A Green Tinted Sky

[Aadibah]

"Well, how do we know we even exists in the same universe?"

What the hell? Universe? Was this man out of his damned mind? Aadibah had heard of the multiverse theory before, but was this man honestly trying to use it as an excuse for how he had acquired her tech? Even after that he kept going on about how he had some sort of surgical implantation but had lost it, and then how he made the touch pad he had on now.

She also did not appreciate the comment on her suit. Mainly because she had been dumb enough to keep her sleeves rolled up, so now he knew it was there, but the fact that the man had the balls to call her pride and joy "outdated."

I think he might actually believe his own story. Aadibah could tell from his complexion, his demeanor, his eyes that he spoke as if with truth. She had seen the same in many of her enemies...

about this...woman...who is not entirely different....from you...Aadibah?

At this, Aadibah was had no response. The man stepped back as if he was surprised, and there was a long pause. Aadibah's eyes traveled up, down, all along the man's body, sizing him up. If she lunged at him now, he probably wouldn't be able to react, trying to maintain his facade. However, the pistol could still be drawn up faster than her own rifle.

As the soldier thought about all of these things, her body visibly tensed up. Her stance became rigid and posed, her legs set farther apart, and her shoulders set slightly back.
