[h3] Traveler - Abandoned Train Yard [/h3] [@thewizardguy] [hr] Alex read the words, still mildly impressed with the woman's abilities. "I'll answer that in parts, to try and make more sense. But first I just want to say I'm being pretty damn honorable right now. They don't call me the Traveling Trickster for nothing. Or impish, in my terms," she said with a slight laugh. "So point one, killing the bad guys. Pretty common thing around the world. I don't even object, personally, unless it's minor crimes. No need to kill someone trying to make ends meet in a relatively nonviolent way." She paused, her face darkening momentarily. "I'll tell you something I've never told anyone. Not even my best friend. Not even my parents, not that they'd care much anyways. Without going into too many personally details, I was abducted when I was young. The incidents that followed left me deaf, and granted me my powers. I escaped, they didn't get their ransom, and my parents were... Mildly difficult. Those men are dead, and they have been for years." Alex left the statement hang for a moment. "Common Joe stealing doesn't deserve death, unless he's hurting or killing to get away with it. I hope my point is getting across? Even the High have their limit. Eventually they step in, and an Epic is dead for being a major problem." She shrugged visibly before continuing. "Comet is a fool, but his heart is in the right place. Wanton murder is crazy to him, and to most. As for this Nudd....I wonder if Nudd was the reason for several disappearances in the last several days. He mentioned they were old enemies, Nudd having killed Comet's childhood love before going on a psychotic rampage. He'd been given assistance by the High Venom and one of her subjects going by the name of Shatter or something," she said with a frown. "As for the other Heroes, it's entirely a case by case basis. Magus has a gimmick. Dragon Heart can be a bit of an ass with his temper. Comet, well you saw him." Pausing to consider, Alex made a decision. "How would you feel about being kind of partners?"
