Kai stepped back as he laughed at her. She was trapped, literally, between two forces that weren’t about to let her go, and in a room that had only one exit.

“I’m going to make sure X and Zero know where you are. They’ll come to rescue you, because they’re idiots and feel some desire to protect a worthless creation like you. And when they do come, I’ll kill them.”

His tone was flat and matter-of-fact. 

“Enjoy your time knowing that you’re going to be the cause of their deaths.”

“They’ve got more important things to worry about!”

Besides, she had more faith in her dads than that. They wouldn’t die to some nutjob Maverick who looked like X. If her normal trackers weren’t functional right now, the one in her in her spinal area certainly was as she could detect.

Then she blinked at a faint noise that wasn’t the growling monster behind her, and she looked around. There it was again! And getting closer apparently.

“Huh?”

She really hoped that wasn’t one of her dads because she swore they genuinely had more important things to do right now.
