"Okay." She took a breath. "I think 'who I am' is something you'll learn over time, but I've been a homicide detective in New York for almost ten years, and it's been....good enough to keep doing it, I guess." It was more the case that she could never have imagined being anything else, still couldn't, but her pathological need to walk in her father's footsteps was something that could stay under wraps for the time being. "I came here because..."
Because she was tired. Sick and goddamn tired of being led through her life by the Witchblade like a dog on a leash. Sick of convincing herself there was some kind of power struggle going on when by being 'chosen' she'd already lost. She rolled her shoulders.
"The Admiral invited me, and it sounded like a good cause. I have a deal, for a friend, but I'd probably still be here even if I hadn't been offered."
