"I'm not kidding, Root." Shaw's voice suggested an emergency. "He's taking this whole thing really seriously. Do you know what'll happen if he Looks at John?"

"John might agree with me." said Root. "After all, Emma's brother was one of the kids who got taken."

Shaw paused, biting her lip. "You know I'm fine with torturing anyone who asks for it." She said slowly. "It's just...this is exactly the kind of thing you guys got me out of. And I get it, you think you have to, but...I don't know. I guess I got used to doing things a different way."

Another silence. "What are you saying?" Root asked at last.

"I don't know." Shaw sounded tired. "I just think you can't be completely comfortable with this anymore if it's giving me cold feet. I guess it doesn't matter though, right? I mean, it's gotta be done for the greater good or whatever."

"Couldn't agree with you more." said Root. "Okay, Henry, why don't we get back to - AH!" Root cut herself off with a shriek and there was an ominous shattering sound from the room.

"Root?" Shaw stiffened, and it only took an instant for her to have her gun trained on the door.

"Open the door," came Henry's voice, now deadly calm. "Or your friend dies."

Shaw paused. "I don't know the code." She said steadily. "I have to get someone else."

"The code is 541327." said Cas from across the room, still staring at the wall.

Shaw whipped her head around, glaring at Cas with disgust. "Fine." She said, turning back to the door. "Step back." She entered the code and opened the door, aiming her fun inside.

'Henry' was holding Root in a loose chokehold, a piece of broken glass at her throat. She had a stab wound in her side, and looked positively murderous despite the fact that she couldn't move without her jugular vein being severed. There was broken glass all around them, apparently Henry had broken the window. "Hello, Shaw." he said with a pleasant smile. "Nice to finally see the co-conspirator to this little interrogation."

"Hey Henry." Shaw had her gun out and aimed, but she couldn't shoot without hitting Root. If it was possible to look more deadly furious than Root, she was doing it. "How are the kids doing?"

"Oh, just fine. Thank you for asking!" he said, the smile disappearing from his face. "Now move aside."

"Or what? You'll kill your leverage?" Shaw asked. "Doubt it. You aren't stupid, whatever else you are."

"I wouldn't test that theory, if I were you." said Ben, pressing the glass a bit more against Root's throat. She winced as blood welled up against the blade.

Shaw clenched her jaw. "Fine." She said finally, spitting out the single word. She stepped slowly to the side, her gun still aimed at Ben, and therefore Root.

Ben promptly slit Root's throat. She fell to the ground, blood pooling at her neck as she got dangerously close to bleeding out. Ben turned and made a run for the door. He turned the corner and ran straight into Castiel, who promptly plunged a knife into his side. He stood holding the knife, eyes full of a strange sort of anger, and twisted it further into Ben's side before allowing him to fall to the ground.

"No." Shaw ran forward, ripping off her gloves and trying to stop the bleeding. She glanced over her shoulder and saw that Cas was no longer chained. "Get help." She asked him, staring at him.

Cas turned to go when Reese burst into the hatch, followed by Jack and TJ. Jack rushed straight to Root and began attempting to stabilize her, carrying her over to the medical section of the hatch. TJ dragged Ben back into his cell and began patching him up. Reese pinned Cas to the wall. "What did you do?"

Shaw backed off as Root was rushed away. "It wasn't him." She told Reese. "He was actually the one who stabbed NotHenry."

Cas and Reese stared each other down for a moment, then Reese released him and held out his hand. "You saved my friend's life. Thank you." Cas shook it, still deadly serious. "I am not certain your friend will survive...but you are welcome."

Shaw turned and approached the room with Jack and Root. "What's the word, Doc?" She asked in a falsely loose tone.

Jack didn't answer, still hard at work. There was blood soaking the many bandages he had been using before he started the stitches.

It didn't take her medical knowledge to know it wasn't looking good for Root. Shaw turned away, face cold, and walked instead towards Ben's cell.

"Shaw." said Reese, stepping towards her. "TJ's got Henry. Take a breather."

Post by ®Hawkpath® on Aug 11, 2016 22:33:46 GMT -5
Shaw stopped but didn't look away from the door. "Oh, I'm not going to give him a band-aid." She assured him, a murderous glint in her eye.

Cas stepped in front of them, scribbled something on a piece of paper, then threw the paper in at TJ. After this was done, he closed the door and changed the code, standing in front of Shaw so she couldn't see it. "Now only the doctor inside can open the door." he said, turning to face her with an apologetic look on his face. "Emotions are running high, I couldn't risk the consequences of unfettered access."

Shaw stared at him for a moment, as if trying to decide what had just happened. Then she grabbed his shirt and pinned him against the wall. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't tear that faker apart." She spat coldly, but to her benefit she was talking about Ben and not Cas.

Cas gave what might've been a slight shrug. "Because he is already sufficiently torn apart by the blade I used on him. I severely damaged his latissimus dorsi muscle and his external oblique. He will be unable to cause you any more difficulty for many months."
"Was any of that in English, Shaw?" asked Reese, frowning.
