No One's POV
Carmen had finished putting her clothes and armor on.
She noticed Tigress was looking at her.
"What?" She asked.
"Why'd you change your look?" Asked Tigress.
"I wasn't going to give up the chance to get a new style." Said Carmen. "New life, new style, same enemies."
Everyone else was getting their gear on.
Chase Devineaux was driving the RV.
"What about you old crew?" Asked Me Chévre.
"Well, La Chévre," Said Carmen, much to Le Chévre's annoyance. "I knew that ACME and V.I.LE. would go after anyone who ever came into contact with me. It was for their own safety."
"And how do you feel about capturing Crackle?" Asked El Topo.
Carmen looked at the ground saddened, before equipped her Red Skull Helmet.
"I just hope we can find a way to give him back his sanity." Said Carmen.
"You spoke to him, didn't you?" Asked Paper Star, worryingly.
"When I went into hiding." Said Carmen. "I was going to visit him. Then....I saw the Agents arrest him."
Tigress, El Topo, Le Chévre, and Paper Star gasped.
"I shouldn't have run away." Said Carmen. "It's partially my fault."
There was a moment of silence for their friend Crackle and his sanity.
Tigress looked up and had enough.
"Take it off." Demanded Tigress.
Carmen looked at her.
"Excuse me?" Carmen asked.
"TAKE IT OFF!" Yelled Tigress.
Everyone looked at Tigress like she went insane.
"We had to mourne for your death for years." Said Tigress. "I thought the last time I would ever see your face, would be when I accidentally killed you. Why do you think I attacked La Femme Rouge? I thought she was a cheap version of you. But she is you. But I don't want to see La Femme Rouge. I want to see you!"
"I wore this Helmet for a long time." Said Carmen. "They plastered my face on posters to cash in on my legacy. So this is the face I'm showing the world."
"You think you're superior to us?" Asked Tigress. "You're just another prisoner. You're only viewed as an expendable. We're teammates. And teammates see each other's faces."
Defeated, Carmen sighed and unequipped her Helmet.
"Now keep it like that for a while." Said Tigress.
"It'll be back on soon." Said Carmen, turning to sit down and turned on the TV.
"This is going to be a slow ride." Said El Topo to Le Chévre.
