She was used to her dad and Pepper making comments - even reporters who seemed to feel a need to sexualize her rather than focus on her work - but hearing it from Lance took her aback. She turned her head, watching Hammer prance around the stage like an idiot. Guin highly doubted that he wouldn't turn on his glorified battle bots. As she was still sitting down, she strapped the roller skates back on. They could be useful for a quick getaway - or dismantling the robots quickly - or fighting them. [color=#cc33ff]"There's no way Hammer doesn't turn them on,"[/color] Guin said bluntly, pulling out her phone. She hesitated over her father's contact. But then she felt foolish and she put her phone away. It was just Hammer tech, after all. It'd be a dud and likely fall over, only hurting Justin Hammer in the process - and she didn't see anything wrong with that. Sure, she figured Uncle Steve would give her some sort of lecture on morality and responsibility, along with the benefits of capitalism over different economic systems, but she didn't really care. She wouldn't lose any sleep over something terrible happening to Justin Hammer. [color=aba000]"Now, what would a presentation be without a little demonstration?"[/color] Hammer called out to the audience. He pulled out a small remote and activated his Archangels, causing the eyes to glow blue as they came to life. Guin watched on the monitors as the robots rose a few inches. [color=aba000]"Now, my Archangels are performing a scan to identify any hostile individuals in the area - shouldn't even find any here, unless someone's been dodging parking tickets?"[/color][hr][center][youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bP6aVG6L1w[/youtube][/center][hr] Guin held her breath, watching the eight robots on the screen. They all hesitated for a moment before they turned around to face back stage, holding up their arms in unison. [color=#cc33ff]"You know, it's kinda silly how we always build machines that mimic the human form...."[/color] Guin murmured, ready to bolt. One of the eight robots malfunctioned critically - it was Hammer tech - and burst into flames. All of the Archangels then fired on the backstage area, with five of them missing. The other two managed to hit the rigging that kept the curtains up, causing all of backstage to be exposed to the camera. [color=#cc33ff]"Hold on tight!"[/color] Guin told Lance, grabbing onto him and using her rocket skates to clear the area, narrowly missing further shots from the Archangels. [color=#cc33ff]"If I keep zipping around, can you fire on them and blast those sons of bitches to hell, Lando? Thinking they detected your X-gene or something..."[/color]
