There were few people in Team Rocket who intimidated Lulu. marie jules stepped up to show everyone how it was done. Aiming a giant laser at her brother, the woman had the gall to smile through his pain. Lulu felt mixed feelings, and, perhaps underneath the longing to hurl a fist into the side of the woman’s face, there was a strange inkling of attraction.

Her turn.

She eyed Marie and passed by the staggering Cillian Quinn , meeting his eyes sympathetically. At his words, however, her brow scrunched. What kind of shit pep talk was that? Nonetheless, she nodded and took a deep breath. Her eyes shut, and all the pain she already kept deep down rose to the surface like a spiny shield. With a slow hiss from her throat, its power pushed out of her chest.

She stepped into place, expecting to be hit the moment she did. Fuck it.

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.

AGAIN, THE MACHINE FIRES. The beam strikes Lulu Flint violently— and it is only seconds until she feels the effects of it. Her whole body goes into panic, and her veins flood with an overflow of INFINITY ENERGY that attempts to both merge with and escape from her.

From her mouth, a pool of SHADOW appears too; however, it is more reminiscent of the nightmarish shadows of Darkrai rather than Cillian Quinn's miasma-esque hue and texture. Briefly, Lulu Flint feels tired. As if she can finally sleep. The pain is both rejuvenating and horrible— but as the pool begins to fade, she feels her body replenish with the insomniatic curse of her patron.

Perhaps, such things can be harvested.

Walsh calls out to the rest as he stands, "your pain is worth every little bit of knowledge we can gleam. what i see is promising. continue your trials. no matter what the cost." With a flourish, he leaves with a couple of attendants.

Where Lulu Flint had shouted in outburst, Gavin is silent and unyielding as stone. He watches the laser strike her and he does not flinch, does not react but for a barely perceptible shift of his jaw. In his eyes of Quinn amber, there is pride.

Look at us, Saoirse. For but a moment, he feels untouchable.

It's a fickle thing, the mind. How easily a simple phrase can set back so many years of work to undo the chains that Kanto Rocket had bound him with.

'No matter what the cost.'

He should feel anger, perhaps — betrayal, after giving Rocket so much of himself. Yet there is nothing but calm acceptance as he inclines his head to Declan Walsh. This is a path he has walked before. This is an expectation he understands.

Orders are orders. Even if it kills you.

Rocket's dog has not forgotten his tricks. "Yes, sir."

Shadow Lugia curls its tail possessively around its avatar; red eyes trail the Rocket boss all the way out of the room. It will not kill you. I will not allow it.

The rush was enough to evoke an explosive scream to contrast her brother’s implosive silence. It pried from her chest as though it was her soul attempting to escape the searing chaos overwhelming every nerve. More than just this left her, though. It was like the essence of half of her being was somehow vomited up in a purge impossibly wedged between the physical and mental—and maybe even spiritual.

‘No… don’t leave me…’

She surprised herself at the thought as her muscles sank and she fell to her knees. She panted, making eye contact with no one after such an outburst. marie jules had gotten her ROAR after all. She felt weak for it.

Lulu felt Darkrai return, and with it came Walsh’s words. Their pain.

So, what about him? He was the same as her, presumably.

Who was Declan Walsh?

What had just happened to them? Why wasn’t he participating? Did he want them dead? Was Jules in on it?

She glared at the ground, willing herself to her feet with a stumble which only made her angrier.

“Sir.” For the briefest moment her eyes flashed to him alone, so if only not to disrespect him at his leave. She didn’t even dare look at Darkrai. Her head remained empty of its words.

In that moment, she felt alone.

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.”
