"So you are a cape and you are going to go out to fight crime no matter what I say." said Danny.
"Sorry dad, I didn't want to worry you but I have this power and ..." Taylor didn't even try to deny it, after all her father caught her suited up, the only part of her costume she didn't have on was her mask that was in the bag she had over her shoulder. And the jacket she had over the costume might be able to fool someone at a distance but not when they were only a few paces away.
"It's ok kiddo, I guess it runs in the family." Danny interrupted her.
"What?"
"I suppose I haven't told you about that time when I was younger, before coming to Brockton Bay, when I went out to fight crime myself."
"You are a cape?"
"No, not in the sense of having powers. But back then I didn't believe you needed them to be a hero. Your aunt Mindy always said that I'm a bit naive. And talking about Mindy" said Danny going to the basement door "she left something for you for, and I quote, 'when she is ready to kick some ass'. I'll go get it. It'll be just a moment."
"Ok." said Taylor following her father downstairs and making all her spiders hide themselves.
Once in the basement Danny got a sledgehammer and started counting paces from the wall. Once in position he started to brake the floor.
"Ok kiddo, give me a hand." He said once he had uncovered a decent sized metal trunk. Between the two of them they got it out of the hole.
The first thing Taylor saw once Danny opened the lid was a couple of sticks over a green bodysuit with yellow lines running down its sides. Danny took the suit uncovering what could only be called an arsenal and said "Take your pick, but I'd prefer if you left the firearms for when you had a bit of training with them. I guess Mindy could be here next weekend, I'd train you myself but she was always better with those, well, and the CQC weapons, and hand to hand."
Taylor just stood there dumbfounded.
"Welcome to the family business Taylor"
Before coming to Brockton Bay Danny Hebert lived in New York under another name, Dave Lizewsky.
