[because Dero can't survive with the Brig being dead any longer, he's alive and on the Plane. he's inwardly quite disturbed, you know, by the fact he was killed and now is alive - and it shows on his face via... him just looking thoughtful, really.

the Brig takes just a moment or so before seeming to 'snap' out of it, and then he assumes his general neutral expression]

Well. Seems I'm in need of a new gun.

[which is correct, as the gun normally in his holster is gone completely]

It was crushed in the fight.

Her strength continually surprises me, though it shouldn't, at this point.

[barelyemoting.livejournal.com]

I'd never seen her before. I was caught completely unaware.

[contract_star]

[Heavy sigh.] I'd run into her a few times before then, so I had some idea at least of what to expect. Even so, just knowing is rarely enough when it's Diva.

...Something has to be done to prevent that from happening again.

[contract_star]

[Gives the Brig a level look.] She says it shouldn't. Her reality changed and someone in her own world injected her with something--whatever it was made her like that. I've never seen her like that before.

[he stares back coldly and unmoved] If it happened once, there is the chance it could happen again. Measures need to be taken on the chance it does. A latent threat is still a threat.

[contract_star]

[Looks away.] That's true. If she shows up like that again, I know how to deal with it. [Isn't going to say how, though, oh no.]

[barelyemoting.livejournal.com]

Then you had better tell me how. Otherwise, I will do whatever is necessary to find out how to keep it from happening again.

[contract_star]

[Face is blank.] She can be killed, though only temporarily.

[barelyemoting.livejournal.com]

I know that. [hands behind his back] What I need is a means of preventing this from happening again. Death isn't necessary if there is an alternative.

[contract_star]

The only way to stop it from ever happening is to kill her permanently, assuming that's even possible. Even if it was, the Twins would just bring her back, as they do with the rest of us. [Looks skyward.] Either way, I don't think I'd be willing to kill her just to potentially stop it from happening again.
