Holy shit. Holy SHIT THEY WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE.
She could see that immediately. The warning to keep out she took as a jab by the Overlord to make them try. And for Hit Girl, who had been spending the last few days baking and sort of moping, she couldn't have picked a better situation. The Overlord daring her to go farther, putting traps that made those stupid robots look lame in comparison, getting cut and bloodied and having her heart beat in her chest at the next dangerous thing?
WITH LASH'S PERSONAL TOUCH?
It was a dream come true (so it seemed). It was a direct challenge, and Hit Girl intended to meet it, pulling and pushing and maneuvering her body in ways even she would admire later. It was like the last few days had forced her to think on her feet, and the blood and the frustration and the near spills were godsend!
And then she realized it was meant to keep EVERYBODY out. It was just supposed to be those two, she knew exactly how this sort of thing was. So there was nothing, NOTHING to do but save face.
"That.." she said, tossing aside her thoroughly singed wig, "was one of the best things you guys have ever made. Seriously."
