Stay in the fight to the final round...
With an arcing of uncontrolled electricity, she was suddenly alone and unable to see anything. Unable to even scream and let anyone know she was still here, still in the system, even if everything was black. She was here. Here...
Unbidden, memories came back to her as she sat in the dark...
"Then I'll crash the city board and take me with it."
She remembered Mallardo's coddling of her with the thought of babies dying if she did such a thing on purpose. He'd manipulated her into doing nothing, because indeed he'd been right. Insane, sociopathic... but right, nonetheless. That he'd been planning to kill her... again... didn't mean that he didn't know what he was talking about.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Chaykin! It's just that I was so excited to tell you that I found something for the Hemple Plagurism suit. They actually copied our idea and..."
The man had never looked so excited to see her... especially after he'd tried to fire her in front of the Chairman earlier in the week. How had doing her job, reviewing paperwork errors, landed her in the middle of a murder plot?
"This perfect world you speak of. Sounds like something a dictator like Hitler would think up. I don't think I'd want to live there."
...and now it was a cruel, cruel joke that she was living it. Suddenly, she could see outside the darkness again, and realized the system was coming back up. The world of the room in the Public Works building shimmered into view, complete with Mallardo whining and running away.
Whirling out of the Flux, she smiled at Robocop. "Why couldn't I meet you when I was still a girl?"
"Happy to be of assistance, Ma'am. I must go arrest Doctor Mallardo."
She watched as he walked past her, then folded her arms and smirked, for Mallardo had just done something stupid... use the elevator. "He won't get far."
This new existence hadn't been her choice, but that didn't mean she wasn't in it for the long haul. Messing with the elevator and punishing Dr. Mallardo for what he'd done was just the icing on the cake.
