spam } horatio

[When Cassel picks the lock on Horatio's door and slides inside, silent as a cat in the dark, he finds the man asleep in a hammock hanging gently above creaky floorboards. For a moment he regards him in the dim light coming from the hallway, considering all of his options. He could easily turn Horatio into something unspeakably vile as punishment. It might even be right.]

[Instead, he pulls a black silk cloth out of his pocket and, leaning up on his tiptoes, ties it around Horatio's eyes and behind his head. Then he sits in the corner of the room, legs crossed and eyes half-open, waiting for the man with his naked hands to wake up.]

I need your help with something. Or someone, I guess.

What do you do for blowback? I have some techniques that I used on my mom, but - you probably have better ones. She never really tried to control it.

private } needy

[In between all of this, he's almost surprised by the arrival of Needy's file. He's still a warden here. Even though Czeslaw's gone, he gets another chance.]

[As he reads it, a smile grows on his face. Nothing he's reading is good, but it's not - foreign, either, even when it technically is. He doesn't feel lost. He feels - intrigued.]

[He's still half-smiling when he opens the feed, cocking his head at her through the connection.]


So. You pissed?

open spam } gardens

[He sits under a tree, making statues.]

[Maybe this will frighten people, now that they have some context: he's got his gloves off, folded carefully at his side. There is scrap metal - soda cans and piles of paper clips - by his knee. This he uses to build his statues, long, thin, somewhat overwrought looking things, melded and twisted by his transformation into something vaguely human.]

[Occasionally he pauses and takes a sip of the open mug of steaming coffee at his other knee. Then he goes back to building ugliness.]

My family used to run New York. I can get a spot on a truck, easy.

[She shrugs, tight and awkward.]

Dunno. Guess I pictured another know-it-all adult, being all cold and clinical and bossy while they tried to tell me what to do.

...I know they were.

[But she looks suprised, to hear him say it. Without her face screwed up with anger and nerves anymore, two tears silently fall, trailing down her cheeks.]

I couldn't let them get away with it, Cassel. Somebody had to make them pay. For Jennifer. For everyone. It might as well have been me.

[Elena's quiet while she thinks of where she could put it in her room.]

I think I'll put it where my diary goes. [She picks it back up.] It'd make a nice guard, don't you think?

[Elena makes a face, turning the little statue to face Cassel and wiggling it a little before laughing and setting it back down.]

I'm not... [She swallows.] I d-don't...know.

[She closes her eyes and lifts her chin, like she's trying to be proud, be angry. But all she does is sniff hard as she tries to catch her breath again and keep the tears from getting any worse.]

I don't regret what I did. I don't see what else I could have done. By then.

But it still feels somehow...like I made a mistake. Like my whole life went wrong. Demons and death and fire and murder. This wasn't supposed to be my life.

[Briefly her expression turns into a glare as she looks at him, her jaw set. If killing Low Shoulder was wrong, she doesn't want to hear about it. Why does it always have to be her that turns the other cheek?

But if they're going to argue about it, she doesn't want to do it right now.

So then why am I the one who's being punished for it? Why am I here?

I've been trying not to scared. Not anymore, not ever again. Sometimes it works.

[But a lot of the time, if she succeeds, it's only because she doesn't have anything to live for anymore. It doesn't matter if she lives or dies.

Maybe that's why the idea of having a purpose, having a plan, bothers her. Because it might mean she'll have to be afraid all over again.

...Who was your warden? Are they still here?

[A lot of what he says, well it makes sense and it doesn't. She's reserving judgement, for now. And not going to comment on it straightaway either.]
notsoneedy: (you)

Christ.

[Just another passing comment on the Barge being the Barge. She's dead and she's in space and she's being mentored by a wizard who was mentored by Superboy. Because sure. Sure. Why not, sure.]

Is that what's supposed to happen to everyone though? You do your time, you give shit back, and then you just...move on? To something brighter and shinier?

Because I have to tell you. Right now, I don't see that ever happening to me.

I don't know if I'm ever going to leave either.

[Her voice is softer when she says this. Hollow. And a little far away.]

I don't like being a prisoner, feeling like I'm stuck here. And I don't think I'd ever want to be a warden. But I can't think of anything that I'm missing out on back there, that I want to return to.
notsoneedy: (yeah i'll love you forever)

I'm not used to...thinking that far ahead. Having options. Feeling like I have a future, I guess.

[She's known in her heart that that's been true, for awhile. But it's still scary as hell, saying it out loud. Making it real.]

I don't know when that happened, exactly. It just did.
