--Previous Message-- : Yes...this one did not like women at all. : Her own smile turned nasty. "You are : not the first woman this scum has tried to : hurt, Zeo. He would not have been so brazen : if you were. There are many instances he : has to pay for. And I think the best way : to repay his debt to society is that he : protect the very one he tried to hurt. I : shall make him mine and he will do as I : tell him to. He will protect and guard you, : Zeo, from just such threats as himself. : That is the perfect method for him to : repay his transgressions." Bubbles : looked at the startled Zeo. : "Restitution is just, is it : not?" : Then she looked back at the very still Tommy. : "What say you Tommy. I agree that he : does not deserve to live, but is this not : just?" She waited for his reply.
Zeo just stared at Bubbles. Sure, she'd done her own share of brainwashing and reprogramming in the Wars!, but it was all for fun, and the guys had gotten their memories back intact (she thought; she'd left the Wars! before Janitor/Tuxedo Dionysis had been restored, but she knew she'd left the Zip disk of memories there. Oh, and Jason...but he'd been a Nameless Otaku, so she'd done him a favor... Okay, so only one...but wait, he didn't _really_ get his memories back...he'd just broken through the reprogramming and turned into his Author...).
Zeo sighed, realizing she wasn't as innocent as she wanted to believe. But to make this creep her personal bodyguard...
"Bubbles, what if it doesn't work?" She met Bubbles' gaze. "What if something happens, when he's supposed to be guarding me, and your hold breaks? These weapons aren't flawless. I don't want him anywhere near me if there's a chance of your hold over him breaking. I'd hate to find out what would happen."
