Eclypsa desperately tied the rope and started tying the next man up. She had dosed all of the men's food with a powerful sedative that would last several hours. She hoped that her dosage was right, though most of the men were of similar height and weight, there were a couple of anomalies and the dosage might be off so Eclypsa raised the dose a little. In case someone woke up early, she decided to tie everyone up but it was easier said than done. Eclypsa panted, hefting another man up into a sitting position and tying him back to back with another. It has taken hours and all of them were so much larger than her but she didn't want them to aspirate in their vomit if she dosed them wrong. Arms and back burning she tied up the last man and laughed triumphantly. Hopefully James finished taking care of the men who didn't eat and was meeting up with Captain America soon.

Eclypsa turned and was about to leave but spotting a gun on the ground, she hesitated before picking it up. Then she headed towards the stairs and started going down. Sounds of explosions and men being hit floated up towards her. Maybe the main stairs weren't a good idea. Eclypsa backed up and went back into the room she just left to go into the back stairs. Halfway there a terrific bang made her turn and she saw Bane charge into the room.

He looked horrific, burns and bruises showed up on his face while blood leaked onto the floor. "Eclypsa, stop," he called. She paused. "Why?"

Bane looked pained, "I have to explain? Please Eclypsa, please come with me." She turned away but didn't leave. Eclypsa knew she had to shut him down once and for all. "Bane. I can't go with you. I don't WANT to go with you."

"Why, is it-"

Eclypsa whipped around hissing, "Look, with you, I'm always going to on the run, I want a home! I don't want to be running all the time! I don't even like you!" Bane looked hurt and grabbed her, "I've only treated you with the greatest respect!"

Eclypsa shrugged him off, "No you haven't! You've manhandled me, threatened me, and if I've ever stepped out of line you hurt me! No love is worth fear!"

Bane sighed, "You are something special. Something that I have to have. Why can't you accept that?"

Eclypsa turned in disbelief, "I am not an object for you to possess!"

"You're coming with me whether you want to or not, you're mine!" With an animalistic snarl, Bane launched himself just as Eclypsa drew the trigger.
