[log] she's not breathing back

[autophoenix]

[ She's not sure which is worse: the indignity of spending three days strapped to a table, mostly naked, while "Rudy Cooper" -- if that was even his name -- figured out which limb to test next, or actually having to deal with the constant regeneration. It had been hard on her body and it showed in the sweating and shakes and the general strung-out

[ Once he'd shown up at Nate's, it had only taken them another minute to decide on going to Rudy's as soon as humanely possible. There was no way that Peter was going to let Claire stay with this psycho any longer, and they were going to get her out, doing whatever they had to.

...not that they really had some amazingly great master plan or anything. It was sort of hard to devise one when they had no idea what they were getting themselves in to. But they were going to get Claire, that they knew. ]

[Nate wasn't really much of one for master plans either. To be honest, a lot of his best work involved improvisation... and a bit of luck, of course.

But he's taken to pacing the flat, opting for good old walking rather than levitation at this point. Besides, he needed to keep his psionic energy usage to a minimum, especially if they were going to teleport back to Miami.]

[ Considering they both seemed to be of the... brooding sort, there wasn't exactly a whole lot of talking going on. But Peter knew that if he didn't say something, they really weren't going to get anywhere apart from pacing holes into Nate's floor. ]

So are we just going to barge in there? Guns blazing? I dunno if this guy's even got any abilities.

I'mma just comment down the page instead of threaded, BUT WE CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT idc

[She's still on the table, and he's leaning over her, taking what constitutes as a break for him. He's exceptionally neat and has just finished cleaning his tools and pried off his gloves.]

I can hurt you fine, I just can't kill you. [There's a slight grimace to his expression; while he's trying to keep his cavalier, unaffected attitude up, the truth is that Dexter telling him he'd killed him in the past was taking its toll. Brian was more than a little on edge.]

Which, let me tell you, is something of a downer. It's like leaving without dessert - the kill is the best part.

/threads here until herocrew thread gets set up and jumps in with an ~entrance~ maybe? o3o; idk

You're wasting your time. [ She struggles at the bonds some more because she hasn't given up on trying to get out of them.

Her teeth are gritted and if it weren't for the fact that she'd learned long ago to opt for the more unhealthy avenue in rage rather than crisis anxiety, she'd probably be looking a lot more strung out than she already was. It didn't matter that it didn't hurt, it was the psychological fact of being literally trapped and helpless. ]

What part of you can't hurt me don't you get? You're not exactly the first person to try, you psycho. So just stop trying and let me go so I can kill you.

yeah whenever the rescue train wants to hop on, feel free to interrupt \o/

Do you try to reason with all your psycho kidnappers? Statistically, that doesn't usually end very well. [Despite his words, he sounds faintly bored.] At least not for my victims.

You keep at it, Claire. Act tough. This has to be getting to you.

[autophoenix]

[ Smarm is a safe defense, so instead of honesty, Brian gets more sneering. ] All my other psycho kidnappers tend to shoot for the proposal instead of taking my clothes. But, gee, Rudy, this'll really teach me to take Sylar's chivalry for granted.
