Helpisewatchedthis almost pathetic display. It was clear that their interrogators were trying not to touch them. Did that mean they were afraid of them? Heloise just smiled, sweetly, and leaned forward, [color=f6989d]"I'm Hell"[/color] she said, technically just shortening her name. So not lying. [color=f6989d]"As in I am going to make your life a living hell. People lie all the time, especially families. And frankly, if I'm getting another family id like to choose it this time, and oh look, you aren't on the list, Mako"[/color] names, even code names, had power. She would use it. But she wouldn't give this man any respect. 

She didn't care if she was just making things worse for herself. If they were focused on her, then they weren't focused on anyone else. And right now, that was all that mattered to Heloise, guilt filling her as she wondered if them being captured was her fault. She had probably messed up the dagger throw. But she should have just kept her mouth shut, let Jericho have his way. Reason, logic told her they'd probably still have ended up here, but that didn't take away her guilt. 

Heloise was familiar with interrogation techniques. Plunging them into darkness had been an attempt to put then ill at ease. Yet it just strengthened Heloises belief that these men were afraid of them. Why not show themselves? She shifted slightly, [color=f6989d]"pain, and fear only work if your target is...pliable. There are better ways, but you don't seem intelligent enough for them"[/color] she knew she was probably making a mistake but she couldn't stop the words, as they just fell out. Her mouth didn't want to respond to her brains orders to shut up, but she kept a neutral expression, as if she was in control. 

Why couldn't she just stay silent, sit back and not be noticed like normal? Her eyes drifted over the others, and her hands curled into fists. Right. Because they others were in danger too. heloise could take pain. What she was afraid if was someone else taking the pain, being hurt. Duncan's pain, the scream, twisted within her, and Heloise just wanted to repay that hurt. People who caused pain like that were just weak. She just had to find a way to exploit that weakness. And that was another reason she was hoping to keep attention in her. Some of the others, like Xerox, would then be free to study the situation and figure something out as she narrowed her eyes, watching 'Mako'.
