“Okay,” I spoke, jamming my hands into my pockets.

“Tell me about your territory grab?”

I did, going into detail about the play I’d made, dealing with the Merchant who had tried to cut me, encountering Battery, then returning to my lair to fend off my enemies from a safe vantage point.

Neat story, huh?

“…Problem is my range only extends eight hundred feet or so around me.  My territory’s larger than that, which means I can only cover part of my territory at a time.  It bugs me, because I know I can reach further, I’ve had times where I could.”

Ooooh

This reads like it’s leading up to Tattletale’s take on what’s going on with the overdrive!

Also, nice to have a value on the range not given in blocks. American blocks are a unit I can’t really relate to.

“Right.  I remember you asking about that, but I was distracted.”

“Any ideas?”

“One theory, and there’s a good bit and a bad bit to it.”

Does the bad bit have to do with it being uncontrollable? Or is it something worse?

“Yeah?”

“Just going by how my own power fluctuates, hearing what you’re saying about yours?  You got a range boost that day of the hearing, right?  When you went to your school to talk about the bullies, and everything fell apart?”

shit.

That, and on the day of the Endbringer, immediately after the Undersiders had a falling out.

Yeeah, that’s a bit of a steep price to pay for extended range.

So does this have to do with the power starting to crave being used when she gets enraged?
