Editing Ashley Stillons II (section)

====[[Kenzie]]====
Kenzie was able to connect with Ashley where others could not. Such as when the the former villain had an episode following a group training exercise.<ref>[[Glare 3.3]]</ref> Ashley was fond of Kenzie in turn, and defended Kenzie and her progress to one of the Tinker's former teammates [[Houndstooth]]. Calling his assessment of her friends situation inhumane.<ref name="4.4 e5">“Frankly, I’d really lock down the school thing.  See if you can have her rotate classes or do something non-classroom.  Discourage friendships with classmates, because that’s not going to go well.  If she starts showing true ''romantic'' interest in anyone, shut it down hard.  I wouldn’t advise her being on your team, frankly.”<br/><br/>“That’s extreme,” I said.<br/><br/>“It’s dehumanizing and disgusting,” Ashley said.  “Until she’s better, no human contact or relationships.  Nobody can get close to her, nobody can show kindness, nobody can help her or accept help from her?  Just a breath or two away from you saying you don’t ever think she’ll be ''normal''.  You’re disgusting.”<br/><br/>She was starting to walk away, toward the path that had led us up the hill.<br/><br/>“Ashley,” I said.  “I get what you’re saying, but we did agree to hear him out as a favor.”<br/><br/>“You hear him out then,” she said.  “Tell me what you think I need to hear when you tell the others.  But I’m not going to stay here and listen to this degenerate imbecile reduce her to a problem that can be solved like that.  She’s ''human''.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/02/08/shade-4-4/ Excerpt] from [[Shade 4.4]]</ref> After Rain revealed his background Ashley comforted the young tinker as she processed the information.<ref>[[Shade 4.7]]</ref> Ashley worried how participating in the [[Mathers Compound Assault]] affected Kenzie.<ref name="II6.6">When I get in trouble for blasting Beast of Burden, make sure she has someone.  You or someone else.”<br/><br/>I nodded.  “Her parents?”<br/><br/>“Go to that dinner at her house or ask the others if you want an answer to that question.”<br/><br/>I tilted my head a little, trying to see more of her face.  “Usually I can count on you for straight answers.”<br/><br/>“Not about this.  She’d be upset with me and things are hard enough.  She’s upset with me and I’m upset with her. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/05/01/pitch-6-6/ Excerpt] from [[Pitch 6.6]]</ref> She is willing to protect Kenzie's privacy.
