If Mia Fey were "evil"? (Corrupted AU Part 2)

[u/TheRiverian31]

Previous Part:

Phoenix Wright.

It's not that hard for Mia to become corrupted. Throughout her career, she's had two formidable enemies: Dahlia and Redd White. She tried to defeat them by the good way, but couldn't (*she couldn't defeat Dahlia on the first try.)

So, in her desperation, and with Diego Armando in a coma, she loses patience and decides to put an end to the red-haired witch in "dirty" ways. Let's just say that at Phoenix Wright's trial, she does everything possible to expose her, forging a single piece of evidence. She does it so well that no one notices the forgery.

Dahlia is defeated just as the canon, but not as cleanly as Mia would have liked. According to Mia, the world is a better place without people like her... but what if she applied the same logic to Redd White? And much more brutally?

Based on a What-If video, Mia hires the infamous Shelly De Killer to eliminate the president of Bluecorp, and thanks to her assassin's efficiency, no one suspects her.

Now Mia has escaped death and has a firm and an employee up and running. But even though she doesn't want it, she's "dirty" for life. Both as a lawyer and as a person (she even wonders what Mystic Ami would think about her).

But she doesn't really care about her own morality now, because her next objective is to find her mother, no matter what she has to do to get her back.

I'll leave it at that, wondering what Phoenix and Maya will think of her when they find out the truth? Would Maya dare to report her sister's crimes even if it meant ruining her career and sending her to jail?

But what do you think? How would you corrupt Mia Fey?

[u/Hotel-Japanifornia]

I think if Mia were to have done something like hired De Killer to kill Redd, or even did it herself, Maya would have helped cover it up. Like in a “I’ll bring the shovel” sort of way.

I know that doesn’t sound like the Maya we know but this is her sister we’re talking about. Plus, Mia did tell her sister the name, or last name anyway, of the man who ruined their mother’s life. 

[u/GellThePyro → u/Hotel-Japanifornia]

Yeah, the one to look out for is Phoenix. Not Maya.

[u/AceArion2112 → u/Hotel-Japanifornia]

I think that sounds exactly like the Maya we know. In fact she says she'll go out and buy a hacksaw if you, in 1-2, ask her to help you break out of prison and nick isn't nearly as close to her as her sister.

[u/Nitro_Indigo → u/AceArion2112]

Now I'm picturing Maya whacking Redd White with a steel pipe.

[u/Cheetah-shooter]

So this AU is like if Phoenix had his own Kristoph Gavin like Apollo? Interesting.

[u/thekyledavid → u/Cheetah-shooter]

I feel like this is different. Kristoph was only interested in whatever was good for himself, whereas Mia would be putting her own interests to the side to do what she believes is best for society, kind of like a Dexter Morgan adjacent character
