capeandcowllogs | The mate to a key and lips to a secret.

WHO: SKRULLOCK HOLMES, TONY STARK, EDWARD NYGMA, NORMAN OSBORN, DR. JOHN ZOIDBERG and YOU!
WHERE: The Quarantine Room.
WHEN: February 22nd (evening) to February 24th (afternoon).
WARNINGS: None necessarily? Bickering doesn't merit a warning.
SUMMARY: Skrulls in the dungeon. Well, one anyway.
FORMAT: I'll introduce the setting in paragraph, but you choose what format you prefer.

The area for the quarantined is spacious and clean. Although technically under police custody, the room is established in a large auditorium of City Hall. There are five walled 'dividers' that offer the quarantined the semblance of privacy. Never mind that every inch of the room is taped on camera -- cameras that Mitchell Hundred can control with a word. Never mind that there are armed guards on the other wise of each exit. Never mind that the communicators of the quarantined have been disabled from encryption capabilities.

They were allowed a bed. Access to any bathroom was to be monitored. Meals would be provided. They were handcuffed but not leglocked. If any of the number disagreed with their situation, heavier imprisonment was negotiable.

The quarantined were to be questioned by those in authority, or those who were experts on Skrull detection. Or those who thought they were.

[ Felicia narrows her eyes at him when she walks in, dressed in casual civilian-wear. ]

So was it you, then, that made me get that skrull toe?

[He just smiles so wide, slipping into Sherlock's face.]

Hi, Felicia.

What did you do with it?

[He pinched his fingers together, raised his hand to his face, opened his mouth, and then made a gesture as if he threw something inside and ate it.]

[ She makes a face at him. ]

Is that how you treat all your fallen comrades, or just the lucky ones?

[His face twitched at fallen comrade but he smothered the instinct to say something biting and keep to the sarcasm.]

I didn't actually eat it.

jeez. humans are so literal.

I just got rid of it.

[ Gosh she knows nothing about you skrulls, okay. ]

What a waste. To think I didn't even charge you a retrieval fee.

I'll give you a kiss, if that'd be enough payment.

I think Edward might get jealous. [ She tilts her head. ] And I only trade in currency. I'm sure plenty of your other visitors would accept the offer.

Pity, I don't have anything else on me.

[He smiled.]

Edward's having just as much fun as me, I imagine.

Funny things about these impromptu walls, you know, I can hear you.

[Says a voice form beyond.]

[In Felicia's voice:]

Don't worry, Baby, I'll come stroke your ego in a minute.

[OH GOD SO OFFENDED. He pauses for a moment, fingers clawing at the divider.]

You've got her voice, but I think the lines need some editing.

[Felicia never strokes his ego like Skrullock would.]

[Still in her voice:]

Have you been a bad boy, Eddie? Do you need to be locked up and punished?

[The snarl from Eddie's mouth was brutal. Unrestrained. Animalistic.]

I'm almost disappointed they didn't kill you. You'll serve us better alive, of course, you'll be a pretty little tactical resource. But still. We all have feelings on the matter, don't we?

[And now it's Eddie's voice through the wall, just as aggressive:]

Get within a foot of me and I promise I'll give them more than enough reason to put me down.

Really. [His voice dropped, as he hissed.] You're so loyal to your dominating cause, it's nearly admirable. Loyal in a similar sense that you're loyal to Doctor Watson. Kind, understanding Doctor Watson.

I wonder, what would happen when your agendas inevitably clash?

[He growled. It wasn't a human sound. But when he spoke again it was with Sherlock's voice.]

He's a soldier. He'll deal with it.

What's that supposed to mean?

[He just smiles.]

Why don't you ask him.

Why should I do that?

He's here for a reason, same as I am.

I wouldn't say it's the same. You're the one from space.

And he's here because no one trusts him. Maybe he's just a coward who didn't want to fight before being dragged in here.

Then I wonder what his name would be.
