The studio where the Legionnaires are being held is swarming with supervillains. It's a trap, of course. But that doesn't mean they have to walk right into it. They have a plan, and now it's time to put it into action.

The Legion of Supervillains are expecting the non-native Legionnaires to be pushovers. They're about to discover just how crushingly, devastatingly wrong they are.

He's the one in the deep end. She huffs a frustrated breath as he reaches for her again, this time tipping her head away as she leans back to get a little space. This wasn't the time or place for a reunion, as much as she wishes it could be...and it certainly isn't the reunion she had hoped for.

"So what, they deserve to die because they've screwed up a few times? No. I couldn't accept it in Freelancer and I won't accept it now."

She leans away from him and he huffs in mild annoyance, but relents; letting go and crossing his arms. He looks at her with a disappointed expression, knowing how strong and fierce she can be when she's found her truth, and yet finding himself at a loss that she doesn't seem to see it in him, in this particular moment.

"They deserve to die because they will keep screwing up, and they won't stop until everyone is dead. Their little no killing clause means they pull their punches, they half-assed it, they're not really behind what they're preaching."

"Come on, Connie ... you're smarter than all that."

"I don't buy that," she stares at him a moment more, hoping he could realize just how barbaric that whole philosophy was but he doesn't...and she doesn't have anymore time to lose.

A slow breath in is all it takes for her to bar up the horror and heartbreak of what Robert had become before her expression grows cold and closed. Looking away from him she reaches for her helmet as she turns to make her way back to the terminal she was working on before.

"I'm sorry Robert, but I'm not having this conversation."

If he tries to stop her, then she's out of here.
