A channel had been carved out of the brick wall to Purity’s right. Motes of light still danced around it. An intentional miss? No. It would have been Regent throwing off her aim.
Ohh, nice work. Scratch “non-vaporizing”, then.
“Purity! Kayden! Not looking for a fight!” Tattletale called out. She raised her hands, her gun dangling from one finger by the trigger guard.
This might work?
Purity just raised her hand, and more light began glowing in her palm.
Though, uh, not immediately.
“Dale and Emerson!” Tattletale added.
Purity didn’t lower her hand, but she didn’t shoot either. “What?”
Hm?
“Aster.” Tattletale stood up, “She’s at Dale and Emerson. Outskirts of town.
Ahh, that’s what she’s doing. But, uh, make sure she knows you’re not behind the e-mail before Purity vaporizes you during her blast off towards Dale and Emerson.
The PRT has a safehouse there, for when a villain’s after someone, or in case some member of the Protectorate or Wards gets outed, and their family needs a spot to stay.”
Huh, nice.
“How-”
“You worked alongside me when we were dealing with the ABB. Your subordinates and allies have as well. You know I have my sources.”
Man, I wish we’d learned more about the other groups’ adventures during Hive.
“Don’t believe you. You have no reason to tell me this, you told everyone-”
Tattletale interrupted, “We didn’t tell the media that stuff. I’m even a little pissed about it. Not just about us getting blamed, but that they didn’t just attack you, but your families? It’s fucked up.
Sometimes lies are well and good, but this is absolutely a situation where honesty is the key.
Entire reason we came here was to set the record straight and get you your kid back.”
“Kaiser said-”
“Kaiser thought he’d get more out of this debacle if he turned you against us, first, before directing you at the people or person who really sent the email.”
And if there’s anyone who knows how manipulative Kaiser can be, and thus might be inclined to believe this, it’s Kayden.
