Screwed up Sandiego

"Sara have you run the scan yet?" Carmen asked looking at her scientist who looked haunted as she held a folder in her hands. It had been a few hours since Ivy had tried to kill the boy Joshua only to be knocked out by an electric shock from Sara.

"We're stealing her away until you can learn to play nice." Carmen had told the other detectives on the scene as she easily scooped the unconscious detective into her arms. She had been startled at just how light the girl was.

"Carmen give me my sister! Ivy!" Zack had called out for his sister and the thief had felt bad for how worried he'd be for all of ten seconds until she recalled how he didn't even recognize her outside of her normal outfit.

"I'm going to destroy ACME." Sara said bringing Carmen back to the present and making the thief tense as she noticed the look in her friends eyes. She had seen too much in too short of a time.

"Let me see." Carmen said holding a hand out for the folder and causing Sara to slowly hand it over. Looking at just the first page Carmen's face went stony and cold as she stared at the papers.

"Who did this to her?" Carmen growled out as she clenched the papers so tight that they could rip any second now. Multiple burns and scars from knives and guns and whips and what looked like surgical scars. That wasn't even the worst of it.

"Whoever did it messed with her genetic makeup over a prolonged length of time. This seems to have started years ago, the oldest of the scars that I could exam with the machine puts her at thirteen when this all started." Sara said her voice a dark hiss and earning a horrified look from her boss.

"Who could do this to a thirteen year old? When was the most recent one?" Carmen asked her voice catching slightly as she stared St the papers in horror.

"The day before she joined V.I.L.E." Sara said her voice a near whisper as she blinked back tears.

"That's what she meant. When she said she was tired of everything else." Carmen said in realization and earning a grimace from the scientist.

"If she's had to suffer this through the last four years then I wouldn't blame her. I've heard of POW survivors who don't have scars and damage like hers." Sara said earning a nod of agreement from Carmen who was still reading the report of the wounds.

"And you believe that ACME did it." Carmen said her eyes not leaving the report, even though she flinched at certain parts. Sara knew which parts she was flinching at, and she could tell when Carmen reached the end of the report because her hands began shaking and her eyes watered.

"Forceful sterilization?" Carmen whispered earning a flinch from Sara who nodded.

"Took her uterus out and they weren't gentle or clean about it. I'm amazed she didn't develop an infection yet or suffer worse from the loss of the organ. Carmen… that only happened a few days ago and yet there's no traces of any painkillers or anesthesia in her system. They did it while she was fully able to feel it." Sara said her voice a near whisper as she blinked back tears. She felt depressed for the girl, she was only seventeen!

"I also checked her records. She hasn't been to the hospital ever since she was ten and that had been for a fractured arm and several broken ribs. These things happened to her over a course of years starting at the around the age of thirteen. The only place where this could have been happening without someone noticing was at ACME." Sara said as Carmen handed the papers over before she ripped them by accident.

"Hannah get me Manny. I have a job for him that I want done four years ago." Carmen said spotting the security expert lingering outside of the doorway worried about the fighter in the med-bay. The alarm expert was far from the only one lingering out of the doorway but she was the closest to the door.

"Yes ma'am." Hannah said taking off and going to find the computer expert of their group.

"I have her on a sedative at the moment in case she's still hostile, but she is getting taken off of it in an hour. She should wake up by tomorrow hopefully but with these alterations to her blood I'm not sure what all will affect her." Sara said making Carmen nod slightly in understanding.

"Is she in any danger or pain?" Carmen asked worriedly and earning a helpless shrug from the genius scientist.

"The sedative is a light one, to keep her under and from feeling pain for a while at least. It shouldn't affect her negatively in the least." Sara said earning a sigh of relief from the master thief.

"You asked for me Carmen?" Manny asked as he was nearly shoved into the room by Hannah.

"Hack the ACME files. Search for everything you can get on Ivy and someone called Ares. When that obsessed techie called her Ares and gave her an order she got worse. I want to know why he referred to her as Ares and anything to do with her and her history at ACME. I want to know four years ago." Carmen ordered her voice surprisingly cold as she glared at nothing over Manny's head but it looked like she was glaring at him, making Manny pale and tremble.

"Yes Carmen." Manny said timidly before taking off for his computer.

"You think they'll keep her files on the computer when it's been proven that you could get into it without much effort?" Sara asked looking at her boss who frowned harder at that point.

"Probably not but they may have the hard copy files of it at their HQ or one of their bases that could be implied in her file. We find out where it is, Hannah will disable the alarms and I'll steal the hard copies. Dara and Al will cause a big distraction to keep ACME off of our trails while I do it." Carmen said her voice determined and earning a nod from Sara.

Sara was understanding and stern.

"Good bring those files to me when you get them. I need more information to help her better."
