“I do. I know a lot of things,” Jack spoke, his voice smooth, almost seductive.
Stop it, none of these girls are even remotely within the range of ages you should be seducing.
I think.
“Don’t. I know you’ve got a silver tongue. I don’t want to hear it.”
I get the sense that Amy has been able to avoid the miasma. Good.
“You prefer the alternative?” Jack asked, his voice cool.
“It’s a silver tongue or a silver blade cutting out yours.”
I could picture him holding that knife of his, the threat all too clear.
There was a long pause.
He spoke, “I suppose not. So let’s dialogue.”
Time for some talk, huh. Well, at least this buys Taylor some planning time.
Though we really do not want Amy reluctantly joining the Nine right now.
“Go ahead,” Panacea’s voice was small, almost defeated.
“What’s holding you back? You’re capable of so much, of changing the world, of destroying it, but you’re so very small, Amelia Claire Lavere.”
Oh boy, pulling out her birth name, reminding her of her villainous father…
His voice was almost mocking as he said her name.
“That’s not my name.”
I’m with Amy. It doesn’t matter what’s on her birth certificate, what her name is is her choice.
That she’s not old enough to make it legally official does not matter.
“It’s the name you were born with. Imagine my surprise when I found out your relation to Marquis. In my last visit to Brockton Bay, I crossed paths with each of the major players. I met the man. I must tell you, Amelia, he was a very interesting character.”
Oh yeah, didn’t we hear about this already? Or was that about Allfather… Oh, no, it was Kaiser, wasn’t it. I think that was in Interlude 11b, Jack talking about having met Theo’s dad.
