Viral had come to the Hive Tower without any weapons.
Her equipment was the grappling hook she had left at the roof of the Gotham Museum the night before. Now that she was going to receive a weapon of her own, she grew more and more excited.
The Tech Room was just as empty as last time, but she knew the robot that had taken the meteorite was here somewhere.
"Droid", she spoke in an elevated voice, near-shouting.
The droid appeared a moment after, and made its way towards the human that called it.
"Oh! Miss Viral, yes, wait just one second"
It turned back and retrieved a box; checking the written information on it before nodding and walking back to Viral.
"Your double-bladed short sword"
It handed the box to her gently.
Viral took the box and opened it on the counter that divided the two.
The sword was exquisite. Well-crafted. She lifted it up by the midsection that separated the two blades-- she guessed that was where one would hold the weapon. The sword had a greenish gleam to it-- most likely thanks to the kryptonite that had fused with the metal-- and fit perfectly in her gloved hand. It reminded her of a miniature bow; the two blades jutted out from the core in a similar shape.
She stepped back to test it out; swinging it around as quickly as she could. She was then tempted to slice through the furniture, or perhaps the droid that had made it, but she knew the headmaster might not be too plesaed with her actions.
"I guess I'll really test you out later" she said, whispering to the greenish reflection of her own face in the blades.
The droid then proceeded to give her a special sheath for the sword. She attached it securely around her waist and slipped the short-sword in.
"Thanks love" she said, grinning at the droid and then leaving the Tech Room.
