The information I got from Threat Sense was impressive, but it only covered what was about to happen to me. Given what I saw coming, I could also infer that everyone else was about to be in trouble.

Some monsters that looked like Blasto made them would come from the back. If I moved, they'd attack me. A swarm of insects would then engulf us under a cloud of unnatural darkness.

After arriving at the bank, I hadn't been using Expansion and Power Drain to look for new parahumans. Normally I seemed to wander into them, but this time they had come for me. Or more likely, they'd come for the money in the vault.

My first instinct was to Teleport away, and call the Protectorate or something. However, I couldn't risk Panacea getting hurt. So I stayed. If I still had Summoning, I could've prevented the darkness or bugs from entering the room. But I didn't.

"Fifteen minutes," The darkness parted to reveal a girl in a black and gray full-body costume. "We won't be here any longer than that. Stay put, stay quiet, we'll be gone before fifteen minutes are up. You'll be free to give your statement to the police and then go about your day as usual. This isn't a TV show, this isn't a movie. If you're thinking about being a hero, don't. You'll only get yourself or someone else hurt." I Observed her.

Taylor was born in Brockton Bay. Growing up, her parents warned her of how dangerous the streets could be. Her parents were loving, and her home was safe. She grew up happy, until her mother died. Their family was torn apart as both father and daughter became depressed and withdrawn.

Her relationship with her best friend Emma became strained for a while, but slowly got better - until Taylor entered high school. Without warning, Emma began a vicious bullying campaign against her. She was joined by her new best friends, and they ruthlessly did everything in their power to make Taylor miserable.

The lessons she'd learned from her mother's death didn't help. Withstanding the abuse and waiting for it to end didn't work. Telling her teachers made the bullies retaliate. Taylor's only sanctuary was her home, and so she desperately hid what was happening from her father. It wasn't long before she was being abused by nearly everyone in her class.

At the start of the year, Emma and her friends locked Taylor in her locker with weeks-old used pads and tampons. The thought that her bullies went through so much effort just to hurt her and the fact that nobody was helping caused Taylor to Trigger. Her new senses combined with being trapped in the locker with no help, surrounded by insects and worst caused her to Trigger again.

After recovering from her ordeal, Taylor has decided to become a hero. She's trained her body, done research, and experimented with her power - all while still being bullied.

Within her range, Taylor can control any living creature with a sufficiently simple nervous system. She can also use their senses, and can coordinate every individual minion under her control.

She held up a spider on the tip of a finger. "If you are thinking about running, making a phone call or getting in our way, this is a good reason to reconsider. This little creature and her one hundred sisters that I just brought into this room are under my complete control."

I was confused. Her factions seemed to be at odds. Same for her bio and her actions. Was Observe messing up? I had to be missing something.

"She's a black widow spider. A single bite has been known to kill a full grown human, or put them into a coma. You move, talk, try to find or kill the spiders I just put on your bodies, in your clothes, in your hair? I'll know in a split second, and I'll tell them to bite you several times."

She wasn't bluffing. Threat Sense told me that if I moved, her insects would try to bite me. Once that failed, she'd swarm me and the four-legged monsters would attack. I Observed the rest of the parahumans holding us hostage.

I connected to them, but held off on actually draining their powers. Tattletale, Grue, and Regent would be simple to stop if I turned them into regular humans. Bitch and Taylor were another matter. I sensed a connection between the dog-obsessed villain and her pet monsters. She was empowering them, but they had already mutated into their current forms, and Power Drain didn't revert changes. The car-sized creatures weren't a threat to me, but the same couldn't be said about the other hostages.

I could probably kill them quickly enough if I tried, but the same couldn't be said about the black widows. Negating Taylor's power would stop them from biting 'several' times, but they'd probably still bite if left to their own devices..

Rapid Regeneration could heal the damage from their venom, but it couldn't cure it. Panacea might be able to purge it... assuming she wasn't bitten. Her bio indicated that she couldn't affect herself.

The first, last, and biggest rule the PRT had drilled into me was that I shouldn't do anything that might endanger a civilian. I was inclined to agree.

Ironically, it was the hostage taking that both prompted me to action and also kept me from doing anything. I'd be a hypocrite about stealing money when I'd done that very thing - and worst. The Travelers probably were going to do stuff like this again and they were my friends.

The threatening of civilians was a step too far. I'd honestly prefer to kill one of the Undersiders before letting an innocent die, despite their rather crappy pasts. A better outcome would be for me to just escape with the hostages.

The problem with that was I don't think I have a Perk that would let me kill a swarm of bugs without hurting the civilians. Or without doing so before the spiders could bite. What I did have was a little sister that could make something that could do just that. Time to call in some backup.

Uh huh. Well, at least my Shard is persistent. I'll give it that. Who knows? It might just be able to answer with something other than a 'yes' or a 'no' some day... Now why wouldn't Optimize want me to bring in Riley? I looked at my Status page. Oh.

Uh oh. I think the other parahuman hostage might have some plans that run counter to mine. Given her debuffs, I'd say she's planning on taking care of the robbers herself.

*Perception check passed.

She had something in her hands. A phone! I focused on Threat Sense. If I started digging around in my pockets, I'd get bitten and then swarmed. Panacea hadn't been. Whatever she was up to, she'd already started.

Okay. Fine. I can add some new goals. Keep Panacea safe. Keep Panacea from interfering with my other goals.

Nice. This isn't the first time that I've gotten a quest based on something I was planning to do anyways, but it is the most convenient. Thanks Optimize. My Shard seemed to be trying to accommodate my desires somewhat. At least that's probably the reason that 'Capture the Undersiders' isn't on the list of bonuses.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Is that a 'you're welcome' or are you saying you're just doing your job.

XXXXXXXXXXX

You know, this is partially my fault. I need to stop asking Optimize open-ended questions.

*Perception check passed.

Panacea put her phone back in her pocket. Why did I get the feeling that I just missed the chance for things to go smoother? The Undersiders are in the back, probably trying to open the vault. That left two 'dogs' and a metric ton of bugs keeping watch on us.

Well, all of us except Panacea apparently.

Kevin ► Riley, how fast can you create a gas that will kill insects but not hurt anything else?
Riley ► I'm at a delicate step in the last thing you wanted me to put together, but I should be able to put it on pause long enough.
Riley ► What do you mean by 'anything else'?
Kevin ► Humans in direct contact with the bugs.
Riley ► In that case, super quick. Why?
Kevin ► I'm in a bit of a hostage situation, and one of the parahumans here controls insects.
Riley ► Ah.
Sibby ► !
Sibby ► ヽ(o`皿′o)ノ
Kevin ► I'm fine. I don't need backup, just a way to kill the bugs.
Sibby ► :(

I don't think having the Siberian appear will do anything other than cause a panic. It would probably get the Undersiders to abandon their plans and run away...

No. The hostages panicking and causing a stampede is the last thing I want.

Riley ► What should I do when I finish it?
Kevin ► Let me know and I'll give you Inventory. I can then use it from where I'm at.
Riley ► Oh! That's brilliant! As expected of my big brother!
Sibby ► ヽ(´▽`)/

Is it just me, or are her emojis getting more complex? How did my party chat even have whatever characters she's using? Also, how did Sibby find them?

Regardless, time to spy on Panacea and protect her at the same time. I push Threat Sense, Ears of Babel, and Tongue of Babel. It's a huge drain that I couldn't manage without Dhalsim. Threat Sense will let her know what's going to hamper her in any way, but there were two problems with it. The first is that she might not be able to respond fast enough avoid whatever she sensed. Mary had barely dodged Mannequin after all. The second is that I didn't want to alarm her, or reveal myself. Who knew what'd she do if she started having visions of possible futures?

That's where the Babel Perks came in. Ears let me view what Threat Sense was telling her. Tongue let me Broadcast a sort of jamming wave between her and Threat Sense. It was a nanny program I was trying out, and I hadn't gotten a chance to really put it to the test before.

A stream of input came to me, telling me of what was about to happen to the other parahuman healer. It was more restrictive than my Threat Sense as it only told what WOULD happen to her, not what MIGHT. I suspected it was because she wasn't thinking about doing something differently based on what Threat Sense told her.

So far she wasn't in any danger or discomfort. Probably because whatever she was planning was still in the future further than Threat Sense could detect. I idly considered tackling her... There it is. Good. It can't detect possible threats from what she might do, but it still takes my actions into account.

I had Jagat excuse himself from his meeting with Vitruvian and teleport to our hidden base - a.k.a. another motel room. I could have my other self report things, but that would just raise more questions. Like how did Pixel know what was going on in another city? And why did he care? No, right now my secondary body was a liability since I was about to try talking to a Shard.

Why go through the effort of interacting with Taylor when I could go straight to the source? Especially if I could get Administrator to ease off on the 'get into a fight' prodding it was doing. Surgery had been pretty receptive after all. I focused on Taylor with Power Drain. Ears of Babel let me sense a truly absurd amount of data flowing to her. Hundreds, thousands, no... even more than that. One stream of information lead from her to each and every bug I suspected. The details were only flowing one way for now, but even that was impressive.

I closed my eyes and pushed with Tongue of Babel. The next moment I was standing in a school. The hall stretched further than all the hallways my high school in Brooke's Creek combined. It was wider too. Wherever this was, it sure put my little 2-A school to shame. Except for the graffiti that covered even more graffiti on the walls, lockers, floors and ceiling.

"Hello?" My voice echoed in the red-lit hall. The light that was coming from outside seemed the same shade as what I'd experienced with Riley's Shard. "Is any... being there?"

A swarm of spiders, flies, worms, cockroaches and more flowed from behind the locker doors. The amorphous blob hovered/crawled in front of me.

Fuck, fuck, fuck! It was going to eat me! I turned around and sprinted away!

DISMISSAL

I was back in the bank and I was calm.

Right. I guess that Surgery might've been so open with me because I was on such good terms with Riley. So much for skipping a quest.

One of the 'dogs' switched places with the two that were guarding the front doors. Judging from the sacks on the replacement, the Undersiders had gotten the vault open and were currently looting it. Now would've been a great time to pick the Travelers' brains. They were used to this sort of thing. Krouse would probably have some tips for what they were doing wrong if nothing else.

Oh well. Things were going smoothly, but that couldn't last. Panacea was still radiating emotions that told me she was anticipating something.

Oh.

I was able to connect with Power Drain to a lot more targets now. She'd called in backup.

I can't even blame her. It was what my initial plan was too. At least the Protectorate wouldn't start trouble while there were hostages. I might not have to do anything.

Well, nothing blatant at least. I reached out with Expansion, Inventory, and Teleportation to the 'dog' that had bags on it. Transposition swapped the contents with some things of equal mass from my Inventory. If the Undersiders got away with bags full of my spare clothes instead - well, they wouldn't have robbed the bank would they?

I still needed eyes and ears so I could tell what was going on and if I needed to step in. I didn't want to risk using Boo with a Thinker around. Heck, I wasn't confident in hiding him from all the bugs that were reporting to Taylor. Her power gave her almost total information of her surroundings.

Information that I could hijack.

Ears of Babel let me tap into the sensory data her bugs were sending her. It was enough to get some basic details about what was going on outside the bank. I didn't know if it was Grue's smoke, or the poor eyes of Taylor's minions, but the visuals I 'saw' were dark and blurry. Several forms were spread out in a wide semi-circle outside the front door. A smaller crowd gathered even further back.

"Tattletale," Grue growled. "You know how I say you're a fucking dumbass sometimes?"


Dennis gulped. "Everyone leaving the bank! Get down on the ground now!" He was ready for this. He could do it!

Sweat trickled down the back of his neck as he waited for a response. Not that he expected the Undersiders to give up, but they'd try to bolt any second now...

The bank's doors flew open. Some people emerged from the inky darkness. Clockblocker got ready to pounce... but the eight people didn't look like capes. Shit! He wasn't sure what to do in a hostage situation honestly. Before he could react, Grue's darkness billowed out of the open doors and spread out to cover the civilians.

A few seconds later, giant masses of flesh that used to be dogs burst out of the clouds and headed straight at him! Yes! His plan would work! The dogs naturally went after Aegis. Stopping the other side's Brute from taking out your more vulnerable members was a standard ploy, which was why they'd changed costumes. He could stop a speeding car, so he could stop the marauding canines.

...At least he hoped he could. This would hurt if he messed it up. Good thing that Grue hadn't enveloped more of the area with his power. Of course, his teammates needed to see just as much as his enemies did.

Dennis' eyes opened wide as the dogs suddenly veered towards Aegis. His leader tried to avoid them, but couldn't. This might not have been such a good plan after all. His attention was suddenly pulled back to the billowing darkness as a swarm of something flew out to envelop him!

He kept calm. The Undersiders obviously had a new cape. One that could control bugs. Clockblocker activated his power in one direction as he spun. Melee attacks were useless against him, and he'd practiced fighting crowds before. Admittedly, they were crowds of people, not bugs, but the principle was the same - keep the frozen opponents on one side so he wasn't trapped by his own power.

Aegis was still in the process of getting mauled, so that was who he'd needed to help. Unfortunately, the bugs seemed to have different orders. A wall of them moved between him and his teammate. Dennis couldn't just freeze them, or they'd become an actual wall, so he started swatting them to the side first.

There were too many. Scooping handfuls away and freezing them was just too slow! Hellhound would get away at this rate. Dennis took a deep breath... and charged through the swarm. It was disgusting and confusing, but as soon as he was past he could spin again.

Fuck! Something stung him! Then another, and another, and another! They were attacking his exposed face! The next thing he knew, he was on his back. Freezing the bugs on his face had been reflexive. It may have stopped them from biting him, but he really should've stopped running first. The area around his eyes throbbed, both from the impact and the bits of flesh that had been torn out in the frozen bugs mandibles.

This might not have been a good plan. In fact, he belatedly thought, it was a pretty bad one. There was a reason his normal costume was full-body.

Bugs descended on him and started crawling through the chin hole and even further inside! Dennis stood up. In for a penny, in for a pound. He just needed to ignore the insects long enough to get to Aegis. If they could capture Hellhound, it would be game over!

He ignored the bites and stings... but his tormentors started crawling up his nose! Dennis desperately tried to keep them out. Snorting had limited success, and a new bug came for everyone he knocked to the side and froze. He couldn't take it. His lungs were burning. He couldn't even open his eyes to see! He had to breathe!

Sweet air.

Dennis realized his mistake immediately. The bugs had been waiting for this and forced themselves down his throat! He fell. He couldn't breathe! Bugs were all over him! They were inside him! He was going to die! He had to do something!

He froze all the bugs touching him. A small gap was left. He couldn't see. He couldn't hear. He could barely breathe...

He suddenly felt calm. It was as if he'd achieved enlightenment. The panic faded away. He was still stuck, but only for so long. He could breathe. The bugs now seemed like a distant nightmare.


The fight outside was going well for the Undersiders. Deciphering the information flowing to Taylor was confusing. It was easier to put together what was going on from her bugs' positions. One of the capes outside was apparently paralyzed by dead bugs. At least one of the targets I felt with power drain had been in the middle of the swarm before they'd stopped moving. I connected with whomever it was and pushed Gamer's Mind. I know I'd want it if a cloud of creepy-crawlies engulfed me. Honestly, my opinion of Taylor and Rachel had plummeted. If it weren't for the continued threat of the hostages, I would've gone ahead and gassed the Undersiders and then teleported away with Taylor. That would meet most of the requirements for the quest.

Except it would look like they all collapsed and died. Reviving them from Riley's gas took a more direct approach since they couldn't exactly inhale anything while comatose. It would raise a lot of questions that I didn't want to answer, and expose that I was a parahuman - even if I didn't involve my Pixel identity.

I was tempted to do it to Bitch regardless. Her dogs weren't a threat to the hostages anymore, but doing so might make things worse. For all her bluster, she was obeying Grue's orders to not kill or maim anyone. Well, except one person, but I guess Brutes get the short-end of the 'acceptable amount of force' stick. Sure, Rachel had a shit life according to her bio, but it didn't excuse murdering people. The hostages hadn't done anything except be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

*Perception check failed.

Not again. Stupid Grue. Stupid darkness. What had I missed this time? There were just too many things going on outside...

Ouch! Poor whoever that was. More forceful than I'd have liked, but still better than if Bitch had gotten her hands on them. Still, it's a sad state of affairs when the psychopath uses better non-lethal attacks than the rest of the team. Seriously, stun guns weren't that hard to get - even if you got them special-order to look like a scepter.

*Perception check failed.

What had I missed this time? It looked like the Undersiders had things well in hand. A final cape was still on top of the bank. Taylor's insects couldn't see them, but Power Drain told me they hadn't moved yet. Probably waiting for the right moment to join the fray.

Threat Sense flared. Or rather, the Threat Sense I had given Panacea and then redirected to myself. Bug was going to swing a baton at her and knock a fire extinguisher out of her hands... Wait, what fire extinguisher? I think I might've missed something with my focus on the fight outside.

I stopped using Ears of Babel, and looked around. Darkness still coated the walls making it hard to see and hear. The attack I'd sensed came to pass as Taylor swung a weapon at her would-be attacker.

"Shit. I liked that phone." Panacea muttered.

The two of them squared off while I tried to both keep track of what was currently happening as well as what would happen to Panacea in the future.

*Glory negated by Gamer's Mind.

A blonde girl in a white outfit crashed through a window and into the lobby.

**Bug is panicking.
**Glory Girl is GLORIOUS.

Panacea was going to be taken hostage again, this time with a knife. I got ready to Inventory it if Taylor made the profoundly stupid mistake of hurting one of the most famous healers in the world. I switched over to her swarm's senses to hear what was happening better, but things were getting worse and worse. Either her power was giving out, or something else was blocking Ears of Babel. I could barely make out their conversation.

"Count yourself lucky, bug bitch, that your costume covers your entire body." Panacea whispered to her captor. "Or I'd maybe give you a heart attack. Or cancer."

**Panacea is frustrated.
**Glory Girl is GLORIOUS.

Really? I mean, I get it, but that's a bit much. Also, her scalp is right there. I guessed the latest member of New Wave either needed more skin contact, was kept in check by the knife, thought it was a wig, or just didn't see that option due to stress.

Regardless, the stand-off between Taylor, Panacea, and the newly Observed Glory Girl continued. Threats all around. Refusal to surrender. Some threats that would've made Jack proud. I was starting to think that Panacea might be a bad influence on Riley instead of the other way around.

"Could you two please shut up?" Taylor growled - almost voicing my thoughts aloud after the sisters started into some inane chatter about boys.

"Do they have to? It's all very informative," Tattletale's voice came from the back of the bank. She hopped up on the counter. "Hey Glory Hole."

**Tattletale is smug.
**Glory Girl is GLORIOUS.

Why are 3/4ths of the other parahumans in the room such bitches? I mean, civility costs nothing! Still, personal feelings aside I couldn't let Taylor be captured. I could always try a Teleport grab-and-dash after she released her hostages. But what if she didn't surrender? What if she wound up killing someone instead?

Kevin ► Riley, how's that smoke coming?
Riley ► Give me 5 seconds.
Kevin ► Okay.

Things might escalate too far before then. I still had Inventory ready to grab Taylor's knife. If I did that, I'd have to try my luck at spiriting her away... and hoping that her power's range limitation wasn't too massive, and that her released bugs didn't attack. Fuck.

**Panacea is apprehensive.
**Glory Girl is GLORIOUS.

Threat Sense flared. Something bad was about to happen to Panacea. Her future expanded bit by bit. Tattletale was going to say some things that would mentally scar her. Deep dark secrets that she'd hidden for years. Tattletale wasn't Taylor. She didn't have an Administrator Shard that might be the key to unlocking the cycle. I could just gas her and be done with it. It might not even blow my cover. It would certainly raise questions though. Worst, my personal Threat Sense told me it would make Taylor go berserk.

I should request a gas that puts people to sleep instead of a death-like state.

Riley ► It's ready!

Time seemed to slow down as I reached out with Power Drain, Tongue of Babel, and Inventory to Riley. The trick I'd learned with Teacher let me connect to my little sister through... somewhere. Meanwhile, I had to act. I connected to Glory Girl with Power Drain, and then pushed Lucky Fate to both her and Panacea.
