HEROES & VILLAINS STARTERS

❝ Yeah, I do. Lost yourself, ❞ Feet planted even as the heel in a boot wavers. Broken during a steep chase down a hill from whatever mechanical creatures had been birthed by the other meta — partnering with Spencer; who looked wild and untethered. There was something deep in there — now embedded in the back of Mariana’s head — an image that can’t be looked away from. A frightening freedom in the chaos caused. 

❝ That’s what you did ... Y’know, there were people in my corner — even when I yelled. Pulled away. Even when we hurt each other. They made all the dark things ... fall away, ❞ Mariana’s fingers curl over the terminal’s touchpad as she speaks. Her eyes take in the bubbled walls of the particle accelerator’s chamber. The temporary makeshift prison. Hopefully temporary.

❝ — maybe you were alone, but ... you had me ... Totally tooting my own horn here, ❞ Stands tall against the welling of her eyes because she can’t see it ... what makes Spencer — well, Spencer. Doesn’t know who this  imprisoned metahuman is, but she promises, ❝ Do it again and you’ll make it my business to stop you. ❞
