brokenweapon[OOC: Co-written with Milbury. Thanks for being awesome! There is also a scoschy bit of time fuckery in here because real talk, nobody can be held hostage on the Barge for two weeks without being found. The ship ain't that big, not like it's Tora Bora or anything.]
[The screen flicks on, and the face of Jason Bourne appears - though anyone would be forgiven for not recognizing him at first, due to the haggard look and the beard that he’s sporting. He’s a right mess, with a healing split lip and bruises all over every place the camera can see, and quite a few more besides.
He speaks, and his voice sounds hoarse and rusty from disuse.] “As of the morning of June 5th, I have not been myself. I was kidnapped and impersonated by my inmate, and held captive in another inmate’s quarters.” [He glances off-camera.] “Come here, David.”
[He reaches over with his right hand to turn off the feed, the gun still trained on David, and now it’s clear why he’s using his opposite hand to hold a gun on his inmate. His right thumb is still broken and hasn’t yet been treated, hanging down grotesquely. It can be seen for just a moment before the feed switches off.]
[Private to the Admiral, just after Rathammer commences:]
Please revoke David's morphing ability entirely. When I see fit to restore his powers, keep him from being able to acquire or morph any Barge denizen.

| [Sullenly, reluctantly, David walks into view. While not as disheveled as his warden, David’s seen better days himself - his normally straight hair is matted to his head and the shirt he’s wearing is torn at the collar. He’s also got his hands clasped together behind his head - clearly he’s not here of his own volition. He doesn’t look at the camera. His attention is focused entirely on his warden, and the look he’s eyeing Bourne with is a dangerous one - bitter and resentful. He says nothing.] | |
| “Show them.” [Bourne’s voice is flat and level. His left hand is nearly out of frame, and there’s a gun in it, and it’s pointed directly at his inmate.] “Now.” | |
| [Gritting his teeth and looking away from the camera, David begins to change. Slowly he begins growing, both in height and mass, his lean teenager’s body bulking up into the body of a man fifteen years or so older. It’s a bit like watching aging flash-forwarded, except that David isn’t just growing older. His entire facial structure is changing as he grows - his ear-length blond hair shortens and darkens, while his eyes go from dark brown to steely blue. | |
| When the transformation’s complete, no trace of David can be see in the man he’s become. Now Jason Bourne appears to be holding his twin double at gunpoint.] | |
| [Anyone watching Bourne rather than David would see the anger and hate in his eyes as he watches the transformation. There are two of him now - one whole, perfect, and fake; the other beaten, broken, and the genuine article.] “Demorph,” [he says, and there’s such bitter loathing in his voice it’s surprising he hasn’t pulled the trigger out of spite. | |
| Looking back at his warden with undisguised hatred, David does as he’s told. Jason Bourne’s form recedes back the way it came, exposing David’s secret for the entire Barge to see.] “Happy now?” [David asks, and while his sullen bitterness can’t match the utter loathing his warden expressed in that one-word command, his own voice is quivering with anger. His hands are clenched behind his head, and it’s quite clear he would enjoy nothing more than seeing the man he just became torn apart, perhaps by rabid lions.] | |
| [Bourne doesn’t respond to his inmate’s question, but the answer is obviously ‘No’. Though he refuses to take his eyes off of his inmate, it’s clear that he’s addressing the camera:] “I apologize for anything he’s done while using my form since then. This will not happen again. He will be receiving a punishment that fits his crime.” |
[He reaches over with his right hand to turn off the feed, the gun still trained on David, and now it’s clear why he’s using his opposite hand to hold a gun on his inmate. His right thumb is still broken and hasn’t yet been treated, hanging down grotesquely. It can be seen for just a moment before the feed switches off.]

"So what now?" he demands angrily.

From:[So Private] David pushed him too far. HE DUN GOOFED.
From:[So Private] Bourne BACK-TRACED IT!
From:[So Private] Throwing something at someone with a gun? Not smart.
From:[So Private] If David were as smart as he thinks, he wouldn't be in this position in the first place
From:[So Private] This is true...
From:[So Private]
From:[So Private] On the Barge, no-one can hear you scream.
From:[So Private] Unless you're screaming in thought-speak.
From:[So Private] Fine. Be pedantic. xP
From:[So Private] I'm a former tutor, being pedantic is second nature. XD
From:[So Private] I see. xD
From:[So Private]
From:[So Private] It would be heartbreaking if he hadn't been such a little shit. xP
From:Private, but he's on his way to your room. Whether you like it or not. >:|
Date: 2011-06-13 05:53 pm (UTC)I swear to god, if you pull that trigger.. Wait for me.
Private, a few minutes later (post-David thread). Enjoy the locked door you'll be meeting, Costigan.
Date: 2011-06-13 06:23 pm (UTC)Please. He deserves it, but I'm not a monster.

Date: 2011-06-13 07:28 pm (UTC)Good to see you back as yourself, Bourne. We've never met before, but David made the mistake of showing me his ability when he first arrived. His disguise as you wasn't much after that.
[Pause. A trace of concern enters his voice.]
What will happen to him now?
[Video; Private]
Date: 2011-06-14 04:35 pm (UTC)Thank you, by the way.
[A pause.]
Nothing life-threatening. Nothing that will even harm him physically. But don't be surprised if you don't see him around for a while.
[Video; Private]
Date: 2011-06-15 04:28 pm (UTC)...Okay. Do what you think is best. [Another pause, a mental debate on if to say more or not, then he continues.] Just try not to be too hard on him. I've seen what power does to people. It messes them up especially if they had issues to begin with. He's a sick kid, but hardly a criminal.
[He clears his throat. Awkwardly.] I'm sorry if I said too much.

I went to the CES when he was there. We swam together and...one thing led to another. I should have known better, but [cynical smile] I guess I just don't know how to learn my lesson.
[If he presses for just what happened, she'll tell him.]
[ Private | Video ] NOTHING TOO SCANDALOUS I HOPE sweet jegus my blood pressure
From:[ Private | Video ] Never, we'd have consulted with you first, bebe.
From:[ Private | Video ] This entire plot has had me stressed out to Mars. I freaked out.
