Sara was standing right in front of me.
Right now, there were only two real paths I could take with her, and both of them had their own advantages. I could train her slowly, shape her into something useful, turn her into my spy and make her act exactly how I needed her to. That route would take time, patience, and a bit of effort. Or… I could just dominate her completely, break whatever resistance she had left, and take her ability for myself. If I did that, things would become much simpler.
If I managed to dominate her, then the ability I copied from her wouldn't just stay the same. It would improve. That alone made the second option way more tempting than it should be. Her shapeshifting wasn't just some surface-level trick either. It had depth to it. If it evolved under me, there was a real chance it could become something absurdly convincing. Convincing enough that Moriarty wouldn't even realize he was being watched.
And that thought alone was… satisfying.
