"If I do this...." Maria whispered to the white haired girl, shivering a tad as she felt those soft hands now enfold her own. "I'll have Hell to pay in the end....but then again...I guess I was hellbound after all. Hold still." Focusing most of her energy towards a miniscule focal point upon the chains of the cuffs binding Leela, Maria was able to only target a portion of the steel, melting through it with a well focused surge of lightning. "It'll work for now." Silently and ever discreet she spoke to the girl, unbeknownst to Leela...there was a sort of smile forming underneath the other girl's respirator...and not a sinister smirk, a sneer or a psychotic grin....this for once was a more genuine smile. "We'll have to get my key for it later. You should start running now, girl. I'll catch up." Next....she did the unthinkable, turning towards Flint and sending in his direction a fatal shock of lightning before darting off in another direction, running as fast as her feet could carry her before vaulting herself skyward and taking to the roofs. [i]Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! What am I doing?![/i] Contradicting everything in that last move....contradicting everything she had once stood for....but ever so blind did she stand. [i]Just don't think about it Maria! Just fucking run![/i] She would be sure to catch up with Leela later....given that Marcus or Flint...or the others didn't slaughter her first...
