V was corrupted, taken over by some program. She had grown wings and had a strange claw in place of one of her hands. At this current moment, her and J were looking at each other. J held a sword, but she was visibly scared, her hands were shaking, and her face showed fear. V, on the other hand, had only an X on her visor. She wasn't herself, and soon J will realise that it's either her or V who dies tonight.
Very quickly, they began to fight, V got a few hits on J as she struggled to fight properly due to her fear, oil leaking from a few parts of her body. Tessa and the others had left her to fight V on her own, and she knew this wasn't truly V, she would know if this was her girlfriend, and right now, it isn't, it's something else. She kept fighting, beginning to get better and more confident as she landed a few hits on V, watching as any damage she did to V seemed to heal almost instantly, but she wasn't willing to give up, not on her girlfriend, this wasn't her and J wanted to put her out of... whatever this is.
Their fight continued and continued, until J landed a hit on V that took her head off, her body fell to the floor and J looked at it in disbelief, expecting it to regenerate but when it didn't she fell to her knees, her mind filled with dread, dropping the sword as tears began to well up on her visor. "V... No... You- You're not dead, are you...? I- I didn't want to hurt you... I love you..." J embraced her body, holding it tight as she began to cry. V didn't deserve this, she was the kindest, most sweet girl J had ever met, J loved her with all her core, she never wanted to hurt her and yet, here she was, holding her lifeless body in her arms. J kept crying, holding her tight, crying on her shoulder, hoping she would simply regenerate already, but the longer it didn't, the more scared J became. What if this was the last time she ever saw her? The last time she saw V was fighting her while she was controlled by something else? J couldn't live with that. She didn't want to be the reason V was dead. "V... I'm sorry... I'm so sorry... You didn't deserve... this."
Some time had passed, and J was still holding V and crying. Eventually, Tessa returned and saw the situation. "J...? What happened?" Tessa asked her, approaching slowly. "I- I killed her, Tessa... I didn't mean to... I didn't WANT to... I-" J cut herself off, still seeming very distressed, her crying seeming to get worse for a moment before she turned to look at Tessa. "Can you... fix her? Please?" J was practically begging Tessa to fix V, and Tessa nodded, agreeing and taking her body from J once she calmed down.
Some time passed, and J had been waiting patiently to see if Tessa would manage to fix V, pacing around, unable to sit still as she worried, the memories of that night haunting her mind. She kept having nightmares from that night, watching as she killed V again and again, watching her lifeless body fall to the floor, it broke her heart, and she couldn't bear it, she just wanted to see V again... alive and herself this time. Soon enough, the door to the room Tessa was working in opened, and she left, gesturing J to go inside. She was hesitant but eventually she went for it, and then she saw it, V was there, alive and seemingly herself, she almost instantly ran to her and pulled her into a tight hug. "V! I missed you so... so much!" She began to cry again, "I'm sorry... I'm so sorry for hurting you..." V embraced J in return, "I forgive you, J." She was a little shocked by her words, "You... remember, what happened?" She asked curiously, pulling away a little to look in her eyes, V then nodded in response, "I do, but I forgive you. I... didn't have control, I didn't want to fight you, and yet... I was forced to anyway..." V began to tear up as well, as J suddenly pulled her into a kiss, holding her in it for a moment before pulling away, "All that matters now is that... you're okay, and that everything seems... normal again." J grabbed her hand and left the room with her, and then the two girls spent the rest of the day together, doing whatever each other wanted, making each other happy, and then finally, sleeping together when the time came. J was clinging to V tonight, lying next to her with her arms wrapped around her lower torso, she didn't want to let V go, not again, she's never letting something like THAT happen again. She very quickly fell asleep with V, the two girls happily cuddling the night away together.
