“Sounds like a good idea,” Grue said.  “Thanks.”

Ballistic gestured toward a nearby street and we all started walking in that direction.

Grue started us off.  “Number one, we know that they were here to recruit.  Who were they recruiting?”

Well, you’re walking with two of them.

Though only one’s going to admit it.

“Me,” Regent said.  That drew a few looks of surprise from the Travelers.  He elaborated, “My sister is their newest member, replaced Hatchet Face.  She did it to fuck with me more than out of a genuine desire to have me join.”

I think this situation is less “fuck with me” and more “fuck me over”, but I guess Alec’s not in the best position to tell the difference.

“Armsmaster is another,” I pointed out.  “According to Miss Militia, Mannequin wanted him.”

The Travelers might be among those less surprised by this. They were there when Armmaster’s scheming was exposed.

“The, uh, sixth member of the Travelers is the next recruit, I guess,” Trickster admitted.  “Crawler hit Coil’s place.”

There’s been a bit of back and forth on how Noelle’s been described in relation to the other Travelers, but it seems like member is about right.

“Sixth?” I asked.  “If there’s four of you, then-“

Oh wait, that’s a good point. Who’s the fifth?
