Spoilers for Issue #15

Of course I registered when they told me to. Yeah, me and my dazzling ability to see through lies were going to join up with Captain America's side. Being able to see through lies is like being able to see that the sky is blue. [At least to her. Lies and deception were just that everpresent, to Verity Willis' eyes.

It might have been cool to be that strong. But being that strong would have required not being blessed with colossol amount of suck. She wasn't, so she didn't.]

I don't care if you think it's a shame that I never tried to hang out with other "superheroes". Most of them lie about their names, for God's sakes, and I could barely leave my apartment until the universe started ending. [Once she'd realized that she could hide, hiding had grown to be so easy. Maybe too easy.]

Oh, yeah, and speaking of that. Being trapped in a bracelet and seeing my own lifeless body? Kind of sucks. Hoping Loki gets on fixing that soon. [It's not that she doesn't understand her reasons. But neither was it ever high on Verity's list of things she wanted to do before she died.] Or you could get on fixing it. I know you want to play around on the new planet. I could adapt. Just...please don't drop me in the zone with the zombies.

You have to admit, it's an impressive level of irony. It started with a ring and ends with a bracelet.

[verity_willis]

Mm. Might be more along the lines of...dramatic symmetry or parallelism or something narrative like that.

[Not that Verity is any more impressed with that as an idea, either. It's been eight months, and she still says the word "narrative" in the same way that other people say "spiders".]

[brave_heart_verity]

Could be both.

[The horror.]
