“I do not know anyone by such a name.”
“The group of heroes who put me in here… While I was awaiting my court date, I heard they had custody of my little girl.”
At least they seem to have taken good care of her.
“I would not know.”
But I suppose Dragon would.
“No?” Marquis put down his tea. “This is disappointing.”
Lung didn’t respond. Instead, he took another drink, reached for the one remaining croissant and tore off a piece to dip in the butter at one side of his plate.
“The Brockton Bay Brigade. Are they still active?”
At this point, Wildbow seems to be pulling out the references in part for the benefit of those who didn’t get it at “Amelia”. On top of it being what the character of Marquis is naturally inclined to ask about, I mean.
“I do not know this group.”
Marquis frowned. “My daughter, she would be… what year is it? 2010?”
Almost.
“2011,” Lung replied.
“She would be seventeen. If she had powers, they might have something to do with bone?” Marquis raised his hand, slashed his thumbnail across his index finger, and a needle-thin rapier blade of bone speared out of the wound. The blade retracted into his finger, and the cut sealed shut.
Huh, that’s a pretty neat power. Seems Panacea primarily got the “cut sealed shut” part, though, and the ability to make other people’s bones stop hurting.
