A/N: The chapters with Bryan are going to be fairly dark.
Chapter 10: ...A Dish... Bryan's POV
I was beyond furious as the offending instrument hit the far wall, shattering explosively. Let them repair that laptop! I just wish I could break that little brat so easily. Everything had been going so smoothly until she stuck her nose in! The latest round of malfunctions had them all running around, scratching their collective heads like a bunch of Basic Programming students, even the know-it-all McKay. I could hear them all debating shutting everything down, closing the cell door on the child AI before she knew what hit her, leaving me free to retrieve what I had come for. So close. I could have grabbed the killer while it was all dark and left as soon as the power was back, when they could do nothing but sit and watch. Eventually, I might have even told them where to find the body, but no...
He had corrupted her beyond saving, somehow. The interfering little bitch had seen what I was doing, found a hole and ruined everything! Now I was stuck here, the gate sealed by that stupid shield, which she had somehow protected with his command codes. Clever little thing, really. I had worked so very, very long for this day...
I could still remember the day that he had consigned her to death, so clear. Colorado had always been so beautiful in the winter, so crystal clear it seemed to be out of one of her fairy tales. It was supposed to even have the happy ending for us after so many years, so much pain... She kept promising me that it would all be done soon, that no one would ever again be able to hurt us. We had such plans, such dreams of adventure and exploring, together, wherever they sent her. And with one act, it was all gone. She was gone. They had come and told me, said she hadn't suffered any pain, probably hadn't even known anything had happened...
But they were wrong. She had felt the agony. It was clear on every inch of her beaten, mauled body when they finally found her, so many months later. I promised her she would one day rest in peace, and she believed me. I just never thought it would take me to an ultra-secret facility and then to another galaxy. It was almost over now. All the years of recreating myself, falsifying all those records, burning that stupid orphanage, all would finally be worth it. Now, though, it was finished, wasted. They would find me, stop me, and my Bree would never be free.
Only if you stop advertising the fact that you're here. It doesn't matter if he got her to lock the gate, there's plenty of room in this city. Make him bleed right under their noses, shove his actions in front of them. They will see the Justice that you meet out. Make him suffer for me, Bryan!
Soon, little sister, beloved twin. So very soon.
