She was heading in Amy’s general direction.
Fuck.
I reached up and pulled on Grue’s right arm. He veered in that direction.
Couldn’t find Siberian’s real body. Was it really close, like Cherish had said? I noted one man who fit the general description, but he was barricaded in his room, surrounded by cans of food.
Honestly, if apocalypse preppers decided to treat the Endbringer attack and subsequent reign of terror by the Nine as an apocalypse like the ones they’ve prepped for, I wouldn’t blame them.
There was no reason for Siberian’s real persona to situate himself here. Even so, I tested him, attacking him with bugs to see if it got a response.
And yeah, the barricading would be odd for someone who’d need to move around quite a bit.
Not that I was sure that there was a link connecting his real self and her projected form. It was an assumption, and maybe a dangerous one.
Hmm, true. You’d have to ask Grue, I guess?
I wasn’t sure exactly how much control Brian had managed with his own projection when he’d borrowed that fragment of Siberian’s powers.
No. My gut told me Siberian wouldn’t operate like this if there wasn’t some link. There had to be some kind of range limit on the projection, or he wouldn’t have any reason to follow Siberian from city to city.
Yeah, they could just stay at home while terrorizing the world if there wasn’t a range.
The fact that he was supposedly in this area meant it might even be a fairly short range. If he was an unwilling participant, a recipient of a power with unfortunate side effects, like Labyrinth, then she’d have to direct him from one place to another with threats.
Maybe it’s worth trying to lure Siberian out of range while keeping an eye out for men trying to follow?
It would require more interactions between her selves, and that would mean something would have been given away.
Good point.
