The table zooms out through the hole. Coasts to a stop when it's nearing the edge of Lorica's range, and then she's going to be part of the floor instead.

Not her preferred mode of transport, but it'll do. She blends in with the swarm clones she's been creating outside the building until she can get close enough to hop the fence.

And seconds later Dragon enters the cafeteria.

Dragon? What's Dragon doing here?

She doesn't stay long - after a brief glance around the room she flies off through the hole Lorica made, following Skitter. 

Skitter is on her own from here. Lorica folds up the notetaking exchange and tucks it away and blends in with the crowd.

Lucien agonizes over it but eventually does the same.

When the lockdown ends there is no news of a captured Skitter.

Does she have cell service? And if so, any messages - from her bot, from her dad, from anyone? - okay, bot knows a few things, but why was Dragon in on this, attacking Skitter at school, it's not like Skitter has never taken a hostage in her life even if you don't care about the unwritten rules -

Oh look she has a call.

"Hey, you want in on the 'what the fuck do we do about this council'?"

"Uh, still would be telling my dad where I'm going."

"If you think you can keep him from passing on that information for reasons other than your safety that'd be fine."

"I'll talk that over with him."

"K."

Tattletale hangs up and dials the next number on her list.

Dad's not keen

In that case she will not receive an invite to the Somer's Rock meeting, where the rogues and villains of the city are informed in no uncertain terms that this sort of thing is not acceptable, and that they are expected to keep their heads down for the next few days. Skitter makes clear that considered interfering in protecting the unwritten rules to be tantamount to breaking the Endbringer truce.

Several of the members stay late to organize a raid on the PRT HQ.

Lorica's bot informs her an hour later that the PRT HQ was hit and occupied by the Undersiders for an hour while Tattletale chatted with various employees and confiscated several of their servers. The Travelers and Lucien helped, though Lucien left after weakening some of the walls to allow for entry. A clip of Skitter is leaked to the press declaring that the unwritten rules apply to the PRT and Protectorate just as much as to other capes and that future incidents will be responded to with more appropriate retribution.

Oh, what a pleasantly non-maiming response! She appreciates that.

Is she in trouble for wrecking the school or anything?

The PRT is currently running out like a flock of hens that were just visited by a fox who looked around the hen house, smiled, and left. They have not managed to put together an opinion on anything Lorica related at the moment.

Cool. She can continue not interacting with them. She pursues her homeschooling and does Model UN and robotics club as extracurriculars.

Lucien is also doing Model UN, and looks terrible unsure of how guilty he should be feeling when he next sees Lorica.

She doesn't know him to have anything in particular to feel guilty about! After a reasonable amount of time she will sit near him and call him by name and stuff.

He helped break into the PRT! He did property damage! 

(Lucien feels that people are insufficiently horrified by property damage.)

He can sit near Lorica and call her by her fake-name and slowly get more relaxed.

It's not fake, it's just her middle name. Besides, he never called her Bella.

According to his brain her real name is Lorica, apparently.

After the club winds down he tentatively invites her to another board game night!

"Um, if you're still interested in coming after um. Everything."
