Kasumi had been about ready to run back to the elevator and head to the hangar when she received a call on her communicator. "Kasumi, it's Miranda," she heard. "It's done. Come to my office and we'll talk about what happens next."
Breathing a sigh of relief, Kasumi walked down the hall and turned to Miranda's office. When she arrived, Miranda was seated at her desk, a tired look on her face.
"What happened? You were gone so long, I was worried that..." Kasumi caught something out of the corner of her eye and jerked. Jack was sitting against the wall. Kasumi's hand reflexively went to her cloak, until she noticed the blank stare in Jack's eyes. She looked brain-dead, her body limp and lifeless.
"What did you do?" Kasumi asked.
A weak smile crossed Miranda's face. "I managed to get the device away from her," Miranda pointed to the small box on her desk. "I hit Jack with it but... I wasn't as much like her as she thought. In the end, as much as I hated her for what she did, I couldn't bring myself to kill her."
Kasumi stared down at the comatose Jack. "So, instead you made her brain-dead?"
"I made her remember all the pain she had caused in her life," Miranda said. "All the misery and suffering, and I told her that she feel it for herself, only a hundred times as strong. Guess it was too much for her mind to handle. I still managed to lead her up here, but only leading her by the hand. She's pretty much a vegetable now."
Staring down at the defeated woman and unable to keep herself from feeling a small amount of pity for the empty shell there on the floor, Kasumi shook her head. "It must have been a hell of a fight, you taking so long and all. I was up here for hours while you..."
"While I fucked her," Miranda said. Seeing Kasumi's shocked reaction, she sighed. "I nearly surrendered to it. God help me, all that she had put me through, there was a part of me that had enjoyed what she did to me. That wanted it more than anything. It took Jack telling me her plans that finally made me realize what I had to do."
Kasumi sat down in a chair near Miranda and rested a hand on her shoulder. "If you don't want to talk about it..."
"No, it's okay. Turns out I was just the beginning," Miranda said with a shudder. "She was going to take over the minds of Shepard, Liara... use them to get access as many people in power as possible. She wanted to control the entire galaxy."
"My God. I knew she was dangerous, but if I'd thought she was capable of..." Kasumi smiled. "Well, it doesn't matter. It's over now."
Miranda placed her hand on Kasumi's. "Thanks for your help. I never would have been able to beat her without you." Leaning back in her chair, she rubbed at her eyes. "Now we just need to deal with how we're going to explain this to Shepard and everyone else. What did you tell Shepard about what was going on?"
"Nothing," Kasumi said. "Like we planned, I was going to hold off until things with Jack were handled, make sure nobody interfered with you getting your revenge."
"So you didn't tell anybody about what was going on?"
Kasumi shook her head. "No, just like we..." and as soon as the words were out of her mouth and she saw the change that came to Miranda's face, Kasumi knew that she had just colossally fucked up.
Behind her, she heard a rustle. "About damn time, princess, my muscles were starting to cramp up sitting down there," Kasumi turned to see Jack rising to her feet. "You ready to get started with this one?"
When Kasumi turned back to Miranda, the device was in her hand and pointed at Kasumi's head.
"Jack, love," Miranda said with a smirk, "I was made for this."
"No, plea..." was all Kasumi was able to get out before Miranda hit the button and her mind went blank.
