Cyborg back to form. But to what extent? Will she be ready for the elite in this tournament? Time will tell.

lol Meisha obviously wasn't ready.

[The Sandmen]

No, she was not. I really need to start working on her.

If someone will give me something reasonable and PROMISE not to neglect her, I would consider a trade. I still love her, so it's hard (pun intended).

[Ferocity]

ew. and I don't think Cyborg will maintain, but we will see.
