“Have you checked him for an overinflated ego yet?” teased Ruby. “I’d hate for him to float away on us.”
Oh, Smokescreen! I’ve been dreaming of your smoldering smokiness all my life!”
no fear.
Phobia????
The truth was, he did not believe that Nightmare was dead.
Hehehehe
Oscar was in a vest and dress shirt, his sleeves cuffed at his forearms.
Ooohhh hot
Nothing ever happened, though. She was beginning to feel like all her preparation was unwarranted—
Ooohhh? U sure about that
Sometimes Nova felt like the Renegades of the past had more in common with the Anarchists than anyone dared to admit.
“Would Nova McLain, alias Insomnia, please stand?”
Noooooo
He was grinning—that open, heart-stopping smile that she absolutely loathed.
The look Hugh Everhart was giving her, she couldn’t help but notice, seemed borderline . . . fatherly. He had no right to be proud of Nova or any of her accomplishments, when it was because of him that she didn’t have her own father to look at her that way.
Why were the Renegades so determined to act as if they really could save everyone, when they knew perfectly well they couldn’t?
For the power
we cannot allow villains like Ingrid Thompson to remain in full possession of their abilities,
Theyre gonna use max??
Please note, what we are revealing here today is confidential and to be kept exclusively among Renegades personnel until further notice.”
Yeah max
It was time that society realized they’d given all the power to the Renegades and were receiving only empty promises in return.
To have your power taken away, against your will . . . wasn’t this a violation of prodigy rights, as much as any abuse they’d suffered before the Age of Anarchy?
To change a prodigy on such a fundamental level, to alter the essence of who they were, merely because they broke a rule that they had never agreed to in the first place?
“I introduce Winston Pratt . . . the Puppeteer.”
Noooooo friend😭
Did the Council truly believe they had the right to decide who should be allowed to be a prodigy, and who shouldn’t?
to be used as a defensive measure against any prodigy who demonstrates an act of violence against a Renegade or civilian, or who demonstrates willful defiance of the code.”
“They’re giving us the power to just . . . use this stuff, against anyone we feel like, no evidence of a crime required?” She shook her head. “How can that be within their code?”
“You’re not going to remark on all the mind-blowing things I can do?” Ruby gestured halfheartedly in Oscar’s direction. “Oscar can eat two extra-large pizzas in one sitting while quoting the entire third season of Star Avengers from memory.” Oscar nodded solemnly. “It’s hard to believe I even exist.”
“Or what if someone were to turn their life around and start using their power to help people? Agent N would take that choice away from them.
the Renegades talk an awful lot about human rights, but this is a violation of prodigy rights.” “Villains don’t get rights.”
Wtf
This is oppression, pure and simple. If they succeed, the Renegades will be putting themselves even higher above everyone else than they already have. There will be no one to challenge . . . us. No one to stand in our way or keep us from achieving total power,
once we have total power, what’s to keep us from becoming villains ourselves?”
Omgggg i love her
“There’s no call to be rude, Adrian.”
Thats not rude
Hugh’s expression became a bit more doubtful, but Adrian ignored it.
Dont ignore it boo. They killed your mom and are hiding it
It’s likely that the murderer was an Anarchist, right?” “We have always regarded that as a strong possibility.”
Theyre not even sure of it.. losers
“How nice to see you,” said Honey. “I was beginning to think someone might have conducted an exorcism and sent you back to the underworld.” “You believe that’s where I’m from?” said Phobia, his raspy voice eerier than usual in the dank chamber. Honey hummed to herself. “Well, I don’t think you’re from the suburbs.”
Ace Anarchy. The catalyst of a revolution. The world’s most feared villain. But also, Nova’s uncle. The man who had saved her. Raised her. Trusted her.
❤
Ace was dying.
Nooòooo💔💔💔😭😭😭😭
“Afraid to feel too deeply, afraid that the truth will—”
Adrian was about to reach for the poster when a shadow loomed in the corner of his eye. Heart lurching, Adrian spun and sent the flashlight beam into the tunnel. A rat squeaked angrily
Bruuuh my heart. That stupid rat
Still, the feeling that he wasn’t alone, that something was watching him from the shadows, was impossible to shake.
Oh phobia you creep everyone out
Adrian and Nova both turned their legs toward each other to make room for him to pass, their knees knocking together. “Sorry,” Adrian muttered,
Still squeezing Oscar’s wrist,
Oscar looked down once at her hand, then over at Adrian with a giddy yet panicked expression.
The face carved beneath the hood was amorphous, with closed eyes and a contented smile and rounded features.
Hold up is this why she wears a hood and mask as nightmare?
Nova’s gaze skipped down to Adrian’s lips. She gulped and leaned forward. Adrian took in a sudden breath and, before Nova knew what was happening, he had jumped to his feet and started brushing himself off. “Yeah, wow, we need to hurry,”
Adrian you bish coward!!!!! Do you know how hard this was for her
Sweet rot. She had tried to kiss him and . . . he had rejected her.
“She would have hurt you.” Surprise warmed his features. “Nova . . .” She turned away, her heart fluttering with the way he was looking at her. Then—“Nova.” She glanced up again, and Adrian was suddenly grinning. He pointed to something behind her. Nova peered up. Her shoulders fell. Winston’s puppet,
I.... adrian my dude are you okay? Shes spilling her heart out and you only care to find the puppet??
Nova was standing not far from the lobby’s information desk, staring up into the quarantine with her mouth hanging open. “Act normal,” Adrian whispered, his glee quickly overcoming his surprise. He elbowed Max in the side and they both raised their hands and waved.
he couldn’t comprehend why the Council and the Renegades were so determined to stop him, even after all the criminals he’d captured, all the people he’d helped.
Because the sentinel is more powerful than the council so they feel threatened 😏
“The poor security guard on duty nearly had a heart attack when he saw this.”
“So, was that all?” His dads traded another look, and Adrian bristled on the inside. What was with all the silent looks these days? Didn’t they know he could see them? Then they both sighed, practically in unison.
Ooohhh??? They know something??
Hold up, massive brain moment!! So cap chrom is the only one immune to max. Lady abominable had her fly powers taken my max and thats how she died. What if cap chrom used max to take away her powers because she was compromised aka becoming an anarchist???!!!! Ooohh maaii gaadddd
“only pretentious, small-minded individuals who seek to inflate their own importance by demoralizing everyone else.”
a metronome that, as the pendulum swung back and forth, would create a soundproof perimeter beyond the area where the ticking could be heard.
Oohh sus sus
Once the public knew about Agent N, they’d be crying for it to be applied to every case of prodigy wrongdoing. And the Council was so eager to hold on to their reputation, she suspected they would acquiesce easily.
Yeehh
“But if it weren’t for him, prodigies would still be living in fear. Persecuted, victimized, abused . . . He created a world where prodigies could stand up for themselves. To declare what we are and not be afraid that we’ll be punished for it. He fought for the rights of all prodigies. Whereas the Renegades only seem interested in defending prodigies who agree to their code.”
“The Renegades wouldn’t have existed without Ace Anarchy.”
