"You knew?" It comes out as a whisper. Your knotted throat refuses to let you get any louder.
"Oh! Nicole, Nicole, Nicole! We knew for a while! But, in the spirit of keeping competition fair!!!"
The crowd's incessant laughter is only emboldened.
"We paid them no mind! Now, once they started getting real serious, some of us might've humored the idea of doing something. Sure."
"But why should we, we thought? Our glorious hero, our glorious Nicole, she dealt with the inconvenience for us!"
"I gotta say! For a random Cityslicker to bring them down, that's pretty damn impressive! I heard she even killed one of their four 'CEOs'-"
"YOU FUCKING KNEW?!" You immediately sent the microphone flying off the stage with your telekinesis. It smacks into a random dinner guest with a wolf's head. His groans of pain are the only thing you can hear now. The rest of the crowd has gone silent.
"Yeah?" The Host shrugs as if this shouldn't be a revelation. "We knew them long before we knew about you. You were a mystery until the gassing incident but the STILLE DAG?"
"We knew some folks from old B-Corp held some grud-"
You stomp up right towards the shit-eating Host. You yank HARD on his tie to get him to shut up. "ALL OF THIS TIME. WHEN I WAS FIGHTING FOR MY FUCKING LIFE. BEING HUNTED AND STALKED BY THEM FOR MONTHS ON MONTHS." Your memory on how long they've deemed you a POI is fuzzy but it's been for a WHILE. "AN UNCOUNTABLE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE TRANSFORMED INTO ANOMALIES TO THEM - NOT TO FUCKING MENTION THE UNDERGROUND FACILITY!"
"AND YOU DID NOTHING?! YOU JUST THOUGHT, OH WOW, THESE SILVER GUYS REALLY ARE WEIRD! HAHA!" All you can see is pink. "BUT HAHAHA, SEEMS LIKE SOME RANDOM SCHIZO GIRL IS KEEPING THEM DISTRACTED, HAHAHA! WE SHOULD TOTALLY PUT ALL OF OUR FAITH INTO HER!!!"
"EVEN THOUGH THEY COULD'VE KILLED GOD KNOWS HOW MANY CEOS!!! I WORKED WITH ONE OF THEM!!!" You pull tighter on his tie. The Host struggles to breath but no one is moving to stop what's happening. The corners of his mouth is twisted like he's about to smirk at any moment. "SHE KILLED ONE!!! WHO KNOWS WHAT DAMAGE THEY'D COULD'VE DONE IF I DIDN'T RAT OUT THEIR DOUBLE AGENTS HERE!"
"OH! DID WE FORGET ABOUT THE NUKE TOO? THE NUKE THAT COULD'VE TURNED G-CORP'S TERRITORY INTO AN IRRADIATED HELLSCAPE?! THEY COULD'VE DONE IMMEASURABLE DAMAGE TO THE CITY!!! AND YOU DID NOTHING?"
You let go of his tie. He stumbles away from you before reaching to clutch at his throat. He loosens it to make sure he can breath before he turns back to address you.
"Yep! After all, you won! You sent them into hiding. Why would we bother doing anything? The problem solved itself."
"HELL!!! WHY AREN'T YOU DOING ANYTHING NOW?! THEY'RE WEAK! DEFENSELESS!! YOU CAN KILL THEM NOW!!!"
The Host is oddly confused at your concerned tone. He clearly doesn't understand why this is riling you up.
"Why, it's simple! So you can keep fighting them! Oh, they're sturdy little guys, I'll give them that! They'll come back soon!"
"Oh! Nicole, Nicole, Nicole! We knew for a while! But, in the spirit of keeping competition fair!!!"
