WR stared at Gidget as they considered her words, before turning their gaze to the ceiling as well. Crossing their arms over their chest, they gave a little sigh.
"Yeah, I guess so," they agreed, "It's kinda liberating in a way, to not be tied down to others' expectations. Now I can just, live for us, I guess. I dunno. How're you feeling? You seem kind've... out of it today."

She glanced down at her feet for a moment before giving a shrug.
"I've got about twenty things I need to do... I ran into Scott. Well, kind of..."

"Doppelganger?" They asked, rolling their head over to halfway meet her gaze.

She gave a slight shake of her head.
"CIA experiment, by the looks of it. He had implanted memories and codes, like an android or something. He wasn't Scott, but he looked just like him. Even sounded like him, too. Right up until he tried to kill me."

"What the fuck?" They murmured, a low growl in their tone. "The CIA sent him after you? Is he from our world?"

She gave a nod, rubbing her cheek with one hand.
"I don't know if they specifically sent him after me, but he's from our world. I assume he either attacked me because I'm an experiment or a Meta. Don't know which, yet."

"Well, that ain't a coincidence," they said, unfolding their arms and reaching to curl their fingers between hers. "We're gonna figure that shit out, though, yeah? If nothing else."

She fell silent for a moment, staring off into space.
"A completely inorganic being... and an organic being with artificial enhancements... Wonder what they're plan is." She spoke softly, thoughtfully, as she continued to stare. There had to be something she was missing.
"I could access his code for a minute there, but they must have some ping system set up. The second I did, they knew."

WR joined Gidget in silence and contemplated what she was saying. Honestly, it didn't make much sense to them, which made their desire to help all the more irritating.
"Well, anything I can help with?" They asked, tossing their head toward her. "I don't know a lot about technology or machines or whatever, but if something needs a hole punched through it, I got you." They said with a little chuckle.

Gidget fell into a contemplative silence, staring off into space.
"You could meet him. See if he ends up trying to attack you. That way, I'll at least know if it's because of my chip or my Qi."

"Alright, what's my limit? C'mon, you know if he starts some shit, I'mma have to rough 'em up a bit," They grinned, cracking their fists.

She couldn't help the slight grin on her face. She shouldn't be smiling, knowing WR was all but threatening Scott, but...
"Just don't kill him."

"That's all? Damn, you make my job so easy," WR chuckled, shifting their weight to plop down right next to GIdget, and wrapping an arm around her. "That all? We haven't had one of these talks in awhile, so if you got somethin' to rant about, I'm ready to burn down the world with you."

Gidget took a deep breath, leaning her head back on WR's arm and staring up at the ceiling.
"I... don't know. I'm still trying to get established here, and I..." She sighed softly, closing her eyes. It was hard to think about. She felt... directionless.

WR fell into contemplation at Gidget’s silence, and turned their gaze to the ceiling as if searching there for words.
“Lost?” They finally asked, turning back to her. That was a feeling they were all too familiar with, especially now.

She sighed softly and nodded.
"Back home, I knew what I was doing. I was taking over the Dark Web. I was helping the TSI with their security. I was helping you and Drake. And now... I'm just sort of here. I feel like an extra in your stories." She chuckled softly, running a hand through her hair.

"There's no reason any of that has to change," They murmured, running their fingers through her hair. "Since I've known you, you've always wanted to help. No matter where you end up, there will always be someone to help, and someone's ass to kick...and hey, me and Drake would be lost without you. I can admit that. He won't, but... he knows it's true, and so do you. I don't think you're lost, I just think this place doesn't feel like a home yet."

She leaned her head ever so slightly into their fingers, staring blankly ahead. She felt like she had no future here, nothing to focus on or think about... all she had here was Drake and WR.
Shouldn't that be enough?
Sighing, she rolled her head onto their shoulder and peered up at them.
"I just... need to find something to do with my time."

WR caressed her cheek with their free hand, resting it under her chin. "Well, we can hit up the town, you and me? See if we can find something to invest some time into?" They looked down at her quizzically, lightly stroking her chin with their thumb.

Gidget contemplated that for a moment before she nodded. Her eyes lit up and she turned to look at them with a slow, devilish grin.
"You mean, find some trouble before trouble finds us?"
