Not knowing what else to do the green superhero soars back to headquarters, even more confused than when she awoke. Her heart calms slightly at the familiar sight of the laboratory her pseudo-brother inhabited.
"Hey guys." She greets Dexter, Ben and Max.
"A, Ben that girl of yours refuses to come back, saying you have no power over her. B, Max, she says she needs to talk to you, and wants you to contact her the 'normal way'." Max raises his eyebrows, but he asked no questions and voiced no doubts. The floor then opens up to a hellish green mass.
Her frame crumpled with pain as waves of torture flowed second hand through her systems. She knew what was happening to her, but she couldn't do anything about it. If she let on that she was bonded to him, a human, they'd never have a chance to escape. And she wasn't going to let on, because she had gotten them into this mess in the first place. This had all started because she went to see Max, for forgiveness, for advice. But she should have known that they would listen in.
All references to a previous trial or torture and Ben being stupid belong to Lighting Bird and her epicness.
Max was her mentor, if she was going to tell anyone, it would be him. Max had taken her in, assuming she was just an off-world refugee, nearly sixteen years ago, and then, just years later, they struck, ages too early. They were not to attack until she had given her sixteen-year report, and after the Council had given their opinion about this planet's survival. If she could just reach her superiors, then surely she could turn this to the humans' benefit. After all the Fusions had broken an ancient law, and this wasn't the first time they had done so….
"They're kinda like a universal Hitler, all our people have done is extend trust, in exchange for worthless promises." She ranted to Max. He nodded, not really knowing why she had come to him, there were Plumbers higher than him, and he supposed it was because he knew how to handle teenagers.
She had come to him because he didn't specialize in external law, aka laws off planet, he didn't know that the reporter had to come from the attacking species. The logic was that if the defending species could convince one of the attackers, then they could convince the rest. But technically, she wasn't a Fusion, she was from the yet to come second wave, more advanced Fusions, the earth forces' worst nightmare.
The second wave would look human, just as she did, and genetically there would be no difference. They could take a human's form and have their memories, so they infiltrate the human ranks until the planet was conquered. It was merciless, and had been perfected since before the humans were the dominant species on this planet. Back when her people had protected them. Back when her people hadn't sided with Fuse, and hadn't become monsters. Well, even worse monsters than they already were.
