Description
Some fun practice, because MD:TAS probably spent most of their design budget on the Ducks and the Saurians (I weep for whoever needs to draw Dragaunus in all those frames) and ended up with some oddly-cobbled humans who I figure I could spruce up a bit for this human AU!

AU!Natter below as usual!

Halford Klegghorn
Same old bastard he’s always been though with more agency! He’s now captain of the NYC’s 10th Precinct and was actually Mallory’s commanding officer during her cop days.
An ornery old POS who gets irked whenever Mallory tries to take on something above her paygrade as he likes to call it, but cuts her some slack and even covers for her if she actually succeeds in breaking a case.
Mistrustful of Duke, doesn’t like Mallory sniffing around that sleazebag because Duke has a way with people but he sees right through them oh yes he does.
Despite being a weathered gremlin of a captain, he takes shit from no one and during the Saurian invasion, pulls a Tyrion Lannister and rallies his precinct to form the first line of defense in urban warfare.
Doesn’t like to talk about his family, may be the reason he’s more protective of Mallory than sensible given their hierarchical differences.

Busby ‘Buzz’ Blitzman
A 12yr-old child genius who worked alongside Tanya for a while innovating new tech.
His lack of family leaves him with the issue of latching on to people quickly and he is, as is appropriate for his age and sheltered upbringing, extremely naive despite his stupendous booksmarts.
Is actually an honorary member of the Team in this AU after Mallory and Duke free him from Saurian confinement and he ends up tagging along with them to the point where they figure they’ve accidentally adopted a kid now.
Stays behind during missions, can usually be found tinkering with new tech in the lab or watching cartoons in the rec room. Occasionally provides Command Center services if Tanya has to be with the Team on recon.
Considers the Team his family, unfailingly loyal to them.

Thrash & Mookie
The same couple of good-natured slackers they were in the original! Except also rebels now?
They’re the closest friends Nate/’Nosedive’ has, with him having worked at their store and was inspired to draw his own comics by them before he was strongarmed into the Air Force by his dad.
The comic store was basically a joint venture between them which ended up being a safe space for the children in their neighborhoods, with latchkey kids hanging out there until their parents were back. This leads them to using the space for other ‘after-school’ activities for local youth ie. DnD sessions, drawing classes and a Comics Club.
During the invasion, live in NYC’s underground subway/tunnel systems where most of the populace who couldn’t be evacuated to safe zones end up taking refuge.
Often head to the surface to get supplies for the crew and scout for people who need rescue from Saurian hunting squads to report back to the Team.
