“This is strictly confidential, yes?” Carol stated. “Between friends?”
“Always,” he replied automatically. After a moment’s consideration, he said, “Amy must have been terrified.”
Oh, absolutely.
But is Carol going to acknowledge that?
“Oh, I imagine she was. Victoria went looking for her after she ran away, returned home empty-handed. I think she was even more upset than I was, with Amy taking so long to heal Mark. She was almost inarticulate, she was so angry.”
Yeah, uh, that’s.
There’s a bit more to that.
“Your daughters are close. The sense of betrayal would be that much stronger.”
Ahaha! Really laying on the dramatic irony thick here, are we?
Carol nodded, then sighed.
“Quite a lot to deal with. I can understand why you’d need some quiet and routine to distract yourself.”
Carol fidgeted. “Oh, that wasn’t even the worst of it. Victoria’s been flirting with the notion of joining the Wards, and she went out to fight the Nine just a few days ago. Apparently she was critically injured. She was carried off for medical care and nobody’s seen her since.”
Hopefully no one’s told Carol that Victoria was carried off by the teammate of a supervillain with the power to take over people’s bodies.
