But thank you for explaining all that, as terrifying as it is. Youre welcome, she replied. But Id like to talk to you sometime, if thats OK. Curious, Amy nodded. She was at the extreme other end of the loading area but it wasnt all that big so it wouldnt take them long to find her. Even if I wanted to, I dont think I could do very much about it at this point, and I dont particularly want to anyway. Vicky stared. Adding to that, there was just something about her which didn't quite fit that theory. How much more? he asked slowly. It was very impressive and rather unnerving. Hilarity ensues.

All you get are bad gradesAnd a bum rap And a bad rap And a good smackAnd no friends And no hope And no mom. That two and a half months since Taylor died until now? She slowly turned her head and stared at him. Amy stared, shocked and puzzled. Yes. That's as far as I got with this one. Dozens of people saw it happen but the school was so corrupt that they just walked past. Looking back at the Rig, on which a helicopter was currently landing, she sighed once again. It's made worse by the way no one listened when the girl tried to get help. I triggered, the power was a Master one essentially. It was a shock, obviously, to find that as she started High School, a school she'd picked specifically to be with her best friend, that friend was now apparently dead set on turning everyone against her.

Really, really badly. The next part was worse. Wildworm A psuedo-tinker from Wildstorm appears in Brockton. Even if it's just an unconfirmed suspicion, she should know better than many that outing Capes is a bad idea. Yes, thanks.

I was doing some data mining for a project on global health issues and I found something unusual. Which is? he asked absently, moving another part. Humans are animals after all and animals are just really complicated bags of chemicals. That was the first problem, insect senses are not at all like human ones. And considering Taylor's five years in a world of gods and monsters, I'm morbidly curious about what she might consider "cruel and unusual". Work Search: Taylor Hebert is dead, Assault.

Neither do I. She opened the folder again and flipped through the report and the stack of photos for a moment. It's a work of art. Is she a biotinker of some sort, then? I'm not sure, I guess she must be. Too often it is for worse, and hope is crushed beneath annihilation. Before I settled on the story that ballooned hopelessly out of control into Taylor Varga I had a number of ideas for Worm stories, three of which I initially wrote one or more chapters of. I have no idea how yet, but thats the theory I have currently. She paused, then added, After I found out about the malaria and confirmed it, I did some more checking. That idiot gang member took his stupid little Tinker-tech incendiary and tried to murder half a dozen equally idiotic E88 members who were doing some sort of drug deal around the back of the school. I eventually realized what had happened to me, and I think I more or less went insane for a while. Now you dont Again, she vanished. But I have a lot of experience with AI design, and a lot of what Im seeing fits some of the patterns Ive experimented with for data mining by sentient machines. Muggers!? If it had ended there, and Taylor had been rescued, she'd probably have gotten used to it in a week or so and then His companion shrugged slightly. Hmm. Which on its own is somewhat suspicious in my opinion.

Feeling a little stupid, and not sure what answer he either expected or wanted, he asked in a low voice, Are you watching me right now? Nothing happened. Around two thousand times as fast most of the time, in fact. Wearing strange clothes that looked like they'd been stitched together from hide.

I should publish it, but Im afraid that most normal mathematicians would take one look at it and either ignore it or have an aneurysm. It is a nice day, yes, he replied after a little while. What? Stung them. Taylor knew she didn't have long and tried to write the shortest thing that would point at Sophia. Thats more than a little scary he said honestly. Staring after her, he waited for a few minutes until the trembling stopped, then headed back to the Rig. I have some other things to do tonight. She mentally stalled, staring at the figure watching her curiously from a short distance away. It would be a considerably darker story that Taylor Varga although not to the level of unrelenting grimness that canon Worm is. The real trick is making it work from all angles. You did it? I did. But possibly a good thing, I suppose? Not least of which was the fact that one of her tormentors worked for you guys. Sophia, he muttered. Holy shit, she mumbled in shock. Her powers were basically concentrating on, and revolved around, arthropods and the control of them. But it's still sort of weird and creepy."

Why were they chasing you? Nothing happened for a while. Overpowered much? While the overall body shape, except for the extra arms, was more or less humanoid in pattern, the head wasn't. The old man notes that this is the first time anyone offered him the use of their umbrella, or kindness on such a level as her. She turned her head towards him, making him stare again, a little shocked and unnerved, although he wouldn't have admitted it to anyone. Armsmaster frowned a little. She didn't respond at first.

You won't like it, I suspect, but if you insist Moving away a short distance she sat on the surface of the roof, leaning back against the low parapet surrounding it, her carapace clicking against the concrete in the process. You have to be one of those. Turning her head to face him, she cocked it to one side. I think Taylor's doing a pretty good job of retiring so far. Keep the canon discussion to the appropriate thread. Oh my god, thats amazing. Did anyone else notice the Home Alone reference in Crystals section? In her case, it was the "vision" that followed. What do you make of the word or whatever it was written on the back wall of the locker? Inspecting another photo for a moment she transferred her gaze to him. Its very subtle but its everywhere if you know what to look for. I doubt it very much indeed, he told her. BBPD is still running their own investigation into the surrounding circumstances of why young Miss Hebert was in that locker, theyre interviewing the entire student body and the staff, but so far no one is saying anything. I was hiding behind it, she replied, now a little internally amused herself. He had managed to get a Tinker-tech firebomb from somewhere and tried using it on the E88 gangers.

Overall it didn't resemble normal power armor nearly as much as it did a giant, human sized insect exoskeleton, with the most amazing paint job hed ever seen. Two years of hell culminating in an event so bad that the girl who had kept going through it all basically broke. And while her passing devastated Taylor, she will do whatever she could to continue her mothers legacy, even if that means she has to discover it first. She loved reading, like her mother did, while her friend was more into slightly more girly things, but they had a lot of fun together. She wasn't thinking very clearly but she did try. There was silence for a moment from both of them. I think Crystal dropped her voice to a bare murmur. Not human. Amy paused, then nodded. The real question is: will there be someone left to call Taylor Hebert? The few times she did fight back, she was the one punished as no one believed her over her tormentors, who were well connected for various reasons. Practically instant loss of voluntary muscle control. But I pretty much got better. While shes here, talk to the rest of the Wards and find out whether they think she could be involved in bullying a fellow student. Oh, my god, thats amazing, she mumbled, her power tracing out the biological intricacies of the body she was touching. But her friend did her best to cheer her up and keep her interested in life. After a moment the figure waved at her. I may troll her a little now and then just to keep her honest but her crimes towards me are a long way in the past from my point of view. She sighed. Holding another hand above it, Hive made the appendage glow a soft green color like a firefly, which Amy realized was almost certainly from the same chemical reaction. So why do you keep doing it?

Hey, wait! he called just before she reached the edge. Why haven't you seen the sun for a long time? he eventually asked, unable to pass up the question. It didn't work, it just made things worse. Are you available, Colin? A familiar voice spoke from beside him as the Tinker peered through a microscope of his own devising, gently manipulating tiny tools while watching the result. We're marking you as busy until further notice. Chagas disease? After a moment, he added slowly, When did it start? A week before the insects stopped spreading disease, Dragon replied quietly. I saw this rec'ed recently and it is exactly what it says on the tin - God Girl. A storehouse of weapons beyond imagination, controlled by an enigmatic old man of unclear origins and an abused teenager. It was a second trigger, but something went wrong. Emotions are mostly in the endocrine system and thats a piece of cake to manipulate. Inevitably, the walls lengthen, the bars thicken, the shackles tighten. Then A little more than a year later, the girl went off to camp, and when she came back everything had changed. "I don't know Hive seemed nice." Other than that, Ive got a lot to think about.

As I said up at the top, I'm uncertain if I'll pick it up again in the future or not. Hello, Assault, the figure suddenly said, the voice female and clear. It was a sensible suggestion. She was terrified of telling her father, but she told the teachers, people who should have listened and done their jobs. Even after her death, her husband and daughter knew very little about her. In the end he said, But you said you were born here. It was strange. Her sister waited, while she thought, looking impatient. Oh, shit, she whimpered, looking around frantically for somewhere to hide. The man who pulled the pin died a few hours later from a bad case of bullet to the brain, so it's not even possible to prosecute him.
