Here it is! Shall I start us off? :)

ello! If you would like too!

(Perfect!)

Farah awoke with a pounding in her head. She knew she'd come here willingly – of that, she had no doubt. But her racing heart and migraine-like pain vibrating her skull made it difficult to remember what exactly had happened before she'd blacked out. What she knew now was that she was sitting in the middle of what appeared to be the main floor of an abandoned warehouse, and she was bound to a folding chair by her wrists and ankles. There was also a gag in her mouth that tasted horrid, so she kept her mouth shut. A sudden feeling tickled the side of her face, and she recognized the scent of blood. She was bleeding from her temple – and now the headache made sense. Okay, if I'm here, Mara can't be far behind me. She's the one I'm turning myself in to anyway. I have to protect the city.

Mara walked down the hallway taking her time the sound of her boots hitting the floor sounded aggressive but really she was just walking normal, they weren't completely alone in the warehouse she had a few people monitoring Farah to insure nothing happens. A moment or two later Mara emerged from a doorway "I do hope that you slept well~ my employees were a little rough with you which I apologize but I can do nothing for your wounds."

Farah stiffened, hearing her adversary's footsteps heading toward her. Her body and head didn't move, though. It was her eyes that tracked the sound's origin and Mara's movements as she stepped through the doorway and into the room.

Her narrowed gaze didn't fade in the slightest as her enemy appeared. Farah hated that she had to look up at Mara to speak to her, which automatically put the former woman in a submissive position and left her subject to her opponent's towering form. But Farah would take what she could get. At least she was still alive. Her eyes stayed locked on Mara's while she spoke, betraying nothing of Farah's own emotions other than her anger with being restrained as she was.

With the revolting gag still firmly in her mouth, Farah couldn't speak the venomous reply that was waiting on her tongue. She was only able to glare at Mara, which she did without hesitating.

Mara moved closer to the girl and squatted in front her with her hands clasped and she just looked at her with a smirk "temper, temper… Didn't your parents ever teach you to be nice to old friends?" She reached over and pulled the gag out of farah'd mouth so it was now around her neck her hand was away within seconds and now she was sitting on the floor with her legs crossed a big smile on her face "now we can have a decent conversation!"

Farah narrowed her eyes further in protest as Mara came closer. The proximity of the other woman was discomforting, especially as she smirked with such conviction. Like Farah was the one at fault here.

Farah held her breath as Mara untied her gag and pulled it from her mouth. Immediately, the hero gasped for fresh air and turned her head to spit on the floor, attempting to get the taste out of her mouth. It was disgusting. But with her gag removed, she began to speak.

"Let me make this clear; you and I are the furthest thing from old friends that there is. I came here on my own terms. I'm surrendering myself for the good of the city so your attacks will stop. One life for thousands. That is my offer. Please take it. You're terrorized these citizens long enough. It was your people who ambushed me and while I was only trying to talk." She let the venom she felt for her opponent drip from her lips, her British accent tinting her words to sound elegant in an odd, threatening way. "What the hell?”

(I completely forgot I made Mara Australian lmao)

Mara laughed tipping backwards a bit as she held her ankles "oh come on girl they ambushed you simply because I ordered them to they are very loyal minions they have nothing against you I have nothing against you honey but you got in the way and that is when we have a problem, you see my attacks aren't going to stop simply because you gave yourself up that's not how this is going to work you fucked up the minute you let them take you here, I'm actually disappointed in you. "

(Lol it's okay)

Her laughter only angered Farah more. The cocky bitch… The hero wanted to strike her and wipe the amused little smile off of her face. Mara had only ever brought hardship upon the city, and Farah was trying to rid the world of its worry. Taking the burdens of others on her shoulders was not a new task for Farah. One of the facets of her abilities was empathetic perception. Whether she wanted to or not, she took on the problems of those around her and cared for them as if they were her own.

"Your attacks must stop!" she protested sharply. "They are innocent people!" Rarely before had Farah shown so much visible anger. But she was desperate. "I got in your way because what you're doing is wrong! How are you disappointed in me, as you claim to be? You hardly know me. I, however, know all about you, Mara. I know of your beliefs and intentions, and none of them are good."

Suddenly, Farah gagged again from the disgusting taste left in her mouth and spat for a second time on the floor, this time closer to Mara's feet. A shudder passed through her. "Did you have to use such a vile piece of cloth?" she snapped, glaring again at the other woman.

Mara let the girl talk before her attitude shifted completely and her eyes hardened "I don't have to do a God damn thing you say, you people don't control me anymore and you never will again I swore as soon as I got the opportunity I'd pull you all through hell… That that's exactly what I plan to do," Mara was standing up when Farah spit near her boots she looked down apon the poor girl that was chained to the chair and moved closer to her before leaning on one of the arms of the chair with one arm and gripping the girls jaw with her other hand "I'm either going to kill you, or I'm going to break you either way nobody will come for you they'll just find another kid give them power and turn them lose," she paused before leaning closer to the girl and whispering in her ear "And I'll kill them too.

"I'm not trying to control you, I'm trying to save lives!" Farah cried out in exasperation. "Can't you see?"

Her eyes narrowed and followed Mara's path as she stood and came closer. The second the woman touched Farah's jaw, it was like her skin was lit on fire. Her eyebrows arched at Mara's words, though she shuddered for a brief moment as the villain whispered directly into her ear.

"You won't kill me," Farah hissed in reply. "I know you won't. Despite all the pain and torture that you've been through, I know that you won't do it. You can try to break me all you want, but let me tell you this. I will never yield an inch to a person whose motives in life are as sick and twisted as yours. I've faced worse than you, Mara. Your intimidations won't work."

Farah gritted her teeth together and tried to ignore the clenching feeling in her stomach from Mara gripping her jaw. "Now let go of me."

Mara scoffed and jerked her hand away from the girls jaw "your trying to save something that's been corrupted of years, you have no idea what you're government does to people like me, I wasn't born with these powers" she held up her hands which were instantly tingling with electricity, small purple sparks sizzling "your bosses gave them to me, said it was a gift. my transition failed and I almost died in the process I killed a woman, it was an accident I couldn't control what I did but do you think they cared? I'll spoil it for you they didn't they only experimented more until I was too unstable, they tried to terminate me like I wasn't a young girl in collage… I had options and they took that away from me and ruined my life, so now I'm returning the favor I'm taking away their prized possession. "

(No you're good! I've just been busy 😭)

Whatever heavy feeling that Farah had experienced while Mara was touching her faded as the woman jerked her hand away. She stiffened at the sight of Mara's magic, and she listened patiently as the villain spoke. Surprisingly, her expression softened at the story she heard.

"I'm sorry," Farah whispered softly. Her eyes studied the other woman, appraising her with sympathy. "Still it's no reason to bring down such destruction on–"

She suddenly stopped herself, Mara's words processing in her mind. "What are you talking about? Their most prized possession?" Farah's jaw dropped at the realization. "You can't possibly mean me!"

(Okay that's fine I was just worried 😅
I'll get a reply up soon)

Mara didn't hear the girls apologie, it wouldn't have made any difference, she was too angry. She snapped her gaze to Farah when she started to speak a few pieces of hair sticking up followed with the cackling sound of electricity, the sound calmed down when the girls question shocked her "yes I mean you don't tell me you so clueless you can't see their clearly using you think about it all the crime in this fucking city but they only send you after me *

Farah's eyes widened as Mara clarified that the subject of their conversation was, in fact, her. She'd never thought of herself as a 'prized possession' before… though her eyes quickly narrowed again at the villain's words while she continued.

"Mind your words. No one is using me. I've been sent after you because you're the most…" The woman trailed off for a moment, trying to find the right word to use. "Because you're the most disastrous threat. What is the crime of petty theft compared to the destruction of buildings and loss of lives? Local police forces can handle minuscule unlawful acts. You require a more equal combatant."

Mara circled the chair Farah was tied to and chuckled but there was no humor behind it "you are so fucking clueless, think Farah use your fucking head. Do you remember the news articles about me? 'Collage girl with super human abilities' you see my body was to be exact what you are right now, their little bitch 'superhero' that does what they can't do, and when I was obviously to much to handle that when you were brought in to cover up their mistake you were made this way to come after me that why you don't do anything else you don't help with everyday crimes your their puppet just like i was supposed to be, but I was smart I saw what they were doing and it wasn't for the better of the city it was so they could be rich,"

Farah's eyes were sharp as she tracked Mara's movements. It made her uneasy when the other woman passed out of her sight. "I'm not clueless," she snapped in reply, clenching her fingers into fists. "I'm not a 'little bitch superhero,' as you so aptly put it, and I'm not a puppet."

Though the more Mara spoke, the more her words seemed to resonate with Farah. The terrifying part of it was that she appeared to be right. Farah immediately shook her head to clear the thought from her mind.

"No," she retorted sharply. "Maybe I am covering their error, but I'm doing it so that lives can be spared. You're the mistake here, Mara. Not me." It was a low blow, especially for Farah, but the words were past her lips before she could take them back.
