endbringer, meet gun

...Very unseasonable rains can be seen in the distance from the shores of Acapulco.

The Brockton Bay Protectorate starts organizing volunteers to be transported or teletransported in batches to it. Heroes, rogues, villains, anyone's assistance is appreciated. A rendez-vous point is set for non-Protectorate capes wishing to volunteer, and Protectorate capes are informed of the situation via communication devices.

"Well, you could confirm my guess."

[mxglam]

"Guess...?"

[thinkering]

"About your power."

[mxglam]

"...no one else can hear what you're saying, right?"

[thinkering]

"If there's somebody in here with boosted hearing can't swear to it, but not by default unless you lean this robot near your seat neighbor."

[mxglam]

"Yeah I think it's best if that waits until this risk is somewhat lower."

[thinkering]

The robot crawls off of Glam's face and goes to sit on Lorica again.

[mxglam]

And eventually they arrive.

[thinkering]

The Wards go to be post-mission debriefed and chinned-up.

[mxglam]

And Glam-

goes check out the forums!

[thinkering]

They are foruming as usual. Loricas_Bot makes occasional topical remarks on germane threads.

[mxglam]

Glam sends Loricas_Bot a hello!

And looks for posts about the attack.

[thinkering]

Loricas_Bot replies to the hello at once, greeting Glam right back.

There are, of course, posts about the attack, since days ago when it was all wild guessing to moments ago when reports are trickling in.

[mxglam]

Glam doesn't send the bot any more messages, since it's quite unlikely they'll get to Lorica anyway.

What are the reports saying...? A news website might help, as well. Are they wondering about Glam's identity? Inquiring minds want to know!

[alicornucopia]

The press release from the Protectorate and one from its smaller Mexican equivalent has just broken. Glam's name appears in it, credited with "three hits of varying efficacy" and "working with Brockton Bay Ward, Lorica, and Guadalajara hero, Santuario". Six paragraphs down, but they're there.

[mxglam]

Hrrmmm. They think they deserve way more than just that mention!

But at least now they can resurrect their wiki profile and people won't say they're made up!

...except they just got back from an Endbringer fight and wow are they tired they might just go to bed and oh nope passed out before getting there.

[thinkering]

The Protectorate crowd politely mourn Antares and Althaea and then resume normal operations.

Patrol patrol.

[mxglam]

Guess who?

[thinkering]

"Hi."

[mxglam]

"Hello. I'm sorry for your losses."

[thinkering]

"Thanks."

[mxglam]

...man is that a way to kill a conversation.

Patrol patrol.

[thinkering]

Patrol patrol.

[mxglam]

...Glam cannot spend that much time without talking.

Well they can but. It's not in their nature.

"How're things at the Protectorate post-attack?"

[thinkering]

"Quiet. Althaea shouldn't have been there but she thought it was worth a try. But she had no business getting that close to him in the first place and we still don't know if it could've worked."
