hmmm. i was fairly confident that Professor Haywire was canonically an Aleph native (explaining why the main universe in the serial is Earth B and not Earth A), but the not only can't I find a reference to that in the wiki, but apparently WoG is that part of Haywire's power is that three versions of him existed in different universes and had some sort of telepathic connection. so presumably there's at least three universes where there was a native Professor Haywire, powers and all, and it's never specified which they are. and priors definitely favour Bet as one of them, given it's the universe with the most capes.

I mean I stand by my inference based on the information available in canon but since I have not been able to find whatever other hint I thought there was and it's entirely possible it never existed, I was more confident than warranted.

Edit: while I'm talking about WoG stuff, apparently wildbow has stated that Wards mostly have half-day classes and their parents do not necessarily know they are Wards. this works under cover of doing some kind of internship stuff with local government or businesses. this is not public knowledge, i think (in the link WB talks about how tattletale did not expect as many wards at the bank as there were, because she did not know that most of them weren't even in school)

I have not yet read a fic with a Wards PoV that gets this 'right'. Not that I blame them, WoG is not canon and nobody has the time to keep up with every last thing wildbow has ever said, just find it curious which things happen to percolate through to the official fanon and which don't.
