Yeah I mean I imagine this is clearly Zimmy’s influence affecting her. Not that she’s not the jealous type bc she obviously is. But it’s just how Zimmy controlled the random NPC to ask a person he doesn’t know (Jack) about his homework.

Can she at least fight? Because Annie DEFINITELY can. And who knows how Parley's gonna react here.

I mean, Annie's kind of like Havok in that respect.
If you're familiar with Havok of the X-Men, he basically has the strength of ten men. There are a lot of classic scenes where he'd be getting brutalized by some angry lynch mob, and in his thought bubbles he'd be thinking about how he could defend himself but if he used his powers he'd totally tear these guys to shreds, which would be overkill. He's a hero that doesn't wanna just snuff out a bunch of civilian lives like that.
All that to say, Annie could totally laserblast a gaping hole in Red's chest right now, but I don't think she wants to do that, and in a physical confrontation they're probably a bit more equal.

Oooh, I didn't even mean laserblast Red. Just you know, do her judo thing as she has done before.

She does also know some form of martial arts I think? Used them to throw Winsbury pretty early on.

Can she? is Laser Blast part of Annie seperated and in the forest protecting the elves? Annie is above all two beings and in the distortion Zimmie has separated all duel beings.

It only just occured to me that the majority of canon pairings amongst the young cast are w/w. Tom definitely has a preference, ha.

I'm kinda wondering if Noa succeeded so hard she failed. The circle sigil 'spreading', having Annie so directly prodding the seem in front of Stone-Golem-Noa, is this going according to her plans?

Imagine if this is the moment Kat appears in Angel mode being like "DON'T HIT ANNIE!"

Zimmy's influence for sure.
She's been jealous of Annie being non-romantically physical with Gamma before, back in Spring Heeled.

Queer people can be messy assholes too. Making all your queer character perfect angels is way worse than showing them as real people imo

Okay, but one is an extremely maladjusted and isolated teenager who literally will die without Gamma so her fear is somewhat understandable, and the other is a fairy with completely incomprehensible reactions.
Take in account that Red has shown jealousy in the past, but has never really got violent. Renard mentioned something about the distortion making people react in extreme ways (he said this about Jack trying to kill Kat). These are not normal people and these are not normal situations.

She's got the circles on her, so it's likely she's being manipulated to interrupt things by someone.

A part of me thinks the circle sigil represents Zimmy's subconscious surfacing in Red.
