Editing Victoria Dallon (section)

===Post-[[Time Bubble Pop]]===
Victoria is a part of the group that oversees the exile of [[Drillbit]], [[Sightly]], [[Copse]], and [[Happyland]].

[[Jessica Yamada]] returns, and speaks to every member of Breakthrough, excluding Victoria. Later, they talk one on one, and Yamada reveals that she believes Victoria to be a threat to the team, as an incriminating diary had been found in her possession. One that Victoria did not write.
She leaves the Wardens Headquarters, checks her computer, finds the planted diary and shows it to Tattletale. Together with Sveta, they follow Tattletale's lead to figure out who manifactured the diary. During this process, Victoria meets [[Ratcatcher]] again, uncovers [[The Old Man]]<ref>[[Black 13.8]]</ref> at the [[Earth Nun]] villain hub and gets confronted by [[Engel]]'s emotion power, which almost causes a mental breakdown. However, with the help of the [[Case 53]]s, they are able to identify [[Teacher]] as the definitive suspect, forcing him to make a move and proving that the diary was not real.

Once back at the Wardens HQ, [[Dragon]] apologizes to Victoria for the suspicion. Shortly after, during a meeting with [[The Wardens]] and several team leaders, including Victoria, Dragon reveals that she is an AI.<ref>[[Black 13.11]]</ref> Victoria begins to disregard the teachings of her therapist and decides to prioritize her cape-life over trying to have a civilian life.<ref>“If we can’t beat Teacher, we might have to make hard decisions,” I said, still trying to get to grips. I was aware of Engel behind me.<br/><br/>“Hard? I don’t follow,” Sveta said.<br/><br/>"Whether we take our lumps, play nice, and trust that people will turn around… or if we stop treating them like they’re a consideration?”<br/><br/>“Them?” Sveta asked.
    “Civilians.”<br/><br/>“Victoria, no,” Sveta said, sounding genuinely horrified. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/05/11/black-13-11/ Excerpt] from [[Black 13.11]]</ref><ref>Jessica wanted to get us to a place where we were dealing.  Where we were equipped with the skills to battle our own issues, to handle conflict and confrontations.
I’d tried that.  I was so, so weary of it.  The game.  The back and forth.  Consideration, when none was extended back.  It was so hard, so difficult.  I was so tired of dealing.  I wanted to at least consider what we needed to do so things were dealt with. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/05/11/black-13-11/ Excerpt] from [[Black 13.11]]</ref> While the heroes and Tattletale talk, Victoria and Jessica have a short exchange, after which Victoria turns to [[Mr. Bough]] and proposes a deal. Bough is to restore [[Sveta]]'s body in exchange for a more comfortable stay in exile. Sveta and [[Vista]] burst in, but Bough accepts the deal and with Sveta's consent, the operation begins some days after and succeeds.

The Wardens plan a coordinated attack on [[Teacher]], who resides in [[Cauldron]]'s old compound. The attack is being delayed by several days due to preparations and team Breakthrough ends up having to confront [[Gary Nieves]] in public, who reveals that [[Panacea|her sister]] has mutilated another person on Shin, in a similar way to what she did to Victoria.<ref>“Your sister, Antares, who is supposedly being watched, apparently just did to someone else what she did to you four years ago, when she put you in the hospital.  She was sick then, she’s sick now, and no, I don’t think anyone’s watching closely enough." - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/05/25/breaking-14-3/ Excerpt] from [[Breaking 14.3]]</ref> The group teams up with [[Miss Militia]], [[Golem]] and Vista to meet the leadership of [[Earth Shin]]. Together with the leadership, they also encounter the Dallon parents, [[Chris Elman|Chris]], [[Marquis]] and Amy.<ref>[[Breaking 14.4]]</ref>

[[Brandish]] is recovering from her injuries and signals to Victoria, that they are in need of help.<ref>[[Breaking 14.5]]</ref> Victoria confronts Amy, while Miss Militia speaks to [[Luis]] and the other leaders of Shin. Amy reluctantly admits, that the victim of her power use was [[Hunter]]. Vicky offers Amy to visit the Wardens HQ, so that she can talk to a therapist, but secretly hopes that the Wardens decide to dump Amy into the prison world. She also threatens Amy, that she will ensure her punishment, if Amy can't restore Hunter. Their talk ends and the group returns to Miss Militia. [[Luis]] then orders for the group of [[Earth Gimel|Gimel]] capes to be arrested. Trusting Miss Militia, they comply.<ref>[[Breaking 14.6]]</ref>

Team [[Breakthrough]], [[Vista]] and [[Golem]] end up in a prison on Earth Shin. [[Amy]] and her parahumans remain in supervision nearby. Once in private, [[Kenzie]] reveals that she is still connected to the rest of her new team via her tinker tech. Vista openly confesses to [[Byron Vera]]. Right on the next morning, the group is violently attacked by both guards and prisoners. They try to defend themselves without using their powers and suffer severe injuries. One of Victoria's hands gets skinned.<ref>[[Breaking 14.8]]</ref> They have a short meeting with [[Citrine]], who came to negotiate for their freedom. Victoria is led to a medical station, where she gets drugged and knocked out.

When she wakes up, she is alone with Amy and notices that the skin of her hand has been provisionally regenerated. The two sisters talk. Amy confirms that she used the opportunity to peek into Victoria's psychology. It is unclear if she changed anything. Implications suggest that Amy abused Victoria in the time before she went to the Birdcage.<ref>“I mean, it’s obvious that that kind of side of me is going to be bigger and more pronounced in comparison. You took all the parts of me you liked and mashed it all together into a big pile of lovey-dovey ‘Vicky’ you could cuddle with, kiss, use-”<br/><br/>She shook her head, violent.<br/><br/>“Don’t shake your head at me. Yes. You used me to soothe yourself. You said you loved me but well before you made me into the w- into that mess that had to go to the hospital, you made me into something that wasn’t Victoria, for your own selfish wants.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/06/15/breaking-14-9/ Excerpt] from [[Breaking 14.9]]</ref> Amy also reveals a little bit about the [[Shard]]'s endgame<ref> Dot clambered up her arm to her shoulder. “The ‘because’ is that Scion’s species’ life cycle didn’t stop just because he did.  Even if you don’t fertilize an egg, the chicken is still going to lay it.  All of the passengers are going to fumble together for connections, gather and translate power, and they’re going to… try to spread themselves to other places of interest.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/06/15/breaking-14-9/ Excerpt] from [[Breaking 14.9]]</ref> and parts of [[Teacher]]'s plan.<ref>“Teacher’s exploiting the system,” she said, her voice almost emotionless.  “He’s going to pick a fight sooner or later, and it’s going to be devastating.  He manufactured a crack, he’s going to intentionally create more.  Each one gives him more access to the system and more control over the levers and knobs that decide everything else.  He can force-create a Dauntless and the ones he makes will listen to him.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/06/18/breaking-14-10/ Excerpt] from [[Breaking 14.10]]</ref> Victoria convinces [[Dot]] to ensure that Amy doesn't bring herself into more trouble. Once back with her team, she declares Master-stranger protocols on herself out of the suspicion that Amy altered her. The team brings her into the loop, namely that the Wardens mounted the attack on Teacher without them and that Sveta has been taken into custody.

Antares talks to Sveta. Then Kenzie informs the team that she was able to overhear a meeting between Shin officials.<ref>"Kenzie looked around, then slapped the wall.  She blinked a few times.  “Listened in on the phones, my team gave it to Miss Militia to translate, she got back to us while you were gone.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/06/22/breaking-14-11/ Excerpt] from [[Breaking 14.11]] </ref> Breakthrough assumes that an assassination attempt is being planned by [[Yosef]]'s faction to frame them. Since [[Kamil Armstrong]] is being sent by to pick them up upon release, they suspect he will be the target. They convince some of the other prisoners to start a riot as a distraction. Using Vista's power, they escape from their cell. A fight with Chris and [[Coalbelcher]] breaks out, while [[Crock o’Shit]] escorts Armstrong. Breakthrough wins the fight and Vicky convinces Chris to play along.<ref>[[Breaking 14.12]]</ref> Meanwhile, [[Crock o’Shit]] prepares to execute Armstrong, but Sveta rescues him. Breakthrough is released, the assassination thwarted.

[[Laserdream]] welcomes Victoria and [[Brandish|her mother]] back on Earth Gimel, while her father remains on Shin with her sister.<ref>
“What happened?” Crystal asked, hugging back.  “Where’s Uncle Mark?”
“He’s staying behind, to keep an eye on Amy,” Aunt Carol said. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/07/02/dying-15-a/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 15.a II]]</ref> Victoria hides that she is mentally unwell. After returning to the Wardens HQ, she attends Citrine's meeting for the upcoming second wave of the attack on Teacher's base. Most of the Wardens, [[Advance Guard]], [[Foresight]] and [[The Shepherds]] were part of the first wave, all of which are now missing in action.<ref>“A few hours ago, our precogs and danger sensers gave us our best numbers yet for an attack on Teacher’s facility.  Many members of Warden leadership, Advance Guard, Foresight, and the Shepherds entered.  We received regular status updates-” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/07/02/dying-15-a/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 15.a II]]</ref> Team Breakthrough leaves Kenzie and her team of children behind, proceeds to fight some of Teacher's thralls and enters Teacher’s facility through one of Teacher's portals, together with [[Imp]], [[The Heartbroken]], [[Love Lost]], [[Colt]], [[Fume Hood]], [[The Major Malfunctions]] and some of Citrine's [[Mortari]] capes.<ref>Dying 15.1</ref>

Within Teacher's facility, the heroes are almost immediately involved in non-stop fighting. Victoria helps to defeat some thralls and moves on alone, reaching the Gallery, where a rather large portion of Teacher's army fights [[Balk]], [[Stonewall]] and other presumably first-wave heroes. Victoria gets almost immediately shot out of the air by a sniper thrall with enhanced accuracy, but the Wardens save her life and take her into their PRTCJ flyer formation, where she witnesses how the Wardens kill dozens of teacher's minions.<ref>Dying 15.2</ref> The rest of Victoria's group catches up with her and while leaving Balk's formation, she notices that one of the flying capes among them is [[Lady Photon]], her dead aunt.<ref>
My eyes settled on the culprit.  The forcefield cape.  The feeling crystallized as I caught her looking back at me with those eerie eyes.
Aunt Sarah. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/07/09/dying-15-2/ Excerpt] from [[Dying 15.2]]</ref>

Antares is able to exchange a few words with her undead aunt, but the fighting continues. The heroes retreat deeper into the former Cauldron compound. They end up fighting more of Teacher's parahumans, this time unenthralled ones. Victoria hesitantly kills for the first time in her life, after [[Rain]] confirms that she should do it.<ref>“Do I count?” Rain asked.
“Yeah.  But do you really want to make that call?  Because I really don’t.”
“I don’t either.  But I think it’s necessary.  This guy won’t stop unless he stops for good.” - [[Dying 15.4]]</ref> During the short downtime after the encounter, Victoria calls Kenzie to give her a status update. There she finds out, that Kenzie has discovered dangerous intel from Teacher. She arranges for Tattletale to look after Kenzie.

She and her group are victorious against three [[Saint]]-modified [[Dragon]]-mechs<ref>[[Dying 15.5]]</ref>. Following [[Imp]]'s plan to free a high priority target from within the compound's cell block, the raiders split up. [[The Custodian]] guards the cells. Antares and her team keep her busy, while Imp frees the prisoner: [[Contessa]].<ref>[[Dying 15.7]]</ref> Contessa fends off the Custodian and offers the present heroes and villains three options for how her power should be used to stop [[Teacher]]'s plan. The group holds a vote. While doing so, Teacher collapses an entire part of the compound to hinder Contessa. They survive due to Contessa's directions. While Teacher's army begins to surround them, Contessa joins with two [[Harbinger Clones]] and [[Mortari]] capes, demanding an answer. Most of the others reveal their choices to each other and due to [[Sveta]]'s inteference, they decide to not give Contessa an answer, but she already figured it out. 

Contessa gives them instructions for the upcoming fight. Antares, [[Rain|Rain O'Fire Frazier]], [[Colt]], [[Love Lost]], [[Juliette Vasil]] and [[Chastity Vasil]] fight [[Valefor]], but not before Antares sees [[Mama Mathers]], becoming affected by her power. Before killing Valefor, Rain asks Victoria for confirmation to kill, which she grants him.<ref>“Do I?” Rain asked.<br/><br/>My turn to answer.<br/><br/>Aware of Colt, I nodded. [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/07/30/dying-15-8/ Excerpt] from [[Dying 15.8]]</ref> Afterwards, the group gathers again to move on to the next step of Contessa's plan. While doing so, Victoria realizes which option Contessa has chosen and that it was also the option she had chosen herself.

Is next seen under attack by [[Secondhand]] of the [[Speedrunners]]. She gets away mostly unscathed, but [[Byron Vera]] is badly injured.<ref>[[Interlude 15.y II]]</ref> Receives backup from [[the Undersiders]] and hears about the death of [[Ashley Stillons II|Swansong]] and [[Samuel Vasil]]. Enraged, she and the rest of Breakthrough move towards Teacher's location. While doing so, a strange phenomenon occurs, where her forcefield begins to act on its own in an unusual, highly coordinated way. [[Teacher]] reveals that Shards reside in a dream dimension, similar to the dreamscape of [[Rain's Cluster]]. Once arrested, Vicky has the opportunity to kill him, but does not use it. Immediately after, a traitor among the [[Wards]] teleports away with Teacher and [[Legend]].<ref>[[Interlude 15.z II]]</ref>
