Subway cluster is the parahuman group formed around situation that led to Lily's trigger.

Structure

Unlike other cluster groups, their interaction is mostly limited to a strong personality bleed-over, where unused skills and habits get shunted to other clustermates, but even in this case all clustermates mostly benefited from it (at least in a way shards capable of delivering it).<ref name="bleed"> “I think I got the singing from you,” Homer said. “I remember the violin case. Some musical talent. I guess not violin, specifically.”

“I sang before. It’s been a while since I did.”

“If you picked it up again, I’d lose the ability,” Homer said.

May nodded.

“It’s subtle,” he said.

“I’ve been really into putting all kinds of fun things up my nose and into my arm,” May said. “Is that from you?”

“I was never an addict. I used regularly, but I never had to,” Homer said. He paused. “I haven’t used in a while.”

“We each get what the others don’t want.”

“Seems like it. Or what we have in abundance.”

“I checked in on our third,” May said. “She’s serious now. Dedicated, disciplined. She doesn’t hate it either. I’m the opposite. She and I switched places.” - Excerpt from Interlude 12.z II</ref> Kiss/kill dynamic arose later, in a more general manner.

History

Background

In 2008,<ref name="Wog1">Foil is 17 and a senior. She triggered 3 years prior to her appearance, as part of a group trigger in New York. One of her old nemeses, March, was another part of that group trigger. - Wildbow, archived on Spacebattles</ref> Lily was attacked by her sister, who was acting strange and violent. Their struggle knocked them and several people onto the tracks. The subway train came immediately after, causing several people to die and three people to trigger.<ref>Blinding 11.10</ref>

This led to a persistent antagonism between two of them.<ref>Sentinel 9.3</ref> ,

Post-Timeskip

March came after Flechette, now renamed Foil, two times while in Brockton Bay. On the second 'visitation' March kidnapped Foil's leman Parian.<ref>Interlude 5y II</ref>

Gold Morning

Two members of the group, and possibly others, survived the event.

Early-Ward

They met again at the Mathers Compound Assault.
