“Don’t be mad,” she said, in a small voice.
I really can’t see Skitter being mad about this.
“Mad?”
She spoke quietly, as if the kids wouldn’t hear, “I didn’t know where else to take them. Sierra said we had to hide, that Mannequin was coming.

“Stop.” My voice was harder than I meant it to be. “I don’t want to hear it.”
I get that. Skitter is already feeling shitty enough about not being able to save everyone.
This is my failure.
Case in point.
“I didn’t know where else to take them.”
“You did good,” I said. I sounded like Burnscar did. No emotion behind the words.
Burnscar and Skitter may be more alike than either of them would like to admit.

Genesis.
Oh, hi there.
I wonder if she’s conscious.
