Lucy was huddled in her room, as she had cans of beer laying on her little table. She laid on the sofa looking at the ceiling for something. Which was nothing, Lucy hadn't heard his voice in 2 days wondering what he was up to. With his second summoner, as she was told about.
'How did someone summon him?'
She really thought and tried to figure it out.
'Could someone found a book similar to what I found?'
That's the best conclusion she ever came up with. Someone had found the same book, but if they did where there more to find?
Lucy didn't like that she felt like he would be gone forever. She didn't know why she was thinking that.
Then again she remembered his words of not leaving her for the other. He can multitask he said, but she tried to speak to him in her mind and no response. She even stopped stealing for those 2 days wondering around the city lost in the moment. He might have been quite annoying but charming.
Teasing her and making her feel a bit flustered when she was the type to tease others. A woman who knew of her own charms. But being quite alone throughout her life not counting the merc gang she was in.
'Why do I feel empty?.....I can't believe i'm feeling like this because he doesn't respond to me.'
She felt like some love sick girl, she could only laugh how foolish she was being.
"its only two days."
She muttered, only for her to think about it.
"Two days....."
It was new to her to feel this way, she was smart and really she thought she was being stupid. Many would think so she was out of character.
It's not like she should summon him for protection because she wasn't in no danger. But she was tempting right now. Since, she knew of how he can easily tell if she needed him for protection.
But would he answer just to be here with her? Just to chill.
Debating that idea in her mind. She rolled on the sofa to her side.
'Tch, I feel like you're a bastard playing with a woman's heart.'
She sighed how she was acting.
****************
Gloria fell to her knees as blood leaked from her nose. She stared at the enemies with a blank look. She just used her Sandevistan which helps her accelerate to inhuman speeds. Making it hard for anybody to keep up with her.
That was the Sandevistan at it's finest, the best military grade equipment. Making anything seem slow to her but it has heavy drawbacks. Because she never experienced this and she wasn't that well in having the best combability with such cyberware.
Her tolerance with things like this being part of her body took a heavy toll.
'Get up or you'll die.'
His voice echoed in her mind, as she felt her world slow down again. She tapped into the Sandevistan and her body fired up. As after images was created of her moving around. She put a gun in underneath a man's chin blowing his head open.
She quickly moved fast creating more after images. As she put a bullet in each of their heads. Until she stopped and everything went to normal speed. She gasped, as she felt the strain on her body.
She felt like she was glitching out, as she looked at the killing she did. Ace was here to see how this Sandevistan worked. He nodded as he had come to a conclusion on what to do for her. He hadn't helped her yet.
But now seeing the Sandevistan at work, he smiled as he picked up Gloria into a princess carry. He had her kill gang members. She didn't flinch at that idea, she was willing to do almost anything that didn't cross her moral line. Killing. murder, kidnapping and maybe even torture.
But she wouldn't touch the innocent people.
As the room was bathed in blood, Ace saw more coming towards them. The commotion was to grand, and he just looked at them.
"Die!"
They shot at him, but all bullets just disintegrated before coming in contact with him. Gloria looked at Ace and saw images of him, she was loosing it a bit. As she went back to sleep.
"Rise."
Instantly fromt he shadows, groups of zombies grabbed ahold of the gangsters legs as many screamed.
"Oh shit!?"
"What the fuck is this!?"
"Aaaaah!"
They shot at them but many came in infinite numbers till each of them had their legs, arms, face, and brain chewed out. Tearing their bodies apart, they screamed in fear and agony.
As the zombies growled and ate them alive. Ace disappeared with Gloria.

"Happy to see you awake."
He sat down looking at her sleep, she gasped and looked around. To see her hands trembling from yesterday. She used the Sandevistan multiple times and she knew that it can harm her. The Doc had once had her made her keep a deal if she felt any terrible pain and if she wanted it off.
He would take it from her for free. Gloria vision came back from the blur, as she saw his smile and gaze at her.
Knowing she can go psycho from overuse and never return back. He had spied on the Doc learning all kinds of information.
"I'll give you now a better upgrade to that Sandevistan you have....something that will turn the tides around a power that no human should have."
He leaned forward and kissed her as he changed her body structure. Instead of accelerated movement, she can stop time. But the drawback was a cheeky one from him.
It might seem like a small boost. But it's an unstoppable power coming from Ace. Since her time stop will last five minutes. The only bad thing for her would be that if she wants to time stop again for another 5 minutes.
She has to kiss him that was requirement for such power. He can think of anything, have her relieve her trauma, train her till she is on the brink of death.
He finds different ways to make it entertaining. With every summoner that summons him. A nice little thing he also done for her was having her be unable to be hacked. Can't be vulnerable by those netrunner especially with someone as skillful as Lucy.
She blushed as he looked at her after their lips parted. Maybe she was starting to feel alive, to feel like a light was getting close to her darkness.
"A kiss is required for your new power."
She felt information being fed into her mind, Ace made it faster for her to understand her position now. Her heart thumped louder, as her womanly instincts were awakening.
"Better use your power right for that goal of yours."
He then disappeared leaving her to her thoughts that went wild.
