I had to cover her, though, so having my bugs near her was unavoidable.  Amy needed to be one-hundred percent out of Siberian’s sight before we acted.

Why? What are you planning?

As if she was actively seeking to make things harder on us, she took a route that carried her out of sight of our binoculars, behind a building.  Not that she knew we were there.  It was bad luck.

Yeah, she’s probably just trying to escape the bugs.

And Siberian, of course.

I focused my binoculars on Siberian, instead.  Her hair drifted in the wind.  The length she wasn’t holding in her hand fanned out, briefly.

You need wind to get the badass hair in the wind effect? Amateur.

“If the wind moves her hair like that, is that a clue?” I asked, looking at Tattletale.  “Like the dust on Glory Girl’s clothes hinting that she wasn’t covered by her forcefield?”

I dunno, is there any particular reason for it to be?

“Ninety-five percent sure I’m right on this score, but her power probably copies her real body’s physiology to some degree, molding all the internal organs and whatever else with whatever reality-scrambling-stuff she’s made of.

So the hair… is probably so that it can be blown by the wind because the same applies to their real body?

Her call about what parts of her are affected by what, so I don’t-”  She stopped, “Heads up.” 

Ahh, which means they do have some control. For example, they could decide that their form shouldn’t reflect their secondary sexual characteristics (it already doesn’t reflect the primary ones, if Grue’s monochrome form is anything to go by, unless that’s optional too).

Is it weird that I wonder whether or not Monochrome Siberian has nipples, about whether those are removed because the form is sexless? Honestly, I’m inclined to think they wouldn’t be, because female nipples aren’t naturally sexual.

just sexy
