Summary:

Tally doesn't care for being famous.

Work Text:

The first time Tally sees her own face on other people, while infiltrating a city in a smart-plastic ugly disguise, she stops and stares.

“Icy, huh?” The younger Tallys giggle.

She smiles through the plastic and walks away.

Black eyes. Thin lips. Sharp cheekbones. Celtic-knot flash tattoos pulsing above their eyebrows. It’s not her own face, exactly - less scary-making than Dr. Cable’s Special design - but close enough to make her sick. After everything she sacrificed so people could be themselves, they still want to be like everybody else.

The older she gets, the more she fears that Cable was right.
