“ shut up , silver. “
the way the name falls out of her mouth is just full of love — full of the bubbly , bubble , bubblegum hellcat voice she puts on. be somebody a kid would feel safe around , that ‘ s the belief trish subscribes to. it ‘ s the easiest gauge. if your attitude would make a pre - k aged child cry , you ‘ re an awful hero. and trish doesn ‘ t want to be an awful hero. she has always wanted to be a superhero , and everyone would love her. and who couldn ‘ t love the h - e - double - hockey - sticks cat ?
tonight she ‘ s awake and alive and the night air is biting and freezing and her cowl keeps her snug and her temperature comfy ( the tech in this suit is ridiculous — stark never disappoints ) and her eyes , a freakish jade , flash in the light , glimmer like a mirror reflective. she can see the silver lining perfectly , can hear her with sharp , newborn ears. not there yet , but she ‘ s adjusting.
“ i like to keep my little victories. they ‘ re so small. i build a tiny little tower too high for anyone to get into with them. “
her gloves move — hilariously new york — as she speaks. the hellcat ‘ s teasing , of course.
“ i ‘ ll take point. i have an upper - hand here. “
serious. easy. almost obsessive. time to plan.
