Summary: No-powers, modern AU crossover.

A string of brutal deaths brings the FBI’s vaunted Behavioural Analysis Unit to New York City on the trail of a serial arsonist. But when the UnSub appears to target a young man named William Kaplan, it becomes clear that nothing at all is what it seems...

“Your mom’s a cop, Billy; does she carry a gun?” Jonas asked, still poking at his keyboard.

“My mom’s not a cop. She just analyses people for the cops. And she doesn’t need a gun. She’d just talk to a bad guy until he gave in to the overwhelming urge to throw himself into traffic.” Billy said, his voice muffled by the hoodie he was pulling back on over his t-shirt.
