“I think I’ve been exceedingly generous, giving you a second chance. You can repay me by doing the heavy lifting.”
Honestly, yeah, that’s fair.
“Ever the gentleman.”
“Go on, now. I’ll wait here.”
Aisha watched as Cherish walked past her, grabbed the heavyset detective and began dragging him inch by inch toward the office.
Imp: *helps Cherish drag the guy*
Cherish: “Hey, Jack, I think I just developed super strength somehow.”
She only remembered one other time when her heart had pounded this hard. It had been when the fledgling Merchants had attacked her and her father. It was another chance.
Hm. Are we about to learn her trigger event?
By fledgling, does she mean the mostly harmless pre-Extermination Merchants, or the still small but less harmless ones from sometime between Extermination and Sentinel? The latter would make more sense for her trigger event, since I doubt she went long before telling Grue about her power.
While they were separated, she could go after one. But which?
Go after Jack or Cherish? I mean, Bonesaw did indicate that they’re both protected the same way she is, so Imp would have to get clever about it.
Jack might be the better one to go for even without the prophecy. Cherish can’t do much if she doesn’t notice her target, while Jack can slice around the entire room. Then again, attacking Jack might cause him to do so on reflex, whereas him processing that Cherish was being attacked would give Imp a little more time.
