Rebecca stared at Taylor Hebert, Tagg at her side. Taylor was talking, but for some reason this was...
Everything was falling apart and this fifteen year old thought she had the answers? She sounded as bad as...
Oh God, she sounds just like I did when I had taken my vial at 14. Right before the Chicken Ranch Fiasco.
And then, Rebecca felt something go skritch in her mind.
Tagg wasn't saying anything, but next to me, I could feel Calle tensing. They weren't going for my deal and Lisa had-
"That's your plan?" Alexandria sounded...
Wow, she sounded like Blackwell had the time Winslow had had a pet show and Bitch and Hookwolf had shown up at the same time.
"What?"
"Take my first offer or I attack the PRT with mercenaries?" Alexandria stared at me and then spoke in a high falsetto. "Oh, the PRT, you know, the NATION-WIDE ORGANIZATION will just go, wow, we can't do anything now, the teenagers have mercenaries! Whatever are we going to do about some guys with guns! I guess we have to leave the city with the portal to another world!"
"Err..."
"This was Sarah Livesy's plan, wasn't it! Miss I'm going to take my super brain and go shoplifting!"
"I think it's a good-"
"Oh right, that's right, the girl who decided to go out and mug Lung on her first night out thinks its a good plan! Bow down everyone, we're in the presence of Hannibal."
"Well what's your suggestion!" I snapped. "You haven't been doing too well, either, have you!"
"Oh, you want to know why we haven't been doing as good as Taylor Hebert thinks! You want to know, so you can give us the benefit of your experience?"
"Yes!"
"You're sure!"
"Yes!"
"Fine! Scion is actually an multi-dimensional entity that we can't path, and comes from a species of parasites that destroy entire world chains. He's here, we ganked his wife, but sooner or later he's going to snap out of his depression and try to murder us all. Oh, he's the source of 99 percent of powers, so he has a counter to most of them."
"99 percent?" Calle asked.
"The other powers come from his wife's dead body which we cut up like Dr. Frankenstein on a Friday Bender and hand out so people can guzzle dead god juice." She glared at me. "So, what's your plan, Genius?"
I raised a finger. Then I lowered my finger. I thought about it.
"Um... Can I get back to you on that?"
