[1] Well, that happened. And I didn't even die a little bit that time.

[Jen carefully looks into her cup of tea.]

Still...I was hoping it'd take them longer to improve on Nemain's speed ability. Or start churning out the WMDs...


...I have to move faster.

Hellooooooo Unity Group! It is I, the world's greatest neurochemist-slash-metal goddess, DOOMSTAR~!

[Oh, and Doomstar's defected too. That happened.]

So? What shall we do first? A party, maybe! I'll make the drugs and music if you guys provide the food and booze!
[She is very quickly put in handcuffs.]


Eh?! Whyyyyyyy~?!

Dido opens her mouth, then closes it.

"Yeah, I'm not doing this song and dance with you," she says. "You've made people's capital L Lives miserable, so drop the preteen razor girl act and take your lumps like a grown-up. Then maybe you can star with the whole redemption racket."

Dido consults her clipboard. "SO," she says. "Do you have any dietary requirements we should keep in mind?"

[Jen clears her throat loudly.]

...Dido, can I talk to you for a second?

[actuallyselfish]

"Yah?" Dido says, walking over to Jen. "...is something the matter?"

[Jen takes Dido aside for a moment.]

Okay, so...I know being tough on villains sounds cool and all, but Doomstar's just an idiot. An idiot who voluntarily decided to join up with our side.

Play nice, okay?

"Are you sure she's an idiot?" Dido says intently. "Idiots don't become masters of pharmaceutical biochemistry. Even if she's switched sides for real, she could still be playing dumb to hide an agenda."

She meets Jen's eyes. "Do you trust–really trust her– to be a team player?"
