I think I want to see you actually write this one. It has feel feel of what could be an amazing story.

Very compelling. You should certainly turn this ch. To a full story on it's own! Please?

I have a little theory for why this version of Carol seems to hate Amelia so much - and it's not just because this is primarily written from a biased point of view: Carol herself was 13 years old when she fell to a version of Stockholm syndrome. It took her... what, less than a day to fall to it?

But Amelia here... HOO boy. It's been nearly a decade and she's STILL hating them, still remembering what they did - and she was 6 YEARS OLD. Less than half of Carol's own age when she was kidnapped.

Carol's hating on Amelia because Amelia REMEMBERING is rubbing a perceived failure in Carol's face.

You know how much The PRT heroes are fucking up if a villain is the one deescalating the situation better than them.

…Goddamn. I have nothing to say about this.

I definitely want more of this.

My only, one and only, issue with this chapter is how Dinah all but gets ignored after Legend shows up. Wasn't really THAT much for her to say, but she might as well have not even been there after that save for a single mention during Taylor's rant.

Minor complaint really, particularly since I'm not even sure what you could have done with her at that point, but 0 mention, even in descriptions...

Very nice, but she should be half-way to Canada by now.
And for international action, is there no Guild here?

Really love how you went in a different direction than most stories with this, impressively original! The only thing missing was Taylor giving Danny a reality check for signing her up with the wards and I can understand that she was pretty overwhelmed at that point, so hopefully next chapter.

Legend meanwhile seems like he needs to take a few remedial courses on dealing with people, a reminder that the man is more charismatic than anything else and he's probably gotten used to cashing in on his reputation.

Hell this gets even better the second time i read it, batman being so viscerally confronted with the results of his holier than thou morals is satisfying as hell. There are plenty of villains worth redeeming, ones who go for victimless crimes, but the truely lost causes need to be delt with.

I love how this chapter just smacks down all of Taylor's usual allies/friends in fanfics. Lisa? Made a horrid first impression by going to Taylor's first house, and no, Coil being a competent Bond villain is no excuse. Dinah? Brat was going to backstab Taylor as soon as she stopped being useful. Legend? He was still a member of Cauldron, with all that implies, and contrary to popular fanon, Hero was the good one, with Legend just being the less bad member. Never forget the dude was willing to let people get eaten by Siberian, something even Alexandria was horrified by, to give them a good shot at her (before they knew she was a projection). So no, he's not a friend either. Only Aisha gets a pass.

MERCI POUR LA LECTURE

Here we see why innocent people get shot by cops. They don't shut up and just do what the cop says. Normal people think they can talk like it's a normal situation. It's not.

I wonder how many people died in the timeline that Coil throw away.
Thumb up to Lisa for not fucking this negotiation up.
Queen Administrator, Taylor's new mother. The only one adult Taylor is listening to.
Legend FINALLY learning how heavy the burden Alexandria have been shouldering.
LOL

Love Taylor going off on Legend:)
