"You're lucky you sheathed that knife- otherwise I was going to take it" She stated simply- she had no idea of his full potential text on a paper did nothing. She moved around leaning against the Gargoyle and stared at him- she looked older, tired, stronger- the light in her eyes was gone, the spark of pure life and happiness. She paused, "Yes he died- yes I knew." She scanned him looking for her Adrian. "Someone still wants Cortez" She stated, "He just paid my half of my pay to take it to him" She stated simply watching him; she wasn't taking the head in and she wasn't taking the AI in- she would take something else in- something crappy that looked like his AI. "So you've changed into a super soldier."
She met his purple eyes and her face softened. "I couldn't find you to protect you" She stated, she'd tried and just couldn't find him. "She shook her head, "I would've said yes- even now" She admitted, "But you won't because you feel you've failed me." She knew him.
She looked up at the sky away from him tracing the gun. "It sends distress signals when you're in danger- that's all he's been doing since you disappeared and he's not registering properly- he needs fixing." Yes she'd personified her AI- it was her baby, the thing she trusted to protect him. She kept staring up at the sky. "I don't need you to protect me, I need you home- safe and home." She'd lost everything in her life and wasn't entirely sure she hadn't lost him.
