Town meeting!

[punsofiron]

Characters: Iron Liz and everybody who hasn't been affected by the mirror universe.
Content: Liz calls a meeting to figure out what to do about this universe.
Location: The lab with all the animal cages
Time of Day: Night
Warnings: None thus far

It was tricky, and a bit risky, but Ammy, Liz and Aqua managed to sniff out who was still themselves in this universe, and sent a simple message to each of them personally; "Important meeting in the lab tonight. Liz will swing for Chinese."

Liz had spent the time before then sorting through the experimental weapons, testing them on a safe target and figuring out which ones could be used if they need to. Now as it was almost time for people to show up, she started setting up a circle for everyone, still in sight of the cage they threw Harvey in, but hopefully far enough away that they can keep him from hearing all their plans. This was already a tricky operation, hopefully it wouldn't be too much like herding cats in this group.

"Are you going to talk this much the whole time? We have a lot of business to take care of over here."

Although Harvey couldn’t see it, Ammy made a face at the idea of eating 90s Kid. How awful! It had been bad enough for Pinkie and all of his other friends when that dinosaur had gotten him a few months ago. She didn’t even want to think about that happening again, and worst of all, because of her.

Harvey was really pressing his luck if he did think she was going to hurt him. She didn’t really want her bluff to get called, but there may be no getting around it. She gave Harvey a sharp bark as if to say “quiet down!”

"Geez, I'm sorry! Am I botherin' you?"

Harvey finally looked away from Amaterasu, directing his glare at Liz instead. Stupid broad, tyin' him up, threatenin' him with that thing, and then whinin' about it. "Tell ya what, how about you just go - "

Whatever he'd been about to say was lost as he nearly jumped out of his skin at Ammy's bark. He tried ineffectually to push himself away from her a little, watching her again. Not that he was scared. Of course not. He was just bein' cautious - getting eaten was a hell of a way to die.

Though honestly, the way she was actin' now, she didn't even seem like she was interested in tearin' his throat out...

It was really starting to get to Liz how different this universe's Harvey was from the one she knew. No matter how many times it happened, she couldn't stand it when something caused them to butt heads this violently. She clenched her fists and for a moment considered storming toward that cage, but had a feeling that would blow Ammy's cover. Instead, she got just close enough to see Harvey's eyes, and gave him a cold, hard gaze.

"Do you really think you are in any position to threaten me? Need I remind you how you got here in the first place?" She emphasized that remark with a knowing look toward Amaterasu. Maybe she wasn't as ferocious as Harvey remembered, but hopefully it was clear by now that they were working together.

"You don't scare me, Mr. Finevoice, and I'm not some useless little girl who will just take a shot in the leg or a smart mouth. Especially not from someone I used to trust. I've had enough of your shit, and I don't have to listen to you. So if you don't shut up, one of us will make you shut up. Do I make myself clear?"

Hopefully Harvey would buy that she would work with someone. Maybe he would chalk it up to some kind of science thing that she couldn't understand, but that humans seemed to use often.

She added onto Liz's threats with another bark of her own. That first one seemed to scare him enough, maybe another would make him keep quiet for good.

Harvey turned to watch Liz as she approached, his lip curled in impotent rage. His eyes darted quickly to Amaterasu as she barked, only to return to the woman standing by the bars. Setting his jaw, he glared up at her defiantly, resembling nothing more than a wounded, cornered animal.

"Fine. Fine." The corners of his mouth twisted into a small, mirthless smile. He wasn't afraid of her. He was still in control of this situation. He'd get outta this. "I'll keep quiet while you broads have your little tea party. And who knows - maybe I'll get ta watch your little pet turn on ya." God knows he could do with a show, and if he had to die? He wanted to see her go first.
