Her eyes sit at ease, the calmness of her features betrayed by the smile that sat on her lips, a wide and toothy grin as devilish as the woman herself.

Lulu’s pain was loud and clear; Marie reveling in it being just as, if not more, satisfying as what Gavin had presented previously.

When it was all said and done, Marie could not help but let out a small chuckle, her arms folded across her chest as she calmly observed the woman struggling to catch herself on the platform before them, not even bothering to turn to Declan as he spoke; deeming his words inconsequential to her own observations.

The words “good boy” come to mind at Gavin’s obedience, Marie finding solace in his compliance. As for Lulu, her abrasiveness was comforting, the single word she spoke seeping of malice and discontent; it was unconventionally attractive. Marie could not be happier with the results of her little experiment, the start of something bigger than them bringing excitement to the woman internally.

“I know how hard this all must have been on you two. But I hope you’re both proud of the outcome. Go home, and get some rest; I’ll be in contact with you both in the future.”

The Xatu returns to her side, lifting her into the air alongside the Orbeetle, the three of them floating towards the machine- Marie personally escorting the Floette from its chamber and allowing it to rest along her collar.

“Oh, one more thing.” She speaks up, head half turning towards them as her body faces the machine. “Don’t let your newfound power get to your head. You’re still only human after all.”

As Lulu stepped onto the platform, Marie looks to the machine, eyeing the Floette silently before moving her attention to the woman before the small audience.

“Ready?”

Marie asks Lulu with the same soft smile that stayed stagnant on her lips.

Allowing Lulu to get her bearings was the least she could offer as an appeasement to subsequent offenses.

At least one would think this based on her patients before she gave the call for the beam to be cast upon Lulu, the Orbeetle proving another Mirror Coat as before.

There were no screams, but Gavin’s internal anguish was more than enough to satisfy her inner sadist.

His silent howl, the tensing of muscles, an unexpected addition which even she hadn’t expected, and the icing on the cake, Cillian Quinn’s triumphant smile. To see something she had built up, fired at yet remain standing was a feat she reveled in; the satiated smile a testament to this truth.

“Then carry yourself out of the way.”

There was no pity for the man to be heard in her tone, Marie seeing this as yet another feat he would have to manage himself. If he could not move himself he would give him the same treatment as Lulu, save bringing the giant fucking shadow whale along for obvious reasons.

“Your turn.”

Marie says half turning her head to Lulu, waiting for her to take Gavin’s place as she allowed the Floette a breather before the machine fired a second shot.

She could only hope Lulu’s reaction is as fulfilling as Gavin’s.

The force of Emma’s elbow meets Marie’s face and in that moment her mind goes blank, her eyes go dull and the impact dazes her for a second or two until her senses regain.

“Lost your temper?”

Marie says woozily as she snorts up blood, and spits it into Emma’s face, aiming for her eyes.

“Guess that’s two losses under your belt then.”

Her reversal is sloppy due to Emma’s unexpected elbow, but Marie is just able to get the elder woman off of her and come to a stand unsteadily.

“I forfeit.” She says to the onlookers, nose bloody and broken as she looks back to Emma.

With a scoff under her breath, Marie turns her back on the woman, straightening her nose and releasing a Chansey away from the crowd; the pokemon tending to her wounds with impromptu healing.

“I just wanted to compare the before and after~”

Marie says with a devilish smile in an equally devilish tone; a snap of her fingers setting into motion a series of events.

First came the unveiling of the machine, it’s metal face humming in unison with its kin that stirred in the background.

Next was Xatu, quickly blinking back and forth, engulfing Lulu and Darkrai within its wingspan as it teleported the two of them next to Marie herself.

And finally, a magic coat provided by the Orbeetle to shield their eyes from the piercing light that was about to engulf the dimly lit room.

Soon after Marie gives the go, a quiet “Wicked.” escapes her lips, the beam firing off towards Gavin.

“Because you aren’t a challenge.”

Is the only solace she offers to an answer, her grip loosening to feign sympathy for the struggling Emma; allowing her to take control with her fancy wrestling-describing moves.

“sloppy” Marie thinks with a smirk, her head resting against some miscellaneous part of Emma.

“I don’t think you’re really trying either.” She scoffs. “I can tap out if your heart isn’t into this.”

Marie’s plan was to allow the woman to win and reap the rewards of being the loser. Maybe shake hands after, fake a smile and give a “good game” to keep up the facade of sportsmanship- but she could not help but allow her emotions to get the better of her.

‘she’s slipping. she’s not taking this seriously. does she even want to win? am i really going to throw against this? this sucks. i want to get this over with.”

Eventually Marie’s mind slips, body taking over as she flips Emma with a ground reversal, pushing the woman to the ground she once laid upon.

“You’re pretty bad at this.” She whispers under her breath before putting Emma into an armlock.

Her silence was to be expected, no one was here to make friends. Each and every one of them had their reasons for being among the ranks of rocket, whether they were selfish or otherwise.

So when Emma lunged, Marie observed, her mask slipping- a look of befuddlement at the completely novie tackle Emma had been going for.

This expression could only be seen for a split second before Marie turned doe-eyed, frozen in place like a deer caught in headlights, Emma’s body colliding with hers- the two falling to the ground as Marie calls out in a pained voice.

“Uncle! I give! You can get off me now, please!”

Her cries rang out as her hand tapped the ground underneath.

God this was bothersome.

She’s all smiles, the mask she wears overshadowing her true face. In truth, Marie was over analyzing, intaking information, most unneeded, but still information nonetheless, whatever she could get on whoever she could see was good enough for her. She needed advantages to makeup for what strengths she lacked.

When it came time for her to duel, Marie’s expression stayed stagnant, eyeing Emma with that same soft smile, giving a wave over to her.

“Howdy, you’re Emma right? Nice to meet you, I’m Marie, go easy on me okay?”

From all angles Marie could be seen as petite, lacking any real muscle, and by all means non threatening. She was easy prey to any predator that set their sights on her.

Her eyes veer upwards at the Lugia, eyeing it as she listens to Cillian Quinn speak, her gaze moving down as she catches a glimpse of the bruise on his abdomen. She lifts his shirt slightly, taking a look at and observing the area of impact.

“Interesting.” She muses before releasing her grip and allowing the fabric to fall.

For him to walk off a blow from Lugia was something to marvel at. And on another note, was the pokemon holding back? If it wanted it it could absolutely decimate someone like Gavin without even putting too much force into its actions. Was the process of brainwashing that effective? Was Gavin’s hold over it that powerful? Or was there a bond between them that she just could not fathom?

In any case, it was impressive the constraint the Lugia held to not blow this man to pieces as well as Gavin's own ability to be able take the brunt of an attack from the beast.

Her eyes move to Lulu Flint and Darkrai soon after observing Gavin, shaking her head as to dissuade and ill thoughts of the woman's own actions.

“I’ve heard about your exploits and can’t say they matter in the long term. But the more you know about Darkrai and its abilities the better. I hope you can get better acquainted with each other.”

The two of them haven’t had as much time with each other as Gavin and Lugia so any more than the bare minimum between the two of them would be a surprise to Marie.

“One last thing. Give me a roar.

She pauses, taking a few steps back away from the platform, fingers snapping twice as a few scientists move the treatment chairs away.

“I don’t want you half assing it either. I want the most guttural roar you can come up with. Let it all out and hold nothing back.”

Her lips curl into a deeper smile as she eyes the two of them, releasing a Xatu and Orbeetle to each side of her.

“I implore you to do so.” She speaks to Gavin with a sickeningly sweet tone, eyes remaining on her tablet.

The utterance from Lulu is the only thing that snaps her attention away from the screen, Marie’s lips taut in a smile.

“I hope you are, but before we start, let’s go through a few steps.”

Marie strides towards the two, sliding the tablet underarm as she undoes the equipment one anchored onto the two of them.

“While I’m usually one that is quick to say if you aim to do something then do it, some things take a little more tact. First and foremost, I’d like the two of you to release your pokemon, Gavin: your Lugia, and Lulu: your Darkrai. Adding onto this, bring me up to date on any times you have called upon their resources during the time after our most recent meeting.”

Once she finishes, she allows the two of them to stretch their legs if need be.

FERNANDO SILPH and Lulu Flint like this

The light thrum that continuously sounded from the machines that littered every corner of the lab was a calming background to the chaos that had taken place within its confines. Test after test, theory after theory, sacrifice after sacrifice, they would all amount to this moment here, the moment in which history would be made.

Marie looked through her notes, proofreading over every single bit of them before looking up to the participants of her experiment.

At the moment, Marie had the siblings: Lulu Flint and Cillian Quinn set into treatment chairs, their vitals shown on a screen to each of their respective lefts.

“How are you two doing?”

She speaks in an upbeat and excited tone, her face just as bright to match the mood she had decided to bring to the table. Despite the sleepless nights, the cramps in her hands, and the hunger pains that had been all but abated, Marie kept her facade as to lessen the stress such a situation could bring about.

“Did you enjoy your training? Must’a been tough on you two, I know because I put it all together.”

She chuckles, swiping at her tablet’s face, eyes scanning the screen as she took a breath.

“But…. In the end it’ll all be worth it.”

There is a slight connotation in the midst of her words that would make one second guess her, Marie’s smile stifling in a slight tell of her exhaustion.

“Do you two have any worries that you’d like to get off your chest before we move on any further? Questions maybe? Any words you been holding back to spit at me until now? Tell me whatever’s on your mind.”

There was not a moment her eyes left the screen, Marie fully absorbed on the tablet as she spoke. Her eyes only moved when another had entered, the current boss of Hoenn’s rocket branch: Declan; and even then, they only wandered for a moment, quickly settling back on the tablet.

“Welcome.” She says in an offhand tone, moving towards the two subjects and giving them a look over.

“Do you know how to ride a bike?” Grasping her straw between index and thumb, Marie idly stirs the mixture within her glass, looking down at it for a moment before her attention returns to Fay. “That’s not something you need, but it’s a skill that comes in handy from time to time.”

Her lips sit at an incline of indifference, soon moving to the straw and sipping from the beverage.

“Eventually, it’ll come natural to you, but the first step is going through with it. When I feel the time is right I’ll find a suitable partner for you and you’ll have your time in the light.”

She checks her wrist, the face of a thin watch showing the time- her eyes quickling flicking from it to Fay.

“Eventually.”

She repeats matter of factly, coming to a stand. “But as it stands, you’re on your own. Do what you think is best for rocket for the time being and if you’re having second guesses, give me a call.”

She slips the girl a number before she holds up a burner phone. “It’s a line directly to me. If i don’t answer leave a message by text or voice, I’ll get back to you when I have the chance to.”

Slipping the phone away, she waves to the bartender in a friendly manner- a wave given back by the man behind the bar.

“I expect to see more of me in you soon, Fay.” A calm smile rest on her features as she releases a Xatu, the pokemon’s talons clicking on the floor as it neared it trainer- eye flashing a light purple as it and Marie vanished without a trace.

“Is that an actual hobby or just something you thought up on the spot?”

Curled lips reveal her smile, Marie rolling her head over onto a propped up hand, stirring her drink with the other.

“Killed anyone yet?”

Her question flows off the tongue just as easily as the previous one, a semi-disinterested look on her features as she sips from the glass.
