"Wow." TK shook his head at Diego. "So you're just. A fascist, then."

TK didn't know what a fascist really was. But from his time on the internet, he was pretty sure it meant "person who disagrees with me personally."

"Yeah, I'm gonna have to smack around a raccoon," Steve decided. "You have...let's say three seconds to tell us how to get all the buildings and people back before I start getting annoyed."

"Now, now," Kitty said, "violence isn't the answer. Maybe he just needs some understanding."

Of course, she said good cop words sweetly while really wanting to punch a raccoon but apparently that's life.

Re: Raccoon interrogation

[trashiestking]

"Yes!" TK nodded quickly. "I agree with the human with the pretty hair! You could just . . . let me go, right?"

Re: Raccoon interrogation

[throughaphase]

"We can't do that," Kitty said, apologetic. "A lot of people are missing and we have to find them. But maybe we could make you comfortable?"

Miguel gave Kitty such a look. He was pretty sure he knew what she was doing, but still!

"Or we could tie you up and string you from the ceiling," he offered.

Re: Raccoon interrogation

Steve shot him a glare. There was a difference between threatening vaguely and stringing people--raccoons--suspects--from a ceiling. "We all know we're not doing that," he said firmly.

Re: Raccoon interrogation

[what_the_shock]

"I will absolutely do that if it helps us get answers," Miguel said, crossing his arms. "I have webbing; we don't even need a hook."

Maybe this was why he didn't get it when people said he was a good guy.

Re: Raccoon interrogation

“Do you all need a minute to sort this out?” TK asked. “I can wait outside.”

He would run if he went outside. Obviously.

"Just keep your furry ass where it is," Diego said, holding out a hand. "And hope we can talk this weirdo down from doing whatever it is he's talking about to you."

Webbing, really?

Re: Raccoon interrogation

[what_the_shock]

"You're not the one that needs to talk," Miguel said, giving the raccoon a pointed look.

Hey, he'd learned "bad cop" from Sabertooth. Subtle wasn't exactly it.

“Hey,” Liam murmured in an undertone to his fellow interrogators. “Not to paint all raccoons with the same brush, but the ones who made off with Stark’s mask last year did so because were awfully fond of shiny things. Maybe this guy,” he tilted his head in the direction of the raccoon, “would like a shiny thing to call his own?”

Re: Raccoon interrogation

[throughaphase]

"Do we have shiny?" Kitty asked in a low voice.

Re: Raccoon interrogation

[trashiestking]

TK watched them talk amongst themselves and wished he had a hole right now.

He was maybe trying to edge slowly out of his seat. How dumb were humans? Dumb enough to fall in holes, sure, but they built, like, houses. Maybe their vision was based on movement?

Re: Raccoon interrogation

[grenadesandohana]

"I see that," Steve told him, "and I will absolutely tackle you again if you don't cut it out. But we're not completely unreasonable here."

Well. Other than "let's string up the raccoon guy."

He toyed with his shiny, shiny practically indestructible, stupidly expensive SEAL-issued watch, making eye contact with the raccoon. "We might be able to make a deal."

Re: Raccoon interrogation

[knife_bender]

Well it's a good thing Steve had that watch, because the only shiny thing Diego had was knives and that might be a little threatening.

"What do you say, Ranger Rick?" Diego asked.

Re: Raccoon interrogation

[trashiestking]

Oh shit. That looked pretty fucking special. TK leaned in, trying to get a better look. The Trash King would totally reward him if he brought back something that shiny!

. . . And if he didn't bring it in at all, maybe he could just have something that shiny!

". . . We can maybe make a deal," he said carefully. "What do you want to know?"

Re: Raccoon interrogation

[what_the_shock]

"How do we get our people out of the holes for a start," Miguel said. "And how do we stop any more of them?"

Re: Raccoon interrogation

[trashiestking]

TK rubbed his little raccoon paws together, eyes glued on that watch.

"I don't know," he said. "I just use the holes, I don't make 'em."

Re: Raccoon interrogation

[firstofitskind]

Well that was something, at least.

"Of course," Liam nodded. "Can you tell us anything about who does?"

Re: Raccoon interrogation

[throughaphase]

"Or what the holes are used for? Something?" Kitty asked.

She'd been a single parent with no clues for way too long here, give her something.

Re: Raccoon interrogation

[trashiestking]

“And then you’ll give me that thing?” TK asked, making grabby hands at the watch.

Re: Raccoon interrogation

[grenadesandohana]

"Maybe," Steve said, glaring. "You haven't told us jack yet and I'm entirely out of patience. If you're a low level, useless raccoon with nothing to tell us, you don't deserve shiny watches."

Re: Raccoon interrogation

[knife_bender]

"Just tell us something useful already," Diego snapped, entirely out of patience himself. "You're lucky the watch is even on the table."

Re: Raccoon interrogation

[trashiestking]

TK looked at him. Then at the watch.

“I am a very important raccoon,” he said. “I was the first one to earn a catapult!”

He pointed to Diego.

“Maybe I’ll catapult you later. Can humans fly?”
