[hitch in voice]I'm so proud.[/hitch]"Would that matter if he'd been a second too slow, and she'd skewered me?" I raised an eyebrow. "How bad would the Brockton Bay Brigade have looked with the murder of a six year old on their record?" I leaned forward, looking at Carol. "How would you have felt – Mom – if you had to go home and look Vicky in the eyes with the knowledge that you had killed a girl just her age by accident?"
Mark grimaced; Aunt Sarah looked taken aback. Carol looked furious. "He was a dangerous man!" she snapped.
"I'm really, really, not going to accept that it's okay to kill innocents, even by accident, just so that one 'dangerous man' can go to prison," I told her softly. "But then, I guess that's the difference between you and me."
Seriously Ack, this has to be the BEST (vocal) one-upmanship I've seen Amy pull on Carol in ANY fic. The only thing that could have driven the point home deeper would have been making the parallel to Fleur being attacked in her home (and I could be remembering wrong, but I think I remember an unpowered/civilian member of Fleur's family died as well).
You should check out Amelia by TanaNari. Amy/Taylor focused story, and does a good job living up to it's claim of "darkest fixfic."Loving this story, I haven't really read much on Worm, but from what I read on other stories and the TVtropes page, Ami deserves some breaks badly, it is good to see her getting some.
