2nd Command; Video

[Hey there barge! It's been a little over a week since dear Tony here first made contact with you all, but he's been... uh. More than a little prevalent in most conversations.

Even when he didn't comment, he's done pretty much nothing but creep on every single conversation around the barge.]

Okay, so, I know there's this stupid thing with wardens vs inmates and what we're allowed to get our hands on, but. I am willing to give up my naptime once therapy hour starts if I can get one thing.

I had a suit when I came in. A big, red and gold suit that was taken by... I don't even know, I'm not going to think about it. But if my baby's been cannibalized I swear-

[No, calm down Tony]

All I want to know is who I have to schmooze in order to at least get my helmet back. It doesn't have any tools, just a few downloaded games to help pass the time as well as my music.

Oh, uh, also? It might be in your better interest to give it to me, wardens. I kind of have this thing I do when I get bored and find wires underneath a wall panel. It's... well it's kind of pretty, actually.

If you're a fan of explosions and fire.

[Okaaaaay, so he wouldn't explode things on purpose, but there's always the trial and error part of things and... well, uh. There's a reason Dummy's always on stand-by with the fire extinguisher.

But no, seriously. He's bored. And he never, ever stays still and he doesn't have a lab and ugh. He's literally twitching to get elbow deep in wires and see what the hell he can do with whatever's behind the walls, here.]

Perfect. Are you a Warden? Because if you are I'll do whatever you want to your video thing in return for a good word.

[Wanda you might as well be showing him some sort of filthy magazine with how avidly and dreamily he's watching that first piece of normal tech being waved about in front of him]

Gorgeous. I want one.

Not yet or I'd be all over this. But I am a veteran of this place and know several Wardens who are fairly awesome. If all else fails I can ask mine. She's the goddamn Batgirl, how cool is that?

That's why I added the "put it back together" clause. I figured you'd want to reverse-engineer it, it's too cool to not try and reproduce. I'm in 4-3.

No idea what a 'Bat'girl is. Unless she has wings and turns into a furry, upside down mammal during the full moon or whatever.

[He grins] I could reverse-engineer in my sleep, and alien futuristic tech isn't going to break that record.

The Bat family of superheroes are this awesome group from another world. I think they're all badass normals--ordinary people who become extraordinary through skills, tech and training. Amazing bunch.

So...I lend you my shiny, you do your thing, you get it back to me in working order in about a week?

Sounds right up my alley.

[He gives a floppy-wristed, mock salute, and resists the urge to make grabby hands at the screen]

Will do. I'll be down in a few. I need it.
