Glory Girl had lost three people she was close to on that day. Gallant – Dean when out of costume – was a loss she shared with Clockblocker. Her boyfriend, his friend.
RIP.
“I know it’s crass, I know you guys have rules,” he spoke, “I’ll understand if you get angry. But… my dad has leukemia. He was a few days into some pretty rigorous treatments when Leviathan came.
Ohhhh, now I get it. I’m a dumb. Of course he wanted to hear if Glory Girl could get Panacea to help out.
He got hurt when one of the waves hit, and some infection got at him through the wounds.
He has pretty much no immune system, doesn’t have the strength to fight it off.”
Nasty stuff.
“You want me to ask my sister to use her power on him.”
“Please.”
Knowing Panacea, she’ll be willing to, but not necessarily to prioritize him over all the other people suffering after Leviathan’s antics.
“Okay.”
The response startled him. He looked up at her, caught off guard.
And yeah, I didn’t really see any real reason for Glory Girl to say no, other than maybe her emotional state – though she does seem to have recovered somewhat.
She explained, “I’m not promising anything. Like you said, Amy has her rules about taking requests. But I’ll see if I can convince her. Again, no promises.”
Sounds good.
And yeah, like, Amy cares a lot about helping as many people as she can, but she’s also reluctant to value one life over another.
