I bet the elder Noxians already knew about ‘Ruth and Tim’.
After all, if the ‘missing mother”s fate was unknown:
– 1) They would have been VERY worried that her unknown fate could happen to them, and searched for her.
– 2) There would have been LOTS of question when she intermittently reappeared in NOX, earlier in the story.
So, predictable answer to their ‘revelation’: ‘is that all?’ or ‘so what?’
So far, the only person who really seems to know about Ruthless’ fate is Lady Moonlight and I don’t think she’s given many people, if any at all, the straight-up truth. After all, once you tell another person, it’s no longer a secret.
As for Ruth’s occasional appearances back in Nox, I suspect the Encyclopaedia she possesses, and later gave to Shadow, has given her the means to conceal her comings and goings. (re: pages 91, 94-96)
One thing for sure, many of the key Noxians we’ve been introduced to are carrying around some very big secrets. Shadow and Midnight (Tim and his mom), Lady Moonlight (Ruthless), Lord Mortis (Shadow) and Terminus (his human girlfriends and whatever the hell his extended plan is)…every one of them has some kind of skeleton in their closet. I have a feeling that eventually, all of these “houses of cards” will come crashing down.

She’s the only one who cares. Others may know, but then they could just shrug and move on.
Speaking of human girlfriends I would wonder what will happened to him if they find out that he has been using them like he has? I’ve read the story that this is based off of and let me tell you he gets off easy in that 1. But what kind of fate awaits him if all the girls and that includes the Nox girls Find out he is cheating on all of them? I actually feel sorry for him because they’re gonna tear him to pieces slowly and they’re gonna make it absolutely agonizing. Those human girls are been a show the monster girls how to come about true fear out of a male. And it’s gonna involve a Paris scissors and that guy’s most precious jewels.
“We have discovered the secret to making dirty socks smell like freshly heated Poptarts and cookies!”
High-Father: What are poptarts and cookies?
Terminus: “Poptarts are the delicately sublime bridge between ‘cookies’ and ‘cake’! They simultaneously weave ‘frosting’ and ‘fruity-smush’ together, all of which are suspended within a cookie-like matrix!”
High Father: “Err…you lost me somewhere around ‘cookie’.”
Gentlemen’s Bet: Someone’s gonna find themself on the business end of that dagger Terminus is carrying around…like, real soon.
lol. I like Nightmare’s “so satisfied” expression… its clear she enjoys the luvin’ she been gettin’!
Quick Question: Will we see Anna again this chapter?
Anna? Oh, we’ll be seeing her again soon, yeah.
And, Brandon, should we anticipate a meeting between Nightmare and Anna?
Will there be FIREWORKS?
Will Marcy take sides and will an anti-Tim Coalition of Angry Females be formed?
Are Middy and Shadow going to be invited to join?
I am essentially interested about her future baby and, if I have understood well, the father is Terminus.
I hope Noxians don,t subject their criminals to Capital Punishment.
I think it,s wrong and we are better then that.
Kryptonians never used Capital Punishment instead they put their criminals in the Phantom Zone
which Jor-El discovered.Before that they were reformed in space aboard ships orbiting Krypton.
There was even a time on Krypton
when it,s criminals were made to take a pill that made their bones shine when exposed to a searchlight.
Will you ever do some sort of background on Noxians? I’m curious as to the nature of blood line linage in this story. It’s already been shown that Tim is a hybrid, his mother is the sister of Moonlight (thus making her Tim’s aunt), but what of the other noxians? Moonlight refers to the girls as her children, but is that a literal sense? Would Terminus be Tim’s cousin?
Stop talking like a politician and get to the point. Jeez!
The Va-Shakk from Strikeforce Morituri marked it,s criminals with a brand.
I wonder the Kryptonians ever did the same.
NM looking pretty damn cute here!
Also, i’m really starting to think that our friend here may be different than he was last time.. (at least to start with.. if he is talking about his actual intent/goal here)
