Jack, Bonesaw, Mannequin… I found the former two in a parking lot.  My bugs sensed what I judged were Bonesaw’s mechanical spiders, tearing cars apart and converting the components into more spiders.

I suppose that’s her way of “reloading”.

There was a group of people with her, shuffling behind them.

Oh jeez, what has she cooked up this time?

Mannequin was MIA.  That was bothersome.  He was able to detect and avoid my bugs, which meant he was a factor I had to keep in the back of my mind.

Damn. And if he’s taking care to avoid the bugs, he’s probably figured out that Skitter is here now.

Although with the other half of her team here, that’s probably a worthwhile thing for him to assume anyway.

“Found them, except for Mannequin.  Amy?  Be careful.  I don’t know if Jack’s team is going to break the rules they set, but Mannequin could come after you.”

Ah, yeah, he would definitely have a vendetta against Amy because of the whole “helping the sick” thing Amy’s been doing ever since she got her power.

I was so used to dealing with my teammates, people who were experienced in this sort of thing, that I hadn’t expected much more than confirmation.  She looked legitimately scared at the prospect.

Right. This would take a while to get used to for Amy.
