Please, do not feed the animals.

"If you don't stop gawking, I'm going to come in there and give you something to gawk at," Quinn threatened at Diziara. Diziara grinned wider, and Quinn growled. Meanwhile in the back of the holding cell, Spiegel and Noelle were working quickly on a little device pieced together by tools and parts snuck out of Spiegel's pockets.

"Ever since you toDSaH dumped us into this rusting box that is masquerading as a holding cell, you've been threatening to do this and that, but you're yet to lay a hand on me. Why don't you take down this force field and face me like a man, or better yet, face me like a warrior!" As she issued this challenge, she slammed her fists into the force field. Quinn stepped back involuntarily, and Noelle looked up from her project. Spiegel ignored the whole spectacle, and kept working. "Well? Are you all talk...?" Diziara ribbed, flicking her finger at the force field again to set it off. Quinn tried not to flinch, and she bared her teeth at him in something that would only be called a smile in a nightmare.

"Since you clearly enjoy pain so much..." he finally said, squaring his shoulders and looking her in the eye, "I have no choice but to give you some." His large hand hit the panel to bring down the force field just as Maddie and a couple brutes walked in the door. Diziara made eye contact with the small woman for a moment before darting forward and treating Quinn to a solid right cross. A small hand gesture from Maddie had the brutes leaving her side, and catching Diziara by either arm.

"Quite an entertaining show you put on," Maddie said, approaching Diziara. Spiegel and Noelle glanced up, then all the bits they were working with were quickly shoved into Spiegel's pockets. "Just like a wild animal in a side show. Does this mean you expect a treat of a raw steak for your performance?" Not waiting for a response from Diziara, she moved past her towards Spiegel and Noelle. "You really should have just talked to me, now I'm going to have to extract the information I need. Why don't we start with you?" She pointed to Spiegel as Quinn licked the blood out of the corner of his mouth.

"If you so much as touch him, I will kill you," Diziara snapped, making eye contact with Quinn, and he hesitated before he moved forward to grab Spiegel. "You don't even have to touch him; if anything happens to him, I'll hold you personally responsible," Diziara added, clearly speaking to Maddie as she yanked at the grip on her arms, and turned herself around to face Maddie, dragging the pair of brutes behind her.

"A hollow threat from the sideshow freak," Maddie all but yawned. Diziara pulled free of the grip the two brutes had on her, and moved to close the space between her and Maddie. Maddie pulled a disruptor out and leveled it at Diziara. "You aren't in the position to be making threats, I could kill you where you stand." At this, Diziara grinned.

"You don't seem to understand how this works. When I say I'll kill you, I know it's not going to be right now, it'll be later, when things have swung back around into my favor. You'll die a painful, and maybe even slow, death, and my grinning face will be the last thing you see. You may get whatever information you think you need, but it'll come at a price that I will collect by force, like an exotic red-headed angel of death," Diziara explained, looking down at Maddie across the disruptor that was aimed at her. Maddie was silent a minute as she pondered this.

"We'll start with you," Maddie finally said, nodding towards Noelle. The brutes didn't hesitate before turning their focus to Noelle.

"You think taking her instead is going to save you?" Diziara growled, and Maddie smirked at Diziara. The pair of brutes grabbed Noelle and yanked her roughly to her feet.

"Clearly you're closer with him than her, and besides, you know I won't be too terrible to her. She is me, after all," Maddie explained. "Quinn, be a dear and teach this mixed up waste of skin a lesson before securing her in her cell again." With that, Maddie marched away, brutes manhandling Noelle to follow, and Quinn grinning happily as he cracked his knuckles.
