Lita was not without damage from the bumpy car ride, the tail of her pretty gown had been caught in the hatch of the trunk, tearing and spattering with mud. Jarvis dumped her unceremoniously at the foot of his owner's desk, dislocating her hip joint from its rotor, as well as one of her wrists. Her light weight and flexibility didn't come without disadvantages, it was why she was going into the lab for constant maintenance and upgrades. The intricate coif had come out by now, her wide eyes still blank, the lights behind her optical sensor dulled. Jarvis leaned down to turn the idol unit back on, pushing the almost hidden button on the back of her next. The optical sensors began to whir, her internal systems staring back up.
Lita blinked a few times and tried to sit up, finding that she couldn't due to the dislocated hip. She popped her wrist back into place as Minnie and Fina entered, the ring leader scolding them both. Lita attempted to pop her hip back into the joint, but found it was difficult to do so on her own. She couldn't sensors her lower half, no doubt a wire having disconnected somewhere within. Frustration welled up within her, she had been so close to escaping, she had even had her rival's assistance, but in the end, she had been taken again. Next time Lita had the chance she would make sure to escape properly. That is, if this woman didn't decide to shut her down completely and chop her up for parts. Each android was valued at over a million credits, so how could this woman afford two? Had she spent her life savings? Sold human parts? Sold her daughter's medication? Or maybe something even worse?
The Household Unit was watching her, his blue eyes cool and uncaring. Why didn't these androids see the problem in what their master was doing? Had she deleted their directional programming? Or maybe they were older units that hadn't been given the development programs to blossom into their own? Lady Reiss dismissed her daughter, sending Minnie from the room. It was three androids and one human now, surely they could easily defeat her, but Lita had the feeling that these two could not be swayed. She attempted to sit up once more, but the most Lita could do with her hip joint disconnected was prop herself up on her elbows. "Don't be Minnie," Lita smiled. "You should try to stay out of this, for your sake, okay?" Lita watched her go, the door shutting behind the white haired idol.
Lita stared the snake right in the eyes as she replied. "Gracious?" She inquired, touching a finger to her cheek cutely. "I'm sorry, my mannerism programming doesn't consider kidnapping and holding hostage to be gracious." Sure, blame it on the programmers. She sighed and shook her head, "I'm afraid empty threats like that won't work. You see, Jace's programming learns. She knows that attack now, it won't work again. If I remember correctly, using all of those elements drained poor, fragile, Fina's battery to near death." Lita smiled charmingly, despite her prone position, "Your threats hold meaning to me, you see, I was programmed to never feel fear."
