Lydia x Emily

Lydia x Emily is the femslash ship between Lydia Berman and Emily Stanton from the Thunder Force fandom.

Canon
By 1985, Emily has sacrificed much of her social life in favor of researching possible methods of fighting back against Miscreants. While this results in her being bullied, Lydia suddenly shows up and stands up for her and becomes her best and only friend. Lydia supports Emily's dream of giving superpowers to normal people, though she tries to make sure that Emily does not overwork herself. When Lydia convinces Emily to take a half-hour nap from studying in 1993, she accidentally causes Emily to oversleep and wake up late for an AP exam because she fell asleep too, making Emily mad and they argues, straining their relationship and causing them to drift apart. 39 years later, in 2024, Emily and Lydia have gone their separate ways, with Emily becoming a successful scientist and researcher for her own company and Lydia becoming a longshoreman. Lydia tries to reconnect with Emily when their high school reunion comes around and invites her to come. When she fails to show up on the night of the reunion, Lydia concludes that Emily is still uncomfortable attending parties by herself and goes to her place to pick her up. Emily tells her that while she would have liked to go to the reunion, she had forgotten when the reunion was and had a project she had to work on that night, which Emily wants to show to Lydia. Unfortunately, Lydia, even though Emily already told her to not touch anything or do anything funny, she didn't listen which resulted in her accidentally injects herself with a serum Emily had been working on.

After Lydia got injected with the serum, Lydia learns from Emily that the serum inside her body was designed to give a normal person superhuman strength and that she would have to undergo special training and treatment so the serum does not kill her, but before Emily told Lydia that she could die if she didn't undergo the special training and treatment, Lydia refuses, only agreeing after she told her that. Emily also joins Lydia in the treatment, although a less painful one since Emily took the serum in a pill form to take the other superpower concocted, invisibility. During the thirty-three day treatment and training, Lydia and Emily grow closer. Lydia discovers that in the years since their high school graduation, Emily had a daughter, Tracy. Tracy's father are one of the researchers, but he could not handle the responsibility and left them, Lydia and Tracy bonded over Fortnite. Once they finish their training and treatment, Emily and Lydia's first mission are to foil a liquor store robbery run by a Miscreant with crab arms known as The Crab, who falls in love with an equally smitten Lydia, much to Emily's concern. Emily and Lydia, known as the superhero team Thunder Force, are praised for their heroics. This brings Thunder Force to the attention of mayoral candidate William 'The King' Stevens, whose campaign is built on the idea that only he can end the Miscreants' crimes.

Lydia and Emily argues again because after Laser attacks them, she ran away and Lydia wants to chase them down, which Emily disagrees. Lydia is being stubborn, she stubbornly told the people to get off a bus before she throws the bus on the direction of Laser, but fails aiming her, only resulting in them destroying a property. The news starts to doubt the Thunder Force, which made the team frustrated and Emily blames Lydia. When they saves all people who didn't vote for 'The King', Lydia jumps into a lake with the bomb, after that it explodes, but Lydia is still alive, fortunately. And when they're going to tell Emily's mom about them being the Thunder Force team, her mother at first thought they're going to came out to her dating, and she took a miniature of Emily and Lydia marrying each other
