001 __ ( THE GRID )

[isomorphology]

The Grid looks the same day after day, cycle after cycle. Sleek black roads and buildings with glowing lines of energy to decorate them. TRON City is at the heart of the Grid. The skyline doesn't quite go on forever, broken up by the mountains of the Outlands. To the far distance is the Portal - the way out of the Grid. Only one person ever used it: Kevin Flynn. The Creator. Then, his son, Sam Flynn.

Quorra is standing in the roads of the city, looking up at the rain that seems to always fall. She's out of the Grid now. Free to explore the User world. In her dreams, she always returns to the city. She can't tell if it's before or after CLU took over, but it's always empty. Alone in a ghost city. Maybe it's because she's the only remaining ISO.

She sighs and leans against one of the railings of the road.

"Need? That's not how friendship works." Quorra comes to a stop.

It isn't how that works. Anon de-rezzed saving her. Flynn re-intergrated with CLU. Friendship isn't something that is a tool that you throw away.

bah, ignore my getting way off icon-track T_T

Oh, but it is. Friendships are temporary. Practical. Breakable. It's just better to be the one doing the breaking. That's no different no matter what side of any line she puts herself on, whether it's the senshi's coldness or Kunzite's calculation.

If you knew I could betray you, why did you keep me with you?

The past doesn't have to repeat. And even if it does, you can still be useful to me now, isn't that so? We're bound together while we have common interests, and we use each other for those goals.

"It ends after that point," Mercury says simply.

Welcome to my icon life :( :(

"Not for everyone. Sometimes it's all someone has left." She points out, looking down at the street in front of her. Then she raises her eyes and gives a firm nod. It was because of friendship she still exists. Anon, Tron, Flynn and Sam. All of them.

"If it's all that's left, you're already finished." The argument isn't particularly heated, but she isn't letting it go, either. It's important enough to assert herself about.
