He stepped forward as if overseeing the duel. “Muller, show your strength as a true warrior of the Aryan race!” Hookwolf’s voice rang out. His would-be opponent was also handed a metal bat. The E88 members formed a ring and pushed one shivering man forward. The women and children were separated from the men. If I went out there my secret identity would be exposed before I even had one. The only thing that held me back was my lack of a cape costume. I had nothing to fear from gunshots with my Arrow Protection Amulet, and any bullets that did get through Avalon would heal.
There were only about twenty, I estimated. This…was some kind of sick initiation ceremony. He was handed a metal bat by his peers and they gestured towards the minority members huddled together on the ground. Out the window I saw a mob of E88 members surrounding the people who’d been forced off, while the guy that was leading on the bus got pats on the back and cheers. My hands clenched into fists as I watched them exit. We were left on the bus while the E88 guys went back out. Half the passengers were forced off in short order and the remainder cowered in their seats. When did Empire 88 members become so bold? Off you go,” the one at the front leveled his gun at the guy who spoke up. He was white and the E88 members had skipped past him. “This is a public bus man, what’s wrong with you people? Who’s going to drive us now?” A passenger in a nice looking dress shirt asked. The other two members started grabbing other minorities and dragging them away too. “Listen here, all you fucking japs and chinks need to get the hell off too!” One of them shouted, gesturing with a gun. I will endeavour to make corrections where the plot allows, but where I cannot, please remember that it’s just a fictional story with no religious significance. I am not even remotely well qualified for something like that, and if I made any errors or gross misrepresentations, please don’t hate me. I do not warrant to show them to any degree of accuracy. I'm just wondering if Taylor spent some time once she made the sling looking for the perfect stone, otherwise this won't be a one hit kill.ĭisclaimer: Any depictions of religion, religious figures or artifacts here are not meant as a statement of my beliefs or theological teaching.
Taylor is just some random girl, who is about to probably fight an well-known powerful cape, in defense of someone or something, in this case, the bus driver and the nearby civilians. This does somewhat match the scenario of the sling's legend. That sync increase to it just by seeing Hookwolf, on what is probably going to be her first ever cape fight, a man described as one of the strongest capes in Brockton Bay? Not just because I don't think of anyone else when I think of a hero with a sling, but it's described as part of it's legend being that it doesn't look like much.ĭavid's sling was literally nothing special, and was used by a boy who spent most of his life herding sheep to kill a highly skilled warrior. I am fairly certain that is the Sling used by David to kill Goliath.
