Dysfunction


Pandora's eyes glow black at Jemma as she holds The Box against her chest. Jemma waits for something to happen, but The Box doesn't react to Pandora. It makes her look down at The Box in confusion. When she brings her view back to Pandora, the girl with a destiny is smiling.

"What?" questions Pandora, "Were you expecting something to happen?"

Jemma pulls The Box back in confusion,staring at it before shaking it to see if that will do something. She thrusts The Box into Pandora's chest again, hoping to have it work this time. Still, nothing happens except for Pandora's eyes glowing black.

"I... I don't understand. I thought it would work if I just..." tries Jemma.

"You thought what? You thought if you just put it against my chest, you'd get something out of me? If you wanted to get access to my chest, all you had to do was ask. I mean, it's what you liked the most about me, if I remember right anyway." Pandora says with a bit of a seductive tone.

Again Jemma pulls back from Pandora, this time putting a little distance between them.

"I... I was trying to help you. I wanted you to be okay. Back to the way you were." Jemma attempts to explain.

"And what makes you think that I want to go back? Going back means getting all weepy again. To worrying about how other people feel and caring about what they want. I'm not interested in that anymore." Pandora declares rather forcefully.

It takes Jemma a second to respond, "That's what I didn't see."

"What?"

Just then, someone comes in.

"My lady..." starts the entering subject before seeing Jemma, "The interloper!"

Jemma puts some distance between all three of them out of caution. Pandora holds up her hand to stop them as they try to rush in.

"It's fine." insists Pandora, making her subject stop, "Whatever she came to do, she failed."

She turns her focus back to Jemma, looking her right in the eyes.

"She can go." commands Pandora.

Jemma doesn't move right away, looking between Pandora and her subject. When it's clear that they will do as Pandora says, Jemma cradles The Box and runs out of the cafeteria. Pandora waits a little while before turning to her subject. They bow to her before she speaks.

"What is it?"

The subject takes a moment, "We have a problem."

"Well don't keep it to yourself." insist Pandora.

"Jemma and your father aren't the only ones who are resisting." her subject explains.

That has Pandora turning to them, "Who?"
