Hero or Villain?

Summary:

Veronica is convinced that she was a hero, saving so many people from the crushing cruelty of the uppers of society. Even better yet with her perfect boyfriend, JD
The Heathers leave her conflicted.

Notes:

I wanted to write an AU with these people and this is the only thing I could think of because I had a bad BNHA phase 3 years ago CRYS
Also because I absolutely love poly!Heathers (+ Veronica). Sorry JD! It gets kind of confusing with everything so yeah here we go before the actual plot. (For the benefit of you guys and me) I'm gonna try and cook up all the plot before the will to write flies away from me

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

      • May choose what aspects of their power she wants to gain 
      • Has a stronger connection to the rat’s powers due to being born in that year and it matches her personality as well.
