Week 3 - Prompts Provided By MavJade - Robocop: The Series (AU... very, very AU...)

11. Professor

It is three years before a package arrives with no return address, and the woman hesitates before opening it, at home alone for once because her husband is off at work and the kids are at school. With gloved hands, she opens the package carefully... only to find first a letter from someone named Charles Lippincott, explaining the contents, and a holographic message for her daughter Diana to see on her 18th birthday.

Lois frowns at the letter, wondering who this man was and how and when her deceased sister had gotten married. Had they eloped? Why hadn't Diana told her?

12. School

The man looked ordinary as she watched him from the safety of the hallway of the Henry Ford Center For the Morally Challenged, Lois observed. Locked in his cell on the other side of mirrored glass, he did not strike her as someone who would lead a corporate takeover and kill a dozen people. She wanted to ask him things, ask him why her sister... what had led him down this path to hurt people?

In the end, she simply stood there, watching him in silence with Charlie on one side and a guard on the other. Whatever he would have had to say, it never would have been enough for all the hurt he had caused.

13. Gifted

It looked like any other police precinct, she noticed as she entered the building. Busy, cluttered with people of all sorts, and not nearly enough officers to manage it all. A young girl with brown hair in a pony tail ran past her, and Lois blinked after her for a moment. What was a child doing here?

"That's Gadget," someone spoke up, and Lois turned to see a woman in plain clothes with brown curly hair up in a braid. "She lives here."

Lois nodded, distracted. "Right. I... is there a Charles Lippincott here?"

The woman paused. "You want Charlie? Sure, he's here. Come on."

14. Karma

Lisa motioned the woman to wait a moment before entering the tech room, making sure that propriety was maintained on behalf of Robo... who wasn't even in the building right now. She nodded to herself, then stepped back and motioned the woman in. "Charlie? Someone to see you."

Charlie looked up from the readout on the computer monitor he'd been studying with a slight frown. "What?" Then he blinked, startled at the sight of the woman standing beside Lisa, for she bore a striking resemblance to his translucent wife. "Oh. Hello."

15. Gambit

The story this man told her of meeting and falling for her sister due to a work assignment was endearing and heartwarming all at once. She could see it, the two of them bonding over programming and paperwork, and Lois finally let herself smile for the first time in what felt like ages. They were in this together, this odd man named Charlie and her, for they had lost the same person in the same way, to madness and crime. Slowly, she pulled out a small photo album out of her purse and handed it to him.

Charlie perused the pictures for a minute, then frowned at her. "Who is this?"

Lois smiled. "This is Diana, my daughter. It's only right that you should see these, sir. You're family."
