“I don’t know about you guys,” Sundancer spoke up, “But monsters scare me enough.”

Aw. 🙂

“Says the girl who can vaporize buildings and give Leviathan pause for thought,” Regent said, giving her a sidelong glance.

And Regent continues to be on-point.

“Leviathan broke half the bones in my body.  The only reason I’m standing here is Panacea,” Sundancer said, a little defensively.

Fair enough.

Man, the Endbringers play rough.

“You two do raise a point, though,” Tattletale cut in.  “Capes are powerful.  If she wanted to scare the locals, she’s done that.  I’d be willing to bet the ace she has up her sleeve is going to be more aimed at scaring people like us, like Legend.

Makes sense.

She wants to terrorize the strongest, target people who everyone looks up to and fears.”

And, if she wants to add some extra fear to the mundane side too, she could also make the heroes look scary to them as a bonus.

Just us?” I asked.

“She’s shown she knows how to disable powers,” Trickster said.  “If she did that on a larger scale, then-”

I believe that has been brought up as an option before, but I forget by whom.

But somehow that doesn’t quite seem like the Nine, though, let alone Bonesaw.

“No,” Tattletale shook her head.  “She wouldn’t have used the dust and the darts if that was the big reveal.  It doesn’t make sense tactically, because we could have come up with a way to deal, and Skitter’s partially immune anyways.

And artistically, it’d be like giving a preview of her secret masterpiece. Probably not something she’d want to do.

And it doesn’t make sense artistically, either.  You have to think of her as less of a scientist or doctor and more of a performer.”

Yes! Lisa has the right idea here. This is how I have been thinking of Bonesaw for some time now.
