Editing Sidepiece (section)

====[[Ashley Stillons]]====
She became friendly with Ashley when [[Swansong|she]] was infiltrating the villains at Hollow Point, hitting it off during the Assault on the Fallen Compound.<ref name=5.10e3/> Sidepiece somewhat admires Swansong, though she still thinks of her as Damsel, and considers her friend material, but only after getting her off of her high horse.<ref name=thoughts>She missed Damsel.  Damsel had been willing to let the facade crack to fucking smile now and then.  Sidepiece had started to think it was all an act, part of the undercover op, but during the interrogation in the shed, she’d still seen those small smiles.<br/><br/>Shit like that fueled Sidepiece.  It was rare she could meet someone and feel like she could take on the world with them at her side.<br/><br/>She kept picking up guns.<br/><br/>She wasn’t done with Damsel, she decided.  If the princess wanted to act proper and heroic, then Sidepiece would find a way to drag her into the muck.  There was a kind of romance in the mental picture of the two of them too beat up to move, bloody and dirty, and the facades cracking.  Emotion pouring out.<br/><br/>There was a romance to the scene, but a purely platonic intent, she decided.   Damsel’s ass was far too skinny for Sidepiece’s tastes. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/12/29 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 11.a II]]</ref>

As an example, she will compliment her and insult her within the same conversation.<ref>“Fuck you,” Sidepiece said, turning to Swansong.  “The short hair looks good, hon, but you looked way better in black and fuck you.”<br/><br/>“The white is growing on me,” Ashley said.<br/><br/>“Is the ‘fuck you’ growing on you too?  Go fuck yourself with the business end of a broken bottle, yeah?” Sidepiece retorted. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/11/20 Excerpt] from [[Polarize 10.9]]</ref> Regardless Sidepiece did incorporate makeup tips she saw Ashley use.<ref name=mask/>

Prolly safe to assume that her relationship transferred to the [[Damsel of Distress III|last Damsel standing]].<ref>“You can’t use your powers!  This area is high-risk!”<br/><br/>“Fuck you!” Sidepiece screamed the words.<br/><br/>“How convenient for the heroes.  Scared!?” she called out.<br/><br/>“Heck yeah we’re scared!” I answered.  “You’re like an arsonist at a gas station!”<br/><br/>“Can we do that later?” Sidepiece asked Damsel. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/08/24 Excerpt] from [[From Within 16.4]]</ref>
