For coldburn

[alchemic_waves]

 Two days, that's how long she had been there, at least as far as she knew.  Constance's wrists were kept behind her, kept her from using her alchemy to attack the men that had caught her when she stepped off the plane in Seattle.  At first she had thought that it was because of Erik, but they hadn't once questioned her about him.  

Instead it was about her father's project and how she was able to use his sciences.  When she had refused to talk she was hit, nothing she didn't expect at least, but seemed like they were bored with that tactic.  The door to the interrogation room opened.  Constance braced herself for another round.  

Somewhere else the man in charge of the project grinned a little.  There were two reasons she was there, and with luck the second reason would help with the first.

He gave her a blank look. "...Cop shit? I'm not a... cop."

He eyed the thermos pointedly. He'd probably be in as much trouble as she would be.

She would have face palmed if she wasn't trying not to laugh at how confused and serious he was looking at the same time.

"Seriously I said I'd eat it only if you tried some until then I'm not touching it."

[coldburn]

"I... I can't eat."

It wasn't that he didn't wonder what it was like. He did. Especially now. But he was pretty sure he'd malfunction somehow if he tried it. There had to be a reason they never actually fed him.

"Then I'm not eating." She insisted as she leaned back against the wall.

"Though really thy don't let you eat, not much of an existence I'd think."

[coldburn]

He shrugged. "They'll make you."

He shifted uncomfortably against the wall. "No one feeds a gun."

[alchemic_waves]

"So let them. I'm sure that I won't be here long, my friends will find out where I am."

She huffed. "You're only a weapon if you let them treat you like one. They may have taken away my seal right now, but doesn't mean I'm fully disarmed."

He took a shaky breath. She couldn't be right. She just couldn't. He was an asset, always had been. He wouldn't even know how to be anything else. He could feel his flames start to slip his control. He moved to the other end of the room. He couldn't risk hurting her if he completely lost control.

Seeing his reaction she watched him.

"What? I'm not going to be one of their lackies, and really why don't you just leave?" She didn't care what they'd do to her at the moment, if it got her to a room she could contact Erik in she'd risk getting herself killed.

[coldburn]

He shook at that idea. "Leave? No... No, I..." He clenched his hands. He couldn't explain it but even thinking leaving made him feel sick. "No!"
