Consciousness came back to her slowly, screams surrounding her, it took a second for her to recognise Jaybirds screams, opening her eyes she spotted his half-healed state, glancing down at herself she had been cuffed to the wall, completely healed and completely naked- she frowned but then realised that her clothes wouldn't have survived.
Shifting onto her feet and ignoring the chains rattling, she looked around and glanced up at the camera, sneering at the lens she turned and shuffled over to Jack who was still screaming, lifting her left hand to her throat she extended her claws and slit her own throat, the blood pouring into Jack's mouth who started drinking desperately, she watched his healing intensify and soon he was back to normal
"better now?" she asked gently
"better," he said in agreement "how are you?"
She shook her head finger pointing at the camera "þrótt-lauss, mællaterr" he nodded his head in understanding
"Come on. Who's the genius behind the camera? Come on, come on, and take your bow. Show yourself. Face me like a man." Jack bellowed
A circular access panel was removed from the top of the cell "I'm not a man." A woman called down
"I admire assassination attempts, a good bit of fun, play a game of cat and mouse, I always win, of course, the best fun about assassination attempts is the subtlety of it all, exchanging pleasantries with one's enemies while plotting their demise, the bomb was just...poor showmanship, I'm disappointed" she scolded lightly
"I'm not a subtle person" she retorted
"that's obvious from your wardrobe can you scream 'secret government agent' any louder?" she questioned in a scornful tone
"Who are you? What's all this about?" Jack demanded
"Apparently you two can't die, so it would be foolish to tell either of you anything. But I will say this. If I can't kill you, I can contain you." she said
"Want me to snap your neck?" Morgana asked
"Please?" he begged quietly, and she nodded reaching out and snapping his neck, resigning herself to suffocating to death again and again- oh well, someone would find her eventually, concrete poured into the cell and she kept her mouth and eyes shut as the cell was filled.
"Told you I'd be back," Jack commented as they climbed out of the rubble
"With a little help from us." Rhys flushed as he spotted Morgana
"someone have some form of covering? And also, an agreement to never mention to Dearest he's not the only one to get an eyeful? Turns out he's a very possessive man" Morgana requested and smiled at Ianto who handed his suit jacket over to her, she quickly slid it on, buttoning the front.
"What the hell's going on?" Jack demanded
"Don't know yet, but the latest from the kids is that it's happening tomorrow," Gwen told them
"we're just in time, then," Jack said in satisfaction
"Get in the car. Come on, we've got work to do." Gwen said holding out the undertaker's jacket for him whilst trying to avert her eyes. Jack just slings it over his shoulder and walked off, Morgana following him, and they climbed into the back of the car
"You two need to get the concrete off you, your skin is grey Morgana," Gwen said in concern
"it's not concrete, it's my skin," she said tiredly
"Are you still healing?" Gwen frowned
"No, I'm starving and I have moved onto dissecting, due to lack of blood and desperately need blood because I'm a hair's breadth away from snapping and eating everyone in this car" she admitted raspy her throat was so dry and she could hear their blood pumping in their veins, like a dying man in front of cold water in the middle of the desert... she shook herself, they were friends, not juice boxes
