synaes for The Atomic Girl
Minor role.
A human weapon with a mysterious past, the Atomic Girl ("AG") is the only vigilante in the City with genuine superpowers—and probably the only one of Rex's gang with a conscience.
Medium-to-low voice; sarcastic but ultimately well-meaning, compassionate.
We never got into messes like this before you showed up, Rex. And don’t give me any of that ‘duty’ bullshit. You enjoy it. And you, !N—You encourage him! It’s like you feed off each other’s crazy. You do realize you’re putting your friends in danger, right?
Well shit. Rex is going to be a nightmare, isn’t he? Ordinary Rex is bad enough, but melancholy Rex? Maybe he’ll leave—I mean, Rex only moved in because !N’s work interested him. Although, with all the equipment Susan gets us… He might not want to let a good thing go just because !N… died. (pause, embarrassed) Oh, sorry, you’ve obviously been crying. I guess you’re pretty cut up about it too? You and !N were…Well, you knew him back when you were evil, or whatever.
Well, it’s like my pops used to say: ‘Men are scum.’ ... Look, Hel. I want you to know, if you ever feel like you’re not safe in the house… or with Rex… you can tell me.
