So Glam tests their power some more, and then has a meeting with Piggot where they explain the Siberian. She listens carefully, then asks them not to demonstrate, and says she will communicate that to the appropriate people. That takes a while, and then Lorica is asked to confirm this, and then Glam is asked to demonstrate to very few people with very high clearance.
This should not get out, it would be a PR nightmare, but if the Sibarian copy does what it looks like it does, its help will be invaluable in the upcoming Endbringer fights. When Glam decides to use that power, the story will be that a power copier has grabbed the Siberian's and is using it against the Endbringer, that people should not panic, and that she is an ally. Glam mentions, since they're all being so cooperative about telling everyone on the comms, that the Siberian copy doesn't have to look like the original, so people can know whether to panic or not based on her shape.
That leaves, of course, Glam's own willingness to face the Slaughterhouse Nine. Even if they don't know that Siberian is them, they will likely cause problems, and this will need to be carefully planned.
Careful plans tend not to survive contact with reality, and that is doubly true when the next Endbringer attack happens only two months and nine days after the previous one.
Not that it would matter much: Glam is definitely not going to a Simurgh fight, not yet.
Well, Miracle Max has other things. He can keep her alive, at least.
She has apparently broken or cracked a few ribs, her left arm and leg, has a concussion, a dislocated shoulder, and is terribly lucky none of her vertebrae are cracked. She'll be down for a while.
Well, at least she's on the reaaaaaaally good Tinker drugs.
And the bots have footage of the Lung fight, showing his clear intent of burning her to a crisp. That, coupled with just how much damage he could do and how much he could take, gives him a one-way ticket to the Birdcage.
If only he could be made to redeem it somehow.
"I wonder if we ought to throw her that 'Rewind is awesome' party to lift her spirits," Glam muses out loud to Lorica a couple of days later. "Like just get a few balloons and bring her food."
"I think flowers are traditional for people in the hospital."
"Sure. Although we should probably ask the medical staff if she's on any kind of restricted diet - I wouldn't expect it but you never know, especially if she's got internal damage."
"Oh, yeah, good idea, we should ask. But I bet she's just dying of stir craziness there."
"I mean, if she's stir crazy I'm not sure receiving visitors who aren't there to break her out will help."
"I'll grant you that. As soon as the nurse gets back to me about dietary restrictions we can get her something to eat and a bouquet."
Also Glam has decided not to throw Lorica a birthday party so there's a party-throwing urge in their soul that's going unsatisfied.
"Yes, well, people like colorful things and things that float." Pause. "I do, at any rate."
