[Sara fixes an eye on the camera. She's about 12/13, but an early bloomer, and she looks mad as hell.]

Wasn't once enough? I'm not gonna do this again. I'm not going to hold still for another two months so you can do whatever the fuck you want to me again. I'm not gonna let you, you can kill me first. Or I'll kill you.

[She sounds determined, but she doesn't actually know what happened to her the first time she was abducted, only that it hurt. She's actually kind of terrified that she might remember it this time around.]

And all these little kids? What the hell is wrong with you people? All this cozy babysitting shit doesn't change the fact that we're prisoners. Let them go.

Any of you lay a hand on any of them and I'm breaking it the fuck off.

[Open Spam]

[After pretty much trashing the room she woke up in, Sara's found two things of interest: an NYPD badge - not her dad's, the number's wrong - and a .357 revolver. She's not a great shot, but she knows her way around a gun, and she manages to get it loaded and tucked in the back of her jeans. One of the shirts she found in the closet, unbuttoned, more or less hides it from casual inspection.

You can find her prowling the halls, watching out for adult malfeasance and looking like she doesn't need much more than an excuse.]

[OOC: Multithreads much encouraged. Prior warning for the likelihood of violence; Sara is a fighty angry mess at this stage of her life and won't hesitate to pull a gun on an adult or anyone claiming to have a degree of control over the situation. I am fine with/kind of expect her ending up in Zero. PP or PM me for any plot queries!]

Like the comic books?

[What the fuuuuck.]

[~~Dick~~ ROBIN just looks confused.]

What comic books?

[And he is...well okay not so slowly making his way up.]

You have a really filthy mouth, you know that?

Oooh. You must be a lifer.

[ Cause he's only heard that language out of the long term hardcore people back home. ]

You're pretending to be Robin and you've never read a Batman comic?

I'm not pretending to be Robin, I am Robin. I didn't know they were making Batman comics. The newspaper doesn't even know what he really looks like.

God, I hope not.

I'm sorry, okay, blue kid. I'm just - really mad at these guys. You're not hanging out with any of them, are you?

[Level 5 showdown?]

I care so very fucking much about your opinion.

Nu-uh. I'm in my room. I got a puppy.

[ There's an eight-week-old doberman puppy right there, chewing a toy in Megamind's skinny lap, chewing on a Kong toy and drooling all over Megamind's orange prison jumpsuit. ]

Minion's gone, but-- they say that's important.

You're by yourself? That's good. Any grown-ups come looking for you, they wanna take you anywhere, just grab your thing and yell for me, okay? My name's Sara. What's yours?

People just call me Blue.

[ Names are for humans. He gets a descriptor. ]

My warden said he'd come by to get me. W--why should I yell for you?

[Official opinion: you are the outcome of some sinister mind-moulding experiment.]

Okay, okay, 'Robin'. Don't suppose they gave you your - I dunno, Robinarangs?

[Not that far from the truth. B(]

I have my utility belt with me, yeah. Why?

Those people suck. You should have a name.

[She assumes you had a name before they made you blue. That's just...shitty.]

Look, I don't want you to be scared, okay? But these grown-ups might not be as nice as they want us to think they are.

[ No, he never had a name. Which might be worse, okay. ]

Blue's... not a name? I mean, it's-- what they call me.

[ His brows furrow, and he gets a bit confused. ]

The wardens are good guys. That doesn't mean they're nice. Just that they're good guys. Lawmen.

Any of the guys who say they know what's going on try to get near you, get away from them. Do whatever it takes.

[Though you're pretty much a lost cause, evidently, you aren't even wearing pants.]

Why? What do you think is going to happen?

These are bad guys, okay, Blue? It doesn't matter what they call themselves or what they say. They might be nice to you but they're not good.

No, no. We're bad guys. I'm a bad guy. That's why I'm in a prison. [ ...and he totally believes that. ] Good is really hard. Most people can't be good.

Like I said. You don't want to know.

Yeah, I do. I want to help people and keep them safe. It's my job. And I can't do that if you don't tell me what's going on.

You're right. Good is really hard. But we can be good, okay? We can all be good and not let the bad guys get us. You want to be a good guy, right?

The last time they took me -

[Some of her anger peels back and there's a lot of fear and pain underneath.]

They tied me to a chair. It was dark, mostly. They did some stuff, it - hurt. They had these instruments, like pliers -

[And yeah she's not saying anything else to you, crazy strange boy.]

If I'm good they'll let me go to shool and the kids will like me... right?

[ SAY YES SARA AND HE WILL FOLLOW YOU INTO HELL. ]

[Oh boy. He's been on the job for a couple years now, and he thinks sometimes Bruce makes him stay home when he's dealing with cases like this, but she's still not the first person he's ever talked to who's been through something terrible like that.

It sort of feels like being reassuring might work better in person, but she'd also threatened to take off someone's hand earlier so maybe it's best there's some distance here. :V]

Sara, that isn't going to happen here, I promise. Whoever did that didn't do it this time.
