I drifted toward Legend, raising my hands over my head to show I meant no harm.
“Hey Legend, what the fuck?”
“Thank you for the assistance,” he spoke, when I was in earshot. “Some was misguided or off target, but it did make a difference.”
He’s a seriously good dude. He and Weld. I really like that he acknowledges Taylor’s help and makes it clear that he appreciates it, even though she’s supposedly a villain.
I do suppose he has a lot of experience working with villains in Endbringer fights and the like.
I could only nod.
He put one hand to his ear, then paused for several long seconds. When he spoke, it was vague. “Acknowledged.”
Oh jeez, he’s still got Piggot in his ear, probably telling him not to be too chummy with Taylor or something. If it’s not just “we’re done bombing now”.
I waited, staring down at the disaster area below.
“Crawler and Mannequin observed to be in the blast site.”
Oh, nice, got all of them! I wonder if any of them are going to make it.
I mean, Crawler’s likely to, but even he’s vulnerable to stuff like time stops.
“How did they disengage while keeping them there? They- they did disengage?”
I should hope so. Piggot isn’t that stupid. And if she was planning to deliberately get rid of the heroes in the same go (which goes against a lot of what I said when talking about her and the Incredibles), she wouldn’t have told Legend ahead of time. And there are plenty of other people involved in actually doing this, so it’d be quite easily traced back to her.
