She takes a seat off in the corner of the interrogation room, making notes and working from her PDA. Things had to go perfectly, if this wasn't going to blow up in their faces. ]

He's going to do this. He has to.
He escorts her into the room. Sits Abby down in the lone chair there, and steps back. ]

She sits in the chair and balls her hands into fists, clutching handfuls of her PJ pants. ]

He peered at the young girl behind his tinted glass. He could hear everything she uttered, he could see every movement she made.
He was more than a lie detector, so much more. He was a survivalist. And if this poor young creature had to be sacrificed to ensure his survival, well…
So be it.]

He doesn't want to be the one to break it. ]
You're a spy for Tony Stark. Is that true? What have you reported to him?
Reply
I-I haven't told Mr. Stark anything.
[ A lie. ]

[He felt his skin lightly sizzle under the influence of Abby's words. He nearly cringed at the sensation; the girl had just pronounced a death sentence upon her own head. And Edward was the messenger.]
Lying significantly.
[He spoke into a communication device separate from the ones so renowned within the City. This was for Osborn's ears only. So Edward thought, anyway.]

[ She's going to put up a fight. Terry's not sure how he feels about that. He doesn't want to hurt her. It's the last thing he wants. He wouldn't wish his powers on a stranger, let alone Abby.
Still, he lets a little of his power slip into his voice. She needs to give Osborn answers, so they can get her out. ]
Answer the question. What have you reported to Tony Stark?

Her fists tighten in the material of her clothes. ]
I... [ A little lie. Maybe the half-truth would save her a little, without her having to surrender everything. ] I told him about Carnage and Bullseye. B-But that's all.

It's half false and half true, Osborn. I can't differentiate beyond that, it's not how it works in juxtaposition. Not when the statements are dependent on each other. I just know it's mixed.
[Edward hesitates. It would be easy to leave it at that. Easy to ignore the obvious. But he was a man of truth, now wasn't he? Hardly ever took the easy way out.
He needed Osborn's cooperation.]
My guess? She told Stark more. Including that, yes, but there's more to it.
Reply
Cloud 9, elaborate on your last statement, please.
[She spoke calmly, comfortably, despite the fact that even she was a bit uneasy when Trauma's power was involved. There was no reason to be nasty, so long as the girl cooperated.]
Reply
Her eyebrows draw together. Finally, she looks up. There's something stubborn in her expression. ]
I don't have anything else to say.
Reply
She looked up at Cloud 9, her expression souring a little, and her tone became more stern.]
I'm not convinced of that, frankly. It's in your best interest to tell us everything. Think about it for a moment, this can all be over as soon as you tell us what you told Stark. You can be out of here and on your merry way, or we can make you tell us everything.
Now, I'll ask something smaller, something that even you can understand.
What exactly did you tell Stark about those two men?
[ooc: Hope this isn't breaking posting order or anything. It just seemed appropriate for Hand to respond again.]
Reply
Abby hesitates. But at length, she purses her lips and shakes her head. ]
I don't have anything else to say.
(OOC: No problem! I think we're just all posting as it seems appropriate.)

Please continue, Mr. Ward.
