This is a post that will help me keep track of this idea that has been brewing in my head for a number of years but is only just now coming to life! Huzzah. It's a superhero graphic novel idea (as if you didn't know) and I do hope to pursue it for real one day.

She can feel it. Just like a new limb, the machines in the room send her quiet feedback. It's numb and subtle, but it's there, and she wants to exercise her new fingers ( ... )

"That's just because you have issues with men."
Sarah whipped her head around to glare at him, her blonde curls nearly hitting Alex in the face.
"You think every lesbian is afraid of men? Homophobic ass--"
"Not what I said," he replied quickly, holding out his hand defensively. "I said you have issues with men. It's not the same thing."
"Bullshit."
"He's right," Alex piped up. "Maybe not men, but you hate penis."
"Being into girls doesn't mean--"
"It's not about being into girls. It's about you and your daddy issues."
"Fuck you guys."
She got up and stormed out just as Zach walked in. He watched her go and the frowned at the two men sitting at the table.
"What now," he asked solemnly.
"We're talking about how Sarah hates penis," Alex said.
'Quake kicked him under the table.
"Ow - God, you can't say anything around here!"

"I started jiu jitsu when I was nine. I convinced my mom it was for self defense. Really I just had this need to use my body in a way that would push me. I mean really push me. I needed to feel pain and use it. Otherwise I just felt weak and useless."
Sarah watched Zach thoughtfully as he spoke, chin resting on crossed arms. "Have you ever contacted them?"
"Who?"
"You parents. Do they know what you do? Who you are?"
Zach shook his head. "They think I'm dead."

"I'm - ah, fuck."
"What's wrong?" Sarah asked, turning away from the mirror and tying her hair up.
"I need help."
Sarah left the bathroom and found Zach standing by the bed, struggling to reach the clips on the back of his binder.
"I got it," she said, carefully unhooking it from top to bottom. AS it came loose, she set it on the bed and lightly touched the bruise that had blossomed across Zach's shoulder and back.
"They really got you, huh."
"Yeah. Guess so."
"Maybe take a rain check on the next one."
Zach sighed, running a hand through his hair.
"Let's go to bed. It's been a long day."
"Yeah. It has."

"Zzt - aah..."
"Does it have to make those sounds?" Alex snapped, glaring at 'Mega and Dahlia.
"Apologies if you find them - mm - distracting..."
"'Mega always does this when we tune up. You know that," Dahlia said calmly.
"It's gotten worse," Alex xneered, hunching over his book.
"It's how I was prograaaaaaammed."
"Really?"
Dahlia shook her head and 'Mega let out the robot equivalent of a squeak.
"My creator wanted me to experience pleasure. He said it was a vital part of being human."
"Yeah, well I'm sure all of us would have been fine never knowing what a robot orgasm sounded like."
