She's the goddess of the sun: being in America probably only requires that the sun rise over it. Which I believe is still a pretty regular occurrence.

If Blackwell tried to punish Emma based on circumstantial evidence then Alan would kick up a stink and threaten to sue them for defamation or something to that effect.
Yeah, but (as noted by others) he's a divorce lawyer. Not a REAL lawyer. He's one (tiny) step above ambulance chasers.
Yes, but when that much shit is flying it tends to attract reporters and then all the shit is out in the open for everyone to smell, and when that happens even the winner is a loser covered in shit.
Remember what I always say about wrestling with pigs: The pig just enjoys it, you end up covered in mud, and your cousin Cletus gets pissed because you're messing with his special lady.
Better just to not bother.
Huzzah!
"I have never witnessed her acting as a parahuman does." The same answer, each time Lung asked. The same uncharacteristic evasion, from one who never lied or hid truth from him.
Well, to be FAIR, it can be really awkward to explain to your boss that someone isn't a parahuman... just a miko. No, seriously, I think she's actually serving a goddess, who's a dog. Yes, I said dog. Well... not a dog, but more a wolf? ...why are you staring at me like that? You asked!
Planting trees and renovating buildings-- a more obvious message would be difficult to create.
Yes. How dare she try to make the world a better place. She's a monster. </deadpan>
If she was a scavenger, come to chew at his demesne, then she would not be given the option of walking away.

They pressed on in silence, the driver, the dragon, and the demon.
So, do you think that driver is laid back? I think he's probably super relaxed right now. (Because he's gone all the way through panic and out the other side.)
Lung squinted in his mask-- a book of fables. Useless.
A-ha! Taylor's doing research!
Lung rumbled, deep in his chest. He could appreciate some spine
I've shipped people for LESS, just sayin'....
"You can't answer me, and that is why you have no claim here. This shrine does not belong to you, it belongs to the people of this city. And this city does not belong to you, because you do not belong to it. You take, but never give."
Hmmm, Taylor's gone for an armor piercing question and an explanation of fact. I wonder if Lung will see the truth behind her words and maybe reevaluate his choices in life or at least decide someone who can stand up to him like this isn't unworthy of a little respect?
The back of Lung's hand met the girl's cheek which a resounding crack,
...or he could do that. That's certainly an option. It's not an option *I* would have gone for, given that she's besties with AMATERASU, but... it's certainly
AN option.
"This insult... will not be borne." Lung seethed.
You are... 100% correct. Yes. This is a completely factual statement.
Lightning crashed down, a single bolt from a cloudless sky. It struck Lung's metal mask with a burst of light and sound,
100% correct.
Lung rolled to a stop, heart stuttering and pounding as if by overdose.
Ooooh, look at that neat little parallel between this and his original Trigger! That was nice, UnwelcomeStorm. I liked that.
Yuh-huh. Totally by choice. It's not that he can't stand up on his own. He's just LETTING other people help him, that's all.
Let's see, I had a song for this....
OH, RIGHT.
she may yet turn the gangs of Brockton Bay into basically just really racist competing homeowners' associations.
So... homeowner's associations, then.
...don't look at me like that. HOA's are the scum of the fucking earth and you all know it.
