“Well,” she spoke, her tone sarcastic, “How wonderfully fucking nice for you, that you guys patched things up. You even have a new member, congratulations. I guess everything’s back to normal for you freaks.”
I’m not sure about that, though, if Taylor’s decision from 8.8 is any indication.
“No…” Skitter spoke, and the bugs around her chirped, buzzed and droned to match the pitch and tone of her words. The villain hadn’t done that when the Undersiders attacked the fundraiser, she remembered. Her voice was quiet, which only made it more eerie. The girl held out her hand, and Regent passed his scepter to her.
Oh damn, that’s a really cool effect. Seems Taylor has picked up some more tricks from Grue since last time.
“…Things are different now,” Skitter finished.
Skitter drove the scepter into Shadow Stalker’s body.
It’s Skitter’s turn to get some catharsis.
It was everything Shadow Stalker could do to stay solid as she felt the tines of the crowned stick biting through the fabric of her costume and into her stomach. She resisted the instincts that two and a half years of exercising her powers had lent her, because she knew what came next. It’ll be worse if I’m in my shadow state, maybe lethal.
Oh right, the scepter is a taser!
