Autumn eventually showed the video to mister Hebert.
"No you don't need to pay me back. 3000 is nothing to my family." Autumn says
"…"
"…"
"I don't believe I got your last name Autumn." Daniel Hebert says
"And you won't." Autumn says
"So, should we call the PRT?" Daniel asks
"I would say not to… let the police contact them. If they try to bury this I'll bury them." Autumn says
"Bury them?" Daniel asks
"Well no, kinda I meant it more figuratively rather than literally. Though I haven't sank an oil platform before." Autumn says
=================
Several hours later.
Autumn is in an interrogation room on an oil rig off shore.
Taylor is in the one across with her dad there.
Which Autumn is able to hear.
===================
"We are not signing anything without a lawyer." Daniel Hebert says for the 10th time.
"I don't know why you would care about us signing it? I am not the one with the video." Taylor says
"This is a you problem! How about you find out why you heard nothing of what Sophia has done." Daniel says
The woman who is talking to them actually seems on the back foot.
====================
"I'm surprised mr Hebert can talk like that… I mean they'll probably just get let go eventually if not I'll get us out." Autumn says
"Do we have to worry about you breaking out and going on a rampage?" A woman says
She has Dark haired and olive skinned. And wears a scarf and sash around her waist patterned after the American flag, and stylized, fitted army fatigues
"Nah? I would just teleport out." Autumn says
"Teleport?" The woman asks
"What's your name?" Autumn asks
"I go by miss militia." The cape says
"Hmm, interesting name. So what do you want from me? Afterall I probably don't show up in anything you've got and won't." Autumn says
"Would you be interested in joining the wards? We could get you a proper identity." Miss Militia asks
"No… I mean why would I join a team of thugs for a corrupt government entity with little to no oversight?" Autumn asks
"You are not an American citizen though." Miss Militia says
"Ah, how sure of that are you?" Autumn asks
"I'll have you know my mother was from the land of flowers, also known as La Florida." Autumn says
Miss Militia watches as the girl leans back into her chair.
Armsmaster walks in. Wearing some form of exoskeleton like power armor.
"She told the truth." Armsmaster says
"Hey I should be showing up in your system in 3… 2… 1…" autumn says
About 30 seconds later a man rushes into room whispering into armsmasters ear? Helmet?
Down the hall the same thing happens with the director the the local PRT branch.
"You used a back door that was installed into our system? Because that's all that your description says." Armsmaster says
'Good job Logic you nailed it.' Autumn thinks trying not to giggle.
"Well, if a back door was installed y'all should probably clean house." Autumn says
"We can't let you go till you sign some NDA's and delete that video." Miss Militia says
"Ah, you can't hold me though? I haven't committed a crime. To top all of that off 911 didn't happen here there is no patriot act. You can not hold me legally. I mean if you were going to be filing a charge you could technically hold me for up to 72 hours excluding holidays. On top of all of this I've already hacked that camera and I'm more than willing to show your dirty laundry to the world." Autumn says
"If you were attempting to strong arm a little girl. Congratulations you've failed and managed to anger me." Autumn says
"All true but the part about us angering her." Armsmaster says
"Yeah, to be honest. It's my hospitality preventing me from just walking out." Autumn says
"Could you at least stop hacking PRT systems?" Armsmaster asks
Autumn takes a deep breath.
"I refuse!" Autumn says with a shit eating grin.
The grumbling and frustrated noises like music to her cat ears.
"Oh.. I should also be bullet proof? I think? In truth I've never been hit." Autumn says
