In the brief period of silence that followed, while we got ourselves ready, a voice broke through, “Victoria-”
Oh boy, this could be interesting. Is Amy going to side with the Undertravelers regarding this being super fucked up, while Victoria sides with Piggot?
“Don’t,” Glory Girl snapped. “I didn’t tell anyone what you did, but that’s the last nice thing I’m going to do for you, understand?
Oh, alright. I’m sure the rest of the family knows something’s up between them, though, even worse than it already was.
We’re not teammates. We’re not sisters. We’re not friends.”
Ow.
“I’m sorry, Amy,” Tattletale said, “But we’ve got to go.”
“I’ll go with you”? Perhaps more stuttery?
We were moving a minute later, leaving the squad of heroes behind. Looking over my shoulder, I could see them getting in formation, clustering around Cache, who was regaining consciousness.
Aw, guess not. Fair enough. She’s had enough danger for a day without running straight into a zone that’s about to be bombed to hell and back in order to save some villains she has no reason to care for.
Only Glory Girl stood apart, her arms folded.
Wasn’t quite sure about the story there, but I was getting a sense of it.
Amy did something to Glory Girl and things went to shit between them.
That’s like a quarter of the story at most.
I could feel Amy tapping my arm.
!!
She did go with them!
Hell yes.
“What?” I had to raise my voice to be heard.
“Drop me off,” she spoke into my ear.
Dang it. I knew that might be coming.
I’m getting jerked around here, though…
But yeah, I can’t blame her.
It took a few seconds to get the message to Grue and come to a complete stop. Tattletale stopped Bentley a hundred feet ahead. Trickster and Sundancer looked back with mild curiosity. Their costumes didn’t reveal much about their expressions.
I mean, she’s not quite an Undertraveler. She agreed to help you against Siberian, but this is something entirely different.
I do think the range relays are going to come in handy, though, somehow.
