And he missed all the fun! (OTA to those who can hear him pounding on his door)

[transtranny]

Didn't it just figure?! Frank, being locked away like a fairytale princess with no one to rescue him, and he'd missed all the fun! Oh, he'd heard the screaming, heard all the fracas, but could he join in? Savor all the madness?! NO. Somehow his door was locked and he couldn't get out. His pout was mega-watted and he was very dismayed

Draco had to admit that he thought Charles was an idiot for giving him access to Frank.* At first, anyway. Then he realized just how much trust the man was putting in him by doing so. Well played, Charles. Well played.

Of course that didn't mean Draco wasn't going to have his fun with Frank.

"Frank, darling, is that you?" he cooed.

[*Handwaved, mun-approved.]

[black_nimbus01]

"Well, whatever you were trying to do was a bloody mess, but that's not the problem."

Draco walked over the the window and cracked it open. "Getting a bit ripe in here, Frank. If you're going to be trapped in one place for a while, at least have a bit of self respect, darling."

[transtranny]

Watching him, Frank inched his way toward that tantalizing open door. "It's hardly fresh air seeing as it's ground level .... "

[black_nimbus01]

Draco watched him inch, and smiled wider. "Oh, by all means then," he said, and motioned towards the door. "Shall we have a walk and talk? Or, better yet, run. I do so love the hunt. Almost as good as the take down."

[Fuuu. Forget. Oops. sorry!]

[transtranny]

(ooc: hehe, no worries! It still works!)

Gulp! "Why," Frank said, working his fingers over his string of pearls. "A walk would be lovely, Draco."

[black_nimbus01]

"I shouldn't promise something like that should I?" he said with a laugh and moved towards the door. "I haven't the foggiest how the lock on the door works. Could be that you'll never leave this room alive. Let's see how living flesh works first, shall we?"

[transtranny]

"... living flesh?" What ever did that mean?!"

Giving it a half-second's thought, Frank gave a run for it, even in his heels, aiming for the door and the hallway beyond.

[black_nimbus01]

"Looks like I get to give you a head start." Mostly he was curious whether the room would let him go or not, but he hadn't been joking about the hunt.

[transtranny]

Jack and Charles were no magicians: they had worked with Remy LeBeau to keep Frank locked in. So the door did indeed lead out. Frank scrabbled for the stairway and the lobby beyond.

[black_nimbus01]

Draco chuckled as he followed at a less 'scrabbly' pace, and twirled his wand the fingers of his right hand.

"Careful there, Frank," he called out. "Don't want to break a heel now, do you?"

The wizard could have done such to him, but why ruin a perfectly good pair of heels? That was simply cruel and unusual punishment. So he cast a well-aimed trip jinx instead.

[transtranny]

Frank made an undignified yelping noise as he went down in a heap of limbs, only just missing a head injury on the stairs.

This certainly didn't look good. And it wasn't as if Frank had demonstrated dignity when Riff Raff (that ungrateful troll!) had promised to zap him into oblivion.

He worked to get his feet under him and continue his getaway.

[black_nimbus01]

"I'm closing in on you, Frank," Draco taunted with a dark laugh. "What shall I do when I catch you, hmm? Unfortunately, I can't kill you, but I can play with you a while."

[transtranny]

"But Draco!" Trilled Frank with a decidedly desperate tone. "Why?! I didn't hurt you! And I only made a little mess in the lab!"

[black_nimbus01]

"Why? Because I gave you the space for that lab out of respect for the Frank I used to know. Had I known you would use it to commit a crime you were too foolish enough not realize you would be caught, I wouldn't have done so. I'm a business man, Frank. I have a reputation to keep up," Draco said, and then he smiled with pity and laughed. "Had you been smart and learned about that reputation, you wouldn't be in this mess. If there is one thing I tolerate less than having my businesses desecrated, it is most certainly having those special people in my circle harmed."

The wizard flicked his wand, sending a strong stinging hex at Frank. "Jack Harkness belongs to Charles Xavier, who happens to be a good friend of mine. He made me promise no to kill you. Funny, isn't it? You're less than half the man of a man that can't use half of his body."

[transtranny]

Screeching at the pain, Frank fell again, using his heels to try to distance himself from this recalcitrant man. "Why is it that everyone wants to kill me?!" It was getting tedious, really.

[black_nimbus01]

"Well," Draco thought out loud as he ambled along. "You are the common denominator here - perhaps you ought to put more effort into thinking of the consequences of your actions? Not that I care, and nor should you. You've got bigger problems to worry about; dying at my hands would be a mercy."

He stopped a few feet from Frank and grinned. "There are so many things I can do to you. No one here really knows just how cruel and sadistic I can really be."
