Welcome to Gaia! ::

Like a cat, Terra's large, luminous eyes caught the light, before narrowing upon the target.
"Cosette," she murmured, tensing herself. Super encounters rarely went well. But with Terra, most of her Super fights didn't ever go well. Fights in general didn't.

It was why she had never stepped in while Sverianna was trying to kill Richard. One specialized in the art of killing was bad enough. Make that one specialized in killing and a Jin'Ha, and Terra didn't find her chances good. Super or no, her mind still thought along human lines. Well, for the most part.

She liked humans. They were weaker and easier to toy with. Cosette, though... Terra knew she could be put in her place and keep her there with that first generation girl.

Terra turned her head and sneered to the darkness. Her pupils were large, giving her the unnerving look of a cat, though she was no Cule.

"Thinking..." she said, giving a twitch. Her tall, lanky form pushed off of the wall to stand in the middle of the alley. Cosette wouldn't let her go until she knew what she wanted to know. It was enough of a threat.

"Standing. Thinking. No answering, no knowing, though."
And with a nervous petting motion, she toyed with her hair on the side of her head.

"Oh, yes!" she replied, her eyes lighting up like a child's at the very thought. "An entire house full of people who are so... so... miserable."
Terra laughed and did a strange little dance right there at her glee.

"Just watching. Nothing more, nothing more. Just watching..."
But that part was a lie. Remembering the events made her shiver with the love of it all. Going through the glass dome, pinning Lorey, breaking her wrists, making her scream...
Had it not been for the actual shiver that rattled her bones, perhaps Terra's lie would have been accepted.
And as soon as she let it pass, Terra's eyes shot up just in case Cosette's reaction was immediate.

The hiss that escaped her hardly seemed human.
"My business, not yours!" she cried, though eventually the unfamiliar pain to her super body made her whimper.
"Lorelee Burnheart!" It was a name said in a pitiful squeak. "Lorey, they call her... With a man named Richard, and another, Damian. He hurt her... the b*****d threw her away!"

It was amazing how pain and a tinge of fear could set all the loose ends and frays to Terra's mind together once more, causing her sentences to be almost normal. Even her thoughts organized themselves like soldiers to their lines.

"So I made him crumple! Crimple crumple, just like his father... and there was Raquel. But I don't care about her, she doesn't look like her. She doesn't look like the one who betrayed me, so I just watch Lorey. Lorey, Lorelee, whoever, I watch her!"

Terra's pupils grew to such a pinprick from fear that they almost seemed completely lost in orbs of gold.
"I watched him die..." she said carefully. "The ones in the house, I didn't kill them, no I didn't!"
Her feet scrambled, scraped desperately against the wall as her superior forced every word out with pain. How she wished it would stop! It wasn't right, not for her!

"Last question, last question is dangerous! I was a scientist, she was a scientist, we were equals, partners! And then our love facade went awry and she turned me over to become something I was not born into! Lorey looks like her, with her pristine white hair and beautiful blue eyes and fair skin all over!"

Terra thought of Lorey's mother, the one she had killed all those years ago. She didn't have the eyes, but she had the white hair and the right skin. It was enough to make her want to kill her, just for reminding Terra of her lover. And she did kill her, and then she found Lorey.

And at that, Terra's eyes flashed like the feral thing she was.
"Sverianna," she spat. "Jin'Ha assassin, after Richard. Don't know why, don't care. But only I can hurt them, only me, and I already have!"
The organization, or what was there to begin with, slipped away as the pieces of her mind skittered with her cackling laughter. It changed to bubbly giggles, and then stopped.
She'd said too much.

"No one." A small voice, like a child, operated now. "I was just... messing with her... I killed her mother, I mess with her. It works, it's fun!"
The last part was offered as if Cosette should try it herself, though Terra had the inkling she wouldn't.
"You... you get everyone around her to die, but she keeps holding on... then you hurt her, and it still doesn't work, she doesn't take her own life or anything! You should see, you should... should try..."

Terra slinked back into the safety of the darkness in the hopes Cosette would leave her alone.

There was no 'yes' or 'no' answer. The pinpoints in her eyes said enough as she waited for the incredible pain or for the sweet release from her superior.

"She left anyhow..." Terra murmured. "Into... the sky."
And still her gold eyes stared up at Cosette as if she was her own boss or mother. The fear of displeasing her rose up, making Terra paralyzed in the alley.
