DC UA

This verse takes place in the DC universe. It can be treated as a ‘Location Change Verse’, in so far as what changes in Tyson’s life beyond new cities and superheroes/villians existing.
Wanting to expand the web beyond London, the Moriarty Mirrors sent Tyson over to America. Tyson is willing to do a lot for both of them. He loves them. He draws the line at working for an overseas criminal empire from Gotham. Not happening. He honestly loves Gotham, it’s a beautiful if deadly city, and he will gladly visit it, but he will not work there.
Eventually, a compromise was agreed upon. Tyson lives in Coast City, in a suburban house that conveniently looks identical to his Army!verse house with Jack, his faithful Doberman. Lily and Bobby are now serving as guard dogs for the Moriarty Mirrors in the absence of their Pup.
Officially, Tyson is there as a professor, guest lecturing in Coast City and making trips around the country to give seminars at other colleges and universities. Whilst he does attend more prestigious places like Gotham Academy and the up-and-coming colleges in Metropolis, Tyson frequently takes the time to visit smaller community colleges in Blüdhaven whenever possible.
Unofficially, Tyson travels around to cover his tracks, gather Intel, and broker deals for the web. Whilst he conducts smaller jobs elsewhere, his true place of work is Blüdhaven, working with the web to build contacts in Gotham - by supplying Intel, drugs, guns, assassinations, whatever is needed - from a safe distance.
A steady trickle of employees from the web are finding their way to Blüdhaven now and the surrounding areas to prepare for the Moriarty Mirrors’ imminent arrival.
Within DC UA, Tyson is working closely with his primary US contact, Dick Gannon, who has moved over to Blüdhaven on the Moriarty Mirror’s orders.
As is always the case for Location Change Verses, Tyson dearly misses Lovely Lady London and he misses the Moriarty Mirrors too. In this verse, his homesickness is stronger than in most, as he’s constantly on the move around the United States to get things prepared for his owners.
Whilst this initially felt like a temporary stationing, like their expansion into Istanbul, Tyson is slowly accepting that the move into America is a long term one and it may be years until he can return to London or see his family semi-regularly again.
