It had been a few months on now in her life from when it was last told, and it had drifted into a fruitful event of tears, fears and torture. Robin....she wasn't going away, and neither was her curse of a power. It was getting frequent, out of control. Pressure was building on her, and on Ruth.
This was why she was here in this bar inside LA, a glass of water in her hand, keep her head clear. All down to her new adventure ordered by Ruth. During the renewal of her contract there was a new verse. I had to either fix my powers, or control it....All of it. More importantly, control over Robin....Control of myself. Her business was steadily declining and in turn so was Roberta's career. Infact it was dead....And this was her only opportunity to re-deem herself. For no-one who was anyone in this career wanted her. Only Ruth used her using low-key projects, photographers, people who didn't know her.
Ruth told her to come here, to this bar, an.....associate...or something, i was to meet something here. It was all comfusing to Roberta, all this. Like a dummy she came here cause she was told to, all that was fixed was getting her job back.
She was sat in the corner of the bar, privacy was essential. She choose to wear a low hip, tight, navy blue jeans with stylish rips with a pair of black Patent Pointed Toe. Lastly done with a black cotton upper dress that tightly clung around her, all ripples moving to the middle between her breasts where it folded round a wooden circle making the dress seem classical and as she moved the long, dangling sleeves swept.
Taking a sip from her glass she flashed a look around the room, looking for anyone out of ordinary. But it was all normal...perhaps waiting was still needed.

Another day, another city the only difference being that for once her feet were on the ground and not floating above on the Helicarrier. There was business to attend to, a new recruit, one who'd come to her attention thanks to the media circus. It had been an easy task persuading her old boss to arrange this meeting and void the contract she held with her, but of course she wouldn't have had a choice if Sage had really pulled out all the stops. She entered the bar looking for her target and it wasn't hard to spot her, dressed casually yet with an air of elegance about her. It almost made Sage smile to think of how her life was going to change, there wouldn't be time for her to spend fussing over her appearance anymore.
Approaching the woman she spoke in a clear curt tone "Roberta, I would say it was a pleasure to meet you but then i'd be lying, tell me how much did Ruth tell you about who was meeting you here today?" she asked staring coldly at the woman sat in front of her.

The moment that this girl spoke Roberta's nose flared up almost to snarl. Her defensive and barriers where risen instantly. By the time Sage had finished talking Roberta was prepared to stand up call her a T**t and leave instantly. But....she couldn't. Instead she may as well read her....and her appalling taste for clothing.
It was clear by her curves that she had been the type that had been in battle. She had the muscle for it, she also looked like one of them snobish riches who spend time on them boxed computers day in and out.
She didn't even rise just bowed her head, her eyes targeted Sage. "The feelings mutual." She returned to the cold deep tone. "I haven't been informed of who...or what you are..."....but then Ruth could not of prepared her in anyway for this B***h. She finished the conversation in her head.
It did occur to her to wonder how on earth Ruth would meet someone like her....or why for that matter.

Noting the womans cold tone and brushing it aside Sage spoke plainly "I am Sage, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D and your new boss, you will no longer be in the public eye as a model, in fact you will no longer be a model at all, instead you will face rigorous training, early starts and dangerous missions, most of which given your history i would be surprised if you managed to survive" She looked the woman over once more before placing her hands on her hips and tapping her foot.
"Rise and follow me, i will warn you now that failure to comply is not an option for if need be i will drag you out by that head of pretty blonde hair" her lips curled upwards in a small half sneer as she turned on her heel and began to walk towards the exit of the bar.

As Sage spoke, a larva of anger was boiling at the point of eruption. Trying to block this woman out she travelled her eyes to the left of her at the locals, her eyes scanned onto a few boys sitting at the table. Within a second she felt that familiar wooosh as her mind left her body and weeved through time appearing just in front of the bar. her mind's illusion of herself gained her feet and rose to the bar she was currently situated in. She could hear Sage behind her talking to the future verion of her about the final chance before she takes action and makes Roberta come. Everyone was laughing or getting on with their jobs, barmaids picking up glasses and staff serving drinkings and food, people entering and leaving.
A loud smash and the environment changed into a chaos of screems. A car pierced through the window just where the guys where sitting that she was gazing at before, diving onto them it rolled onto the next table knocking a man and woman off their seats and onto the floor. Just as sudden the car stopped by friction. A glace showed it was a police car and the men inside where survearly injured. But more scaring was the body of the men they ran down, Bloodied and Deformed with bones in plain view for any to see...who was willing to look. Thoughs that were not dead or injured where screaming and running to help. A few moments later and her mind crept back into the cave of her head, linking back to her soul.
However her body was now crumpled to the floor in tears. It was going to happen soon this time. very soon, it was not usual for her to appear so close to the future...and so close to her. like her body her mentality was on the floor scavenging desperatley to gather strength before she pointed weakly and shakily to the window by the men and breathed out like agony.
"Danger! Car Crash!"
Subconsciusly another presence was awaking herself preparing to consume Roberta's body. Robin was sturing, coming alive and known again.

After a few paces Sage stopped and turned not hearing the woman get to her feet and begin to follow. She watched as the woman crumpled to the floor. Great this was just what she needed....Well there was only one thing for it. She re approached the woman seeing her in tears on the floor she grabbed her roughly by the shoulders hissing in her ear "Get up now" Yes the woman warned of a car crash but that was for the local police force to deal with, Sage would not have them entangled in such petty matters when she had greater issues to deal with. They would be out of here before the car struck and on their way to the Helicarrier where she would explain how things worked to Roberta.
She pulled the woman to her feet and gave her a hard shove towards the exit of the bar "Move it now" she growled in a low tone, she was lacking in patience today and she wasn't going to put up with being messed around and she sure as hell wasn't going to have S.H.I.E.L.D dragged into the media circus anymore than the organization had been after Angus' little screw up.

It didn't take long for Robin to seize control, or rather Roberta to lose consciousness. The crying instantly ceased as Robin took into life. The body stopped for a moment before continuing on forwards to the exist, just like the woman wanted. Only in the essence of Robin.
Into the Pretty ladies body she could now see the other lady that was upsetting her, and aware of the crash. Robin swiped her eyes and smiled. The Pretty lady was beautiful but did not always think to well. She letted to much stuff get to her. Poor lady. Roberta spoke back to Sage, her voice in the high pitched girly way.
"You shouldn't be mean to her. Thats just meanie." She smiled to herself as she left the door to gaze at the distant, the bright beam of light reflected from the car that held so many lives at stake. What the pretty lady didn't know was that Robin was use to this. Sometimes, there was a way of making it alllll go away...

Sage once again turned to face Roberta, this time though her eyes narrowing as she recognised the change in her demeanor and tone of voice. "You must be Robin, and for your information i do not care if it was mean at all, i am simply doing what is necessary, now move it!" she said almost snarling at the woman and she reached to grab her wrist and drag her to the exit. The woman had not even been introduced to the shrink yet to see whether she was mentally stable enough to be a part of the team but if this behaviour continued Sage would abandon her and deem her unfit without the appropriate psychiatric evaluations. S.H.I.E.L.D was not an organization that had time for its agents to go off on tangents like this, no what she needed was agents that were willing to follow her orders to an extent without questioning, not defy her at every stage, no she'd dealt with enough of those types lately and she would not have any more pollute the organization she was now in charge of.

The mean lady tried to grab her as Robin made a step back making herself to far to reach without proper movement. She paused for a moment, her mind was riddled and spaced out, almost out side of her mind and body structure. As though telepathic but not. She was controlling her emotion, her thoughts, even the forward traveling powers. As though searching for something. She pursed her lip and twisted her mouth as though trying to find words to say but at a loss. Finally a wide smile came to her as she nodded before stepping off the pavement. By this the car was several seconds away from the pub, from the accident. Robin bent over and pick up a stone. It was rounded and heavy but not so large. Instantly she aimed and skimmed it towards the charging car.
The following played like a pantomime or story. The glass of the front window of the car smashed from the impact of the stone. The driver panicked as he thrusted his foot onto the break while shielding his eyes. The car skimmed and took flight as air gathered underneath and tossed it into the air like flipping a pancake. It rolled passed Robin before rest clumsily onto the pub they just left. The was not broken, the glass did not shatter. The men inside did not dye. As for the man in the car, he was bloodied and broken. Lifeless the body was as it lay on the wheel, soaked by his own blood.
This was not natural to Robin. Not because she didn't know what to do or how to control it, but because most fondly pretty lady did not normally pass the bodies control over this quickly. She obviously was upset already. This mean lady was hurting her. Still, it also wasn't 'natural' for someone to die this close to her prediction status. So close in the weaving of time, and so near in sight. She turned and innocently looked at Sage.
"It was not time for them to die yet....But the man had to. It was up to him to die"
She stated soundly.

Watching the events unfold as the young woman pulled far enough out of her reach, so that in order to get to her she would have to move from the spot she now had herself rooted to. She almost wished that this one had slipped through their net and gone undetected, but here she was about to offer this woman a job on the best strike team there was yet the woman did not seem to comprehend the offer being placed to her instead choosing to resist and in her next actions cause Sage to completely withdraw the offer and start down a different path.
"What gives you the right to deem who should live and die?" She asked cautiously moving closer, her weapon now drawn and pointed at Robin/Roberta. Murder was what the woman had just performed in broad daylight and in front of one the worst people to, of course Sage herself had in the past made such decisions however never in a public place in full sight of the public and the benefits of killing one person for the greater good had always outweighed the negatives.
This Mercy killing as Robin/Roberta called it did not have any great benefits, yes there was none of the wounded the woman had foreseen, however the man she had just killed with the simple action of throwing a stone had been a law abiding citizen with a wife and young children at home. He didn't have even so much as a speeding ticket yet many of those who had been sitting in the bar were not entirely the most savory of characters, yes a few were innocent souls but the majority had been booked at some point for a crime.
As always Sage was prepared for a fight but there were a few things her opponent did not know about her, as far as she was aware Sage was just another human pointing a gun but that was not the case. In this particular instance she had already sent various electronic messages back to the Helicarrier, One to their new Psychiatric Counselor Trauma, two further messages to the heads of S.H.I.E.L.D Psychiatric department so they were aware of the person she was about to bring in and the fourth message she had sent out was to ensure a transport was on its way to pick her up from a standard location with her passenger.
Moving closer to the woman she reached out with her telepathy hoping that the woman would not have any mental barriers for her to break through in an attempt to subdue both side of the personality and render the body immobile for a period of time until such a time as Sage could administer a sedative. It was a technique that she had done on many occasions and it always had proven effective before so she was sure it would this time too.

It tickled, the way the meanie lady pushed her mind into Robin's. Robin wanted to laugh but she didn't want to get into trouble. She pushed her mind aside to allow this lady to enter and put the body to sleep. The pretty lady wouldn't mind, she was already asleep and it wouldn't hurt her body. Still The woman asked a question and it was rude not to answer, she didn't want to look rude. She gave a straight forward, simple look and replied in her high pitched voice casually
"Don't be silly, i'm not allowed to decide that. I'd get into trouble by him if i did." She paused looking awkward as if she had said to much. Her talking never changed, only her expressions. She quickly changed the subject.
"You won't kill me miss." She smiled while speaking casually.
"He was going to die miss." She tilted her head as though in curiosity before asking a question.
"Do you believe i did wrong?"
She didn't want to do wrong, but she wasn't wrong. She was never wrong. She was a princess after all, and the pretty lady was queen. Though like this Miss meanie here who did not understand her, The pretty lady didn't understand either, she wouldn't. She would only cry, soo unhappy.

"I don't just believe you did wrong, I know what you did was morally wrong" Sage replied never taking her eyes off the woman as she approached watching as the effects of her mental control took hold and the woman crumpled to the floor seemingly lifeless. Upon reaching her Sage holstered her gun once more and picked Roberta up slinging her over her shoulder much to the shock and horror of onlookers. Today was not a good day as this woman she now held over her shoulder had guaranteed SHIELD a place on the days news. Taking care she began to walk away from the scene as the sound of sirens approached. Now all she had to do was make it to the pick up point where hopefully trauma would be waiting with the appropriate restraints and sedatives.

Robin lay low in the pretty ladies mind, hiding from the meanie until they were out of reach from the many people rudely staring. The mean lady was fast and very strong...Maybe she wasn't a lady...Still when out of sight Robin pushed back against the mean ladies conscious in the pretty ladies mind, allowing Robin to speak.
"You and the pretty lady are wrong. Always wrong.....and i'm right" She ended smugly. She was going to keep this conversation going. Even if it meant her and the mean lady will end up kicking and screaming.
"You play with bad guys, all the time. Like cops and robbers. But you always believe that in the end you win no matter how the story ends....Cause if you didn't, i would be seeing your death....It's the same, the man had died no matter which path he took."
The height of the seriousness was still a game in Robins eyes. The pretty lady didn't understand, she would of been backing this meanie lady under the same rules of moral. The pretty lady will never understand....The mean lady may.

Trauma was in his office doing some late night work when the call came in. Well it looks like he was off to do something. The transport was waiting for him. he nodded as he climbed aboard. he was informed of what was going on. HE knew that shield's medical teams did not like him he gave them the creeps and that was fine by him. As the craft flew over he could feel the fear of the city and knew some of what had gone on by it.
The craft landed and the hatch opened he rushed out. the sight was strange the director had some one over her shoulder clearly the person. her fears washed over him like an ice cold shower. this would be interesting to say the least. he pushed them aside and walked up to sage as a team came rushing out with a bed to place the woman on.
he looked at the woman "so who Robin?" he looked at the sleeping woman he knew what sage had done and he was not sure if he aproved or not but the woman was faraid of many things nad this robin was one of them.
<<<Life link can you pm me your characters fears please??>>

"Robin seems to be an alter personality, but that is not for me to diagnose, That is your job Ward" Sage replied coldly dumping Roberta's body down on the gurney the team had brought out to greet her. "She did however just commit murder and as such needs to be properly assessed before she can be held accountable for her crime, Is there anything else you need to know?" she asked her eyes closing briefly behind her glasses as she reached out with her mind to disable the blocks she had put in place with her telepathy.
"She'll be awake again and fully functioning in moments so i suggest you get the sedatives ready remember she is a powered being" Sage added as she worked to remove all the blocks she had put into Roberta's mind. It would be interesting to see what diagnosis was placed on her desk after Ward and the other psychiatric doctors were done with the woman. She rubbed at her temple slightly before turning and walking onto the transport waiting for them to join her in the journey back to the Helicarrier.
