“Yes,” Marquis said.
“The motherfucker has a kid?” Lightstar muttered the question, as if to himself. “And she’s, what, five?”
Timeframes! That would put this event at about 11-12 years ago.
“Six,” Marquis answered.
10-11, sorry.
Six. Vicky’s age, then. She looks younger.
Did they adjust her age down to make things harder to track? That would explain why Marquis says she’s seventeen and Amy says she’s sixteen. Though “it’s shortly before her birthday and Marquis didn’t know that” would explain it almost as well.
“She’ll go to her mother,” Lady Photon decided.
Dead? Missing?
“Her mother’s gone, I’m afraid. The big C. Amelia and I were introduced shortly after that.
Ouch.
About a year ago, now that I think on it. I must admit, I’ve enjoyed our time together more than I’ve enjoyed all my crimes combined. Quite surprising.”
So that would be why the Brigade didn’t notice this whole thing long ago. For example by realizing Marquis was taking time off from evil to take care of a baby.
His daughter, Brandish thought. The resemblance was uncanny. The nose was different, the brow, but she was her father’s daughter.
The idea disturbed her.
FUCK.
Amy felt like Carol didn’t really like her that much, or something along those lines. This is why. Amy looks like her father, and her father’s looks reminded Carol of her trigger event, so Amy’s looks do the same thing by extension.
Damn, that stings.
