Character: Gertrude Yorkes
Series: Runaways
Canon: Gertrude Yorkes was one of the six children who rebelled against their parents after learning they were a group of super-villains called the Pride. Out of the group she's the sarcastic one, providing them with humor while her pet deinonchyus, Old Lace, provides the brawn. As the daughter of time travellers, her knowledge of history and present current events are a source of most of her commentary, such as her "superhero name" Arsenic is based off of a play/noir film. Since she's set between series she's currently dating Chase Stein, the jock son of mad scientists, and has no idea of what is going on in the current series. Her favorite past time is mocking, and her self-described two evils of the world are low fat ice cream and non-Mac computers.
It's not paranoia if they're really out to get you.
Okay, so it's one thing if my parents are evil in that costume wearing, super-villain, let's give the earth over to monsters that proved you should have been listening in Synagogue and why didn't you Gertrude? way. But summer camp too? The place you're supposed to dump us off so you can back to business? What next: Six Flags? The Smithsonian? Disneyland was a given ever since the seventies but, really, if I didn't know better I'd think the politicians were lying when they say children are our most precious resource. Like Soylent Green, I bet.
If it weren't for Old Lace and an extra casing of dental floss I would have given it up as a lost cause. A shot gun and track suit isn't enough for a re-make of Evil Dead, no matter what that stupid P.A. says. And here Nico and the rest were so worried about Bruiser that I had to sneak out to get her back even though, knowing Mol, she would have started a tea party playdate with some of these zombies. I'm so killing Chase when I get back since it was his idea to make out in the Frog and he should share the blame So now I'm stuck here too, with the moving corpses close enough to the botox freaks off Sunset that I actually feel homesick for L.A.
I hate babysitting.
Voting went here, whoo barely got in.
