Lithium
 

Razor mesh and metal armour, shreds the walls and burns the air. Silver/blue, she stalks her prison. Her eyes pierce the forcefield with a glare that says:

I will not yield.

Janeway watches her metal woman stalking. She returns the drone's glare and gives up no ground. Janeway snaps at the guard without breaking eye-contact.

"Lower the forcefield." Janeway steps inside.

Seven approaches with a sneer like royalty. Slides red/black against silver like lithium waiting to burn. "I will destroy you." She declares, and her voice is a challenge wrapped in a body made of steel.

"No. You won't."

The borg may be metal, but Janeway is like fire. Seven of Nine's threats fall at her boots like acid rain. Janeway has a data PADD. She presses it to Seven's chest as if it were a dagger of her own.

"Annika Hansen. You were human once."

Seven catches the PADD against her chest and tries to crush it with her hand. "Never! I am Borg." Silver arm lashes outward, brute strength and flashing metal. She strikes Janeway across the shoulder and drives her backwards to the wall. "There is no Annika Hansen. You are lying to me."

"Annika, this is no lie."

Seven clutches her head in agony, shakes it like she's saying 'no'. It is a truth which she can not reconcile. Janeway breaks her armour and wraps around her fear. Silver/blue/red/black, they sink onto the carpet-floor and Janeway lets the metal tears leak like brands against her skin.

Claiming her metal woman, Janeway holds her silver body like a prized thing in her arms.

"It's all right, Annika. We'll be okay."
