Yes, unlike in the cannon of the series this version of Scardino isn't distracted with the pursuit of a relationship that will never happen (or is doomed from the start) and is very motivated to bring McCarthy to justice. His willingness to ask for help and be willing to help Jimmy doesn't hurt either. wink

Yeah, for some reason it skipped a part when I was selecting and copying and pasting. Fixed now! smile

:roftl: Yes, the information will send them in the right direction.

Yes, leg-breaker and Albie will be spending some quality time with doors that don't open from the inside and cell bars....

I hope she tells Henderson, who will want her to see Dr. Klyburn (can't help it, first thing to my mind was pianist Van Clyburn) who will try to help her.

Haha, well Dr. Klyburn is actually from the comics as a scientist at S.T.A.R. Labs. Mayson definitely is recognizing something isn't right and will soon begin to seek out answers...possibly in not the greatest ways... but she'll be searching for answers.

All of the non-lethal actions against Lois - the clothing, the notes, and now the death threat - could be from someone mind-controlling Mayson. And if she does realize it, will that be enough to interfere with her programming? Maybe even enough to alter or break it? And does the flicker in her laptop screen have anything to do with updating her programming?

(whistles innocently) I'm not confirming or denying that any of the above is true but you're .... [Linked Image]

Yeah, that would be very interesting.

Mayson is very independent and will go through desperate measures to get the answers she wants. Which may prove more than she or those in her path can handle.

You have a total of 23ish chapters for this adventure. More to come soon!

To correct my earlier spelling: Hit me with your best shot!

Oh, well, you did anyway.

You gave them a very nice morning after in the beginning of the chapter. That was good of you, considering what you did at the end. evil !

Let's see what we have here.

Dr. Klyburn has stayed away from the piano long enough to analyze the chip from the blast that killed the DA. And that information is going to the police. Will it go where it needs to go?

Sean McCarthy is about to trigger another blast. Where? And who's the target?

Mayson's erratic behavior has caught the attention of police brass, but they're legally limited in what they can do. Legally, that is...

Ah. McCarthy's target - illegal workers and illicit drugs. You've shown us how a sociopath thinks, and he may have gone too far this time. Intergang will be after him. And Superman will save as many lives as he can.

Mayson's back out among sane citizens, and it's possible she'll blame Lois for everything that's going crazy in her world. It's certain she still thinks Lois tried to blow her to smithereens. She'll want payback now.

Superman to the rescue! Yay! And he's truly angry that McCarthy not only endangered innocents (illegals, yes, but they didn't sign up to be victims) of his revenge scheme. The mad bomber's days of freedom are numbered in the low double digits, if that many.

Jimmy's back, too! The fact that his mind is now clear gives us hope that Mayson can be helped effectively. Of course he's gonna bust his butt getting as much information to Clark and Lois as he can. And they'd better not let him near Rollie Vale when this is over.

But the second stalker (I still think it's unconscious Mayson) is still harassing her. Once can be ignored, twice can make you wary, a pattern of such acts will make you jumpy and cost you sleep and hinder clear thinking. Lois is close to that point now.

McCarthy has angered the head of Intergang, and it's going to be bloody. Will Bill Church's minions - or Superman - find McCarthy before he blows up CostCo's main office? Stay tuned!

Now Henderson's in play. He's enlisted Superman to be on the lookout for Mayson, and when he finds her she might be pointing a weapon at Lois. Doesn't bode well for her physical health.

STAR Labs is a player, too. How much you wanna bet they'll come up with a way to jam the transmissions to those microchips, maybe even override them? With Klyburn and Stone on the job, anything's possible.

McCarthy seems to have come unhinged, too. One man declaring war on a city? And expecting to survive? Dan Scardino to the rescue! (Bet no one ever wrote that before.)

And you leave us with Mayson armed and holding Lois and her police escort hostage. Great. I don't suppose you'll bring Zara and Ching into the picture now, will you? I'm not sure how else to stir up this cauldron of chaos.

And now I want the next chapter! Any time you're ready, Val! Bring it on! I'm more than ready! devilsplat

[Linked Image] The frustration is definitely starting to mount.

Oh, McCarthy is most definitely evil and twisted and very aware of the fact that he's triggering the head of Intergang.

I will not confirm or deny anything. You'll find out in the next chapter. Which is the end of this lovely twisted tale. evil

Mayson will be pushed to her breaking point next chapter.

Well it takes a certain level of psychotic in order to kill innocent people without a care in the world. devilsplat angel-devil
