|| Diamond in the Rough|| The Nearly Deads ||
At the secret meeting with Minnie Reiss for exterminating Lady Reiss, well, while Io did not remember how much Minnie as a human despised her mother, the new Io had been perfectly able to determine that relationship strain between mother and daughter. Minnie wanted them to fight against Lady Reiss, to take her out of the picture and end her presence in Port Viridi Island once and for all. What would that mean for the Flock children, who would take care of them once it was all over? Io wasn't going to be convinced of the evil until after the received proof of it, that's for sure. Lady Reiss went through all the trouble to save them, wasn't it being ungrateful not to thank her for the effort?
Jace refused to let Callisto get involved and Cali too seemed not to want to be a part of it. Perhaps that was for the best, Yue did not want Callisto to be in danger. She was an Idol Unit, not meant for combat by any means. "There's no one else but you three." Minnie was distressed, almost to the point of tears had she still been human. It seemed she wasn't going to fight Jace on the decision to keep Callisto out. "Well, the three of us are strong. If Reiss really is evil, we should be able to do it." Jace was very strong, Io was pretty sneaky, and Minnie had plenty of defensive abilities, wasn't it the perfect trio? "I won't be there." Minnie admitted, looking down at her hands. "Jarvis and I are both owned by Mother... she'll probably order us to fight for her and protect her." So they were going to have to get through Jarvis and Minnie, wouldn't they?
Io felt considerably less certain about this if it was just going to be her and Jace going at it. Now she definitely wanted Callisto, at least as a moral support. "You can bring anyone else you trust." The angel of mercy said softly, wringing her hands. "As long as they don't reveal the plan before it's too late." Io remained quiet, the only one else she would want here was Firis, who everyone else hated. Maybe Jace knew someone that could help. "I know neither of you really care about what happens to the Flock children." Minnie sighed, still looking down, clearly referring to Jace and Callisto here. "But please, if you help I'll make sure you're rewarded, somehow. I'll owe you whatever you want."
After the meeting, Io felt very lonely that night. She was going to let Jace and Cali have their privacy, the couple deserved it after all. Minnie wasn't here, and there was no one else who might join her. Dane claimed to be her friend but Io knew he was asleep right now as well. With a sigh the stealth android curled up in her bed, cable connecting her to the charging port. "I miss you, Firis." She murmured quietly, not liking how silent it was in her room. She tapped her head, feeling it was too empty in here, there wasn't enough noise. For the first time she was truly alone and it was deafening.
