A Nation of Millions

The cell, deep in the bowels of the southern campus, was a totally round, clear, quasi-plexiglass sphere, balanced above the ground. It was entirly airtight, and kept in near-vacuum conditions, with a bit of a deep base hum in the background from four devices placed around the perimiter. Nothing was in the sphere--no chair, no bed, no toilet, nothing.

Nothing, except one man, who smirked at the figures now arriving.

"But there is only one of you, that makes you special, you stand out among the other things, it's true. Yes, the universe is large, but whoever is in charge, made lots of things but only one of you..." Legion sang, mockingly.

"And a cheap knock-off too." Sara says, frowning at Legion through the plexiglass.

"Don't be so hard on yourself."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 4:01 pm

"Why should I be. I beat your ass. Twice."

by **Legion** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 4:10 pm

"Sadly, you didn't. Your loss."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 4:16 pm

"Hilarious." she deadpans.

"Alright, who the hell are you and who is Faultline."

by **Legion** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 4:17 pm

"You don't recognize your own...what, husband? Boyfriend? Lovetoy?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 4:21 pm

"I do and you're most certainly neither."

by **Legion** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 4:27 pm

"Apparently you can't count in this universe, either.

This universe...what a strange, unholy place this is."

"As opposed to yours where attacking a pregnant woman with a buzz-saw apparently is perfectly fine? Or is that just you?"

by **Legion** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 4:39 pm

"Whine, whine, whine."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 4:42 pm

"Either give me a reason to stay here and be insulted or I'm just gonna leave."

by **Legion** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 4:45 pm

"You wouldn't be the first, and you wouldn't be the last. Please yourself."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 4:47 pm

"The bloody hell are you talking about?"

by **Legion** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 4:47 pm

"Leave if you want. Why would it matter to me. I know what I need to know."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 4:52 pm

"See the thing is, if you're being uncooperative your chances of getting out of here pretty much fall to zero."

by **Legion** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 5:07 pm

"Your point?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 5:13 pm

She shrugs and turns around to leave.

by **Legion** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 5:15 pm

"Dat ass," he grinned.

Will stood there, still, still eyeing up his doppleganger.

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 5:25 pm

"Don't you dare talk to her like that," Will said, staring into the cage. "Don't you dare."

by **Legion** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 5:26 pm

"Why, what are you gonna do? Come in here? Open the cage up? Because, believe me, I like my chances.

You think you're so damn special, don't you? No one here really cares about you--you can see that, can't you? I've done MY homework."

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 5:27 pm

"Shut up."

by **Legion** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 5:28 pm

"Oh, yes, I know you. Will Stanton, oh, woe is him. How can anyone possibly know what it's like to be him? He's so god damned special, he's off limits. Never will let loose, never will flex his muscle. Never will live up to his potential. No one cares enough to help him out, no one cares enough to protect him. Just blindly stumbling his way from day to day.

You make me sick."

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 5:29 pm

"Shut up."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 5:36 pm

"Yeah, that's called having principles and morals."

by **Legion** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 5:43 pm

"You think people really care about you? Your family? Your friends? Look at you. Look what you're DOING," Legion said.

"Principles? Morals? You don't get to talk about those. You don't get to say a fucking word."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 5:47 pm

"Why not. It's what makes him the better man. Woman. Whatever."

by **Legion** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 5:51 pm

"He's the better man DESPITE you. How much you must despise him."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 5:56 pm

"What the bloody hell are you talking about!?"

by **Legion** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 6:00 pm

"Look at him. Look how weak and pathetic he is. Look how vulnerable and incompetent."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 6:02 pm

"And still he saved the Princess and foiled your retarded plan. You've got no room to talk."

by **Legion** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 6:14 pm

"Wasn't my plan. Sounded like a laugh. I don't plan."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 6:20 pm

"Yes, hilarious. Innocent people died!"

by **Legion** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 6:25 pm

"They would have died anyway."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 6:27 pm

"You're a monster."

by **Legion** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 6:30 pm

"That. That's it exactly. That's what you see. You're all alike. You're a coward, and hateful."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 6:33 pm

"I'd rather be that than whatever you are."

by **Legion** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 6:35 pm

"I'm cared about."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 6:38 pm

"Oh yeah and where is she? You've been here for how many months now?"

by **Legion** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 6:41 pm

"She's with me. The rest of me."
