Hey guys! sladerules here. I was kinda bored and couldn't sleep so I took a minute and wrote this little one shot. It isn't much, but oh well. let me know what you guys think!
perfection... the very thought of it being the one thing everyone desires but no one can obtain, fascinated her to no end.
She'd imagine what It's like, to be perfect, in every sense of the word. How close is she to being Perfect? Would she be anything like she is currently? Or would she be an entirely different person.
These are the types of questions Satya Vaswani pondered when she worked. Most would find her train of thought to be over complicated, but someone of her profession benefits from such thinking. She was assigned to Make the impossible. Might as well dream of something as impossible as perfection.
Alas, these thoughts had to wait. She heard the door behind her open as two men walked into her lab. One being her employer and acquaintance, Sanjay Korpal. The other is a man she had never seen in person, but anyone could notice at sight. His presence gave her a sense of discomfort.
Hiding any showing of Worry, she greeted them.
"Mr. Korpal," she began, "It is nice to see you today."
Sanjay's mouth curled slightly, happy to see his best Architect continue to advance her work.
"It is nice to see you as well, Satya," he claimed, as they nodded to one another, "Today, I brought someone who was very interested in your progress with Hard light."
He turned to the man as Satya struggled to meet his eyes. If the man noticed, he didn't show to acknowledge it as he reached his hand out.
"It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Miss Vaswani,"
She went to meet his hand with her own as he gave a firm shake. He gripped her hand without hurting her, but enough to give himself a sense of Authority and control.
"The Pleasure is Mine, Mr. Ogundimu"
As they retracted their hands, Sanjay spoke up, explaining the reasonings behind bringing The man to Satya's Lab.
"Now you must be wondering why I brought Mr. Ogundimu here today," he started, "well he grew interested in your work and he was hoping to be able to have you work in Collaboration with him."
She gained a confused expression, this man's history suggests that he would use her technology in ways she wouldn't approve. To which, Sanjay quickly acknowledged.
"Now I know, he doesn't have the most favorable background, but Ever since he was released, he has focused on further advancing Prosthetics and tools to help the physically impaired."
Despite Sanjay's reasonings, Satya never lost her Questioning look as she analyzed the man in front of her. Despite Sanjay's claims, she isn't dumb enough to take his words at face value.
"And how do I know that my technology won't be used inappropriately... or through suggestive means?" She questioned, to which Sanjay didn't get a chance to respond as the man walked up to her.
"I understand your doubt in me," he started, " but you misunderstand my intentions, the world has suffered countless times through acts of War and Conflict, some of which, I am responsible for. However, this isn't about making soldiers, but helping those who have fallen..."
"Like yourself?" She questioned, as she gained a firm expression, "don't think that I can't take your words for what they are. For you to claim to not be interested in war and expect me to believe that is a insult to my intellect. So try harder, Doomfist.
The man let out a sigh, if he was frustrated, he clearly knew how to keep it in check as he spoke once more.
"Miss Vaswani, I am beginning to lose patience with you. You of all people should know what it's like to struggle with impairments that keep you from-"
Symmetra didn't let him finish as she went Off,
"And I have no Patience for your Lack of Imagination. No amount of excuses should limit you from making your Dreams a reality. Regardless of what people expect from you."
The man was shocked by her claim, but couldn't interject as she Continued,
"I have lived all my life hearing people Doubt me because of my condition, but I don't Indulge in their Naivety because my reality expands beyond their greatest comprehension.
Look at what I accomplished. In spite of what everyone believed, I have done the impossible and that is in not in thanks or In spite of my condition."
She stood tall and firm through her speech, seeing his anger slowly crack, but that wouldn't let her lose her own nerve. Before anyone could do anything, Sanjay interjected them and pulled Akande away.
"Akande, please calm down. We can discuss this when we are all in a calmer state of mind."
As he walked Doomfist out of the door. He looked at her with an annoyed look. Clearly not happy with her statements. However, this didn't phase her.
After all...
She isn't perfect.
