((Oh, I got the point that Leet was holding Uber back, but I never saw that about his power.
It just always seemed kind of a subversion of Worm's (supposed) theme of 'you/your powers may suck but you can still kick ass'.
This theme is admittedly violated and left crying in a corner by the main character, but whatever.))
((Well, there's a little of that, too.
And I'm not sure how much Taylor "violate
and le[aves the theme] crying in a corner," though. Yes,
her power was originally powerful, but it was crippled to nigh-uselessness. The original shard was basically Eidolon's power.
Besides, "bug control" is a pretty pathetic power...unless you use it right.))
Except that when Leet died Uber basically had no purpose in life and just kinda wandered around without direction.
Cause below all the superpower stuff, the guys are friends, man.
That doesn't make Tattletale's statement any less true. If anything, it sort of rubs it in. If Uber had never met Leet, he never would have entered that purposeless phase.
man, thinking about those two reminds me of a short fic where Taylor got a 'can fix anything' tinker shard and became 'Haxx'.
Huh.
