"Good. I reserve the right to put him six feet under."

"He's right." Cricket sighed. "Back to square one."

Bat..... decided to ignore that bit. 

He sighed. Back to square one indeed. 

Just now, Dragonheir said:

“Yes, that’s the brilliant thing. The Notblade gives you control of the senses of whoever you strike. There’s a spider-man movie I could show you that exemplifies how devastating that is.” He grins. “One touch from the Notblade and we control what Malan sees. We control what he sees, we control what he does. We control what he does, and we’ve completely and utterly defeated him.” 

“Perhaps. That’s why I will impersonate Rebel, the clone of me that is currently trying to reach Onyx’s Realm and safeguard one of the actually problematic Plotblades in the vault. It also makes me less of a threat, and supposedly easier to control.” 

I don't suppose I could be of aid, Ruia whispered.

Cricket had made a choice. One last murder. He would take revenge one final time. And then... never again. He was done with murder.

far from home??

"Huh. Does he know about Rebel?"

Yeah, I think so. I don’t remember which one, and the illusions thing was a spoiler anyway. Imagine if that villain had instead been opposed by someone like Thor. 
“I’m unsure. That’s why I’m going to send out a warrant, because even if he already does, I need Rebel caught.”

You probably can, though I cannot think of a specific task for you to do. Other than the ash, do you have any powers?

I could offer my tutelage to him as well.

Malan? If you recall, anyone you teach now gains power rapidly. Though I suppose if we do manage to mess with his senses, he could be a powerful but expendable warrior.

"Nothing's wrong, just... nothing's going right, either. Not sure if that makes sense."

She smiled grimly. "More than you know."

Malevolence frowned. "I don't see how I could blackmail Malan. The Enullers obviously can't find him any better than I can, and they're already aware of him so it's not like I could threaten to set them on his trail. And while he might want me, he wants me dead, just like Cricket. No, we need a hostage. Someone that Malan will want alive."

@Halcyon The Only @Through The Living Glass

"You're . . . awfully insistent on the whole hostage thing, aren't you, Malevolence?"

"Good. I... sometimes I just want somebody to understand me."

"It makes sense. It all seems logical."

“I am insistent upon the plan that I think will work best.” Malevolence said flatly. “While the rest of you may be willing to delude yourselves into thinking some highly contrived and overcomplicated plan will work, I am not.”

[Through The Living Glass She/They]

Just now, TwinStorm said:

"Good. I... sometimes I just want somebody to understand me."

She sighed. "Well, I'll do my best to help, if I can . . . would you be okay with that?"

"That's wonderful!" she said sarcastically. "But you're definitely still not trustworthy."

“Of course.” he said softly.

”He’s tried to kill us twice, but he makes valid points.”

“You don’t need to trust me. We can set this plan up so that no trust is required.” Malevolence didn’t like Bat either.

“Again, I believe Malan will see through any impersonation attempt.”

“Two things. A, Malan has never met Rebel, and B, I can flawlessly be Rebel, because I have his personality through several methods. If you don’t want to be the one captured you can just say so.” 

[Through The Living Glass She/They]

14 minutes ago, TwinStorm said:

“Of course.” he said softly.

”He’s tried to kill us twice, but he makes valid points.”

She smiled softly at him, grateful.

". . . But he tried to kill us twice, regardless of whether he's making good points or not."

"I told you that capturing me won't work. Malan wants me dead, not alive. More, he fears what I know about him and his plans. If Rebel had me captive, then he would be a threat to Malan by virtue of knowing what I know."

"So we kill you and Rebus takes your body to Malan. Problem solved!" Tam said, joking. Mostly.

Very well.

The Ennuller disappeared briefly, then returned with the reports.

Subversion grabbed the reports and read through them as quickly as she could.

Rebus smiles, telepathically saying,  And that is why I put a kill switch in the teleportation beacon I gave him earlier.

“Interesting… the only issue is that we already know all his plans. Regardless, I can bring you there, say I’ll kill you if he will hire you but let you loose if he won’t, and play up Rebel’s controllability. This man thought he could brainwash Tam; he shouldn’t be that difficult to fool, as long as we play into his biases.”

“That could actually work… not actually dead, of course. I fed Believed Dead to the rabbit, but we can probably bring it back.”

"Why would Malan care? Many good people who would want to oppose and lure him into a trap would kill me."

[Through The Living Glass She/They]

Just now, NameIess said:

She shrugged. "I don't know. You said Malan wanted you dead, not alive. It was a joke."

Really? Nice.

[Through the Living Heir he/him]

“Yes, but anyone who could capture Tam is far too powerful to be near Malan without being trusted. Someone who can simply hack all of the devices you use, though… I think you, or someone who is disguised as you, make better bait. Again, if you don’t like being bait, you can say so - that’s probably a more valid objection anyway.”

Yes, it’s a helpful feature, though they usually only self-destruct when they’ve been stolen.
