"That would be convenient," she agrees.

"What should we do in the near term? I imagine that fight might've warranted some immediate investigation..."

"Figure out how to hide Bonesaw. Maybe me, too."

"I can hide others in the Force, though it sometimes takes concentration - which would be easier if you're helping. It won't be any harder if you stay out here, though, unless someone's immune - which any droids would be. I can fool an organic who's looking at and interpreting the results of a machine's senses - but I can't fool the machine directly without physically reprogramming it."

"It'll probably be a person who comes to look. A strong one."

Nod. "I'll feel a bit safer if you're both close, but - that's silly, in some ways, and it's up to you where you want to be."

"We could wait in the house."

"You'll probably wanna pretend your powers have limits they actually don't. If you're admitting we're here, but you're hiding us, and you've got this stranger power that works on yourself, and you killed all the others, they'll be alarmed. But if you say, you've got a Stranger power that always has to be on, and you can target yourself with it or a few other nearby people who are touching each other, but your power always hides you from machines but never hides other people - 'cause they're gonna notice sooner or later you're not popping up on camera but we are - then that sounds kinda normal. And say you've got that and some kind of... Maybe Thinker power, you know who's trying to observe you, so you realized the Siberian was a projection and snuck over to kill the Master who wasn't well guarded. That's a kinda weak Thinker power but it's still pretty useful here, and it makes sense as perfect counter. And then you've got some kind of blaster or shaker power, and you just used that to pick people off while Skywalker and I helped, if you're admitting we did - which, they're gonna wanna know where I am, and if you want them to not try to kill or arrest either of us, telling them that we helped kill the Nine will help that."

She glances at Skywalker. "Does that make sense to you?"

"...Capes who have a broad mix of powers tend to have them all be weaker than capes who have one power they can apply in many ways. And those usually cluster together, so they'd be looking for other people to show up who have a similar mix of skills."

"Would that be a bad thing?"

"Though, in general, I prefer giving very little information. They can't catch you in a lie if you don't say anything."

"They won't trust you very much, either."

"True."

"I'm not sure - what explanation of my powers would be alarming or not. I'm used to a galaxy that overestimates Force users more often than not."

"Or if it'd be better to just lean into being extremely powerful, but prosocial - very few people in the galaxy are afraid of my son, even though he's taken my place as the most powerful person alive in most people's minds. Which... I'm bad at lying, anyways, and I don't want to get off on a bad foot with them." Shrug. "Unless actual honesty is a very bad idea for some reason."

"Perhaps it would just be better for you to hide and I take the credit."

"Might be best if we're relying on needing to not freeze up when trying to lie."

"I would tend to err on the side of not trusting these people. If you keep yourself secret, that's an advantage for us."

"Alright."

"I'll stay hidden, and hide Bonesaw, then?"

Nod.

And Bonesaw fades a little from Skywalker's awareness - not much, but she can tell now that there's something nudging attention away. "Try not to draw extra attention," she recommends to Bonesaw.

"Right." She glances at Skywalker again and then jogs inside. 

Shouldn't be too much longer before someone shows up.

Not very long, though they're approaching a bit slowly, keeping at a distance and in the air - the only one Skywalker can see at first is a woman in a Venetian-style masquerade mask decorated with fractals, on a hover platform up out of the easy range of any of the Nine except Shatterbird. There's a small space distortion around her, little flecks of color, though she's trying to keep it tight to her bodysuit, which is a very dark black.

She's also pretty clearly surveying, and she veers up even higher when she sees the carnage.

(Skywalker's sense of the Force can pick up on reinforcements out of sight - only two other capes, neither a major threat. They seem to be more surveying where the fires had spread before being extinguished than being extra cautious.)

She stands outside of the cabin, not hiding at all.

The woman contacts her team, and some of the air around her shimmers, and then her voice projects to just close enough to Skywalker to be heard shouting: "What happened here?"

"Jack Slash came to visit," she replies. "I killed her, and her friends."
