Goodwill:
"The clones ran away into the sewers," Goodwill explained. "There were too many of them for us to catch them all, and they seemed harmless, so we traded letting them alone in exchange for the next location."
"Adding to that, one of the Norwoods self-destructed when pressed on being a clone. Could have been an identity crisis or a failsafe. Judging by that explosion, it's more to destroy that Norwood than to injure others around them, though being too close is still...not advised. Just, if you find any Norwoods, don't pressure them too much."
Internally, Lynx let out a sigh of relief. The others had said that they would keep her secret, but it was another thing to see them avoid bringing up that topic with the government altogether. Still, this talk of a 'new operative' seemed worrisome. True, adding in another person could help speed up the process of taking out Norwood, but was this going to be a government plant or just another concerned hero? Ch'rava perfectly understood the irony in worrying about someone else being a plant, but she felt it could be justified. Not to mention how tossing another person into the mix could be an issue if Norwood revealed her secret to them. And she wasn't sure she could just trust a brand new hero with that information herself.
At the very least, this would keep her on her toes.
