A Little Time to Myself...
Quorra slid easily into the driver’s seat of the light runner, trailing a fond hand along the interior before tearing out of the garage. She remembered with pleasure the cycle Flynn had revealed this masterpiece to her, having had built it specifically for her entertainment.
But at the moment she had other things on her mind. Skidding to a halt at the edge of a steep cliff face, Quorra vaulted easily out of the vehicle. Her boots crunched on the rocky surface as she stepped to the very edge of the cliff and sat down, legs dangling over empty space.
There was something about that Sam Flynn. She felt more affectionately towards him than anyone she had ever met, even more so than Zuse. He was different, not just because he was a User.
Her thoughts were interrupted by the familiar buzz of light discs. She scrambled to her feet quickly, pulling her own disc free as a dozen Black Guards descended on her. Quorra’s eye flickered up to the crevice in the rock where her home was hidden. Both of the Flynns would be there right now. A sudden determination to protect them with her life rose up inside her. She was badly outnumbered, but still she raised her disc in warning as the Guards closed her into a tight circle. Quorra never backed down from a fight, even one she couldn’t win.
“I’m taking you all down with me!” she roared furiously as the battle began.
Quorra had already resigned herself to deresolution. She only wished she could have given Sam a proper goodbye.
