Freaky! Sam as a baddie...my mind is blown.

You know, when I started that chapter, that wasn't what I had planned. But then Sam's backstory just drove everything in 'DCU supervillain' territory, and the rest was inevitable.

Well, I suppose at least one of the alternates had to be a villain at some point (Even if it's tragic to see how their potential can be corrupted like that, certain things can push even the best people over the edge); it just sucks that it was one of the most brilliant and hence potentially the most dangerous...

Hope you're going to continue this series; the concept of how other alternates will interact should DEFINITELY be interesting...

Right now I have about 8 chapters written and another half dozen planned out.

Nice twist, Sam as a superpowered, egotistical genius. (But for the
Greater Good, of course ;) ) Luthor won't know what hit him, no doubt.

If there's a similar Rodney in this world, good thing Sam apparently hasn't encountered him yet. He'd probably top her list of people to squish like a bug.

Squishing Rodney like a bug might count as anti-hero instead of supervillain. :-)

Ooh, scary idea! Well, I guess at least one of them had to go evil :) And I like her superpower acquisition. Very cool.

Thanks.

That was something Ididn't expect.

Good! Because what could be worse than a mad scientist with Sam's brains?

A nasty and rather unexpected twist. Well done though I am looking forward to more.

Well, it is the DCU, where this is the sort of thing that happens regularly, when the Anti-Monitor and Superboy-Prime aren't on the loose.

Yeah, that meeting could have gone much, much better. I choose to believe that Hermione set fire to Snape's books and not him until explicitly told otherwise -- she always had a strong moral streak, if also a vindictive one. And it might help if she could tell how upset the Scoobies were at botching the meet; canonically, she accepted the first genuine offer of friendship extended to her and never looked back in spite of some extreme differences in personality and goals. Still, she *was* younger then...

I can't wait to see what the next installment is! Are you writing one from each world, or will we get to see follow-ups?

EDIT: ...is that Carlos Ramirez from the Dresden Files?

Thanks for reading. I'm going to assume she set fire to some of his books, until she tells me otherwise. :-)

I am sort of writing 'one from each world' but there will be multiples from some worlds, and there might be two follow-ups. But not to this story. (And no prizes if anyone guesses which chapters get a direct follow-up.)

And no, it's not Carlos Ramirez from the Dresden Files. It's just a guy who uses his good looks to take advantage of lonely, nerdy female graduate students. Harry Dresden's Carlos would never do that. He might *hint* that he is that kind of guy, but he isn't.

Interesting job on this, looking forward to more.

-You have one grammar mistake "She made sure she recalled the exact wording of that Latin spell from Hermione" should be "She made sure she recalled the exact wording of that Latin spell from Willow".

Oh yeah. Major thinko there. Thanks.

Awesome. As usual. I was thinking... What if the Buffy-verse version of Jamie Sommers really did become an inner-city teacher? What if she discovered vampires and was trying to find the Watchers?

That's not too far off what I was considering. But if you thought chapter 2 was odd, wait until you see chapter 3.

Go, Hermione! :)

:-) Thanks for reading. And thanks for backing Hermione against Professor Cranky.

Now this was better than chapter one. A Hermione that has not been through a war is a very different Hermione. Not as self confident; and just as stubborn.

Thanks for reading.

I like it! Snape doesn't suffer immolation does he? Singeing or a little worse would be sufficient.

Maybe she'll just set fire to his books, which he might find even more painful.

Not that any incarnation of Snape doesn't deserve it, but I do hope she doesn't burn down the entire building just because of him. Maybe just light his pants afire. The front if he's real obnoxious.

Well if anyone could convince Hermione to fireball someone it would be Snape! I wonder what excuse he thinks he has in this universe? And I can't believe the scoobies thought that Hermione would welcome the overturning of her worldview. They have been dealing with the weird stuff so long that they have forgotten what the world looks like to normal people :(

And Hermione was about the *last* person at Hogwarts who was willing to accept things that didn't fit in with her worldview, so she was a really bad choice for this approach. Oops.

These have been hilarious - and I hope Snape got what was coming to him. REALLY looking forward to seeing what happens when people go looking for their world's version of Selina...

That might be a few chapters away. The next chapter is "The Wayne Foundation and a Scientist". You'll have to wait a bit.
