“I already have a name in mind for my goodie-two-shoes costumed self,” Madcap grinned. “You’re going to like this one, puppy.”
And we’re building up to the confirmation/reveal.
Assault always did seem like an oddly violent name when taken separately from Battery.
“You’re going to have to stop calling me that,” Battery warned him, “Or your identity as Madcap is going to become public knowledge, fast.”
At least she has some leverage on him. As long as Legend doesn’t take issue with that.
Madcap rubbed his chin. “Maybe. I’ll agree to stop if you accept my name.”
She sighed. “I already know I’m going to hate this.”
“You’ll love it. Assault. Get it?”
Yep, there it is! Assault and Battery.
(I’d like to think I would’ve caught on to it when I did even without the accident earlier telling me that Assault was in this chapter.)
It took her a second to process. “No!”
“No? But it’s perfect. We’ll be a pair! People will know from the second they hear it.”
Yeeah, with these names it’s no wonder there’s speculation about them being connected civilianways, even without them working together in fights because their powers go so well with each other.
