Summary
Now semi-retired from the Piston Cup, Lightning McQueen continues to enjoy life and love. He feels like the luckiest car in the world: a wonderful wife, a child on the way (plus a baby shower), and a whole town to support them.
He’s so lucky, in fact, that he is given unpredictable alien superpowers with which to defend Earth from its own supervillains.

Summary
My first Whumptober attempt. Not sure if I completely understand the rules but let's roll 😎
There are four main storylines and a smattering of standalones. I'll note which ones are connected as they are posted.
On Thin Ice: An avalanche traps Finn and a rookie inside an Antarctic volcano, while Holley goes to save them.
Brainwashed: Finn's captors attempt to turn him into a sleeper agent.
Guardian: Lightning is forced to become a superhero and it's not very fun.
Assassin: Exactly what it sounds like 🫠

Summary
All my works where familiarity with Cars 2 is required, and familiarity with Planes is preferred. Canon-compliant, but mainly this timeline is defined by a few of my HCs that I won't always use. Think of these as mild fix-it fics.
