Mess with the Lady, get the Laser

Hi! My name is Cass and this is my first time entering the contest. Thank you for the opportunity and I hope you enjoy the short piece I made. It came after realizing that my initial plans were too big for a first-timer, scrapping that idea for a smaller idea, scrapping that idea for an even smaller idea, and settling on something I could finish before the deadline. Done is better than perfect!
