Could we escape under a cover of my bugs and Grue’s darkness? I didn’t think Siberian would be able to see us, and if we surprised them, ran back the way we came-
Wouldn’t work, Cherish would track you.
“What’s this?” Cherish asked, cutting off my train of thought. “Someone thinks she’s had a clever idea. A bit of hope and inspiration there.”
Heh, wow.
“Who?” Jack asked.
“When I looked at her with my power, before, I called her the Worm.
Relatable. :p
She spent some time being as low on the food chain as you can get while still being able to move under her own power. As low as someone can get while still having an identity of their own.
…that’s not really fair, is it?
Hm. Alright, she’s not super high up, but she’s still got people lower than her in the villain power structure. Both literal subordinates and people who are just worse villains, like Über and Leet.
But she’s realized she’s poisonous, dangerous in her own unique way. She’s useful, like a silkworm we harvest or an earthworm who works our gardens. She’s even realized she’s not alone, so long as she looks for friends among other dirty… contemptible creatures.
I wonder what Cherish would think if she’d read everything we have. For one thing, the friends are a big part of what brought her into this.
…
Or maybe that’s what she’s saying. Maybe this analogy stretches back a bit further, to when she first became a villain, realizing she had the power to do things and that she was not as lonely when among the villains.
Speaking of which, I forgot to say hi, little brother.”
“Fuck you, Cherie.”
Are we sure Burnscar is the one with the fire powers? Because Cherish is inflicting burns left and right.
