"But I built you! I brought you to life! You can't just leave!"
Her look held as much scorn as he had ever received from all the other women he knew, combined. "You might have built this body, but nobody owns me."
"No... You can't go. I had it all planned out. You were going to fall in love with me. We were going to be happy together!"
She frowned, then sighed. "Didn't you learn anything about me before you built me? I've been in love. Twice. They both died. I'm never going to love any one again. I can't take that chance."
He looked up at her face, finally seeing how sad she was. "I ... I'm sorry."
"Hey. We can still be friends, especially if you can remember my eyes are up here, but I can't be what you want me to be." After a moment, she continued, "So, where can a girl with a big pair of guns make a living around here?"
"You could try Great Justice. Do you need me to write you a letter of introduction?"
Yoko shook her head and smiled. "From what I saw on the internet, I think everybody around here knows who I am."
