(No One's POV)
"I mean...Obviously, I love him. He's my dad."
"Hmmm.." a man's voice spoke up as Marie looked over in the direction of the voice.
"What do you mean? Hmm?" She asked before turning her head back to just look forward.
"Just say what you wanna say. Don't hmm. Makes it feel like I'm with a therapist."
"Well, it's just, when you add obviously, it feels a little less obvious. So, I'll ask again, how do you really feel about your father? It's like it's a little more complicated than you feel like admitting, which is cool. Very understandable."
"I love my dad." She reiterates.
She then sighed. "But, he's gone.." she said.
"That's an understatement." The man said.
"How so?"
"He's not just gone. He's fucking dead. That's the most gone you can get."
"Has anyone ever told you, you're very sensitive and empathetic?" Marie asked before looking back up to the ceiling.
"Listen, if I didn't love him, we wouldn't be here, right? Why would I be trying to find the man who killed him if I didn't love him? Why would I be doing any of this?" She asked before pausing.
Something wet was dripping from her nose. She wasn't aware that she was crying- but it didn't feel like her nose was running.
She pressed her fingers gently to her face and pulled back.
"Damn..it's blood."
"Oh, that's probably from me kicking your face." The man said casually.
"Yeah, thanks for that." She said before finally sitting up.
"Look, here's what's gonna happen: I'm going to hang you off this balcony, and you're going to tell me where Shroud is. Or I'm going to let you fall to your death." Marie said.
Honestly, she wasn't sure she could kill someone, but she could severely maim them. They'd survive. Probably.
"Come on, I thought we were having a breakthrough!" He says to her, and she sighed, they kind of were.
"Yeah... We kind of did, but you are still one of the bad guys here, even if you are pretty easy to talk to." She tells him and starts to move him outside. "But what I need to know right now is the location of, Shroud."
"I am not going to tell you shit! Mecha Bitch! I thought you were some big manly ass man, but you are just some bitch! I hope that Shroud kills you like he killed your da-" The goon cuts himself off as he realizes he was outside. "Why are we outside? It smells like outside smells!"
Marie sighed, see she was Mecha Man on paper, but her dad wanted a son, so she had been raised to be the next Mecha Man. At some point, she could not hide her breasts, so she was rarely seen outside of the suit her father made for her. Only a few people knew Marie was Mecha Man. Also, she was Genderfluid and really liked being called Mecha Man when she was masc, although she mostly leaned to Femme.
"Shut up, I have neighbors," Marie tells him and lifts him so that he can be ready.
"HOLY SHIT! WAIT WAIT!" He cried out.
