Summary: 1898 New York City
Theodore Altman, proudly wearing his father's bowler on the top of his head, sets out on a rough journey when he one day realizes his fellow policemen might be keeping him in the dark about what is actually going on in the slums of downtown Manhattan. And what if some of his coworkers are even behind much of the terror spreading on the dark streets?
Being an officer himself, he sets out to find the truth about what is really happening in this busy city, turning in his desperate search for answers to a young man from the slums, a man named William Kaplan, who seems to possess all the answers Theodore could ever wish for. Without knowing it himself, this course of action will come to change his entire life, and the lives of many others...
Author's note: Written for the glorious Young Avengers Big Bang thingie! The few characters that are not originally from The Young Avengers or Avengers comics are not fictional, they are real, historical people who lived and breathed in 1898. All facts about surroundings and such have been researched, at least as far as could be researched... I hope you like it
