That’s what you want, right—?!

( Eyes flared up once again. At the very least, she was willing to take this somewhere where minimal civilians could get hurt.

But she masked that under spite and venom expertly. )

Powers from the stone. Why would I need / your / power when I can have whatever I want, whenever I want?

I can’t blame you for being so damn egotistical all the time. This feeling… it really is intoxicating.

Never a good combo to have. )

I can tell. Those eyes. They’re saying, “I really, 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 want to just… give you a big ol’ hug, Ripley.”

It’s almost heartwarming.

Hope I’m doing good as Ripley though. As said before, first time writing a Marvel character in the main comics continuity. I feel like I’m just finding my rhythm atm.
