--Previous Message-- : --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." : :
It was pretty clear to Cole and the others that Zeo's attackers would have to pay, and the mentalist could see the valid points in the arguments for and against letting them live but he presented Zeo with another alternative. "Zeo, if you want to really make them pay then why don't you use this." With that Cole unties the small pouch attatched to his belt and presents it to her. "You can use my Mind Gem to make them feel a world of pain telepathically without really killing them. Hopefully that would serve as a harsh reminder to them should they even dare to think of assualting another woman. Or if you want, you could use it to telekinetically break every bone in their body. Personally, wasn't willing to go that far when the fight first started, but that's just me." Opening the pouch a little more the blue glow of the Mind Gem eminated from within as Cole waited to see what Zeo would decide to do.
