DEDICATED TO SUSY - HAPPY 9 MONTHS - I LOVE YOU!

-(KISS CITY BAR)-

"So." Susy said, after a 1 and a half hour long explanation of an online competitive battle game, "That's why I love Man In Cloud Now On Four Legs."

Arabella just sat, cradling her face, staring at Susy with total adoration in her eyes.

"Do you love me?" she asked.

"Sure. So, who's your favourite?"

"Flying Squirrel Rat. It's so cute..." Arabella sighed dreamily. "I wish flying squirrels were real..."

Wordlessly, Susy shook her head. Arabella really had never left the city, and it was clear her mind rarely left her brain either.

But then... something was strange. Turning from the main counter, Susy's gaze fell upon a tall girl, with blonde hair down to the base of her spine and a black coat. The girl looked over at Susy, and smiled sweetly - before picking up an empty can, of which many laid before her, and eating it.

It wasn't even like she was doing it in small parts, or at least tried to crush it down first. She just held it lengthways like a hot dog, and crunched it down like an ice cube.

The deranged lunatic gave Susy another, sweeter smile, before scoffing down a couple more cans. Susy was frozen in disgust, shock, and a little bit of intrigue, gasping as the girl finished her cans and spat out a wad of blood, dusting herself off, and standing.

Her presence was... strangely powerful. Falling back when she stood, the clatter of her chair made the bar stand still. Gone was her sweet smile, replaced with a satisfied grin and empty glare as she stared straight ahead into space.

"What's her deal?" Arabella muttered, ducking behind her girlfriend.

Deep blue eyes snapped over to Susy. Something was wrong... very wrong.

Two steps forward, her hand in her pocket, the girl approached Susy and Arabella casually as she pulled a revolver and held it up loosely.

THWIP!

Shreds of aluminium ripped through the attacker's abdomen as Susy held a grey orb of light, pulling all metal towards her hand.

"An assassin?" Susy jeered, as the girl fell to the ground, bleeding. "You must've assumed that you'd be fine, because aluminium isn't usually magnetic. Well, whoever has you on their payroll clearly doesn't know anything about me, because my Unnatural Attraction can suck in all kinds of metals." She then eyed Arabella up suspiciously. "Or they'd just be a total idiot..."

Arabella frowned.

"Hey... and where exactly would I get the money for an assassin?"

"True..." Susy mumbled, annoyed. "Bet you can't even spell assassin..."

"Heyyy! ...it's a hard word..."

CRIIIIICK!

Susy gasped and turned back to her defeated opponent, who was now rising. But she did not rise in a human way - green holographic gears turned around her limbs, rolling her muscles and pulleying her to her feet. Around each of the holes in her stomach, gears rolled the skin back together, as if there was never a break at all.

The girl laughed as she lifted her head, an evil glare piercing through Susy's soul.

"My name... is Eve." she growled. "Or... as you may know me... xX_UrMomMyMommy_Xx!"

Susy staggered back, flabbergasted. Did... did this bitch just introduce herself with her gamertag!?

"5 seconds..." Eve continued. "5 seconds is all it takes for my Machine Learning to fix me right up! And I know you, you self-obsessed, shit-talking BITCH! You can't resist... you'd be occupied bragging and jeering for minutes if you had the time!"
