Once upon a time, there was a girl who went by 004...
~~~
A new teacher is covering class- a strange substitute, who seems to know more than she's saying.
Meanwhile, many years ago, a girl named Four grew up in a lab...
And now the murders are happe...
"Good morning class, my name is Miss Quatre. I will be your substitute teacher for physics until further notice. As I understand it, your previous teacher is having to take some time, due to... stress." Her voice was soft and mellow, her vowels round, undercut by the sound of her writing on the board. She underlined her name in one confident sweep before turning to face the class.
She was a short woman- indeed, most of the students in the class towered over her already, particularly the boys- but that didn't stop the air of authority she ensued. Nor indeed did her age; at most she was mid-twenties, younger than they had expected her to be; dressed to the nines in a smart suit of grey and a wide-collared shirt of lace, the high waist of her trousers secured in place by a big belt. On her wrist, she wore an array of thick, gold bangles, that jangled musically as she moved.

The only thing that didn't tie in with her neat, well-put-together appearance was her hair- it hung loose down her back, a long, dark sheet.
She smiled then, and suddenly the tense atmosphere of the class broke. "If you could all turn to chapter four, we'll begin." She turned back towards the board.
Mike and Dustin were not listening. Sitting several seats back from her, they whispered between themselves; voices lowered to speak the moment she had looked away as the sound of rustling pages filled the classroom. "So," Dustin said. "Are you in for D&D with Eddie? Vecna's curse- I'm so excited!"
There was a pause in the writing on the board. "Henderson. Dustin Henderson."
"Ah, shit, she knows my name."
"You will not be going to Dungeons and Dragons if you are in detention." She rounded on him, steely grey eyes fixing him with an unblinking gaze.
Dustin shrank in his chair. "Yes, ma'am- I mean, Miss! I mean... Sorry. I'm sorry."
"... Right." She said after a moment. "Turn to chapter four."
"But... Why? We're not studying chapter four."
"Because I said so, that's why."
A/N: So I'm not setting a specific update schedule for this one- mostly as I haven't finished the whole series yet, but it should be quite often. So far it's an alternate version of Season 4 incorporating a character of my own. And yes, the photo up top is Eline Powell, who I have cast as this new character XD
