+<!-- Watch using his power to look for and find Weaver and Cuff:
+Scarab 25.3 said:
+“Watch,” Topsy said, as he climbed out of the truck.
+Not a statement. A name. I felt my heart sink a touch. Of all the motherfucking people he could have hired-
+“What?” his lieutenant asked.
+“They’ve got to be close. Take a second, look for them. Mockshow? Get us moving.”
+It didn’t take Watch two seconds to turn and face the alley where Cuff and I were hiding.
+“It’s Watch,” I whispered, “They’re on to us. Go.”
+Weaver thinking about Watch:
+Scarab 25.3 said:
+Watch was a package deal like Grace or Circus. A lot of powers, flexible. His specific powers weren’t on record, but it was fairly well known that he was capable of short bursts of intense, short-ranged clairvoyance. He could see people’s biology, ignore the issues of light, darkness or intervening objects, and he had a limited super speed coupled with what had been dubbed ‘phantom hands’. The ability to reach through people like Shadow Stalker might, targeting particular aspects of people’s body to shred arteries or tear through nerves with his fingers and fingernails.
+He was a monster who left his victims dead if they were lucky, quadriplegic if they weren’t. Maybe that was ableist, but I didn’t fancy being left to rely on the care of others for the rest of my natural life, suffering what was, by all accounts, an indescribably painful case of phantom limb.
+Watch noticing and taking out Weaver's bugs:
+Scarab 25.3 said:
+“What the hell was that?” Mockshow asked.
+“Wards. … this, it’s a trap,” Watch said. He’d made his way back down the side of the building, where Topsy’s power had oriented gravity at a right angle. He was calm as he spoke, “They shut down this … area, and they’re making …cal strikes to disable us. Even the fact that …show here doesn’t have a … and I’m wearing sneakers instead of boots, they wanted that. They want us unprepared, angry, even cold.”
+“I’m paying you to get me out of this kind of situation,” Topsy said. “Do your job. How do we handle this?”
+“They want us pissed enough to fight,” Watch said. “Don’t. Also… yeah. Bug bitch tagged us. Here.”
+He reached for Mockshow, and she slapped his hand away. He caught her wrist, simultaneously capturing her arm and blocking the path of the cockroach I’d hidden in between her sweatshirt and her jacket. He plucked it out.
+“Ew! Ew, ew!”
+With a systematic, accurate and patient series of movements, Watch began catching and killing every single one of my bugs. Slowly but surely, I was being rendered blind and deaf. It would make tracking a great deal harder.
+Scarab 25.3 said:
+“Could fight,” Watch said. “…ther plan. Let me kill these last few, then I’ll …”
+Over the ensuing four or five seconds, he killed the bugs I’d planted on him despite my best effort to retreat them to inconvenient and inaccessible areas.
+Revel talking about Watch:
+Scarab 25.3 said:
+“We’re safe,” I said, taking flight to keep my eyes on the villains. “There’ more danger if you derail the plan. They won’t even see us.”
+“Watch sees everything,” Revel answered. “Everything within range of conventional eyesight, from every angle.”
+Watch using his power to see behind the wall Golem and Tecton made:
+Scarab 25.3 said:
+Their attempt to occupy me and break away might have worked, if it weren’t for Golem and Tecton. The villains had come to a complete stop as they reached the barrier. A row of asphalt and concrete hands, the gaps filled by Tecton’s power. The wall was as tall as the buildings on either side of it, spanning the breadth of the street.
+Topsy began to use his power, moving snow at the far left of the wall, no doubt intending to scale the structure, move over the wall. Watch stopped him.
+They turned to run instead, moving parallel with the wall.
+Watch, I guessed, had seen Tecton, Golem, and the two PRT trucks on the other side of the wall, ready to spray the villains with containment foam.-->
