** When Taylor learns that one of her tormentors was a ''Ward'', her first impulse is to "drag the three of them out into the street, smear them into a paste, burn whatever's left into fine, white ash, then repeat the process on Blackwell and Winslow." She holds herself back because she doesn't want to cause problems for anyone else.

In an Alternate Universe of Worm where powers desire usage, not conflict, a much more noble Jack Slash took over the Slaughterhouse Nine, began working with the PRT...

[[InteractiveNarrator Wait... no wrong fic, let's try that again...]]

A Heavy THWACK is Heard.

Instead of triggering with the expected Skitter powers, when Taylor is left, unfound, in her locker for hours. Feeling herself go mad, she begged and pleaded for someone, anyone to help her. Reaching far farther than she should have been able to, something answered her. Asking her if she wanted power, and why, she answered that she wanted to be a hero.

The Varga responded by making her the new Brain. Now, she makes the decisions for a variable-sized lizard-demon...

[[BreakingTheFourthWall No... Still not right. One moment, Please.]]

Several seconds of heavy construction sounds ensue.

All Right. This time I've got it right now...

The day Taylor Hebert gets thrown into her locker happens as it often does in countless stories. And like in may Fanfics thre is a key differenece...

Fanfic/TaylorVarga has an interdimensional demon grant her powers rather than a planet sized supercomputer-like parasite,

Fanfic/MaulingSnarks changes the situation and histories of earth bet granting Taylor a greater support structure than she (or canon Earth Bet for that matter) had,

Wait.. Dragons count as "Lizards" right?
