“I’m not going that route,” I told her, “I don’t want to be that kind of bad guy.”
Oh, okay, sticking to the honesty.
She looked up at me.
“I’m improvising, and you’re going to have to forgive me if my ideas are a little rough around the edges… but two ideas spring to mind. Number one is that you leave. I’m offering you an out.”
…
Is my idea actually happening? Because if one option is leave, the other is…
“Leave? The city?”
I nodded. “Leave Brockton Bay. You have any family here?”
Oh.
“My mom. She’s doing the training to join the construction crews.”
That might put her in contact with Danny.
“You’d leave the city with your mom. Put all this behind you, the ruined city, what happened at the mall, me, everything.”
Given the state of the town right now, and what Charlotte has been through, it probably wouldn’t be hard to convince her mom without saying “a villain is forcing me to”.
Though I guess the question of “how did you get away” would come up anyway.
