May I tell you of the glory that is Catradora?

A good question. I guess it depends on whether he's running his power when it happens. Since we haven't seen that, who knows?

In canon, he's constantly using his power though, or at least in everyone of his waking hours, he's paranoid like that.

Well, he's seeing what he would be doing in his day if he were not doign the thing he was doing. So, it's possible the outages have him concerned and he's had two blank spots like TT and simply hasn't let on to her, though I think she knows(or I implied she knew in her part in here. It's late though so I may be confuzzled) and that was one thing he had her trying to find out the cause for. The PRT info they have says Taylor has nothing to do with it, but she has other value courtesy TT's info so we'll see.
hey! that was funny... and oddly cute for some reason in my opinion.

I now ship Vicky and Taylor since they are showing great chemistry together and Vicky might be the only one who can stop Taylor from going on a rampage. Poor Amy.
Also, I like this chapter, the interactions were rather believable, Taylor's costume sucks at keeping a secret identity, Minako and Catherine finally had bad timing and Taylor got ice cream. Poor girl needed ice cream after her day so far.
I wonder if Lisa would Lolnope! and leave if she meets Taylor in person. Generally, poking someone who is currently unstable emotionally with mind crush powers is a bad thing.

Eh. I'm not bothered about it. If Simurgh wanted to fuck with Taylor it's be safer to hit those around her than go directly for the cosmic firebeast anyway.
And honestly, if the Simurgh's long term goal is to be free and/or stop Scion, as seemed implied in the canon, then poking the Death Star is not the best option. If we go the whole story without an appearance by Her Wingyness I'll be cool with it.
Mastermind was a complicated guy. Some of his chutzpah came from sheer self loathing. He apparently used his powers the most on himself to make himself feel like a worthwhile human being (badly represented in the carton as just an appearance thing) He a serious wake up call before he died, I forget the specifics. But he did genuinely repent and apologize, even knowing that a mere apology wasn't enough.
Of course, since Marvel thew continuity out the window, he'll probably be back eventually and just as evil as if he'd never had character development as soon as a writer forgets he died.
Hentai Kamen?

No, hentai kamen is not a girl. And the girl describe like so.
Right. Know that manga too. Wasn't too interested in it, so don't remember the name, buut I do know it... ehem...

I honestly don't. But I did read hentai kamen.
I'm pretty sure it's Kekkou Kamen. It's somewhat bad that I instantly knew the reference once I saw it, but meh.
Also, that's actually making me wonder if Clarendon operates under manga logic.
Yes Taylor, it worked so well for him. His daughter is not a parahuman, which requires a pretty terrible trauma, had a major fight with him, threw his wife's death in his face and still hasn't come home- OH GOD SHE COULD BE ANYWHERE.
This is the definition of working.
Thank you for this story. It makes lurking on this forum a pleasure. I can't however get answers to questions while lurking, so I have to actually type them out.
In this reality, how is deliberate research into a parahuman's private identity seen by the general public and by other parahumans?
Also, how is the deliberate "outing" of a parahuman to somebody who wasn't aware of their secret seen? (And no, I'm not talking about the parahuman outing himself or herself. I'm talking about Dean/Gallant reporting that Taylor is immune to his empathy, Madison/Browbeat reporting her suspicions and Armsmaster reporting that Taylor is a parahuman to the PRT. And advising her father.)

The girl couldn't keep her mouth shut when facing down Jack Slash, like hell she wouldn't poke the bear made of fire and mind crush that is Taylor.
Also hoping to see Taylor make up with people soon. Thanks you for taking her out of that downward spiral before it became irritating.

COOOOIIIIIIIL!
When Lisa came back in as a mention, it got me curious about Coil, and the information he's sitting on regarding Taylor's precog (and maybe/maybe not being able to link her to the pyrokinesis via his information at the PRT, and if he did in fact have cameras on the building). Merely waiting for the right time, or something else? I don't think we have any solid info of 'when' he learned about Dinah in canon, so it could be a figuring out an if/when situation for the two of them.
Liked Taylor being reasonably unreasonable about Catherine and Minako's pitch, any 'family unit' inspired Cape outfit, military-inspired or not, would be rough for someone like Taylor, with her need to be in control of the situation, to chafe under.
Liked Armsmaster's 'optimism' in securing a Wards Affiliation for Taylor. Hopefully, they can keep the Browbeat thing under wraps for the time being, though if Madison keeps acting strangely, it'll draw just as much attention as her previous 'low-key' bullying attempts were previously.

Well, Taylor is a teenager. So being a Teen while being a Teen is probably well within bounds.
This all reminds me! The Ward that Piggot traded Shadow Stalker should probably be coming into the story soon! I wonder who it is....

SO many messages. Here we go.
They're friends. Shipping beyond that does not exist in my head at present. For a number of reasons. Not the least of which is at this age, teenagers experiment and I would try for an accurate portrayal of a teenage relationship(which, given it is high school age, would be having them involved for about six weeks before breaking up. /average relationship in high school length. j/k
Actually, portraying an extended relationship between two teenagers would, realistically, involve elements at some point that simply aren't permissible at SB/SV given their ages. Since I'm not going to do the 'multiple versions of this story in different places' routine, any shipping that advances beyond pure friendship would be ridiculously tame and unadvanced beyond movies and hand-holding. (hilariously, when I did retail, there was one girl I was friends with their that I had to tease because she thought going for walks and holding hands with her boyfriend was the greatest thing ever. Sadly, she wasn't enough of an ATLA fan to know I was borrowing from Zuko giving Sokka crap in Book 3: Fire. /random.
We may see Simurgh, but it won't be for a while and by the time we potentially do, well, the current status quo will be very different.
Correct. You get a lemon muffin!
Clarendon is a weird, weird place.
Taylor is a teenager. Teenagers have moments of Drama and No One Understands Me and perceive the rest of the world and people in it(particularly their parents) through a lens that is completely unconnected to reality and the real state of events whatsoever.
That is an excellent question. Let me think on this for a moment...
...
Ok. To be honest, I see the general public finding the whole thing titilating. Capes are the new hollywood stars, in a sense. Let's face it. How capes are perceived has been carefully managed and cultivated by the engine of the PRT and the hand of Cauldron. To the general public, it's probably something exciting when it happens. The instances of such becoming public knowledge are, however, likely very sparse. Fleur because she was murdered probably got out, but the cape community likely keeps things hush-hush whenever possible.
Take Skitter learning SS's identity. They were trying to keep things quiet there, because it was during truce time, sure, but I imagine they'd want to keep that on the downlow.
As to the other thing. Taylor was under suspicion, albeit reduced since Armsy was shifting away from her. Dean reported because he had heard she was a subject of interest, so he reported his findings. Armsy came at it from the wrong end of things, to letting her dad know, but he was gambling it would achieve a specific effect. We do have commentary/WOG about how non-cape organisations will report parahumans to the PRT. See canon Browbeat, who was Ward-conscripted because the hospital reported him when they noticed his healing.
Armsy reported to Piggot directly, who preserved the information in a private file she keeps only on that flash drive. Less people in the PRT know than you would think.
Dealing with the fallout of the last two parts will come soon.
There may have been cameras. There may not have been.
GG is Twilight Sparkle?
Coil is best served, I think, in the background. We'll likely get something with him in the future, but I want to avoid having him too prominent because that wrecks him as an interesting antagonist. He won't make his move until he has things laid out exactly as he wants, if he makes a move at all. You thought it was the PRT, but it was really me, Coil, all along!
Taylor = teenager. Everything is drama.
And Armsy is just a huge bundle of optimism!

*shrug* It's a thing. I don't determine the rules here, but I do abide by them. I can write teenagers having sex elsewhere should I desire to do so.
