“Hmmm,” Lung spoke, “The healer.  A young heroine in New Wave.  Brown haired, like you.

There we go.

When I was in custody, my flesh blackening and falling off, they had her come in and mend the worst of it.  As I understand it, she does not patrol as the others do.”

SKITTEEEEER!

😉

I wonder if Panacea is aware that Skitter was responsible for that. I mean, they wouldn’t have told her, but maybe she would’ve recognized some of the characteristics of the injuries, at least in retrospect.

Marquis leaned back, sighed.  “Good god.  A healer.”

Not quite what you had imagined for your daughter, huh?

Lung did not respond right away.  “Is this simple sentiment?  A father caring about his daughter?”

Marquis shook his head, “Not entirely.  I have some reasons to be concerned.  In one of my fights with Empire Eighty-Eight, I executed one particularly irritating young woman.  Iron Rain, I think her name was?  No matter.  It turned out she was Allfather’s daughter.

Ouch. Yeeah, if the Empire finds out about Amy’s origins, that might cause some trouble.

The man called a meeting, and swore he would wait until my daughter was of similar age, that I grew equally fond of her as he had his own daughter, then murder her.  So I knew how he felt.”

Yeah… let’s hope they don’t find out. Allfather doesn’t seem to be around anymore, but some of the former Empire members might still want to carry this out.
