[IC] Purgatory

[gowia]

Jack laughed now. Okay, this girl may be slightly insufferable but she did make him smile. He respected cheek.

"Let me make two things clear. Firstly, I am nobody's Daddy. Secondly, you can take that forty odd and shove it where the sun don't shine. I'm in my twenties, sure that's older than this little club of junior offenders you have, but I ain't old. Besides, if it isn't father issues you have. It's gotta be mother issues, lemme get a good look at you..."

Jack leant forward and inspected the girl's face intently. He recognised some of the features.

"...I'm thinking Catwoman. You have her eyes. Well, that is certainly not the most caring of mum's, I must say."

[WizardGirl]

Lily tried to ignore the man, until he says a real man would stick it out. "Why? Its not like he could ever get a woman. He is more repulsive then the food." Lily says to Thorn before turning her head to the man, "Perhaps he would enjoy some of my pheromones or maybe something a little stronger?" Lily smiles as her hands seems to darken. "I dislike men...but men who think they better? They get my personal touch..."

[thornblackwell]

Thorn grins and nods her head at Lily. "Someone touchy about their age! Something stronger is always better!" She sneers at the man. "Catwoman is nothing but a burden. Her morals are pointless and she's more like a thug than a Villan to me."

[gowia]

"Well wouldn't you be touchy about your age if you were surrounded by a cast from Disney? I mean really...is there nobody over the age of twenty here?"

As the other girl joined the conversation Jack sighed deeply. Diehard feminist.

"Sorry hun, but no gender is better or worse in this place we all call home. Some men are dicks, so are some women. If you want to hate on all men then you are going to have a long road ahead of you, considering we make up half the world. What gives you any right to judge someone based on their gender?"

Turning back to the litter of Catwoman, Jack addressed the first of the two.

"In regards to your clearly estranged mother, I don't actually know her. So I will just take your word on that. Now...can I get your name? I promise you can have mine."

Jack grinned now and offered his hand. He was a gent after all.

[thornblackwell]

Thorn ignores his hand and smirks. "The name is Black Cat, or Scarlet Paradise. Pick one, oldie. In denial and a green-eyed monster of our youth seems problematic, Daddy"

[WizardGirl]

Lily looks at the man and chuckles, "My mother would have killed you by now. Women are far superior. We bear children and have maternal instincts. Where as you do not, instead you deliver some fertilizer." As she talks, her hand slowly moves towards Jack's, her toxins pumping through her veins and into her hands, where they get absorbed into her hands.

[gowia]

Jack sat back and thought for a second, moving his hand away. Just out of reach of the other girl whose name he doesn't know.

"I think I will go with...Cat...short, simple and the name of my pet cat when I was a kid. My name's Jack, of course you can just keep calling me Daddy, I honestly don't care."

Jack smiled again before continuing.

"Your mother may have killed me by now...or she may have let me live. Considering you are here she can't hate men that much. And men can have paternal instincts, just as many kids are raised by single hard working fathers because their mother pisses off. Oh...if the child grows from the woman then surely she is the fertiliser? Thats how flowers grow after all. That means men give the seed in this situation."

Jack gave a coy smile that he knew bugged people. He wasn't sure how far he should push this girl, but there was only one way to find out.

[WizardGirl]

Before Lily can even move to try and touch the guy, he rmetal bracelets light up dark red and click, the magnets inside of them pulling her hands together. The doors to the canteen open up and armed guards with masks walk over to her, "Dr. Strange wants a word with you..." One of them says before roughly grabbing her arms. The guards proceed to walk her out of the room and towards the interrogation room.

[thornblackwell]

Thorn watches started and not wanting to get involved, but curious as to what would happen. She looks at Jack and winks before going after Lily.

[gowia]

Jack jumped a little as the action unfolds. He hadn't expected it at all and looked around as the burly guards dragged the nameless one off. AS Cat jumped up as well Jack smiled at her wink. Standing he went to follow the two he had been speaking to and then took a double take. He had just arrived, did he really want to follow them? Screw it. Jack quickly caught up with Cat and walked beside her as she followed her friend.

"How long have you been here? I didn't expect them to start grabbing people during their meals."

[thornblackwell]

Thorn ponders and purrs slightly. "About an hour or so, two hours maybe...I wouldn't feed that slop to a rat." She sneers at meer thought of what the lunch ladies eat. They wouldn't eat that gruel. They probably eat Burger King.

[gowia]

Jack tipped his head slightly. This girl had only been here for a couple of hours. It seemed like nobody had been here very long, but Jack didn't think the facility was that new.

"Just quickly, what did your friend do? Why are we following her? These guys don't exactly look like they want guests. Oh, and what the hell is her deal with men?"

[thornblackwell]

Thorn smirks at Jack. "She is just my cell mate, I haven't known her long enough to answer any of those questions." She begins to skip ahead and performs a cartwheel, heading towards the interrogation room.

[WizardGirl]

As they arrive at the room, one of the guards swipes his keycard on the door while two of his partners push me inside. Lily turns and watch as they close the door, leaving her in the room alone...until Hugo Strange walks in through another door. "Hello Ms. Isley, we need to speak." He says before pressing on of the buttons on his remote, activating some sort of sound proofing.

A couple minutes later, the door opens and she steps out, she walks over to Thorn and grins, hugging her and slipping something into her hand before turning around as the guards lead her to cells. She turns her head and winks at Thorn, hoping she won't mess with the item, which looks like just a blank credit card.

[thornblackwell]

Thorn raises a brow and holds the item softly. She watches Lily disappear and begins to walk back to the Canteen.

[gowia]

Jack had stopped following when his new friend had performed her cartwheel. Instead he had sat down on an empty table and hummed to himself. He wanted to know what was going on, however he wasn't sure if chasing after a woman who hates men would be smart. As he waited he saw the more vocal acquaintance walking back in,

"How was that Miis Cat? Any more information, or do you still know nothing of this friend of yours? For some reason she is interesting, only if I want to find out why she wants to kill me."

[thornblackwell]

Thorn stops near Jack. " not a single clue. It was a waste of time, she was taken back to our cell. But as the Daddy, you can help this kitten!" She smirks and heads back towards the canteen with Jack.

[gowia]

Jack raised a single eyebrow at the mention of his helping. Sighing he stood and followed the girl back into the heart of the canteen. Jack normally needed convincing to help himself, what did this girl think he would do for her? Staying just a step behind he spoke to Cat.

"And how, exactly, do you think I will be helping you? Last time I checked you poured your meal over me. And that wasn't nice. Unlike your real daddy, you're gunna have to make up for that little infraction before I help with anything at all."

[thornblackwell]

Thorn purrs while turning to face him. Her storm grey eyes wash over him and she sneers. "What do you expect me to do? Pleasure you? Beg for your forgiveness? Did you expect me to be a good little girl in a big scary prison? That before was me being nice. I could of stabbed you, but why should I ruin my first day because of an old wrinkly man like you?" Her sneer forms into a smirk. "Now, Daddy. We are going to decide which milk is good enough for me to bring back to my cell. I'm not very tall and only a kitten. Daddy will do a much better job at finding a good one than me!"

[gowia]

Jack scoffed at her words. Who did she think he was? Some small time bandit who would do anything for a chance at getting his rocks off. No.

"I dont want an apology or whatever 'pleasure' you are offering. You're an amusing girl who I happen to like. Problem is my age, which you seem obsessed with, means I've done this before. I don't give a shit what you call me or what you wanna do. You show me respect, then we're fine. And I don't mean get down and kiss my ring, or say please and thank you. I mean you realise that you aren't the biggest fish in this sea. You realise that, and we're fine. I'm nobodies bitch, but I also know that you don't survive long without at least one friend. You look quick on your feet and make me laugh, don't treat me like a sucker who will do everything you say. So you are gunna explain exactly what 'milk' you want. Cus right now, I don't see any milk and I'm done following blindly."

Jack crossed his arms over his chest and raised one eybrow quizically at the girl.
