Dreams are like waffles, some times delicious, other times bland, and a few times non-existent.

For Rita awoke in her one bed room apartment as she woke to the surroundings of her clay nick nacks and dolls.

Her apartment consisted of blacks, purples and dark blues.

And right now she looked out to see that the sun was at the point where it was about to be lowered and begin its process of fading off and leaving the City of Night bathed in the Pale Moonlight.

For now she went through the process of stretching, then showering, brushing her teeth, and then getting dressed in her usual outfit as she had the munchies for waffles her only meal as she had been asleep most of the day for her work was mostly done at night.

As Rich watched and absorbed this information he noticed her actions, and thoughts were much more, Soft and Delicate...

The rugged and violent nature was nowhere to be seen.

Her home was clean, her attitude was simple and calming, and she kept a steady routine.

Probably the healthiest person he's ever seen or met.

He saw as she was done with her meal and then washed the dishes she used for her meal and then from there she got her bat and keys and smacked herself in the face with both hands.

As what he could tell from her actions and mind was that she was putting up her front.

Fascinating, but was already something he knew about Rita.

But it did make sense Why she was so determined to get into a fight with him before.

The Boredom must have been a commen occurrence from the days she spends having the same exact routine.

Wanting something different yet instead of doing something more productive she gave into her Facade and chose him as a target.

Probably because he was from an enemy gang and one of the most despised in Watson.

Irritating.

He observed further as he watched the process of her getting from home to work as she drove a motorcycle.

A Yaiba Kusanagi to be exact.

When she arrived at Lizzies she noticed that they were still closed which bothered her because Lizzies should have already been opened before she had got there.

When she entered through the front door she was greeted by the girl behind the counter who she had come close to over the years.

"Wanda, why is the club closed"

"Majority called for a meeting, and they're at it hard right now, and before you ask it's over the Tygers" said Wanda as she wasn't interested because she knew she wasn't going to be the one going on the hit team.

"Damn them, for not giving me a heads up" said Rita as she rushed into the main room for customers.

As Wanda watched Rita go into the main room and was able to put together that not telling Rita was what was planned.

Rich had already come to the same conclusion.

For he was already seeing where this was going.

Rita Enters the next room to already see the meeting was over as there was 3 faces missing.

She takes it up to the Susie immediately.

"What was the call"

"It's none of your business, get out front shops opening already"

"Who did you send"

"Who are the ones not here"

"Damn it, Suz. You know they were just put back together again and you want to send them on a suicide mission"

"Shut Your Damn Mouth, They Volunteered and I ain't going to stop Morons who haven't learned they're lesson"

"So allowing them to do whatever and get themselves killed is going to teach them, so much for looking out for our own"

"They were not my first choice and we don't have enough time to go and put a full scale attack right now"

"That Clank of yours gave them the tools to get the job done, and if they get back alive then that's a win for the Mox"

"And if they kick the bucket"

"Then were 3 girls down and I have to prepare for a Tyger Claw Attack regardless" Spoke Susie in a matter of fact tone.

"And I get to hold another grudge against Maelstrom" spoke Susie just to add on.

As always he was the problem living in her head, rent free.

Now he had more reason to feel guilty.

As he watched Rita storm out from the main room to lobby as she told Wanda to Watch the front door for her.

So she went out the front door as a crowd had already formed.

But Rita didn't give a half of a ham sandwich about her job or what Susie told her.

All that was on her mind was trying to save those girls asses as she got on her bike and headed straight to Megabuilding H8 in the heart of Tyger Claw controlled area, Japantown.

And from there Rich was able to fill in the rest as he speed up the memory and was able to see the Hell the girls raised but that they were eventually defeated due to numbers.

Seeing them on the brink of death pushed Rita over the edge as she pushed her Cybernetics to they're fullest extent.

Which turned her Cyberpsycho.

The accumulated physical damage from the Tyger Claws, the emotional damage from seeing people she cared about get hurt so badly, and now the mental strain from the Cybernetics breaking her down mentally and physically.

Rita will make a recovery he was sure about that, but the real scars were not physical but Cerebral.

And this was something he wasn't sure he could fix, he was stumped in this regard.

He jacked himself out of her Neuroport.

And was introduced to Dum Dum holding a gun to his head with a look that could kill to match.

"Your as good as dead, you know that right"

As Rich looked toward the one girl that was awake and that could talk.

"That's alot of tech to just be giving away to enemy Gangs, Rich"

As Dum Dumb pulled the Trigger.

To Be Continued.
