[indent]The trip back to her hideout hadn't taken Nancy long. Swinging from rooftop to rooftop, it had been a breeze, and Nancy soon slinked back into the shadows of Paragon City.

Her hideout hadn't been much to look at, nor had it been a pretty sight. The unfinished complex, an expensive planned expansion in the Financial District, had been since long abandoned and left to rot over the years. Red tape and building codes had forced the builder to back out, citing "creative differences" between them and officials. 

In doing so, they left behind a half-finished lot, wherein forgotten building material was left behind to gather dust and cobwebs. Nary a local bothered to tread the site, preferring to avoid the potential dangers that might've lurked within. But not Nancy. The emptiness and quiet made for a perfect hideout. There, she could plan her assault on the Delgatos, far away from any prying eyes.

There had been some days where she missed having an actual home, however. But the life of the alleged dead was not meant to be one of comfort—Nancy couldn't possibly return home, not in this state. She felt her mother had been better off believing that she had died that night, rather than see the monster that she had become. And that wasn't counting the fact that she was running around Paragon City with Veridian tech. There was no way that someone hadn't been looking for Zero-Zero, Nancy figured.

[color=C40234]"Zero-Zero,"[/color] Nancy spoke. A sharp hiss was followed by the back of the cockpit opening. [color=c40234]"Run a diagnostic scan."[/color] 

[color=C40234][b]PROCESSING.[/b][/color] The exosuit replied as Nancy climbed out. [color=c40234][b]MINOR DAMAGE REPORTED TO RIGHT ARM SERVO.[/b][/color]

Nancy sighed as she grabbed a remote to turn on a nearby television to the news channel. The impact she took into the wall must've battered the suit's internals. Of course, the exosuit had armor to prevent such a thing happening. But against someone strong enough to toss a mechanical giant like Zero-Zero? Damage was bound to happen, were Nancy not careful.

[color=c40234]"Next time, I'll make her pay for the replacement with the money she stole."[/color]

Reaching for her tools, Nancy wrapped the tool belt around her waist and climbed up a ladder, ready to tinker away at Zero-Zero. It wasn't a difficult fix, but it would take some time.[/indent]
