That take on Panacea’s theme is good, but what if her song was like a rock love ballad called Victoria, crying to Vicky for help, super depressed downer lyrics, lines like “This can’t be the end of the story, girl/I got no guts and no glory, girl”
Hmm. Sounds more like a theme for the ship than the character, but could work. I do really like that last line!
Did you make this up now, or is this an actual fansong?
Taylor and Amy Team-Ups are somewhat common in fanfics, especially with Amy/Taylor shipping and Amy the fan-woobie (sad and lonely with a friendly personality just under the surface instead of rude and abrasive with an extremely black-and-white view of the world). Nevertheless the synergy between a biokinetic and a bug-controller is ridiculous: Bugs which inject tranquilizer(often enough for even lung), poisons and other stuff, flying web spinners, modified spider silk, range extenders, etc…

Yeah, they’d be a damn fantastic team.
After pressing the villainous father point, Tattletale brought up something worse she didn’t go into detail about, which Panacea desperately intervened to stop her from talking about.
I figured that was about Amy’s attraction to Victoria. Especially because Lisa’s taunting turned out right – the revealing of that secret (along with Amy’s accidental use of her power) did break up the family.
I suppose it is possible there’s another secret, involving something that can more undeniably be referred to as betraying her family than Amy using her power on Victoria and running away.
“She would probably needs someone’s contribution” (Bonesaw creating pregnancy). Nope you can make female sperm. At which point she could just be cloning herself IN or OUT of herself but ypi get the idea
I don’t doubt she could make sperm. My point was that for it to not be a clone, she needs someone else’s DNA to mix with her own.
She might be able to change her own DNA enough without pieces of someone else’s, I suppose, but that’s stretching it.
Amy could totally do that, though.
UNfortuantely Quow’s liveblog of Pact and and CodeZeta’s liveblog, the only other liveblog of pact that I’m aware of, both stopped without much warning.
That’s a shame. Though I did take a superficial look at Quow’s blog before adding them to the Other Blogs page, and judging by a post made less than a week ago, they do want to get back into it.
…and looking at the blog now, it seems they did! They did a session two days ago!
LHC and I got to talking about The Baby Is You and it turned into… well, this. So to recap: Victoria, Amy’s lab-daddy and best friend, has to help Amy out after Amy makes herself pregnant with a child that is also Victoria. They sing a song as Amy reveals this to Victoria. Then Bonesaw shows […]
This was a fantastic chapter! I love everything to do with Amy in it, and the chase scene was really good too. And then the more mobile members of the Protectorate and Wards showed up, along with Glory Girl for extra Amy goodness. Fortunately, rather than bombing them (I suppose this is too different from the plan to go through with that just yet), Piggot wants to talk to the Undertravelers, and for some reason she (or Chariot, if Piggot didn’t specify) went with Tattletale as the Undertravelers’ spokesperson in spite of all the data that tells them to avoid talking to her. That might backfire.
I suppose Piggot wants to know what they mean re: Siberian’s “creator” and how they found out, but there’s gotta be more to it. It wouldn’t warrant a dramatic chapter ender if there wasn’t. Maybe this is how they begin to set up the trap?
There’s also the issue that Siberian and the other Nine are still running around nearby, and who knows what the situation is for the other part of the Undertravelers, now that the PRT is involved. Hopefully we’ll find out next chapter.
Fuck, this situation is such a mess.
Amy. Amy, Amy, Amy. I love Amy’s character so much these days. If things do – this is against the odds but currently very possible – end up making her a permanent Undersider, I’m gonna have a new favorite on the team.
In this chapter, we got to see her development with Taylor pay off as she admitted things she wouldn’t say to just anyone, actively chose to help the Undertravelers out, and even – after a questionable pep talk by Lisa – joined them in the race against Siberian. This is major character and relationship development and I love it.
So… yeah. Next chapter, it’s time to talk to Jemily, hopefully find out how the other members of the Undertravelers are doing, and see Greg and Lisa’s first kiss. See you then!
He extended one hand toward Tattletale. There was an earbud in his palm.
Oh shit, are the Protectorate really asking for Tattletale to be the one to talk directly to them?
“The Director of the PRT would like to have a word with you.”
…Piggot. Hrm.
Well, this ought to be interesting, at least.
“You’ve joined them, now?” She spoke, breaking the brief silence.
Not officially. More like a temporary team-up that could blossom into something deeper if I’m lucky.
“I just wanted to help against the Nine,” Amy said. Her voice was small, defeated. “Can I-”
“If you open your mouth and ask if you can use your power on me, I won’t be held responsible for what I do,” Glory Girl growled.
Harsh, but understandable.
“Don’t hate me, please. I don’t care what you think of me, but hate is too close to…” Amy trailed off.
To love?
“Too close to what?” Glory Girl asked. She shrugged. Anger gave an edge to her words. “Aren’t you going to say it? Can’t you admit what you did?”
Amy hung her head, and her forehead rested between my shoulders, hair hanging down. She shook her head, but I doubted Glory Girl could see it.
😦
Poor Amy.
“Let’s put vendettas aside,” Chariot spoke. He smirked. “We have bigger fish to fry.”
Tigerfish, perhaps?
“The Nine,” Trickster spoke.
“The Nine,” Chariot said. “But it’s not my place to talk tactics. I’m just the rookie. The messenger.”
I find it appropriate that the guy with the super fast power armor is the messenger. It feels like it ties back to Hermes, whether that was intentional or not, with the power armor standing in for his winged shoes.
Amy pulled back, and I grabbed her wrist. Before she could hop off Sirius, Grue was directing the dog across the road.
Chariot and Glory Girl pulled off their helmets as we arrived. Chariot was black, his narrow, triangular face largely covered in power armor. He had the scruff of a weak teenage beard on his chin.
The design reminds me of Nino from Miraculous Ladybug, even though Nino doesn’t have stubble or power armor, is arguably more dark cream-colored than black, and his face can barely be called triangular.
So basically the description reminds me of someone who doesn’t look much like him at all.
Glory Girl bore little resemblance to any of the last times I’d seen her. There were dark circles under her eyes. She stared at me. No- at Amy.
She’s been having sleepless nights, hasn’t she.
How much has her reaction to Amy’s leaving been affected by what Amy did to her?
The glare seethed with raw, seething hatred. It made every line of her face hard.
Ouch.
