Conversation 1

*James and Scarlet have been captured by Cerberus, and are cuffed together, back to back in a cargo room. Swearing warning*

James: "Ugh fuck. Feel like I've been partying all night, though shit, the booze just hit me. Hey shortass. Hey!" *nudges Scarlet awake*

Scarlet: *groggy and a bit hoarse* "Huh? James? *shakes hands and hears cuffs* Oh hell. Ugh, I feel like my head was used as drum. Right". *shakes to wake up and shakes James* "Oh crap, sorry! Wasn't aware we we cuffed together".

James: "Yeah yeah shortass. You just wanted to shake me. You know it, I know it". *nudges her again*

Scarlet: "Ha, you wish. Right, now to get out of these cuffs". *fidgets and swears a bit*

James: "Hold on, did you just swear? British people swear? Where's your decorum, stiff upper lip and all that crap?"

Scarlet: "It got lost in translation. Tally ho chaps, pip pip. Now are you happy?"

James: "Sheesh, sorry, shortie".

Scarlet: "No I'm sorry. Just cuffs make me a bit...hot and bothered".

James: "What? Holy shit, you're getting off on this? Well okay, being cuffed to me can have that affect but seriously? Damn, you aren't innocent after all".

Scarlet: "I never claimed that I was. And it's not you, it's the cold metal, and on my pulse point. It's...disturbing my rational thought. That and having to somehow maneuver and not hurt you or touch you and get these cuffs off".

James: "You know if you wanna touch me, you can. Although, I touch back". *smirks*

Scarlet: "The mood I am in, I'd rather rake my hand across barbed wire, no offense".

James: *has no reply for that* "Ahem".

Scarlet: "All shy now? Huh J? Aww. Anyway". *starts to twist her wrists and not hurt James*

James: "You tryin to cut the blood supply off to my hands?"

Scarlet: "Well it would remove the cuffs off of your wrists, no?"

James: *mumbles* "Smartass".

Scarlet: *gets a wrist out of the cuffs but yelps* "Ow. That'll bruise in the morning. Right. *gets a pin out of her hair and twists it in the lock* "Come on, I saw this in movies. I can do this".

James: *laughing* "Oh so you are a movie girl now? That make me the man who gets the girl at the end of the cheesy ass movie?"

Scarlet: *bursts out laughing* "Knew you'd hate those films, thank god someone else does too. Action and shooting movies all the way for me. And voila! Cuffs are off!" *spins around and is an inch away from James' face*

James: "Not bad. Only took ya like 5 minutes. And you really don't shut up do you?"

Scarlet: *waves hands* "You are the one who WOKE me up. Ugh men!" *storms off to hack the cargo door*

James: "Women, typical".

Scarlet: "What was that? I thought I heard a bastard speaking".

James: "Ouch. You hit low blows don't you?"

Scarlet: *huffs* "Sorry, okay? No really, sorry. You really make me mad sometimes. Just stand there and hang on. The door should be open soon. We need some firepower to get out of this one".

James: "Yeah, or just brute force".

Scarlet: "Yeah, like your muscles will take bullets, more likely armor piercing rounds? Ouch. I may know first aid but medi-gel might not fix that hun".

James: "Heh, I may get shot just so you can use that medi-gel".

Scarlet: "James! Don't joke about that. That's horrible!" *sighs*

James: *holds hands up in surrender* "Alright, white flag here, okay?"

Scarlet: "Doors open. Well go on then, Mr Muscle. Do your thing, but don't come crying to me when you get hurt and want me to make it all better".

James: "Don't say that unless you mean it".

Scarlet: "Who says I don't?"

James: "..." *Scarlet ducks around the corner. "Damn".
