***Spoilers for the webserial, Worm by Wildbow. Don't read any further unless you've completed Worm, or just don't care about spoilers.***Seriously, guys, major spoilers here.Do yourself a favor, read Worm before reading the next line. When Taylor Hebert wakes up, the last thing she remembers is being shot in the head, twice, by a woman who never misses. But somehow, she's alive, in a desert, on an unknown version of Earth. Stranded far from a home that doesn't want her back, she finds her way to a new parahuman organization. There might not be any Entities on this version of Earth, but that doesn't mean there's no conflict, and Taylor's passenger puts her right at the center of it.This time around she wants to do things the right way, and be the hero she always dreamed of being. Of course, even with a fresh start, it's not as easy as it seems. Does this new world have room for a cape who makes a habit out of doing the wrong things for the right reasons? 

This is my first fanfiction, though I do freelance writing for a living. I'm writing this fic mostly because I wish one like it existed. I think the Worm and MCU universes have great potential for a quality crossover. Besides, Worm's ending was just begging for something like this.This is a Gen fic at the moment. I have no pairings planned, and if that changes in the future I will update the tags. Consider this an AU. It may vaguely follow the MCU movies as far as major events go, and I will strive to portray the characters accurately, but most of the plot will be original.I plan to update frequently, and don't really know how long this fic will go. I plan on doing multiple arcs, similar to the structure of the original webserial (though I highly doubt it will be as long!), and am toying with the idea of doing interlude chapters. Each arc will be posted as a separate work.If you haven't already read Worm, I highly suggest you do so. Wildbow is a great writer, and the Worm universe is a fun one to get lost in. While this fic contains tons of spoilers for both Worm and the MCU, it does not contain any Ward spoilers. I have not read Ward yet, and so no information Wildbow gives us in Ward will be included in this, and I would also appreciate it if you avoid giving any Ward spoilers in the comments. Thanks!
