"How you feeling, Ruby?"
"You catch all that?"
"Ummmmmmmmm."
"You're a self sustaining half robot.
Most have been by manual, others by solar, but you...by water."
"I could've pulled my own water using my Seed."
"But you're still young. Doesn't hurt to get a little help, you know."
"Oh, I wouldn't go around teleporting anytime soon."
"Why? Metal can't bend like skin yet?"
"I'm afraid after all we've done throughout history...…..No. Unless burned upon."
"Whelp. No flying, no teleporting. No sustaining myself. No taking justice into my own hands or else I'll get caught.
What else is new?"
"You're still here aren't you?"
"Yes."
"Then the day, Ruby. The day. Every day is anew, so we can start fresh and…...."
"Renew."
"That means, now on you're going to have to one hundred percent trust First Responders to do their job."
"But they are always too late."
"Trust, Ruby."
"But what about the times they..."
"Trust."
"......Fine.
Can I still ride Dragons, or will the air pressure break me?"
"Uhhhh...…..We can't test that, so let's take it one day at a time.
Starting with...…"
"Standing."
"I can do that?"
"Can you move and twist your body, or are there too much..…"
"......Definetly will be a little getting used to.
Won't be able to shoot as fast as I can though."
"What do you mean? With this upgrade, you should be knocking people off their butts without them even blinking."
"I still gotta catch them first."
"Their will be no catching for you."
"Rosa."
"The only thing you'll be catching is your breath.
Heard from Elwin......…and your Mom, that you don't sleep that much."
"Saying?"
"Use this experience as your warning."
"I'm sorry, Rosa."
"Sorry for what?
You saved everyone."
"But I told you I would never take your front page...….and I think I just did."
"Your face won't be there."
"Not now, but every day since, all you'll see on Cameras is just metal blobs...….floating through space."
"Haaaahaaaaahaaa.
I told you, you know how to Null a Mood."
"You know how to fix one too. I still thank you for......Not getting me in trouble.
With the Driver...…..and...the Queen."
"Don't worry, I am not here for you."
"Oh no. Theos at home alone. You best not go behind my back and send..."
"I told you. Don't worry.
Call this a standstill while we both have a new player in the game to help."
"Shake on it?"
"If we call a truce until she gets better."
"Deal."
"Wooo…woooo…wooo. Guys, I'm not a Player. I'm sitting right here."
"You mean lying."
"The only one lying here is you."
"Wooo….Ruby, I think you should be….."
*Creaaaaaakkkkk*
"Nice."
"Uhoh."
"Doc, come quick."
"What is it? What is it? What is...."
"Yeah.
You wouldn't happen to have a new bed, would you? She kinda broke this one."
"I can see that."
"What did you do to her?"
"Doc, I am so so sorry. I just got nervous, clenched up and stood.
Have you heard what they're trying to do to me? They're trying to bench me.
Me….Ruby Eliotra. Benched?
I think not. Can you talk some sense into them, please? I cannot be benched. There's so much I still have to do. There's so much I have to see, and there are so many people I still have to..."
"Wooo…wooo. Nobody's getting benched, and no one is changing anything...besides that bed, but bed might be a good thing for you."
"Doc, I thought you just said nothing was changing."
"Ruby, turn your negative thoughts into positive. You gotta crawl through your new strength before you can run."
