Solidify and take it.

Unwilling to fight back, Cassie merely made her body harder and curled up, taking hit after hit. Eventually, Olette was clearly hurting her hands, swatting the girl who was now solid as steel, so instead she grabbed hold of a wet towel and whipped it at the blonde. The strike managed to catch Cassie across one of the more painful bites she’d received at the hands of Fonzie, and it sent her recoiling back into the corner of the shower and falling on her ass.

“HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?!” Olette demanded, standing over her girlfriend. “You were EVERYTHING to me! Everything I ever wanted, and everything I ever wanted to be with!”

“I’m sorry!” Cassie sobbed, pleading with the brunette. “Please, O, you have to believe me! I am so sorry!”

Olette shook her head, bunching up the towel and throwing it at the blonde. “You…You let that sick, demented bitch touch you! You cheated on me with that sadistic freakshow! We are WAY past sorry!”

“Please, just tell me what I need to do!” Cassie cried, crawling on her hands and knees, her head bowed in grief and despair. “Tell me how to fix this, please! Just tell me…tell me how to make it better! How to make you stop hating me!”

O’s lip trembled horribly. She looked angry, sad, and disgusted all at once. She wiped her face and proceeded to turn and leave, though not without whimpering three words. Three words that made Cassie’s heart shatter as she heard them. Three words that echoed in the blonde’s head over and over.

“...Go to Hell.”

Starslip held herself tightly, sobbing hard enough to make her whole body shake. For a long time, the office remained otherwise silent. That was, until the mob boss slowly began to clap, declaring “Well, I guess that means we both lost the trust of the people closest to us."

The Purple Paragon shook in rage as she glared daggers through her nemesis' face. "...If you are going to stand there and expect me to say that what happened to me is the same as what happened to you—"

"Oh, and there it is!" Tammy exclaimed, closing the gap between the two. "That hollier-than-thou attitude that I fucking despise! That mindset where I can't POSSIBLY suffer the way YOU do, because I'm such a horrible person! Face it, blondie: We're BOTH criminals! We’ve ALWAYS been criminals! The only difference is that I accept that and use my status as one for my benefit! You'd just rather be sad and complain that being what you are ruins your life, and expect everyone to feel sorry for you!"

"SHE WAS MY EVERYTHING!" Starslip shouted in Fonzie's face. "I lost her! I lost Olette because, for one sick, degrading night, I let you TOUCH me, made me as sick as you, you disgusting, evil WHORE!"

Alfonso grit her teeth hard, shoving her forehead to the young heroine's. "And doesn't it make you feel SOOO bad, to know that all it took to make you feel better than you ever felt with her was to make you feel just as ‘disgusting’ as me?!"
