Doc is seen examining Adrianna Stormcrow, checking the head scans first, followed by neck and torso X-ray scans and then her pupil reflexes. Doc: Well, the most recent skull fractures from last match are healing, and so are the minor neck and internal injuries but the concussion effects must still be bothering you. Is this what you consider ?taking it easy??! Are you really out of your damn mind?! And let`s not even mention the fact you plan to go out fighting again this week! Adrianna: So, if you don`t want to mention it, why did you start the topic with the obvious intention to mention it? Doc: I hoped I will be able to hammer some sense into you! Why are you so insistent on doing this? Adrianna: I told you already Doc, more than once. If you don`t listen to what I say, why are you so surprised I also don`t listen to your advices? As Doc is struggling for some dignified response, Adrianna speaks again. Adrianna: Look Doc, I know you are just doing your job. You do it well. But you must understand I am also doing my job, and I am also trying to do it well. So, let`s stop this useless bickering, and just agree we will let each of us do our jobs. I go out and beat the crap out of baddies, you patch me up later. OK? Doc: mrgmhfrtet... Adrianna: Sorry, what was that? Doc: Fine! If you really want to end up crippled or dead I guess I can`t stop you! All I can do is keep you going in one piece as long as my skill permits me. Adrianna ( grins ): Ata boy. Still grumbling, Doc leaves the room. As he does, a shadow in the corner separates itself from the others. DS: Sorry for eavesdropping, but the ... Adrianna: Doc is right, you know. Darkstalker rises an eyebrow, and Adrianna gives him a mirthless smile. Adrianna: Did you think you have the monopoly on finishing other people`s sentences for them? DS: No, but I didn't think you'd finally admit so openly. Adrianna sighs, leans back, closes her eyes and the usual confident facade vanishes from her face, to be replaced with deep fatigue and lingering pain. She seems vulnerable for the first time. Adrianna: Doc is definitely right. My head feels like a heavy artillery is pounding in there, and my vision gets a bit blurry here and there... I really should not be doing this the way I am doing this. Sometimes ... Sometimes I wonder if I can really shoulder this responsibility, or keep myself from falling apart. I wonder if I can really fill in the hole Ragnar`s death left... DS: So it finally dawned on you that you're no Ragnar no matter how hard you try to be and realized that you're just acting like some wild animal intent on keeping his treat at any cost? Adrianna: Why? Did you really think of me as relentless, self-delusional adrenaline junkie? You really should have known me better. DS: I do, which is why I maintained that you've been acting strangely lately. Adrianna: I got scared in my last match, Loki. DS: Again, a normal reaction. Lay it all on me, tell me every details. You need this. Adrianna: Fighting Revan when his personal goal is to really destroy you is a terrifying thing. Even without the Force, that bastard is vicious...skilled ... fast and strong. Extremely so. There were several moments in that fight last show when I think I blacked out for a second or two. More than once, I was this close ( she lifts her hand, thumb and index finger half a centimeter away ) to just give up. And after he crashed me on that table for the second time... I don`t even know how I got up. I can only hope he was at the end of his ropes as well, because I surely was. DS: He was, trust me, he was. You don't have to keep going at it you know. Why continue when you're only hurting yourself physicaly and emotionaly? Adrianna: Because I must. When I said I will not run away, nor let some depraved bastard ruin what Ragnar died to protect, I was serious. Dead serious. And not Revan, not this new asshole who bombed the ring, not Carnal`s mysterious boss will break my resolve. No matter the pain, never show weakness. Never show them you are hurt. Never admit you are bleeding. Nobody can see me vulnerable. If they do, no matter who, Revan or even just the people in the audience, we will lose. So, no matter what, I will stand. And rely on certain people to give me a hand when I stumble. DS: I`m not sure if chosing me was wise, but in a pinch, if I'm not here, you can talk to Darmeus. I do. Once again, Adrianna takes a deep breath, and as she opens her eyes, her face and body posture change. The traces of fatigue and weakness are gone, and nothing but steel and fire is seen in her gaze. Adrianna: Thanks for listening. I trust you will keep this for yourself. Everyone else can only see Ice Rain. DS: No amount of torture will get the words out of me. What do you intend to do about CG? Adrianna: For now, CG will have to wait. He is definitely crossing the line, but I can`t deal with him as well. I am already close to splitting along the seams, and if I spread myself too thin, I will really fall apart. Let Yoda and Fisto deal with him. Besides, currently he is causing more harm to Revan than anybody else. Of course, that does not mean you should ignore the opportunity to check up on his plans and operations. If the opportunity to do so arises, of course. And Darks, find me that bomber. I will take the detonator he used and shove it so far up his ass a squad of proctologists will struggle to take it out! DS: If I find him, you'll have to retrieve that detonator from his throat, but consider it done. |
