“A non-cape. I don’t know the details, but she’s in a secure location.”
That’s a pretty decent way to put it.
Amy fidgeted. “I’m getting out of here.”
Aaand this is where she needs to be told about rule 8.
“Where?”
“Away. I don’t want to be a part of any of this.”
“You can’t leave.”
“Why not? I can find a place to hole up and hide until it blows over.”
It needs to be in Brockton Bay, though.
“So long as you’re in Brockton Bay, they’ve got someone who can watch you. Can watch any of us. She reads emotions, and apparently uses them to find us from half a city away. It’s probably how they found the candidates in the first place.”
Yep, and you can’t go out of Brockton Bay, or they’ll consider the game won for them.
“Then I’ll leave the city. I was going to anyways.”
“Fuck, I wish I still had the list.” I muttered. At a normal speaking volume, I said, “No, you can’t leave town, either, because Bonesaw prepared a plague or something. If you are a candidate and you leave the city, they’ll use it. They explicitly said they were using it as an incentive for the two heroes that they picked as candidates.”
Oh right, now I remember! It was mentioned in the encounter with them by Ballistic’s base last Arc.
Wait, shit, that would be one of the main reasons why that Arc was called Plague, wouldn’t it.
