But I could still see through my bugs. I could still feel what they felt. They’d gathered for the barrier I’d tried to erect between Parian and Bonesaw, and they’d dispersed in the time since, touching everyone present.
Nice.
Burnscar had put out her flame, was cradling her hand to her chest. I could feel Bonesaw and Jack, standing a short distance away.
Yeah, looks like they felt something, plus whatever is going on with Grue’s power.
I could feel Trickster, Sundancer, Tattletale, Parian, Ballistic and Imp. I could feel Grue, hanging from the wall of the walk-in freezer.
Roll call!
I could feel another person, someone who hadn’t been there a moment ago. A man standing in the darkness.
…hello there, mister ominous.
Are you some sort of… avatar of Grue or something, a new body made of solid darkness?
I’d speculate on it being another member of the Nine, but the Nine don’t actually have any properly humanoid men right now besides Jack.
I doubt it’s Regent.
…yeah, no, “Grue’s new body” is actually my strongest guess right now.
The man strode forward, uncaring about the darkness. He caught Burnscar around the face with one broad hand, and he brought it down hard against the counter.
Friendly, can seemingly see in the darkness… I feel like I might be on the money here, as drastic as my theory might be.
I was dropped to the ground. Burnscar fell across me, limp and unmoving, and the man flickered out of existence.
Huh. Is he going to show up again somewhere else in the darkness?
