[Man, that is a BIG Deviobot. You're clearly in a boss battle sort of scenario, and--well, I don't know if you can handle it. Maybe you're pretty high on the power scale. But whether you strictly need help or not, Black Dragon is on the scene as well, and she's got a reputation for her... rough and tumble methods.

As in before you have a chance to engage the bot, a black and red blur ~~that is totally not Shadow the Hedgehog~~ slams into it in the air, smashing and cutting a teenager-sized hole through it. She lands, hard and in a cloud of debris, near you.]

Showed that jerk, didn't I? Crashin' around the city like it thought it owned the place!

[4]

[So, somebody's splayed on a couch in the break room. You're not STRICTLY supposed to sleep here. She's also talking to herself, apparently. Bolded dialogue is in no way audible.]

Ryuko, you've only spent seven of the past 48 hours asleep. Your vitals are suffering.

Quiet, I'm tryin' to sleep now.

I know. But you would sleep more restfully in bed. We should return home.

Not listening!

[Wow, she's being kind of rude, you didn't even say much.]

[ Sherri doesn't know what a 'break' is. Is that when you stop researching because you have collapsed from hunger and fatigue? When he goes home at the end of the day he just does more science in a different location. As far as he's concerned the couches in the break room exist as alternate surfaces on which to read scientific papers, while maybe eating things. Why would you go in there if you didn't want to pretend to socialize?

He cocks his head at the tired-looking human girl, his face naturally devoid of expression and his large, black eyes revealing nothing. ]

This is not an ideal location for sleeping.

Someone might come in and ... [ He pauses, and his eyes get slightly squinty ] ... breathe on you.

[She slowly rolls over to glare some daggers at him. Man, those eyes are bloodshot. If she were less tired she might react to his appearance.]

If somebody breathes on me, I'll make 'em stop. In general.

[ He slowly pulls a small vial full of purple liquid and a syringe from his labcoat and begins filling the latter from the former. ]

Rude, and cruel.

[ Withdrawing the syringe, he gives it a flick and presses until there is a drop of liquid on the point of the needle. ]

... I may have to tranquilize.

[UGH if she actually has to get up in order to protest that she'll be so mad.]

You don't bother me, I won't bother you. It's not complicated.

Y-you were the one who was talking.

[ Oh god what if she actually gets up that would be so scary. ALL HE WANTED TO DO WAS SIT IN THE BREAK ROOM. AND RESPIRATE. ]

Yeah, and it was a private conversation. Don't ask.

This is why I suggested going home, Ryuko.

Later, okay? Jeez!

[ The thing about supers in general is that if they weren't demonstrably real in their powers they would be demonstrably insane in their brainmeats. Being very firmly situated in a boat of similar make, it's not like he's going to judge her for talking to someone whose voice clearly can't be heard from anywhere but her own head.

But she said, "Don't ask."

So now of course there are a million questions. Who is she talking to? Ghosts? Psychics? OTHER ALIENS? Her clothes? Do they want to be ironed? Science must know! ]

But... [ He stares at her. ] ... I can't just not ask now.

[Okay, it can't cut into her sleep THAT much. She did kind of start it, anyway. She's tired and cranky, but that's no reason to go around starting pointless fights. She jabs a tired thumb at her shirt.]

This is Senketsu. He's bonded to me, so only I can hear him. Ever heard of Life Fibers?

[ Honestly, he hadn't been expecting her to actually answer - they had both been completely obnoxious throughout this entire interaction, and it had seemed as though the best possible ending to it would be one where neither of them had resorted to violence. In other words, this was better than the best possible case. Later, Sherrinford would probably reason out that there was a 63% chance that Ryuko had a high discrepancy between her outward and inward personalities and thus was significantly less predictable than the average human. (There would also be room for a 30% chance that Sherrinford was simply too charming and adorable to stay mad at.)

He taps the syringe lightly against his chin, apparently forgetting that it's a syringe and not a pen. ]

I have not. However, if you told me to guess what they were based on current information, I would suppose that they are fibers that are somehow alive and experience a telepathic connection with the mind of any sentient being that comes into direct physical contact with them.

[ He tilts his head to one side quizzically. ]

Is that even close?

And to think giant death robots are usually known for their courteousness.

[Dr. Nefarious' butler robot has stepped into the scene, casually clearing away Deviobot debris with a broom and dustpan. Beyond stealing enemy secrets and design schematics, it's really not in anyone's way.]

Carry on, don't mind me. Just sweeping up and all that.

What, is your boss getting desperate? I wouldn't call this thing the competition's greatest success story.

[There's something to be said for capturing him for... interrogation or something, probably, but she's used to letting her enemies' harmless(?) underlings off easy. They're still wrapping up with Devious, anyway.]

The doctor calls it recycling. Old design ideas that didn't work are recycled into new designs that don't work.

[Even Lawrence doesn't think that highly of the villains out there, and he regularly works with them.]

Oh. Speaking of failures... I think they're here for you.

[And suddenly, several mid-sized Deviobots pop up, shooting barrages of lasers at Ryuko. Lawrence is going about his job because, well, that's what he's paid to do.]

[Ryuko throws her arms up in front of her exposed face, letting her outfit deflect the beams.]

Ngh! You're not on their side, why aren't they shooting at you?

[Don't answer that, or at least not right off. She's not gonna hear you while she charges the stragglers and loudly hacks them to pieces, anyway.]

[ Somehow, despite not being a hero, Ruby's convinced her sister, Yang, to let her into the group's super secret base. Ruby is so excited she's practically vibrating in place.

And that only ups when she notices the girl sleeping in the break room. WOW!

In a fairly loud stage whisper- ] Yang...! Yang! I think that might be the Black Dragon!

[ After a few moments of no answer, she says, in a normal voice ~~not that her stage whisper was very quiet~~ ] ...Yang?

Yang, did you ditch me?

[ Yup. Poor Ruby Rose. Ditched by her own sister. ]

[Ryuko gives a tired groan. She's not gonna be mean to a fan, even if she still thinks it's just kind of embarrassing to have any. On the other hand, she belatedly realizes that if this girl's not a member, and Senketsu's not Synchronized right now, her hair being slightly different could COMPLETELY RUIN HER SECRET IDENTITY. She ~~furtively~~ very obviously hides her face with a pillow cushion.]

...Uh, you're with Yang, huh? Just a family visit, or are you thinking about joining?

[ It's kind of funny, because if Ryuko attends the local high school, and this is her civilian identity, it's totes possible Ruby'll recognize her if giving her anything more than a cursory glance. Best hide that face well! ]

Oh! Uhhh... yeah. She's kiiind of my sister. I'm going to be a hero one day, too!

...My name's Ruby, by the way. Ruby Rose. [ ...Man, this sure is awkward when the Black Dragon has her face in a pillow. ]

[Worse, given Ruby's social standing, she's probably had a bully or two Ryuko has taken it upon herself to beat up, so it'd be an easy enough connection to make.

Hopefully if she does figure it out it won't cause problems. But hey, she comes from a super family, that means she's trustworthy, right? ...Coming from the daughter of a supervillain...]

Uh, nice to meetcha! I'm... well, you know, Black Dragon. Big sisters, though, right? Haha...

[ "Big sisters, though"...? Wait! Wait no, Ruby knows what this means! ] Does that mean the White Dragon really is your sister!? I mean, I read that on a blog, but you know how reliable those are. Wow! That's awesome!

[ ...Well, Ruby's kind of dumb. She hasn't put it together yet.

STILL THOUGH. Fangirling. That she does remarkably well. ]

[From on high, standing on a rooftop's edge there is another armored young woman, this one encased completely in it from head to toe. Still, it bears a striking resemblance to Black Dragon's. The giant eyes on her shoulders, and all.

Her name just so happens to also be White Dragon. What a coincidence! Also, where'd those lights behind her come from? If that doesn't announce her presence, slamming her sheathed sword into the stone roof makes an awfully loud sound for some reason.]

If you had showed it, it wouldn't still be standing.

[Which it is. BIG Deviobot, right?]

[UGH. Having this argument is totally more important than paying attention to the ongoing battle. The enemies were programmed by Dr. Devious, after all, they understand talking-during-a-fight courtesy. She shouts straight up at the rooftop.]

I don't have to take that from somebody who'd rather be a backseat driver than shut up and help! I know the job's not done!

[It's looking kind of woozy, though, for a robot, you've gotta give her that.]

There's a great difference between taking a backseat and waiting for the most opportune moment to strike! Unless you'd rather spend your time boasting to a lifeless machine.

[Woozy, yes! But... still moving, and is now advancing on them. It may have had courtesy, but there's also two seemingly distracted superheroes right in its sights. Clearly, that's as good an opportunity to strike as its ever going to get, right?]

As well--!

[As it takes aim with one arm, without even looking at it, White Dragon's katana suddenly comes out of its sheath. A flick of her wrist later, and there's a blade of energy surging straight into - and through - said arm.]

[... Okay, he was definitely not expecting that. Then again, he (probably) kind of needed the help anyway, so Black Dragon's getting a thumbs-up.

Sure, normally Apollo worked alone, but he wasn't going to turn down help in this scenario.]

That's not the last one, though.
