she uses against [[spoiler:]]Burnscar once she upgrades into her ice-dragon form.

* BreathWeapon: Taylor has manifested three: an explosive fireball she first used to blow the door off her locker, a narrow and extremely hot cutting torch that she first uses to melt Armsmaster's halberd, and a broader cone of flames she uses to roast Inago's bug swarms.
* BullyingADragon: Literally, in this case. Armsmaster keeps antagonizing Taylor, mainly by pressuring her to join the Wards, which combined with Taylor's transformations being triggered by intense stress tends to result in him facing a large, angry dragon rather more often than he'd like. He does mean well, he just badly fails at reading the situation (and then justifiably freaking out when faced with a ''dragon'').

* ChekhovsGun: Downplayed- as a vigilante, Shadow Stalker had road flares in her tool kit. She also noticed [[NoOSHACompliance Winslow is made of wood instead of concrete]]. [[spoiler: this is how she set the building on fire in Chapter 17]].

* FaceHeelTurn: In Chapter 17, [[spoiler: Sophia is acknowledged as "Code Purple"- ie. this trope. Played with in that it was already villainous and this was her MoralEventHorizon]].

** When Miss Militia and four PRT agents try to [[spoiler: contain Sophia in Containment Foam, it results in Miss Militia, the Heberts, Blackwell, Alan and Emma Barnes, and themselves getting Foamed, allowing Sophia to [[FaceHeelTurn murder the four troopers]] [[MoralEventHorizon and set the building on fire]] to escape]].

* IdiotBall: Per a recent WordOfGod, Armsmaster is "wrestling Shadow Stalker for it".

* MoralEventHorizon: In Chapter 17, [[spoiler:Sophia somersaults over it when she attacks Miss Militia, kills the four PRT troopers, and torches Winslow]].

** Miss Militia when [[spoiler: Sophia goes [[FaceHeelTurn Code Purple]] and [[MoralEventHorizon attacks her and kills the PRT agents]] before setting the school on fire]].

* ChekhovsGun: Downplayed- as a vigilante, Shadow Stalker had road flares in her tool kit. She also noticed [[NoOSHACompliance Winslow is made of wood instead of concrete]]. [[spoiler: this is how she [[MoralEventHorizon set the building on fire]] in Chapter 17]].

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11426471/1/Wyvern Wyvern]]'' is a ''Literature/{{Worm}}'' fanfic by Ack. Other works by the same author include ''Fanfic/AnotherWay'', ''Fanfic/HopeComesToBrocktonBay'' and ''Fanfic/SecurityWorm''.

* IncrediblyObviousBug: In order to spring the trap set for Taylor at Winslow, Carol Dallon gives Taylor the Decoy, a bulky neon-yellow tape recorder with "YOU ARE BEING RECORDED" printed on the side in big obvious letters. [[JustifiedTrope As the name suggests, the Decoy is not actually an audio recorder]]. It's actually a very durable remote microphone for the ''real'' audio recorder (which is hidden safely in Taylor's pocket), and also contains a tracking beacon and is coated in a UV-reactive dye. Taylor takes the Decoy to Winslow, shows it to the Trio, and informs them that they are being recorded (which she legally has to do to be able to introduce those recordings as evidence in a court case). [[BatmanGambit As expected,]] the Trio promptly steal the Decoy, only for Taylor to call the police, leaving the Trio caught with their hands covered in the UV-reactive dye from the Decoy and with the tracking beacon tracing the Decoy to Sophia's locker.

* OutrunTheFireball: [[spoiler: Attempted by Sophia during chapter 15. It doesn't work]].

* RealityEnsues:
** During Taylor and Vicky's first patrol, they come across a visiting supervillain and decide to intervene; the fight goes well enough and they successfully capture him, despite Taylor being temporarily knocked out by a point-blank missile shot. All standard stuff for superhero stories but, once they return home, their respective parents are furious at them for having taken such unnecessary risks during a new team member's first outing, and the fallout nearly sees Taylor forced to leave New Wave.
** [[spoiler: Sophia attempts to OutrunTheFireball. It doesn't work, she gets covered in third-degree burns, and all her hair is singed off]].

* BattleAmongstTheFlames: [[spoiler: Wyvern and Miss Militia vs Shadow Stalker in Winslow, as of the end of Chapter 17. It was actually Sophia who set off the fire.]]

* RealityEnsues: During Taylor and Vicky's first patrol, they come across a visiting supervillain and decide to intervene; the fight goes well enough and they successfully capture him, despite Taylor being temporarily knocked out by a point-blank missile shot. All standard stuff for superhero stories but, once they return home, their respective parents are furious at them for having taken such unnecessary risks during a new team member's first outing, and the fallout nearly sees Taylor forced to leave New Wave.

* CaughtOnTape: [[FanFic/{{Security}} Not the first time this trope was used]] [[AuthorAppeal in an Ack fic]]. When summoned back to Winslow in chapter 15, Taylor brings an audio recorder (as well as a decoy) with her to collect evidence Sophia and Emma are bullying her. The recorder is stolen in chapter 16, leading to [[spoiler: Taylor finding out Sophia Hess is Shadow Stalker- through both incriminating evidence and Miss Militia and the PRT getting involved]].

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11426471/1/Wyvern Wyvern]]'' is a ''Literature/{{Worm}}'' fanfic by Ack. Other works by the same author include ''Fanfic/AnotherWay'', ''Fanfic/HopeComesToBrocktonBay'' and ''Fanfic/{{Security}}''.

* ChekovsGun: Downplayed- as a vigilante, Shadow Stalker had road flares in her tool kit. She also noticed [[NoOSHACompliance Winslow is made of wood instead of concrete]]. [[spoiler: this is how she [[MoralEventHorizon set the building on fire]] in Chapter 17]].

* PestController: Much like Taylor gains Lung's shard and powers, he gained the ones she got in canon. He calls
himself Inago, and controls vast swarms of insects and other vermin.

** Taylor's version of Escalation instantly transforms her into a wyvern when she's stressed. Unlike Lung it comes equipped with flight and fire breath from the start. She's retained Lung's durability, regeneration, and ever growing power and size. The only thing she doesn't seem to possess is Lung's more overt pyrokenesis, instead having traded it for extremely devastating breath attacks, but even that could just be inexperience.
** Kenta, meanwhile, is much more dangerous in direct combat then cannon Taylor. He not only has her bug control, but can also make his own swarms by vomiting them up and has a very powerful insect based changer form that's strong enough to match Wyvern until she out scales him. While he might not be as powerful as Lung he's a much bigger direct threat then Skitter ever was.

* GloryHound: While, as noted below, Armsmaster is a jerkass with a point, this does not change the fact that his ultimate goal of trying to get Taylor into the wards is so that he can mentor her and partner up with the goal of defeating an Endbringer [[spoiler: He literally thinks that he'd "be fine" with half the fame]], but also because he has always wanted to partner with a dragon.

** The stolen recorder- which has a tracking device- is found to [[spoiler: not be ''in'' the locker but ''behind'' it]].

* MagicPants: Clothing is not normally designed to survive shapeshifting to a totally different body type. New Wave introduces Taylor to Parian in the hopes that she can design an outfit that will, so Taylor doesn't end up naked when changing from human to wyvern and back to human. Otherwise, this trope is totally averted -- she loses three sets of clothes on her first day alone. After [[spoiler: she beats the crap out of Inago]], she ends up so large that she ''outgrows'' the costume.

* MinorCrimeRevealsMajorPlot: Taylor, Danny, and the Police tracking down a stolen decoy recorder results in [[spoiler: the PRT and Miss Militia intervening, which in turn contributes to the reveal about Winslow covering for Shadow Stalker]].
* MoralEventHorizon: In Chapter 17, [[spoiler: Sophia somersaults over it when she attacks Miss Militia, kills the four PRT troopers, and torches Winslow]].

* NoOSHACompliance: As per typical portrayals in Worm fics, Winslow is this. This time it's [[spoiler: support structure of wood and empty fire extinguishers]].

* PestController: Much like Taylor gains Lung's shard and powers, he gained the ones she got in canon. He calls himself Inago, and controls vast swarms of insects and other vermin.

* {{Weredragon}}: The plot is that Taylor and Lung got each other's powers, meaning the story follows a Taylor who turns into a dragon. Vicky thinks it's the coolest thing ever.
* {{Weredragon}}: Taylor obtains a variant of Lung's canonical power where, instead of gradually becoming a more and more DraconicHumanoid as combat goes on, she instantly turns into a fire-breathing [[OurWyvernsAreDifferent wyvern]] when scared, stressed or alarmed.

* INeverSaidItWasPoison: When Taylor, Danny, and the police are collecting evidence of the Trio bullying Taylor- which now includes stealing a (decoy) audio recorder that the police officers on site are retrieving from Sophia's locker- Miss Militia and several PRT agents show up to take over the investigation. The PRT don't get involved unless a Cape was involved in a crime. [[spoiler: This is one of several tips of incriminating evidence revealing to Taylor that one of her bullies is Shadow Stalker]].

* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: The plot is that Taylor and Lung got each other's powers, meaning the story follows a Taylor who turns into a dragon. Vicky thinks it's the coolest thing ever.

** Miss Militia when [[spoiler: Sophia goes [[FaceHeelTurn Code Purple]] and [[Moral Event Horizon attacks her and kills the PRT agents]] before setting the school on fire]].

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11426471/1/Wyvern Wyvern]]'' is a ''Literature/{{Worm}}'' fanfic by Ack. Other works by the same author include ''FanFic/AnotherWay'', ''FanFic/HopeComesToBrocktonBay'' and ''FanFic/{{Security}}''.

* Idiot Ball: Per WordOfGod, Armsmaster is "wrestling Shadow Stalker for it".

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Possibly. If Carol Dallon was correct that Armsmaster arranged for Taylor to be dragooned into attendance at Winslow in the hope of creating an incident and getting Taylor and New Wave in trouble, then the way it has instead backfired and revealed the PRT involvement in Taylor's bullying constitutes this trope.

* EffectiveKnockoff: Essentially, what Taylor and Kenta are to the others cannon selves.

* INeverSaidItWasPoison: When Taylor and Danny are collecting evidence of the Trio bullying Taylor- which now includes stealing a (decoy) audio recorder, Miss Militia and several PRT agents show up unexpectedly to take over the investigation. [[spoiler: This is one of several tips of incriminating evidence revealing to Taylor that one of her bullies is Shadow Stalker]].

* InsistentTerminology: As everyone keeps pointing out, Taylor's alternate form is a ''wyvern'', not a dragon.
* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: The plot is that Taylor and Lung got each other's powers, meaning the story follows a Taylor who turns into a dragon. Vicky thinks it's the coolest thing ever. In a non-canon omake, Lung attempts to recruit Wyvern because she, like him, can turn into a dragon, and that it is awesome. Though that turned out to be a fanfiction written by Vista.

* CaughtOnTape: [[FanFic/{{Security}} Not the first time this trope was used]] [[AuthorAppeal in an Ack fic]]. When summoned back to Winslow, Taylor brings an audio recorder (as well as a decoy) with her to collect evidence Sophia and Emma are bullying her.

* SurveillanceAsThePlotDemands: [[FanFic/{{Security}} Once again]], Ack has a character use an audio recorder to provide evidence.
