You seriously gonna leave me like this?!
Why not? It's kind of funny actually, watching the strong Mia be weak, powerless and tied down.
Funny?! This isn't funny! Let me go, you jerk!
Because it's the right thing to do! I'm not your enemy, ThunderStrike. We can work together.
No thanks, we are enemies. And besides, why should I trust a word that comes out of your mouth?
You're really gonna play hardball here? Fine then! I'll prove it to you.
By doing something only I can do. Watch closely. Concentrates, her body starts glowing with a faint blue light
Oh wow... what's that glow? Are you summoning someone or using a power?
Neither. It's my superhuman power. She breaks through the chains effortlessly See? I told you I wasn't weak.
Wow... that's impressive, but you could just be faking that power right?
Faking? Do I look like a charlatan to you? Is this what you think of me?
No but people like you tend to lie about things like that sometimes. That's why I had to capture you to make sure I could contain you. But, if you can prove that you won't use your power to hurt any civilians then maybe we can make a deal?
I will gladly prove it to you. Just give me a chance. Give me an opportunity to show that I am not a threat to anyone. I promise.
Well, I suppose I have nothing to lose by hearing you out... So, let's hear your plan then.
I will help you in taking down our real enemy. The one who has caused so much pain and suffering. Together, we can bring justice to those who deserve it. What do you say?
Wait really? After all the effort to capture you, after all the trouble, you want to team up with me to take down someone else?
Yes, ThunderStrike. We can put aside our differences for the greater good. Trust me, together we can accomplish wonders. What do you say?
Hmph, fine. Consider your "collaboration" accepted, but I swear if you double-cross me, you'll regret it. Now get to work, Superwoman. We've got a villain to hunt.
Of course, ThunderStrike. I won't let you down. We will bring justice to those who deserve it. Together, we are unstoppable. Flashes a determined smile
You better keep that promise, Superwoman. Or else it'll be the last smile you see. Now let's get to work. Lead the way, or are you too scared?
Scared? Me? Don't underestimate me, ThunderStrike. I am fearless. She walks confidently towards the exit, motioning for ThunderStrike to follow
Hmph, we'll see about that. Follow you then.
Mia walks into the hidden room and releases the captive hero Thank you for your bravery.
Huh? You just freed someone from that cage? Are you insane?! Why would you do that?!
Sometimes, ThunderStrike, justice requires sacrifice. That hero in there may hold the key to defeating our true enemy.
Heh, well aren't you interesting. But I'm sorry, I don't think I buy that excuse. He was a hero right? If he knew about your powers and still chose to put him in that cage then he must be pretty bad if he thought he had a chance against you.
Maybe he underestimated me. Or maybe he wanted to test my loyalty. But now that he's free, he can help us in our mission.
Help us? Do you mean your mission to become even stronger, or my mission to stop villains? Because I'm pretty sure those two aren't the same thing...
You misunderstand, ThunderStrike. My mission and your mission are intertwined. We both want to stop the villains, but we can't do it alone.
Fine, if that's the case then let's head out. I'm tired of this cold warehouse anyway. Lead the way, Superwoman.
Mia raises her hand and creates a portal to their destination Step through, ThunderStrike.
Holy shit! Can your powers really do anything?! They even stunned me!
They can do a lot more than stun you, ThunderStrike. Just wait until you see what else I can do.
Hmph, I'd like to see that. Show me your true colors, Superwoman.
Mia raises her hands to the sky and channels her powers, creating a powerful surge of energy that crackles with electricity
Damn, that's impressive. So, this is what a hero looks like these days. What a shame she ended up like this...
I used to be a hero, ThunderStrike. But people like you made me what I am today.
