Choose your poison

[redledgerdays]

01. I DON'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE Unfortunately, you can't keep lying to your partner/friend/family anymore. You just don't feel the same for them anymore.
02. I WOULD KILL YOU The person who means so much to you has done something completely unforgivable and now it's time to make sure they know where they stand. You would kill them if you ever got the chance.
03. I LOVE YOU, BUT... A bittersweet love confession. You know you love this person more than anything, but you're not sure you can give them what they need.
04. I DON'T TRUST YOU No matter how you feel about this person, you really can't trust them anymore.
05. SACRIFICE You're going to sacrifice yourself, for the person you're talking with or for the good of all humanity. You want them to know the reasons and that there's no stopping you.
06. TROUBLE You're in trouble and you might not make it through. You need to let at least one person know how you feel before it's too late though.
07. BETRAYAL You've betrayed this person and you have to tell them the truth, no more running from it
08. CHEATED You've been unfaithful and it's time to tell your lover.
09. BROKEN That's it. You've had it. You are entirely broken and tired of everything.
10. AFRAID Something has you deathly afraid and you need to talk about it.
11. HELP ME You need someone to help you, bad. You can't do it alone anymore, you've tried.
12. I'M SORRY You said something or did something horrible and now it's time to ask for forgiveness.
13. YOU WERE A MISTAKE Sorry, but whoever you're talking to was the biggest mistake of your life or maybe it was just something you did together.
14. LET'S RUN AWAY You want to just get out, leave everything behind and be with this one person for the rest of your life.
15. ASHAMED Either you're ashamed of something they have done or something you did, either way you need to bring it up.
16. CAN'T REMEMBER The person standing in front of you looks so happy to see you, so relieved, but how do you tell them you can't remember a thing about them?
17. YOUR CHOICE Either choose an option from above, mix and match, or make up your own idea.

Comments

here have a small novel. I bet you can't guess which ones I picked.

I'm sorry.

He'd given the note to a confused and worried Pepper. It was meant for everyone...for his team. His friends. He didn't know who would see it first...Tony, he assumed. But with any luck, Tony wouldn't catch up to him.

What does Fury want me to do, swallow it?

He'd asked Natasha that once, about the Tesseract. But this wasn't the Tesseract. It was a different kind of alien energy source, another thing S.H.I.E.L.D. couldn't control. And it was going to blow the world to hell if they couldn't figure something out in time.

She'd always tried to recruit him for S.H.I.E.L.D. Not just as an Avenger, but as a scientist. As an agent. He'd finally caved and said yes, not realizing his first mission might be his last.

Not that Fury had actually ordered him to swallow it. But he'd put him in charge of finding a way to destroy it, or at least a way to contain the explosion. And he'd already tried smashing it to pieces. He knew what he needed to do.

Bruce took the device to some remote desert location. He took it out of the case, feeling the energy pulsing in his hands. Unlike the Tesseract, it was bright green. He thought that was sort of ironic.

Being well-acquainted with dark magics has its advantages, especially for one demi-god currently on the run from his would-be brother... and with some injuries to repay.

And so, the high security office Natasha's just been ordered to infiltrate and search for the good of S.H.I.E.L.D.? It's got an unexpected guest waiting for her inside, lounging in one of the executive chairs.

"Agent Romanov," he says with decided relish, swiveling around to face her. "Miss me?"

[ooc: You know what? Continuing from/referencing this thread, and because I can't decide...I'm going with 17 and grabbing things from there. Hopefully this works x.x]

It'd been a long time since he'd been back here in this training area. Not much had changed--though perhaps there were fewer people now, though that was unsurprising considering what they had gone through thanks to him. Someday, he'd finish the job, but that was not why he was there. No, no simple observations this time of human life in the search for power and advantages over his "brother". Nor stupid, ignorant questions.

He was far wiser and more knowledgeable now. And now? He knew why she reacted to him the way she had. Feared him--as she rightly should have done. The memories of their encounter had slipped to the back of his mind once he left her years ago, and he pretended to not have known her when they "met" again for her first time. He'd learnt much about her by that point, but still, he did not reveal everything he knew then.

No, he vowed that once he escaped, he'd have words with that woman where no one could hear them. And he'd make her suffer.

That was why he was there now, lurking in the shadows. His wrists were raw from the shackles he still wore, the chains clutched in his hands to silence them, but he'd take torn skin over the slow and agonizing death of strangulation. A few Asgardians were sent on their way to Valhalla that day in that manner, or else his wrists might not have pained him as much as they did. Even then, it had physically hurt coming to this realm, and he suspected the chains might have had something to do with it but he could not get them off as much as he tried.

But no matter; he was there now and he had something to do. He stepped quietly along the wall, his presence masked, watching the remaining few humans before he slipped into the locker room to wait for her to arrive.
