Summary
Newsies — but the plot falls in line with the Outsiders ;;
Nobody would’ve ever expected it from Casey Morris. He’s incapacitated—too small, too weak. He knows what people think of him, he really does. Drove him half-mad in the beginning. The looks: pity thick and smothering as wool, and they always jerk their head away once he catches on. It’s obvious, it always was. And all the damn talk. Whispers, so many whispers—they tormented him even in his sleep. He wasn’t a kid, he was sixteen, older than lots of the others! He can do just as much as every other damn newsie in Manhattan. He’d prove it, he really would. He’d show them that he ain’t some kid. He earns his bread, just like every other kid in town—why’s he gotta be the one everybody picks on?

Summary
Sooooo basically I read this fic from 2018 and I really wanted to at least get the story a little farther.
A few things are changed but i explain it better later.
If you haven't read the other fic before basically newsies in a (post?) apocolyptic world.
"The year was 2099. Ten years ago, crime rates had gone through the roof, to the point where nobody was safe- even in their own homes. That was, until one by one, the children of the criminals started getting captured. The villains, fearing for their children’s safety, disappeared. The children, however, had gotten caught by government agents, locked in tiny white cells hidden underground. Scientists did experiments on them, gave them powers and trained them to be stronger than humans. The thing was, these experiments usually came with painful side effects. Finally though, after ten years, a small band of rebels has teamed together to break out the children who had been locked away like animals."

Summary
“Who gives a shit about what the seniors on the football team think of us?” Albert sighed and tilted his chair back. “They’re gonna graduate anyway.”
“We can't be annoying freshmen!” Race argued, “Nobody likes annoying freshmen.”
Albert leaned as far back as he possibly could without falling and a smirk grew on his face, “You’re just worried about what Spot Conlon thinks of you huh?” Race's face grew flush and he sank down in his seat.
