Dani eyed Warren through the window. Seeing him like this..This wasn't the friend that she admired, that she respected. She'd tended to him since Scott brought him back to the mansion.

But she still didn't know what to say to him.

The Warren that she saw..wasn't even capable of that on his worst days. He needed to be in company of people who loved him, not in some jail cell. She re-entered the room but kept her distance by staying at the door.

"Well, that was something.." She said, searching for the right words.

A name lingered in the back of her mind. Joker...

Warren turned to look at Dani, surprised and a little startled that she'd finally spoken to him. Most of the time he'd been awake he'd seen her lingering around, but words were never passed between them. Warren had felt too awkward to say the first words to anyone so far. This was no exception.

"Were you there?"

He couldn't remember all of the faces, but he felt considerably worse whenever he found that someone was there.

Dani sighed. He was still fuzzy, it seemed. She, on the other hand, was pissed.

"No. I got briefings from the others. And then I saw some of the footage. Not your best moment."

He swallowed, noting the tone and the choice of words. It was always hard to tell what someone like Dani Moonstar was thinking when she spoke; she could be fierce when she wanted to be. Warren knew there was no getting out of it though, and he intended to sit and listen to what she had to say.

"I'm definitely not disagreeing with you," he flicked his gaze up to hers. "What were you all briefed on, exactly?"

itsnotamirage July 30 2009, 23:23:18 UTC

She stared, but she wasn't looking at him. Dani saw Archangel. The madness in his eyes, yet blinded with fury. She averted her gaze. It was taking every ounce of her of sanity to not shoot Warren herself. At the same time, she couldn't blame him..

"The Joker broke in to your office Infected you with the gas and you lost your mind." She said coldly.

ascending_angel July 30 2009, 23:29:29 UTC

"Blew it up is a better assessment," he explained, keeping his eyes trained on her face. "He killed every person I employed and shared my work space with. I would've been dead too if it wasn't for my powers."

He paused, and considered the next question.

"Were you briefed on my powers?"

itsnotamirage July 30 2009, 23:41:11 UTC

"No." She said, keeping her eyes fixed at the foot of his bed. "Does anyone know where The Joker was last seen?" She asked, feeling that prickling feeling in the back of head.

"I know Scott's keeping his eye on you, not the best of times. How is your company doing? You know who's in charge?

ascending_angel July 31 2009, 00:00:23 UTC

"You guys would know better than me. I didn't even see him blow the place up until I went back in the archives and looked it up."

Warren's eyes were still trained on her face; he was trying to get a good idea of what it was Dani was thinking or feeling, but she was a tough one to decipher. Her questions were straight to the point and business-like, making it impossible to determine where she was getting at. It made Warren's insides twist nervously.

"Scott knows better. Knows more." He paused. "And the companies were all headed by stockholders like me. Businessmen-- regular old people."

"Oh, we'll find him. Or someone will do it for us." Dani stared at him. Warren guilt was all over his face. Hell, it was all over the room. She stared at him, keeping her cold glare.

"Scott is Scott. Only Emma can get through to him." She said. "Warren, stop blaming yourself. If you don't, I'll beat the heck out of you."

ascending_angel July 31 2009, 00:33:48 UTC

He nodded, agreeing completely that the Joker would be stopped. If Warren got out of jail, the first thing he would do was look for that guy and make sure he would never be free to roam again.

"Scott's also one of my best friends," Warren told her very seriously. "He has been since I was fifteen, Dani. I'd follow him to hell and back."

He didn't comment on the guilt part though. No matter what anyone said, it would be there.

itsnotamirage July 31 2009, 00:50:01 UTC

Dani rolled her eyes. Everyone listens to Scott, herself included. "We all would, but he has a habit of keeping people out-of-the loop." She moved and sat on the edge of the bed. "Where are they going to place you?"

ascending_angel July 31 2009, 00:55:45 UTC

"He only does it because he has to. There's a lot of tough decisions he's got to make in a day, and as someone who's lead this team before? It's a hell of a lot harder then it looks."

He let her sit, staying quietly in his place as he watched her. "I don't know yet. I have to surrender, and then they'll book me. I don't know if they'll let me out on bail, or anything like that, but I'll have to go to court and everything else. It's the right thing to do."

itsnotamirage July 31 2009, 01:03:42 UTC

Dani bit her lip. Yeah, Warren hit her between the eyes with that comment.
"I'm not saying it but.." She cracked a smile. Not a genuine one, just one to change the subject.

"Hi-tech cell? Hope they let you get any visitors..If you want any.." She said, looking down to the sheets.

ascending_angel July 31 2009, 12:46:04 UTC

"I don't know about any high tech equipment they might have for that," he breathed, wondering that very thing himself. He knew that the prison had been equipped once to handle Carnage. Death was a bit different than Carnage though, so the effects would not be the same.

"But high-tech or not, I wouldn't mind company," Warren continued quickly when he noted Dani's expression. "I mean, it'd be better than talking to the schizos, or the guys who run around in trench coats flashing people, or burgulars, right?"

itsnotamirage July 31 2009, 13:59:07 UTC

"I'll be sure to check in whenever I can." She laughed "Flashers? I'll never commit a dangerous crime. EVER."

"I hope you get to keep up with current events. You should be in the know, with whatever goes on here."

ascending_angel August 1 2009, 02:36:21 UTC

"Hey, it's nothing you can't catch in Central Park."

At least they were getting more comfortable with this now; Warren got the impression that Dani was more worried than angry. "I get to keep my communicator, I think. If Bullseye and Carnage can, I don't see why I wouldn't be able to."
