“Whatever,” Shadow Stalker replied without looking back, “If you want to be like that. I’m only on the team because I have to be, so you’re doing me a favor. Prefer to fly solo.”
Yeeah.
At least if you were with her, Flechette, you could keep an eye on her. I get it if you don’t want to, though.
Three strikes, Flechette thought, as she strode away. Nearly being shot for saying hello, the way Shadow Stalker had delayed helping the woman, and now this.
Yeah, those strikes went by quickly.
She’d give the other girl the benefit of a doubt. Maybe Shadow Stalker had some unresolved issues, maybe it had been a rough week. But for now, she needed to calm down and wait long enough to think more objectively about what had happened. Then she’d decide whether to deal or to tell her new team leader.
Oh, Weld absolutely needs to know, if he doesn’t already.
But yes, this seems reasonable enough.
Fuck. She felt profoundly disappointed. She wanted to like the other heroine, but this was too much.
Taylor: “Tell me about it.”
