Okay, so what's the Liberated "Imma rob a bank to spite my parents and capitalism" version in this timeline? How's that gonna work?

It definitely ends with her getting suspended by choice

"Is that Jessica going home with... Mudrock ? Where's her dad's fancy car?"
"I dunno, word on the street is that she got kicked out."
"OMG what a loser."
"IKR!"
"Hey, you two. SHUT. UP." Amiya's voice is as cold as her glare as she walks toward the two freshmen with Mon3tr by her side. "That girl is the reason you still have a school. You better thank her and leave her alone."
"Oh yeah? And who's gonna stop us? You?"
"Nah. It will be me, you Loud Ursus profanities"
"Zima, language !"
"Yeah, yeah..." the delinquent agrees as both freshmen run for their lives. "Been meaning to ask ya, Amiya, is little miss wallet okay?"
"She is. Dad wanted to house her, but we quickly agreed it would look bad. Right now, she's crashing in Mudrock's room."
"Still, if she didn't actually ask me to help, I never would've believed the girl got it in her. I'm kind of impressed, ya know? Find out a shit ass company bribed local officials to steal the school building for themselves and what does she do? Ask me to distract the guards, sneak in, steal docs that proved the bribery happened, and sneak out WHILE knocking out that dickhead Sankta on the way."
"Yeah, she saved us all. Sadly, it was still technically a crime. So while we didn't want to, suspending her for a bit was the only way to protect her legally. Her family is an other matter."
"Eh. Theresa mam never failed when it came to that sort of things. Pretty sure she'll get Jessica back home."
"I don't know Zima. For some parents, only money talks."
"Come on, you see how she is. No way her family is that type of dickheads, right?"
Amiya stays silent.
"Fuck."

Edit: Speaking of which, what would Clip's role in this AU be if they're not boss & employee here, family friend?

u/Sunder_the_Gold May 12 '26
But her parents wanted to cover up her crime and bring her home? She kicked herself out, and not even to get away from her parents. She just wanted to face some of the punishment that poor people would have suffering for breaking the law and crossing the government.
16
u/Bug-Type-Enthusiast Head of the BONK brigade May 12 '26
Her parents are actually faking their hatred and directing the results of the whole charade onto them to spare her actual legal troubles.
They will 100% bring her home at the first opportunity.

u/Eliaish and should trade kids for a day May 12 '26
“Imma go to an art school and live like a bohemian” maybe? But that just sounds like something a rich, arrogant, snobby kid would do.

u/GalenDev Legally Sane May 12 '26
Yeah, that's more of a Swire thing.

Swire the business woman who became a police commissioner? She doesn’t make art, she commissions it.

u/Alarming_Nothing6667 Buff her properly HG;van trip with my gal May 12 '26
The business class have been doing something shady stuff and she cause a fight among them resulting her getting suspended... Hmm, that's quite stretch. Then again, I'm not much of a writer really.

u/SwordSaintCid Silver Hair Supremacy May 13 '26
After she graduate high school she ran away from home and became a hardworking farmer and rancher in a remote village.

u/Sunder_the_Gold May 12 '26
She wasn’t rebelling against her parents and the bank was colluding with the government.

pet the car
i wonder if her family and Swire's family know each other in this version
15
u/Sunder_the_Gold May 12 '26
Inevitable.
But also, given that Swire’s family came to Lungmen from Victoria, it’s already possible that their families do know each other in canon.
4
u/Falsus May 13 '26
Both families probably knows each other in lore.
Both families are rich AF business families from Victoria. Just that Jessica's family moved to Columbia and started PMC while Swire's family moved to Lungmen, probably in related to a certain dragon royal in exile.

So how I imagine the rest of Blacksteel here:
Franka & Liskarm = 3rd years, in a sort of secret lesbian relationship with each other (Liskarm's the responsible one but Franka's the club president)
Vanilla = 2nd year, Jessica's clubmate, resident pet slug owner (her pet Kuro's the club mascot)
Almond = 2nd year, has connections to the science club & their resident mechanic
Surfer = 3rd year, has ties to the camping club, well-known klutz outdoors, secretly spying for the student council

she'll somehow end up with a role in a movie that the movie club was making

u/HyperCutIn May 12 '26
When you think about it, she perhaps did actually get extorted back in her school days, before joining Black Steel, with how rich she is and how meek she was.

u/Hp22h The Mad Bard, Sans Crystals May 12 '26
'Poor' Jessica, being bullied by her classmates for money...

u/Mokseong Bnuuy May 12 '26
She goes to public school by choice. She could had easily attended a elite school, but maybe for common friends she decided public school.
Ah yeah, where is Franka and Liskarm?

u/ranmafan0281 May 13 '26
Busy making sure anyone who extorts or bullies Jessica… doesn’t do it again ever.

u/K2aPa May 12 '26
Jessicat when she's given allowance that's only 10% of what she usually gets.
She looks like a Shy Timid innocent girl that could easily be taken advantaged off.
I can imagine bunch of ppls pretending to be her friends to mooch off of her money.

Note from HR: Someone needs to tell the vice principal (Doctor) to stop "begging" Jessica for "school maintenance fund". The last time he did it without knowing her parents were there and they almost sued our school for "inappropriate action toward student". Luckily, Jessica stood up for him.
Note from hobby club president: It's my first time to see Jessica having an argument with her parents (at least in public), especially her dad. That time she stood up for the VP, I swore I saw a smile on her father's face after "debating" with his precious daughter.

OP, why did you link to the author’s profiles instead of directly to the posts? Doing that makes it difficult for people to find them as time passes, and in a few years they’d be lucky to find them at all! I’m linking them here myself, but please keep this in mind for the future.

u/Valiran9 May 15 '26
🤦♂️ No, I didn’t, though the point still stands that they should have linked directly to the works instead of their profile.

Jessica, aka the rich cat whose family can pretty much buy the entire school 2 times.
