Misery Loves Company - Test Scene
Himon sits in his cell as he has every day for the last month, plotting a way out of this predicament. Twice now, he has knocked out the guards and gotten as far as the entrance to the holding pens before his grandfather has caught him. Each time, the Omega Beams hit him from seemingly nowhere and he finds himself back in his cell, considering a new plan of escape.

The cell across from him was empty until yesterday, when they brought the newest prisoner in. Upon seeing her, Himon's face paled in shock. The beating his cousin Hope had taken was vintage Kalibak, which meant that Hope had fought back. He knew she would, because that was the kind of person Hope was. But Hope fought when she /had/ to, rather than for the sake of hurting people.

Kalibak held no such compunctions.

As she stirs, Himon watches her, struggling to maintain impassive. He understands the psychology of putting them in the same area together, but the real question is /why/?

What is Darkseid hoping to obtain?

	Hope cracked her knuckles, circling her wrists to get the blood flowing. "You sound almost surprised, cousin." Hope said, grinning. She picked up the fallen Paredemon's mace. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Only that you let him get a couple of hits in first before you sent one over to me." he grins, going to retrieve the mace of the other fallen guard.

"Come, we need to hurry." Himon says, helping her to her feet, then turning to go to the door.

He checks on the fallen slave, finding that she has died from her injuries. Himon closes the woman's eyes and is silent for a brief moment.

"Some days, I wish Father really would kill Darkseid. The universe would be better for it." Himon grumbles.

Then he leads Hope out of the cells and down an alternate route to exit the back of the Holing Pens.

There are two Parademons on patrol, and Himon brings his mace down on the head of the first one.

	Hope nodded. "It would," she said. "I do not see why he is allowed to live." Hope brought down her mace on the other Parademon. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The second Parademon goes down without trouble, its eyes rolling back in its head. "All right. Since we avoided the guards, our best bet is to head straight for the Fire Pits and on to Mas Edda. Perhaps we can find some clothing and disguise ourselves. Follow me." Himon says, hoping that the alarms don't start in too soon. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Hope nodded, following Himon. "Lead the way." (Reply to this)(Parent)
