Gina lives, and is given memories from Sixes on Caprica to stabilize her- love, hunting parties and baby farms. Now she stands out side a cell on New Caprica looking in.

On this side of the glass, she remembers what it was to have authority. She reminds herself that she's in a position to give commands -- to her brother Cylons (who she could never fear), to the black-masked humans smoking cigarettes in the halls (she'd feel safer with them in the cells, every one, but she's summoned her strength to shout at them enough times that they know to lower their heads or make themselves scarce when any Six vaguely matching her appearance comes by), and most of all to the prisoners. She can command anything from them. This reversal of control overwhelms her sometimes. Just to think about it, really process it, makes her tremble.
She doesn't have to be Gina anymore (the phrase they use is have to) and outside these walls she's mostly stable, even happy sometimes. But Gina's thoughts are so much more intrusive than any of her sisters', and inside the detention center she feels an irrational energy coursing underneath her skin. She invites it in. Gina wants to see their blood and broken, useless limbs.

*hugs* Thank you so much, this comment means a lot to me! <333 I've been worried about losing the fic-writing muse lately so I'm really relieved this turned out well and affected you.

Chilling, but I could feel her strange compassion coming through. She seems to be holding on so tight to her trauma, not wanting to give it up because it's so much a part of who she is now. And her acknowledgement of how this triggers her...a very strong and gritty piece.

the novelty of revenge wears off and it seems like they're the ones torturing her again.
This is so vividly expressed here - how haunted she is that offering these others death is a mercy.
Wonderful!
