The Muller Effect discussion

Monroe walked into the Deli, the man at the counter looked at her strangely. It was a little expected, Monroe did have a slightly odd appearance, sharp features, stunning orange eyes a slightly masculine body type for a female and her posture was horrible. Collin, who happened to be baby-sitting her cat named Boho back at their apartment, always told her to fix her posture. Often poking her in the spine if it was really bad, which caused her to flinch and straighten her spine. For the most part she walked with her hands in her cargo-pant pockets, her boots tapping on the ground, hair flipped to one side, and shoulders slouched.
"Hand over the money," she requested, with a snap of her fingers to really get his attention.
"Why would I do that?!" the man protested.
She looked him up and down, noticing the wedding right, she decided to give it a shot.
"You're cheating on your wife, right?" she asked rhetorically.
"What! w-why? Ho-how?" he sputtered.
"Goodness gracious," she sighed, "I'll tell your lovely partner, if you don't," she threatened.
It was petty, but easy. Nothing about this theft was fancy, some of those other guys in the spm had to be showy about it.
Usually, Yerim didn't mind patrols. Didn't mind surveying a stretch of the city to be sure there was no crime. But this time was a little different, considering recent events. The usually empty thoughts — what she might wear for the next day or what she might do with new makeup she'd gotten — were nowhere to be found. Replaced instead by a handful of worries for her teammate.
Perched on a building not far from the deli, with its large glass window, she followed the people that walked by. Only vaguely noted someone walking into the deli. The distressed movement of the owner, though, caught her eyes. This was something she could use as a distraction. Brows lifted, she made her way down to street level. Stepping inside, she leaned against the door.
"What seems to be the problem?"
The bell sounding at the door, caught Monroe's attention, and the moment the hero finished her question the deli owner burst out,
"This thief is lying and threatening me!" he hollered.
"Sir," Monroe started, "I'm not lying, and if anyone is it would be yourself," she clicked her tongue in dismay.
Why, of all days, did this have to happen? It could have been tomorrow, any other day, but her mood was sour and she had little to no energy to deal with this. There was no evidence of the woman trying to rob the deli owner, but his face was red with anger and Monroe appeared untroubled.
"I'm so sorry," Monroe began to apologize, "This man is delusional," "I only asked for bread at half price, since I don't have enough on me at the moment."
This was a lie, but as someone with the ability to detect lies, just by feeling. She was also able to just see when it was happening and knew how to keep herself from being caught, in the case that she herself was lying.
"Wh-what!" "That is not-" the man started,
"It was so, how dare you accuse me without reason," Monroe defended herself.
She knew the deli owner wouldn't admit that he'd cheated on his wife, that meant he wouldn't give the entire story if asked by this 'hero'.
Ginny was in her suit and her hair was up in a ponytail. she had a mask on that didn't show her face, and she looked around. She went to the cashier, "You workin' here?" the cashier nods as her sonic scream was barely there but was audible. "Give me the cash and you won't get hurt, capiche?" she says to him as he was putting cash in the bag. "Oh! and put some ham in there too. You know what just do a sandwich and stuff it in there why don't cha?"
"I'm sorry, who the hell are you?..." Ginny says as she noticed that it was Bianca, the girl from the cafe. she cursed under her breath. "a hundred bucks and a sandwich...now" she said using her sonic scream a bit as she looked at Bianca, "you can't just hijack my heist!"
"Well, don't okay, I don't like it when people do," she says as she grabbed the bag and looked at her, "If you don't mind.." she gestured towards the door, "I would like to go now..." she turned to the worker, "Thanks for this!" she says as she swaggered out and took her mask off when she exited the deli, "The cute one is a frickin' protector!" she whispered yelled along with her sonic.
"Why are you following me?" Ginny asked her, "I hate being followed, everybody knows that!" she says to her as she stupidly turned around and looked at her, "Shoot," she said because she just realized that she didn't have her mask on. "You're a protector then..." she says quietly to her.
"First person I like and you're a protector! why it's like the universe hates me or wants me to be a better person that forgives people" she says as she looked at her, "Surprised...Bianca?" she asked she just wanted to talk as she ate the sandwich she stole.
"I'll just say this is..." she says as she took a step towards her, "You're the first ever person I liked since I was 18, would you even want to go on a date knowing who I am and not being able to tell anyone?" she says to Bianca, "I bet the same goes with you, but can we at least talk?"
Ginny looked at her, "So..a protector?" she asked as she looked at her as she walked away to the nearest trail. She quickly changed out of her uniform and looked at her. "you coming?"
Ginny smiled as she was walking down a trail and looked at her, "Why are you a protector?" she asked as she was genuinely curious. she liked knowing what people did and why. Ginny wanted a connection with someone who actually liked her for her.
"The heroes took everything from me, they took my mother and when she came back...she tried to kill me because at the time I was second in command in the SPM. Then, I fell in love with a hero when I was 18, had two kids and he got killed by his own kind because he was with me. It was my fault!" she said basically telling her life story. "I grew up in SPM, my family was legacies. I climbed to the top by myself and now I'm the leader of SPM" she says to her.
She scoffed, "I'm sorry, I just dumped everything on you!" she says as she sighed and sat down on one of the benches she saw. "I messed up didn't I?"
"I had an informant, I never back down from that. Everyone knows that...do you?" she asked as she looked at her and smiled.
She smiled, "Really?" she was quite shocked that a protector would agree with her
"I never had anybody have my back before" she says
Ginny smiled, "Wait...isn't there a law where the protectors can't date the enemy, which is always us?" she asked, she knew what the rules were because she wanted to be alert at all times
Ginny looked at her, "Really? you don't know the rules and they let you go on missions?" she says to Bianca. she didn't know what to do now, she's never gotten this far on a date before
"So you're at a desk job all the time?" she asked
"So you heal the people I maim?" she says to her
"kinda defeats the purpose on hurting your kind"
"Sometimes, they asked for it"
Ginny looked at her, "Are they going to be worried about you?"
"But, you're their medic?"
She smiled, "Then, what should we do?" she asked Bianca, she really wasn't good when it came to dating
"Where can we go?"
She looked st her, "Sure, why not?"
(yes)she walked with her
