[Sherlock is lying back on his bed - not in the Flop, he's been holed up elsewhere - with the camera trained on his face.]

Well. Now that we're all done being shot at and talking over plans to get shot at in the future, perhaps someone can come up with something else to do.

[Locked to Agent K and Kara Thrace]

I want my things back. Your items are safe.

[Locked to Claire Bennet]

[It isn't public knowledge, but sectors of the government know, and those surrounding the "Specials" know. The public and the majority of the science community think the book is in the pseudo-science genre. ..But Claire kind of exposed herself to the world moments before arriving.

I know. [She says seriously, a weight in her voice.] Believe me, I know. They're not the first big heavily armed mysterious group I've encountered.

And that's also why I'm going to ask you not to spread my special brand of freakyness around. I don't know you any better than anyone else here, and I'm really not in the mood to be captured and experimented on anytime soon.

[NUH UH DON'T TELL HER TO HIDE. HIDING IS BORING AND SHE CAN HELP PEOPLE DONTCHA KNOW. Claire refuses to do the keep herself safe thing okay.

There's a pause before she answers, her voice hard.]

When they come back, I'll be ready.

Good. I don't imagine they were paying that close of attention, but it can't hurt to take precautions.

Didn't think you'd go for the indoor option, sensible as it is. You're very into heroics, aren't you?

[A twinge of defensiveness.] I can't get hurt. If I have this ability, I might as well use it.

By throwing yourself in front of people. Only so long until they notice. What will you do then?

[Private | Audio]

[breakablegirl]

By then I'll be able to shoot back.

If you must insist, make very certain you can.
