“I’m reading up on our opposition.” She wouldn’t apologize, but she couldn’t keep the sympathy from her face.
Yeah, she has nothing to apologize for here (if either of them has, it’s Legend, for butting in on what she’s watching), but that doesn’t mean she shouldn’t be respectful of his loss.
“I flew up to check if you were in your office, and I saw the video. My fault for seeing what I did. It wasn’t a good day.”
Yeeah.
She nodded curtly. It hadn’t been. One could even suggest it was when things started to go bad. The loss of Hero, the first time a truly dangerous villain made an appearance.
Oh yeah, Siberian being another early parahuman absolutely supports the thing I was talking about re: strong early capes.
“What did you want to see me for?”
“A note delivered for you at the front door. We gave it a high priority.”
Skitter’s message?
“You’re taking the standard precautions?”
Making sure there’s no letter bombs or powers involving writing or paper at play, I would assume?
He nodded. “It’s already on its way to the lab.”
“Join me?” She lifted herself out of the chair, keenly aware of the differences in her and Legend: parahuman and human, male and female, lean muscle and eighty pounds of extra weight, tall and average in height.
Casually flies around and firmly planted on the ground (more firmly than average, even).
Also I’m still getting the vague impression that Piggy doesn’t like parahumans all that much, and took this job to help protect against parahuman threats more than to support the friendly parahumans, even though public perception of the heroes is one of her main Things.
This little Piggy wanted to protect her fellow pigs against the big bad wolf.
