Good Ending/Bad Ending meme
Do you get a happily ever after? Or a 'Rocks fall, everyone dies'? Why not both?

* Post your characters and set up two scenes. One with an ideal setting (They got what they always wanted, hit it big, became rich and famous, etc.) and one with a bad twist of events (They're homeless, everyone hates them, maybe they're even dying!).
* Others respond to one of the two settings (Or both in different comments, if they want!)
* Respond.
* ???
* Profit!!!

Just remember: no ending is set in stone, good endings can turn sour, and bad endings can be made better. Just see where it takes you and enjoy the ride!

	Bruce tenses for a second when the door opens, thinking she was going to be dragged out again. His heart rate spikes and triggers another release of sedative and he groans, thunking his head back against the wall. "See you later..." he mumbles through the haze spreading across his vision. It was almost like he was getting used to it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She smiled, quick and sharp and much more like she'd been the first time, "Count on it." It was a few nights later, sometime well after lights out, that she returned, slipping into his cell with that same crooked grin, giving a low whistle to get his attention. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	This he hadn't been expecting. His eyes open almost immediately at the whistle before he frowns in confusion. Sitting up as quietly as he can so as not to jangle his chains. "What...how did you get in here?" he whispers, not sure if they can be heard or seen. Presumably there was a camera still in here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Another small smile, settling herself crosslegged on the floor near the door, "Someone forgot to lock my cage." She tapped a finger against her temple, not sure if he'd seen the helmet they usually kept her in or not. She kept her voice low, but didn't seem concerned, "They've got eyes and ears everywhere, from time to time, but not right here, not right now." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The possibility that he was not being watched was exciting...but Bruce was careful not to get too excited, taking a slow breath before sitting up calmly. "Good to know. Who are you? I mean...they called you Seven." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She shot a glare at him, "I know they did. But that's a title, not a name." She was twisting her fingers in the hem of her shirt, shaking her head again, "My name's Lucy. Lucy Weaver, they aren't going to make me forget that, even though they're trying." She cocked her head then, almost a nod, "How about you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He rubs the bridge of his nose tiredly. "Bruce...Bruce Banner. I'm a scientist, or was." Till his experiment turned him into a monster. "Nice to meet you, Lucy." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lucky_no_7 2012-01-25 10:51 pm UTC (link)
	"Nice to meet you, Bruce." She replied, leaning back against the wall, keeping an eye on him and an eye on the corridor outside, "Your chances are better than I keep telling them. Sometimes. It's ... complicated." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I don't doubt that. Probabilities are difficult enough on their own..." He can't imagine what they would be like to see all of them all the time. "You're here though, you could escape." Without him. Bruce would almost want her to go, no need for her or other people to get hurt by his doing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She shook her head, "I don't know where the exits are. I was unconscious when they brought me in. All I know is that we're underground. I know where the exits could be, but that's not something I'm going to risk until I'm sure." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smash_stuff 2012-01-25 11:01 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh..." He probably didn't know much more than her. But if he did manage to trigger an episode, it wouldn't matter much where the exits were. "...have you ever heard of the Hulk?" Worried that she might have, but more worried if she hasn't. She really needed to know what could happen if he agreed to go with her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"A little." She replied, "Before I was a ... guest, here, I was on the run, had to catch my news where I could." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There's really no way to say this without it being awkward. He has an embarrassed look, trying to smile. "...that's me. Part of me, anyway." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Her brow furrowed at that, but she didn't exactly disbelieve him, not yet, "Really? Care to tell me how that one works?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Long sigh. "It was an experiment to increase the resilience of the human body. Something to help people resist radiation. I irradiated myself with gamma radiation...but it had an unexpected result." There's a nudge at the back of his mind and Bruce gives his head a shake as if shaking off a bad memory.

"My whole body transforms, my primal instincts take over, in effect it's a whole new...creature. And I don't have any control over it if it goes that far.

...well, not much. It's not anything I'm aware of." There had been times where it seemed Bruce was in control to a point, but they were few and far between. He was never cognizant of it himself.

	Her head tilted, brow creasing slightly, "So, in essence, you become a giant walking Id. Kinda makes sense, I guess." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Something like that, yeah." He gives her a worried look. "And if I try to escape, I don't know who I would hurt unintentionally." Like her. "The cage isn't the worst thing. I wish I could at least prevent them from using my blood and my research to create more. This thing, the Hulk...they think they can control it as a weapon. But they can't. No one can."

"Cage might not seem that bad to you, but I'll wilt if I stay here much longer. Just waste away until there's nothing left but the predictions."

She shook her head, fingers still tangling in the hem of her shirt, a half-nervous gesture, "There were nine of us altogether, most of them were born in the box, but not me, I was free, got boxed up when I was four and my folks found out how much they could get for me."

Bruce listens quietly. It was awful the way these people treated other human beings. It was enough to make anyone...

No. Not going to get angry.

Not yet.

"You could find a way out though. Play the odds? You must have a big advantage when it comes to that." A small plan forming in his mind. "...is it harder when you have to predict with unknown variables? Would you know if someone was going to get killed if I tried to break out of here?"

"I tried that before." She said, voice having dipped, almost inaudible, fingers brushing against her neck where there'd been bruising before, "They sent one of the ones they've got a leash on after me." She shook her head, "Can't risk it again until I'm sure."

Her brow furrowed at the next question, "Unknowns are always harder to predict, it's ..." She shook her head, "It's like I can see everything that might happen, and as things change those possibilities fold up on each other and the threads wink out until there's only one left. Nine times out of ten I can pick out which one is going to be left, but not always."

He tries not to think too hard about what they did to her. Clear thoughts, that's what he needed.

"I tried to get out in the beginning. My heart rate goes up, they dose me with a sedative. That doesn't work? They flood the room with gas. I've probably spent more time asleep here than awake." Even the IV in his arm was rigged with an alarm if he ever managed to pull it out.

"I'd have to get mad pretty quickly and even then...I don't know. It's dangerous." He leans back against the wall with a sigh, studying the ceiling. "Be nicer if I could sneak out of here instead of punching holes in the walls..." What he really needed was a shot of adrenaline, that would do the trick.

	There was a small smile, "Maybe between the two of us we can come up with something." Her head tilted, brow creasing, "They don't huck you in the pit, do they? Or let you out in the yard for good behavior? You're always in here?" She'd been taken to both locations at least once to predict the probability of escape of both. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Too dangerous to put me anywhere else. Not unless they take me out unconscious for tests."

She did seem determined to take him with her. "Lets say hypothetically I did manage to trigger an episode. The chaos might be enough for you to get away, but I don't know how he would react to you. Er, sorry, I mean the Hulk. He'd try to get himself out but as far as other people go...I can't be sure."

"And I wouldn't really be able to predict anything until it happened, not without a frame of reference, and even then there's still too many unknowns."

Her brow furrowed then at some small sound from outside, "I should go. Surveilance will be moving sectors soon. If you do get out of here, two lefts, two rights and another left, main control room. You could mess up a lot of their operation from there."

	He frowns, committing that information to memory. Presumably the Hulk would remember too, if he cared to use it later on. "Thanks. Be careful and..." he really shouldn't ask this. "...if you're able to find anything to counteract a sedative? Adrenaline, a stimulant, anything...coffee might even work if it's strong enough." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
