===Taylor joins Wards===
Given Taylor's mindset at the beginning of the story, this was very unlikely to happen, but Armsmaster is one of the few people that wouldn't have just scared Taylor off on meeting her, due to his short and soft approach about the Wards. Miss Militia, while much nicer, would push much harder for the Wards and set-off Taylor's prejudices against authority in response, pushing Taylor away. Assault would have had a decent chance, but he most likely wouldn't be alone, and Taylor can't handle multiple people socially at that point. The official hero teams represent everything she doesn't want - the social structure, the institution, a force so big that it breaks down the walls she's carefully constructed in the compartmentalization of her life and mentality. It might be better for her (i.e. they deal with the bullying), but she has a strong aversion to the idea of joining - it would take a crazy confluence of forces to drive her down that path. In all likelihood she would have come off from the encounter finding the Hero/Villain thing intimidating, redesign her costume(eg. add a Hood), develop battle plans and become more strategic with her fighting, and ultimately taking a 'morally grey hero'/Vigilante role and having Shadow Stalker as a not-really-that-invested mentor.<ref name="TW">[https://redd.it/640tqt Speculation by Wildbow on this What if]</ref>
