I shook my head a little, as if it could get my thoughts back on track. “Nobody explained anything. You guys were going to arrest me, so I thought I’d leave.”
Ahahaha, I love that casual phrasing. :p
“Hospital personnel aren’t permitted to talk to patients, liability reasons,” Miss Militia told me, echoing what I’d heard earlier.
“Figured as much when the nurse didn’t answer my questions,” I muttered. No use dragging that nurse-in-training down with me. She’d been nice.
Yeah, don’t get her in trouble.
“But Panacea did have words with me when she was putting me back together, and-”
“Panacea is a member of New Wave,” Armsmaster spoke, and I got the impression the explanation or excuse was meant more for Legend than it was for me, “She’s not official.”
In other words, “We’re not responsible for this.”
Interesting wording, though. “Not official.” I suppose that’s at least partially because the team is not government-funded.
“She’s the only person who would talk to me!” I raised my voice.
“I would ask you to keep your voice down,” Legend spoke, his voice hard, “There’s very few ways a situation like this can go, with a cape’s civilian identity at stake.
Best not to let anyone overhear what goes on in here.
If you start shouting, specifically shouting what you know, it would severely curtail what options you have left to you. Understand?”
Yeah.
