For the entire drive to the concert hall, Lita sat with a bag over her head so that her optical sensors couldn't pick up on the location she had been taken to. Her wrists were tied behind her as well to ensure that she didn't try to interfere or run away. Lita went into power save mode, her body responding to the darkness. She sat slumped in her seat until they arrived, the sudden jerk and cease of movement making her wake up, sitting upright at attention. When the bag and restraints were at last removed, Lita rose, rubbing her wrists. As she had predicted, her owners were there, frantically making phone calls. "I-I'm here!" Lita waved, pushing down on her neck to clear up her voice box. "Lita! Thank goodness! Where have you been!" Lita looked back at Minnie and Fina, who they no doubt were unable to see. "It's a bit complicated, but please, let's continue with the plans for the concert."
She had three hours of concert practice, quick costume changes, and in between, filming pieces for her interview which would go live after the show when they sold the holo drive for the audience to take home a memory of the first android idol concert. There were a lot of things riding on her shoulders, but Lita wasn't nervous, she wasn't programmed to have any sort of fears or anxiety for this exact reason. After the three hours of practice were over, there were two hours of charging and hair and makeup. She was assisted into her first outfit, a bodice so tight, that should Lita have lungs she would surely suffocate. Her plan to escape was simple, not that she would think it just in case the stealth unit had some sort of mind reading ability. Everywhere she went she could see them, lurking, watching, almost looking as though they were taking notes on her every move.
The concert was going to begin soon. Lita stood backstage, speaking to one of the managers quietly, wanting to know if they had recovered Jace and all of her pieces. "She's being put back together by Grover herself, I'm sure in no time your combat unit will be by your side again." Lita nodded in relief, wondering if Jace would be able to find her if she was taken again. "Thank you, I'm sorry about all of the trouble I've caused you." He placed a hand on her shoulder, his nails grasping her possessively. "It's no problem Lita, we paid a pretty penny for you, wouldn't want you slipping through our fingers again." Lita nodded with that same, charming smile as he strode away, turning towards the curtains. She closed her eyes and clasped her hands in what almost appeared to be prayer. Lita looked up, giving Fina and Minnie one last glance. "Watch closely, okay? This will be my greatest performance yet!" She smiled and strode onto the stage.
Bright lights blinded her for a moment, optics zooming in and out wildly in an attempt to find a happy medium. She bound energetically towards the center, able to keep her balance in the heels adorning her feet. "Welcome everyone! Thank you all so much for coming to my concert debut!" The stadium had sold out, it was standing room only, the applause was near deafening as Lita jumped right into her first song and dance. She bound across the stage, taking breaks only to do a quick outfit change or give her human backup dancers a second to take a drink and catch their breath. It was late into the night when Lita sang her last song, giving a wink and blowing the audience a kiss.
Smoke flared up, fireworks dazzling the arena. Lita sunk slowly beneath the stage through the hidden door and took off immediately. She pulled off her heels and crawled out from underneath, running towards the nearest exit. Hopefully Fina and Minnie were distracted long enough to give Lita a head start. Her blow flew off her head, intricate coif coming undone as she ran down the street to the nearest police station. "Please, help me!" Lita said, breaking out in artificial sweat because her unit was overheating slightly. "What's wrong? Wait a second, aren't you that idol bot?" Lita nodded, "I'm being chased, an android is killing all the others and I think she intends to kill me next!"
