Disclaimer:i dont owe Worm, this is merely a fic...
when i came to school that day, to avoid someone miraculously developing some dignity, and
calling my father, only to have him discover i have been skipping school, i didn't pay
attention to the whispers around me. When Mrs. Knott asked me to come with her, i was certain
that it was about missing school, even as she led me to the principle's office.
I first started to notice something wrong when the principle opened the door and left said
office, locking it from the outside. Mrs. Knott sat and petted the chair near her, though i
hardly noticed. right in front of me were the unmistakable forms of Miss Militia and
Clockblocker- local heroes, and individuals that Taylor Hebert had no business or reason
talking to.
I was panicking inside, my heart beating furiously ,as i mentally tagged insects within my
range,preparing to swarm the school. Taylor may not have business with them, but Skitter was a
different deal.
It must have shown on my face, because Clockblocker said next "don't worry, calm down" with an
attempt at smiling that left me stumped. what other reason was there for them to single me out
for talk, away from prying eyes, though i was admittedly confused by the presence of my
teacher and her reassuring smile. It did the opposite of reassuring me.
Miss Militia then answered my unasked question, and i wasn't sure if it was s my first guess why
they were here, or some other reason."Miss Hebert, Taylor, is there anything you may want to
tell us?" Anyone you mishaps should mention?"and Clockblocker said, as though an
afterthought"any new interesting friends". which led my from panic towards confusion, to the
point i verbally exclaimed my surprise in form of eloquent 'what'.
Miss Knott dropped her smile, and Miss Militia the answered in a less friendly and more
authoritative tone." Taylor, you were seen in the company of a villein, a criminal who goes by
Grue, according to eye witnesses you were comfortable, and even intimate with leader of
criminal gang of supervillains called Undersiders."
i would have fallen boneless into the chair i sat on in relief if not for the presence of
the capes in front of me, and the teacher beside me.
i was shocked by said teacher saying "I understand that you may have felt disappointed in the
resolution to your complaint about the bullying, but don't you think that skipping school to
become a... a villain groupie , and go try to seduce a villain into avenging you is a bit
much?"In a sad tone, "You should have saved you virginity for someone special, not wasted it
on some stranger for some petty vengeance, especially on some dangerous, violent burly criminal
probably twice your age who ...
what!?they thought WHAT!?
I must have voiced my thoughts because mercifully miss Knott stopped there.
i opened my mouth to say something, but couldnt say to words ,too shocked by the allegation.
And apperently Clockblocker took it as a sign to contineu:"If you are scared of retribution we
can protect you, give you a token job at the PRT HQ where you will be around heroes, move you
to another city. I know that it may seem 'cool' to hang around bad boys and maybe it didnt
seem like your problem got notice from the school, but nothing good will come from associating
with criminals, he is playing with you".
To which Miss Militia interjected:"he has yet to act on it, so you wont get in trouble for it.
But he hurt people, you are a good girl, you didnt do anything bad" ,to which i thought 'if
only you knew'.
im uncertain as to continuetion of previous fic at the moment, sorry... for now I got my muse set on other themes.
the idea is to out Taylor as connected to undersiders sooner and less directly... opinions?
