[Shego has been de-greened for the purposes of fitting in, but I was failing at Photoshop so uh use your imaginations. For the benefit of the Static Squad downstairs, she's using visual aids! She holds up a small notecard - probably half of her invitation - with the words 'BANNER: DEAD Y/N?' written on it.]

Banner, give me some indication that you're alive. If I end up having to drag your Item and your corpse back to the Barge I will, but I can at least deprioritise that while I'm dealing with people I dislike a little less.

[Another notecard. 'WARDENS: WHO'S WITH YOU?']

If anybody using the downstairs accommodation has been warding off the crazy long enough to let us know who's in earshot or sharing your dungeon, it'd be much appreciated. Speak slowly and repeat yourselves.

[Private to Sylar]

If finding Tim isn't the first thing on your agenda then never mind shooting you, I am going to go for the much more satisfying option of beating you to death with my gun. Have I made myself clear?

[Wonderful idea, those aids. Uhura just uses audio for the moment, though.]

Shego. It's Uhura --down here. Harper-- beside--. I think he's hurt.

What happened to Harper?

Rex? --stuck in ---- not moving now.

He's alive--

Well, at least there's that. [REX IS KINDA SORTA CONCERNED but he doesn't wanna show it, so he just leaves it on that note. Goin' on a search for you jerks now.]

--Molly Ca-- [static] Ned is with m--

[statics out]

[Bruce... Looks like hell vaguely warmed over. Also twitchier than normal, if you can believe it.]

N-no, I'm. Sti-[Static!]-iece. Mainly. I mean. ...Y-[MORE STATIC!]-rry.

If that last word was 'sorry' then I swear to everything holy I am going to find you and kick your -

[HNNNGH.]

Never mind. Two questions. Firstly, if there's anybody near you, anybody's voices you've heard, you need to tell me. Secondly, what is your Item? We can't get out of here without it.

[She pauses, holds up the WARDENS card again for ten seconds, then makes another one saying 'ITEM?' and holds that up too.]

[Judging from how he winces and the fact that it's Bruce? Yeah. It was, Shego. But he reads the cards and nods a few times.]

S- Right. Uh, w--[STATIC!]--ere's some voices, ho--[AGAIN STATIC!]--on. Er... Gab--[A pony! ...No, it's static. 8(]--geant Howie, I think. Cissie too. Does t--[Itsy static.]--lp?

Oh, that's, it's--[]--st monitor, uh. Like a watch? [He points to his wrist, in case that didn't come through.]

It will help. The more I know about where you are, the quicker I'll find you. Just...hang tight, do whatever it is you do, I'm gonna go find your lame watch thing and then you're next.

Ah, ok--[S!]--n. Should I m--[T!]--e noise?

...Thank y--[A!]--ego. Be c--[TIC!]--eful.

I'm surprised. I didn't think Tim was your type.

Can we perhaps save your whole 'it's strange and hilarious to me how other human beings can see each other as something other than convenient tools' thing until we're back on the Barge?

You're going to find him. Yes or no?

Why should I tell you if you're going to treat me like a monster anyway?

...

You know something, Gabriel? This is exactly your problem. This, in a nutshell, is why you're gonna be on the Barge forever. You keep looking for somebody to give you a second chance, you keep wanting people to trust you so that you can change, but for however smart you think you are you've completely failed to grasp the concept of meeting people halfway.

Newsflash: You are a monster, sport. You kill people because they have shiny powers and you want them. It's the equivalent of a crack addict killing old ladies for their small change. You don't just get the luxury of people being nice to you - especially not people you've murdered, just in case you forgot - no no no, it's something you have to earn.

Case in point. You did not have to respond with a crack about whatever my type is. You could have just said that yeah, you were going to find him. Then you would have had the moral high ground, I would have been pleasantly surprised by your willingness to take an interest in somebody else's welfare, and maybe next time I talk to you we could have had a halfway civilized conversation. You see how it works? And if you think all that amounts to taking it like a bitch then frankly you're not wrong, but it's all part of the healing process.

Go ahead, roll your eyes or smirk or tell me how I just don't understand like it'll make me any less right.

It was an honest question. I don't want your forgiveness. Just because you've developed feelings for my warden doesn't mean that I should suddenly start liking you, that I should forgive you for what you've said or try to make amends.

You know nothing about me. You don't know where I started, where I am. How I've changed. I don't care to enlighten you.

You asked me a question and expected an answer. I don't owe you anything for killing you except an apology. In that regard: I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I killed you, that I took your life to prove a point to someone else.

Next time, perhaps you'll know better than to ask.

Blah blah blah. I've got a Warden to go drag out of a cell somewhere. Maybe two. Later.

You aren't even listening. Why should I try when the efforts I make are ignored?

Because that 'effort' was spent pointing out how you don't like me, and that you've got no interest in communicating with me, and the whole thing was underlined with the implication that I'm a moron for even bothering to engage with you. In which case, fine. Consider the feeling mutual. Now stop whining and either do something constructive or stay out of the way.

I said I don't owe you anything, that a change in your attitude didn't mean a change in mine. I'm trying. I apologized. I don't.. I don't know what to say.

Of course I'm going to find Tim. He's my warden. I ~~care about~~ respect him.
