Questionable Questing

But taking from the standard cuck son trope. Gloria has her job, occasionally scalping used Chrome from corpses, occasionally purposely letting certain people die if need to access their bodies. Is a part of a crew of doctors that are selling these parts to a certain gender or corpo adjacent business. Everything's running smoothly at first.

But then she gets a new coworker, someone who styles himself a badass edge runner, hired on after Gloria's old boss was caught pocketing too much into his own pocket or he killed the wrong person. This new guy is here to straighten things out for the mystery buyers. See how far the rot went and if anyone else was stealing. See's an obvious weak point in Gloria and targets her.

I'm listening. The cliches are built. Now for the depth of Gloria's personality and will

Not just to make his bosses happy, but seeing this fine desperate Milf, he decides he wants some of his own action with her. Through a mixture of flirting and threatening, manages to wear her down. Now Gloria doesn't like him, nor is she stupid enough to fall for his "charm" and is willing to call Maine and get him involved if push comes to shove, even if she wants to avoid using that favor for now.

But for now she thinks she has it under control, and with the vague corpo bullshit going on in the background doesn't want anyone else getting caught up in it. The guy though starts to get a little pissed. Turns out a lot of people were selling underneath the copro's nose, Gloria included, and his boss isn't happy with his lack of progress. He also feels like he's getting blue-balled. Eventually forces her on a date.

This is building up to him insulting and attacking a protective David and Gloria going psycho mama wolf

They drink. They reach her apartment. He touches her. She tries to stop it. He threatens to expose what she's done, and without that extra income from her backroom doors David can't afford the school, so she surrenders. And the guy drunk and angry as he's pounding her into the ground says the one thing he shouldn't have.

He mentions how he can't wait for David to get home and see how to properly treat his whore of a mom. Gloria, see's that in the middle of everything he had hacked her phone and called her son home from the friend he was supposed to be staying with all night. Gloria snaps. Everything goes black, and when she wakes up the man's brains and blood are covering her hands and David is hugging her.

And only wearing blood, her EMT jacket, and with cum spilling down her leg she reassures David, calls her favor with Maine to look out for him, and calls up the dead man's boss. She tries to play it off that he had tried to coerce her into helping him with the backroom deals, which as it turns out he was involved in, but the bosses know there's more to the story and they want a meeting.

Ah. Gloria been hooking herself up with cybertech?

I love how you have David hugging her. He saw her coverre in gore and first thought is making sure she's okay

They talk to her and they explain, they don't care if she's corrupt or not. They don't even care if the man's dead or if he was stealing from them. What they care about was that this man was one of the best net runners they had and how exactly Gloria managed to bruteforce her way through having every single one of her Augments deactivated and kill him.

And as you can probably already imply offer, or more like threaten, her a job. To act as a fixer on their behalf and unknowingly to Gloria, see why and how exactly her body seems to be responding to chrome so differently.

Having Gloria be the source of David's hyper adaption to augments

That's the idea. Plus it gives some nice needed tension in the background. The more powerful, rich, and famous Gloria becomes, while it'll give her the ability to give David the life she's always wanted for him, it'll also put a target on his back as all the other corpo's slowly learn about his and her's special genes and want it for themselves.

And her cyber psychosis be a odeipal thing. For general worldbuilding I would have liked cyber psychosis in the show to be more then go nuts and kill people

The only woman she can trust to love him and be a good wife is her

David is also going to be having some complicated feelings too. His mom has had to murder and prostitute herself to give him this luxurious life style. Anytime he dress in these silk clothes or eats real meat, all he be able to think about it that night and how much more his mom has to do. He'll hate it. He wants to do something. He'll want to save her like she's some princess and he's the prince.

Gloria a seductive sells herself to her bosses whore but she's been getting more dates planned with David and treating him as her favorite man. Gloria proving to him his mother isn't a princess. She's a dragon

That's kind of the idea I'm going for. David wants to rescue her, Gloria thinks she's too much of a cruel bitch to ever deserve something like that. Her wanting to coddle him, David wanting to prove himself. Back and forth the two of them pushing and pulling, changing each other into the perfect partner in a co-dependent mess.
