STUCK IN AN ELEVATOR MEME

You enter the elevator with only one other person on it. Twenty seconds into the ride and it stops. The power is stuck. The doors won't open, you're between floors, and no one is answering your calls. You're stuck with this person for an unknown amount of time.

He gave a little shrug, hands still in his jacket pockets, "Because I look like the kind of guy who touches strangers for no reason?" It came out a little more sharply than he'd meant it to, and he sighed, jaw tightening for a three count before relaxing again.

"Sorry, that was rude. Me and enclosed spaces don't really get along." And if he'd been alone, he would have just pried the doors open and shimmied up to the upper floor, because the way the readout was blinking back and forth between two numbers led him to believe they were between floors.

"That's funny. Me and most people don't really get along, so I guess we're both shit outta luck." One might have expected a two-hundred-plus year old ghoul to have stopped the whole sarcastic teenager bit a long time ago, but Cooper's mouth had always been what had gotten him into situations. Hell, it was what had turned him into a ghoul in the first place.

He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair in a self-soothing movement. It did little to calm the voice inside of him telling him to feed. Control, that was the key. Don't lost control was the mantra he kept repeating to himself. "Ignore me. I'm less than pleasant company when I'm hungry."

"I'm pretty sure that's everybody." He replied with a huff that almost managed to be a laugh but didn't quite make it there. He eyed the intercom with some trepidation before extracting his right hand from his pocket so that he could thumb the button, unsurprised when it appeared to be dead too.

"They've got ten minutes, after that I make my own exit." It was hard to tell if he was joking about that, really.

"Yeah, well, most people can't hurt someone badly when they're hungry." He doesn't elaborate at all on the cryptic statement. Most people didn't believe in ghouls and he wasn't in the mood to do the whole 'Yes, the supernatural is real' shtick.

Cooper raised an eyebrow at Bucky's threat. "What'cha planning to do? Punch right through the door?"

[iknewhim]

"Might be exactly what I'm planning." He replied with an utterly nonchalant shrug, the kind of movement that was too calculated to be natural, but just natural enough that it fooled most people.

"Though through would be overkill, just pry the doors open, slide to the floor below, safer than trying to climb up." Elevators usually returned to the ground floor in the case of an emergency, regardless of what direction they'd been going when they stopped.
