V's POV

I floated into a dimly lit room. It had a table, 3 chairs and, thank god, a sink with a rusty mirror. I, however, was definitely not the first person to be put into this four-star apartment, as one of the chairs was already occupied with the same girl, who neutralized (or killed, can't tell) the other henchmen of that Malcolm-McDowell-looking asshole. As soon as the purple fucking magic left me and I dropped on the floor like a wet tissue she almost jumped from her chair with stars in her eyes.

The Girl: "YOURETHATGUYWITHCOOLARMBLADES!"

Slowly getting up and holding a hand to make her quiet for a few seconds I made my way for the sink and finally washed the dried blood off my hands, as well as splashed some water onto my face. I then turned around and examined the girl. About 16-17 years, still wearing the same 'Little Red Riding Hood' outfit and silver eyes. Funnily enough, despite taking care of about 3 people with relative ease, well, probably with relative ease, I wasn't really paying attention, she didn't have any cyberware. Speaking of which, nobody had actually had any cyberware so far. Not the police, not the Dominatrix lady, not the guy in white, not his henchmen. It seems that I'd indeed gone into the past, no matter how idiotic it sounds.

V: "Hello?" she was the only one in the room, might as well strike up a conversation.

The Girl: "HOWDIDYOUGETTHOSE? ISITYOURSEMBLANCE? HOW-"

The barrage of questions was interrupted, however, by the same door I'd floated through being opened. I instantly switched my attention to the newcomer. It was the Dominatrix lady. She instantly threw another glare in my direction.

'Dominatrix': "Take a sit please. Both of you." whoa there adder, stop with the venom.

Well, I didn't really have a choice. It seemed that she was in touch with the force and I wasn't a jedi, so if she wanted me to sit, I'd take a wild guess and say that upon refusing the kind offer Mace Domiwindu here would quiet literally rip me apart. I slowly walked to the chair and sat, putting my hands behind my head and my feet on the table for extra comfort. The girl also instantly sat back on the chair, however in much more formal position.

The Dominatrix took a deep breath and started the interrogation.

Dominatrix: "I hope you two realize that your actions tonight will not be taken lightly. You put yourself and others in great danger."

The Girl: "They started it!"

V: "I am allowed to take use of the legal counsel."

Dominatrix: "Excuse me, sir, you killed two people there!" the girl's attention switched at me, her eyes showing disappointment and a hint of sadness.

V: "Which was clearly done in self-defense-"

Dominatrix: "It doesn't change the fact that two people got brutally murdered-"

V: "Oh, but it does! I request legal assistance on the case and offer visual confirmation that my actions were taken only because of self-defense." I was meant to be a lawyer after all.

Dominatrix: "Enough!" oh no, she has the crop "If it were up to me, you..." 

She pointed at the girl with her weapon

Dominatrix: "...would be sent home... With a pat on the back..." the girl's eyes started showing a glimmer of hope "... and a slap on the wrist. While you, sir, would be handed over to the authorities. But... there is someone here who would like to meet you."

She moved out of the way, letting both of us noticed a second visitor. It was a man in green clothing with a mug of something hot and a plate of cookies, which clearly were here not for me.
