Escape from that

[socksrocks]

Assassin AU/Escape From Science

It's always in the name of humanity and science (unless you're unlucky enough to get one of those mad, villainous scientists addicted to sadistic 'fun') but it always comes with costs. That cost was supposed to be you, but someone had another idea, didn't you?


The idea:
No matter what flavor, we all enjoy a good capture and escape story. Be it Assassin's Creed, WestWorld, Shawshank Redemption, Portal, there's something exhilarating in watching people overcome insurmountable odds that are unfairly stacked against them. Or, perhaps, yours is a story that doesn't overcome those odds. No matter - be your ending happy or sad, use this open prompt post to play out your escapist nature.

Comment with your character - Suggest the setting you want to play in. Is it in Abstergo Industries, or perhaps in the depths of the Empire's training schools? The forests of an abandoned island or the labs of your local psychopath? It doesn't matter where you're escaping from, so long as you find someone to help you do it.

Prompts:
• A cabin in the woods
• A creepy hedge maze
• Trapped in a haunted house
• Kidnapped for experiments/guarding said experiments.
• The Hunger Games
• Your own canon, at any terrible point
• Escaping the undead rage of Jason X in Space
• (Really, what I'm saying is that it can be anything. Have fun)

[Happy to be the trapped or the rescuer! crossovers and ocs welcome.]

[There was a reason that Robin had been nicknamed the Boy Hostage. Not that Dick had ever enjoyed the fact, and the others probably enjoyed it even less, but they did have a knack for getting themselves into these sorts of scrapes. The universe hates them. They can be the swiftest or the smartest or the strongest, but they can't thwart this particular aspect of the job.

Actually, they're both captives right now. Does bad Robin luck ever wear off? Dick can only hope as he twists to get his arms in front of him.]

Ready to blow this popsicle stand?

[Really feeling an Assassin AU, or escape from a Meta!proof maze. Always the escapist... Unless you've got a really interesting idea.

I'm easy.]

because we already talked about it >.>

There was no question why they took an interest in him, nor was it any surprise that when they set out to actually bring him in that there was nothing he could do about it. Caius Vitale was immortal, but not untouchable.

Fiona warned him. She told him that something didn't feel right and when that gut of hers told her as much, it was hard not to listen. So Caius spent weeks looking over his shoulder, looking for anyone who may have been suspicious. It was all easier said than done, as the saying went, especially in a place like Los Angeles.

This would be far easier if the ones hunting him were immortals.

They got him in his apartment with a tranquilizer before transporting him to some 'secret' facility that was every bit as cold and disturbing as the movies made them out to be. It was there that they conducted experiments of the most inhumane kind. Pure fodder for the nightmare kind.

When Caius woke the first time, his head hurt; a mild stinging at both sides of his temples. What he didn't realise until his hand went up to feel the small metal circlet that was keeping the open hole from healing. The discovery of that sent a loud holler throughout the corridors.

Experiments went on for days and to the point where most of his awake time was spent drifting in and out of his mind; delirious and incoherent, dreaming lucidly of an underwater city, a maze and repeated flashes of the color purple.

Marco... Polo..

Perhaps it was a blessing in disguise when, as part of their research, they left Caius for a day to note how long it would take for his regeneration to fully heal him; a result that shocked them beyond everything else and started an excitement over what it meant for the world of medicine.

What they didn't factor in was that the immortal had once been an actor and when he came to, it wasn't long before his mind was hatching a plan to escape. The only problem that needed precise work was how to get out of the glass cell they put him in.

Suddenly, alarms started to go off. Blue eyes shot open and though he was still groggy, Caius knew what it meant..

And didn't mean for him. With someone else attempting their own escape, it wouldn't take long before the entire place was locked down.

[Been known to break out of and escape from some crazy places in his time. Crossovers, AUs and OCs are as welcomed as canonmates.]

[frostyfelon]

[OOC: From one escape artist to another, maybe they've found themselves sharing a cell in a HYDRA facility and have to help eachother escape? Oops, Snart was dropped on the wrong Earth. Just another day with the Legends.

I can write the starter if you're good with the idea. Also, prose or bracket?]
