“Branch, don’t be a baby. We’re your brothers.”
“And Poppy is the only family I have left.” Branch puts emphasis on her name, watching as they flinch back. “You don’t abandon family. Not that I’d expect any of you to know that.”
(or, alternatively, poppy gets taken by superstars velvet and veneer and it's a downward spiral from there.)
What if Branch went on a diplomatic mission to Mount Rageous to see if its people were truly friendly? (And no he doesn't go alone, but the company doesn't help... right away)
What if Queen Barb had broadcast the whole concert online? (Yes, she threatened some Funk trolls to do it)
What if all of Mount Rageous knew what went down at the Rock concert that almost destroyed music?
What if a pair of siblings were aware Branch was visiting?
OR
Branch gets captured with Floyd.
Branch's relationship with his family has gotten better. Things in general are getting better. He's got a wedding to be apart of, a police captain to make proud, a famous brother to support, a niece to look forward to, a girlfriend to adore, and a city to save.
What could go wrong?
(AU: BRANCH IS SPIDER-MAN)
