Fics like to fight the battles they never could

When Elphaba receives a call to join the For Good Initiative, the world’s first team of superheroes and the pet project of the CEO of Upland Technologies, she joins for the million dollar pay check. Yes, it would be nice to show the rest of the world that superpowers aren’t something to be feared, but she's had decades to learn how cruel people can be. All that matters to her is protecting her younger sister and buying back her mother's apartment. As her year-long contract begins she has enough on her plate dealing with new teammates, public relations, the CEO's high expectations, and the team's training supervisor who promises to help Elphaba learn to control her powers. She certainly isn’t expecting to meet the CEO's daughter Galinda, who doesn’t have powers of her own and seems to hate Elphaba in particular but will still do anything to get on the team. As rivalry turns to friendship and then to something more, Elphaba comes to find out that Galinda is hiding secrets of her own, secrets that may unlock a decade old cold case and threaten the very foundations of the team itself. Or: an Avengers AU (kind of)
