Loved Miss Metrobay's hulking out and was cool but the sex with the cop was a turn-off. I expected her and the Mayor to do something. Not a random guy she came across.
I agree with the above posts. Ms. Metrobay should have kicked some Tinker ass.

Tinker is far from my favorite villain, and I totally agree that Belinda and Gothikka have this dark sort of eroticism about them I find fascinating. I mean, Belinda's a modestly-sized, skunk-haired bitch, and yet I find her to be one of the most beautiful women in Metrobay due to her dynamic personality, unique look, and sexy quirks.
But Tinker serves a different sort of role in my opinion. Reading her wiki, she's psychologically messed up and drawn to freaks and mutants and abnormalities. She gets turned on by "tinkering" with other human beings, and the more alien and freakish she makes them, the more interested in them she becomes. The fact her husband is a genetic freak of nature plays into her weird desires, and she did the same thing in the Musk of Mynx storyline. I think there's a lot of potential to be found in that.
And, I guess as an older reader, I'm more than okay with Ms. Metrobay not having sex with the Mayor... again. They've done that multiple times now already, including this very story in earlier chapters. We've already seen those two in action. The "random guy" is Officer Mick, a frequent presence in dozens of stories at this point who is pretty much known for being in the wrong place at the wrong time (or right place at the right time, depending on your perspective). I think it was awesome seeing Ms. Metrobay go wild on him, because, for starters, she's into men, not women, so it wouldn't have made sense for her to go after the Mayor, and secondly, we got to see his reaction to this wild, untamed sex beast, while the Mayor's mind control probably would have limited her reaction, shock, and unwillingness to reciprocate her advances.
That said, like many have stated, I think Tinker's far from finished at this point. No way she can do something like that and now either deal with the consequences or try and one-up her prior endeavor. And I'm curious to see if "Ms. MetroFreak" might make any more appearances.
Also, if I was Mick, I would NOT replace that baton. I'd mount that thing on the wall and build a shrine around it.
