''One More Trigger'' is a ''Literature/{{Worm}}'' fanfic by Tropers/{{ack1308}}, published on Website/FanFictionDotNet ([[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10072620/ here]]), Website/SpaceBattlesDotCom ([[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/one-more-trigger-worm-au.284428/ here]]), and Sandbox/SufficientVelocityDotCom ([[https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/one-more-trigger-worm-au.3830/ here]]).
When Emma Barnes and her father are cornered in an alleyway, before she can be rescued by Shadow Stalker, Emma triggers with powers of her own, and fights the gang members off by herself. [[ForWantOfANail As a result]], she's not impressed by Shadow Stalker's offers of friendship, and instead she holds even closer to her best friend, Taylor Hebert...

!! The Samaritans have planned for these tropes:
* AdaptationalHeroism: With Sophia never getting a foothold in Emma's life, and with her traumatic experience cut short, instead of casting aside Taylor's friendship and bullying her mercilessly for years, Emma values her more than ever. The two of them and Madison Clements form the core of an independent hero team together.
* LeeroyJenkins: Glory Girl isn't impressed by the Samaritans' insistence on caution and teamwork, and nearly gets kicked out of their first mission for trying to fly ahead. [[spoiler:When she sees the Tinkertech lasers that Coil's mercenaries have, she starts to realise how lethal that could have been.]]
--> '''Glory Girl:''' Whatever happened to ‘hit them till they fall down’? Because you don’t need a plan to do that at all.
* MortonsFork: A truly karmic example, when Tattletale calls Coil and tells him that she has the information she was sent to get, and that she needs to be extracted. [[spoiler:He splits the timeline, with one version sending a pickup and the other refusing, figuring that whether she's betrayed him or not, he'll just keep whichever one works out better. But the call was actually just to ensure that he would be distracted by her, while the Samaritans hit his base. Whether he's distracted by sending the vehicle for her, or distracted by arranging to silence her, it doesn't matter. Furthermore, unbeknownst to Tattletale, the very fact that he split the timeline for her meant he was already doomed, since he had to drop his "safe" timeline to do it.]]
