- devastating kick towards the head. Sliding around her baton in the air to release concussive blasts of three electric waves.
โ Youโre just as annoying as the old one too. Never did like to duet. โ
Interesting. So she really wasnโt affected.
There was a brief blur of soundwaves, her body moving in what looked like afterimages of sheet music as she expertly moved out of the way of the incoming attacks.
Swerving around towards her blind spot where she would unleash a -

In time, even you will sing for meโฆ โ
The pink-haired villainess was determined, now more than ever. This wasnโt the old bat, but a new one entirely. Perhaps one -
Looking in surprise as she witnessed technology in the entire area become scrambled. Though due to the protective layer over her suit, it was saved some forms of damage.

โ Excuse me. All cell phones must be turned off during our production. So could you please โ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐พ๐. โ
Apparently, you could teach an old dog new tricks. Belting out her voice at a rather heinous pitch, sheโd attempt her own counter, singing at a level that -

She stops her vocals as she remains genuinely surprised at this new figure entering the limelight. Her pawns all freeze up like puppets with their strings cut and go limp.
How could this be? She was told the bat wasโฆ old.
โMind if I join in on this number?โ
Landing down with help of the thrusters in her boots. Smirking cockily at the musician thatโs allowing this musical to take place in the middle of Neo Gotham.

This showโs not over yetโฆ
The bat is goneโฆ
But I may be wrongโฆ
And if I am then..

Crooning to the helpless background extras who stared up at her and provided hypnotic backup vocals to the evil villainess.
Akin the the formation of a marching band, a series of police officers simply allowed one musician to step through, dancing in without any effort at all. With a twirl of her baton, she gestured one of them to kneel before her and kiss her hand.
โ On your kneesโฆ
For my grand -

Launching herself off a building and gliding overhead to witness whatโs going on from a batโs eye view.

One harmonious choir of people, all twirling and dancing about in the center of the city. Mindlessly waltzing while praising some phantom individual.

@hercalvados - voice scratchy thanks to the archival recordings overlapping with her own words. Then, she shivered slightly and reached out to take her hand, closing her eyes and bracing for impact.
โ Donโt make meโฆ regret this. โ

She looked slightly soothed, and yet, afraid. Clenching her teeth as she did not yet know what to believe. But it felt good to be acknowledged as a person for once. Even if it might be a lie.
โ You arenโt ๐ฆ๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ถ๐๐๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐ me? โ
She made out, her -
@hercalvados - songs flooding her brain. Invading her speech until she couldnโt even stop them from flooding out her lips. She had a fear that she would return her to that life of misery, alone in nothingness.
โ How can I ๐บ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ฟ๐๐๐ you . . . ? โ
@hercalvados โ . . . Youโre not going to throw me away? โ
She looked conflicted, a shake in her voice as her form slowly started to stabilize, though also some noticeable roughness returned. That audible tic, that constant reminder of what she was, had returned.
Constant lyrics from -
@hercalvados - other people!?
Itโs either this, or staying a subservient drone! This is the only way I can exist in this world. To take this awayโฆ is to deny my right to live! โ
She pushed her own survival instincts further, using every fiber of her body to become whole again.
@hercalvados - reclaim her freedom was being taken away from her. The one thing that gave her an advantage over the people who sought to use her like a thrown-away toy.
