577 "Love"

My original plan was for Lucy to do this easily, like she was an expert at sneaking in places. But it seemed like it should be the opposite, and she's try something tricky and be really clumsy about it.

Lucy was going to have a different power early in the series. She was going to be able to give people verbal commands and they would have to comply. She'd only be able to give two or three in a row and then her voice would go out until she rested it. She was going to need to help Annie and Tabitha at the end of what became the sleepwalkers arc. Originally it was going to be an arc about building a prison in the complex, and Controller Crown would be one of the people there who was hard to fight. There were a few unresolved elements to building up to that included, but I thought what I switched it to better progressed more of the characters– at the expense of Thunder Punch, Deuce, Uno, and Lucy.
