Weld nodded.
“What Armstrong continually fails to grasp is that if we do not integrate parahumans into society, help society bend to accommodate your kind, there is no point in lab experiments or classifications.
She has a point.
As bad as things might be with the periodic arrival of Endbringers and parahuman criminals, matters could be ten times worse if panic or prejudice takes hold from the public. You understand?”
Absolutely! Both of those things are bringers of chaos, maybe even more so than the Endbringers.
“One thing, ma’am,” Weld spoke.
“Yes?”
He took a deep breath. Not that he really needed it, but he did anyways. “Forgive me for saying so, but I get the impression you don’t like or respect Director Armstrong?”
It does sound like they have their differences, at least.
“Your point?”
“I just thought you should know he’s something like a father figure to me. He’s the one who recruited me to the Wards, got me up to speed. I’ve already made plans to go to his house for a bit this summer. Maybe I’m putting myself on your sh… in your bad books by saying so, but I just thought I should let you know I’ll step up to defend him if you start putting him down.”
Ah, nice. Also, I like how Piggot’s just like “yeah, so what”. It… suits her.
Another thing I like is how Weld clearly caught himself almost saying “shitlist”.
