Used To Be: The Kid Rapscallion Story - Plot & Excerpts
Jason asks, backing away from the bed. Belle Flower knows she is done with all of this. She wants to be a Hero. To do Good Things. To Make A Difference. But time and again she is confronted by the dark things done by good people, and as she kneels by the severed head of Duplication Girl on a day when the world has gone mad, she wants to take her costume off and never put it on, again. She thinks of the decisions made by Winton, by Rapscallion, by Eagle ’62, and Striped Star and knows she wants nothing to do with it. “I’m done,” she says, standing up. Belle knows she should call the cops because that is exactly what she was mad at the others for not doing, but here, confronted by the horror of a murder she doesn’t honestly think Jason could have done, she hesitates. Why? If she believes in the system, she calls this in and lets the local police deal with it. They’ll kick it up to the FBI’s Cape Division, or maybe the United Nations given that Duplication Girl was technically built in a lab in Copenhagen.
