"Saying all my love, cos' you're my greatest love, you caught my eye, I'm looking at you baby"

"True Bliss? Java how can I love someone who listens to pop so much?" a voice inquired from the doorway.

Java turned and arched an eyebrow, "You have something against pop music Ram?"

"Understatement of the century- I prefer techno music myself," he answered.

Java snorted, "Only you would."

"Tomorrow Java, tomorrow is show time," Ram said to her.

She nodded and looked down, "Mega already told me. I can't wait," she replied somewhat sadly.

"Javie then why the long face?"

"Oh nothing…." She said.

"Is this about cyberspace again… because we already went through this," he said automatically.

"I know we did…. It's just that… look Lord Ram- it's nothing important- you should sleep. I'll be good here," Java conceded.

"If you're sure," he said wheeling towards the door.

"Yea, I'm sure"

(That Night)

As they lay in his bed- him totally uncaring and blank she couldn't help but look around. He was a straight shooter- everything was plain, and in their place. Not a single thing out of line, hanging loose, or messy. Everything was ordered. Hell the man categorised his SOCKS.

There wasn't a single picture. Not a single hint of a past. His bed was the only thing uneven right now with two bodies half dangled in a black harsh fabric blanket on a cold hard and stiff bed. She couldn't help but look at him so engrossed in his laptop- on the screen was program they were going to use on Ram- he just keep alerting it. Ignoring the fact that she was in his bed- he truly was asexual.

Java she needed and craved for that attention- Ram wouldn't touch- at least he would. But he was so uninterested. Uncaring. It was just some way to toe in her- and she knew but that didn't stop her- at least Mega didn't turn her away- he just ignored her.

She had such a bottomless feeling about the next day- she wasn't… she didn't want to kill him. Sure for all his faults- she still loved him but this wasn't about that. She wanted power- and the only sure was Mega- it was that or join Ram. So then why was she still having second thoughts…. Sighing she turned back towards Mega.
"Do you ever do anything besides work?"

"No"

"Do you sleep?"

"No"

"Eat?"

"Not if I can help it"

"Do you feel?"

"No- do have a point asking me pointless questions?" he inquired semi annoyed still looking at his screen.

"No… I'm just having…"

"You're just having doubts? About tomorrow? Java, we already WENT through this," he said frustrated.

"I know, but I need to hear again"

"Fine," he said slamming his laptop cover down and turning to her with anger clearly there but not quite showing on his face, "Ram is using you. He loves Ebony- he always favoured Siva to you. And you'll NEVER have the power you want under him.

We HAVE to get rid of him. His obsessive compulsive attitude mixed with pathetic paranoia is putting a cramp in our work. He wants to ENTERTAIN the city not rule it. He wants a giant circus with us as the circus animals- and the city as the kids in the stands cheering us on. He is a locust that has to DIE. He wants to enter some fantasy world that doesn't exist and he never thinks about you. Is there anything else that you need to hear that you know is true or that enough?" he demanded.

Java now filled with tears in her eyes nodded her head wordlessly- yea, that was enough all right. It was enough for her to take a gun and shoot Ram and Mega in the head, Ram for hurting her- and Mega for being a jerk off.

"Good then go sleep or whatever is the hell you do but either way I need to get back to work and stop bothering me"

"Yes sir," she said in a cold voice a second later.

(The next day)

She killed him. She couldn't believe that she killed him. He was dead. She shot him- and not with her zapper. She felt numb- she felt colder than cold- she was solid as an ice cap by now.

She watched him go down, and the blood spill all around. She saw the cold smirk on Mega's face- the smile. She saw the tears filling her eyes as Ram's dead eyes looked up at her with this expression of terror, hurt, and betrayal written so clearly on his face.

Java then saw some near premonition of the future. No, she wasn't psychic but you didn't have to be psychic to see it. She saw death- massive death. Famine. She saw little kids everywhere suffering. She tears and pain. Mega was behind it all- that cold smile told it to her all- she had handed the city over to him on a sliver platter.

She then saw the dead bodies turning to her- all of them looked and sounded like Ram but they said something different.

"You let him loose"

"You betrayed us"

"You killed me"

"You sent us all to our deaths"

"You ruined my life"

"I spent my life as a slave because of you"

"I watched my mother die"

"My father died because of you"

"You set that monster free"

"You created this Java. YOU DID"

Java couldn't help but shallow- she stifled her tears- she could not afford this. She could not afford to feel remorse or guilt now. So what? They were just people. Who cared what happened to them. She had been hurt. Ram deserved it. He hurt her.

But why did she have that feeling that Mega was going to need to be destroyed too before it was too late? However, before she could even consider it Amber headed towards her.

Amber. God. Java so didn't want to deal with this right now but she had to. She just had to. She forced herself to focus when Amber kept shouting.

"Java! Java?"

"What?" Java said somewhat harshly turning to her with anger filled eyes as she shoved down the pain and agony she was feeling along with her thoughts about killing Mega.

"I- I just wanted to say thanks for helping us," Amber said.

Java snorted- did this woman have no clue? Apparently not. No, she didn't help- she had thrown her to the lions.

"I didn't do this for you or your tribe," Java said in a tight voice.

"I know… you did it for Mega right?" Amber asked.

Java looked at her in shock briefly- did Amber know their plan! Was she on their side and no one told her? No, wait… that couldn't be it.

"Why would you think that?" she demanded.

"Oh, you and him aren't… oh, I thought maybe…"

Java rolled her eyes, "No, we're not. Mega's not my type," she with a hint of attitude.
"Oh what is your type?" Amber said.

"Someone with messed up zulu knots and a stick up her butt," Java said deadpan.
Amber just turned to her with a slight glare.

"Kidding. No, I'm not Mega's type," she replied shrugging as she started to walk away.

"Oh and what is Mega's type?" Amber inquired now facing Java's back.

"A former techno General named Jay"

"Funny"

Java started to walk and as she did called back, "That wasn't a joke"

Amber's mouth hung open as Java smirked coldly and walked off- on second thoughts- she wouldn't feel bad about the future. She might just enjoy it after all.
