I love how the Undersiders are always goofing around during S-class events. Every other team must hate them so much.

Honestly, this is a great line for showing how fucking creepy Shard Instinct is.
For those of you unaware, Shard Instinct is when your power lends you heightened awareness of potential dangers, weaknesses, and understanding of things around you (mostly powers but not always).
We see characters like Taylor, March, Grey Boy, and Glastig Uaine, have it in some scenes and Jack Slash would be the biggest example as his Shard is basically built entirely around that function (hence it being called Broadcast)
Victoria, currently, is riding high on Shard Instinct after bonding with her Shard, the Fragile One. It has let her have Tattletale tier guesses into dangerous capes, forewarned her about the dangers of anti-Parahumans, and even given her hints that Titan Fumehood and Dauntless were still human on the inside.
It’s arguably the most in depth look we’ve seen barring Jack himself as to how it works in depth.
She’s also been using it a lot during the Ziz fight, mostly to avoid the more fatal traps and tricks, and to slightly resist her machinations (to varying degrees of success).
Here, it borders nearly on the precognitive, with Victoria warning Roman not to act even before Roman do anything, getting Roman to not use his power. Note that Victoria had only found Roman in a pile of bodies a few minutes ago and is currently reeling from blood loss/burns on her body, yet she’s hyper aware of what he would do.
Which is fucking badass… but now imagine it from the perspective someone who isn’t Victoria.
She basically either read your mind or could somehow see the future as to what you’ll do, which is a surprise because neither of those are her power. She just immediately stopped whatever you had planned in your tracks.
That’s fucking creepy as hell
Imagine, if you would: Mia and Carson Hurst adopt the Heartbroken.
Ward's Roman Vasil, a request by @victoriadallonfan on my Patreon "He wore a venetian mask in gunmetal gray, with crimson-highlighted blades and decoration at the edges. Cracks ran through it and each crack was traced in red. His costume setup was similar to mine [Antares] with a breastplate and mostly decorative pieces of armor elsewhere"
HIs powers allow him to induce a berserk duel between himself and a target: "I saw the shift in their bodies as Roman used his power. A burst of raw emotion, rage and hostility flowing through them and making veins momentarily bulge. It came, apparently, with strength. Enough for them to leap toward the nearest building face."

It's neat that in Blinding 11.11 Lily seems to have a calmer reaction to Love Lost's scream than Victoria does. I mean, I guess you could argue that her not just cutting through Hookline's chain was because she was angry and overly focused on beating the shit out of him, but she didn't try it before either I don't think, so I chalk that up to her just being kinda dumb with her power sometimes.
But otherwise, she really just hunches over for a bit, goes red in the face, and then gets back to what she was doing. Seven years of managing an extremely lethal power plus four years around the Heartbroken (and Roman in particular) seems to have made her pretty darn good at being careful and ignoring violent instincts.
finally some proper imp bullshit again!
i missed aisha's rambling and kitschy vocabulary choices, and the fact that her horrible adopted kids are involved now only makes it funnier
