I do suppose you have a point, but if Priss is going to die by the end of
this, I doubt it will be without getting another shot at the Joker.  In fact,
if Rod DOES kill of Priss, (Forgive me for speculating about this in your
presence ROD) It wll probobly be in a very large explosive fight that's the
climax of the story, as she sacrifices herself to kill off the J-Boomer.

The simple fact is that there are still some fanfic conventions associated
with Bgc, just fewer of them than with other serieses...  one of those is that
the KS DO win somehow, even if it does take the sacrifice of one of their
memebers to achieve that.  And seeing as how Linna and Nene have pretty much
fought Joker to a standstill, it becomes obvious that they will need their
compatriots to have the chance at finishing the Job.  Which says to me that
their gonna rescue Priss and break her out of whatever it is Joker is using to
control her, resulting in a Priss waiting for her next chance at the Joker,
with her hardsuit, and with a clip of PO'd that makes her rage when she went
after Largo look like a child's temper tantrum.

The problem is that the Sabers _can't_ win.  At least, not by
themselves.

A major convention of KS fics may be that the Sabers will always win out
in the end.  However, an equally strong convention of Batman fics is
that only Batman can beat the Joker.

So unless Priss puts on a Bat suit...
