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...

“What makes you think I saw anything?” Tommy asked. Red and orange and smoke flashed behind his eyes, the ropes of the ladder burning his hands as he slid down, the taste of bile and fear and smoke mingling in his nose and mouth.

“You had to.” And Teddy was pleading now, not threatening. “Because if you didn’t, my mom is as good as dead.”
