*hears something*

Peter?

[di_carlisle]

Harley?

*rushes over*

Oh, Harley, sweetheart. What are you doing here?

[mr-x-tinct.livejournal.com]

Careful, careful! Don't break the window!

[di_carlisle]

Who are you? What are you doing with my son?

[mr-x-tinct.livejournal.com]

Your son?

I found Harley wandering. I just knew someone would come dreaming, looking for him. But you mustn't break that glass, Peter, it could mean madness for you both.

[di_carlisle]

He's my son.

*pleading* How do I get him back?

[mr-x-tinct.livejournal.com]

Normally all you'd need to do is come and visit Wackyland, but then, if you take him back to his sleeping self, you'll have two Harleys. Which would not be good for the universe, oh no.

Hmmm. *consults umbrella*

It may be possible to swap his sleep self for an entity of equal or higher value.

*eyes Natalie*

What about her?

[mr-x-tinct.livejournal.com]

Who is she?

[di_carlisle]

My ex.

[mr-x-tinct.livejournal.com]

You also have an x? Fascinating.

[di_carlisle]

Different kind.

How about it?

[the-red-slayer.livejournal.com]

*stunned*

You're offering me up as some sort of - what? Hostage? Sacrifice?

[di_carlisle]

Trade.

Don't worry, I'll find a trade for you too, and get you out. But this is urgent.

[di_carlisle]

Ah. Turns out, not my ex: psychopathic sadistic tomato. Still interested?

[mr-x-tinct.livejournal.com]

I'll have to discuss it with management. Would you excuse me?

[the-red-slayer.livejournal.com]

Peter.

[di_carlisle]

N-Natalie?

[the-red-slayer.livejournal.com]

*flies at you*

How could you leave me! How you could run off like that - and with a man!

[di_carlisle]

Face it, Natalie, you never loved me like you did Ripley. You had to be talked into leaving him in the first place, and all we had in common was just animal chemistry. I was never a fit exchange in your eyes for Ripley and the kids.

*uncomfortable*

As as for the man, well, that came way after I left you.

[the-red-slayer.livejournal.com]

*disgusted* If I'd known what you... what you were, I'd never have touched you in the first place.

[di_carlisle]

It's not what I was Natalie, it was just... this one man.

[the-red-slayer.livejournal.com]

*slaps you*

No more lies! You wrecked my marriage, you ruined my life and it was all a lie!

[di_carlisle]

I - look, Natalie -

I'm sorry, Natalie. I fucked up. I do that.

Another reason why you''re better off without me.

[the-red-slayer.livejournal.com]

You "fucked up".

Well, I don't think that's good enough. You owe me, you bastard.
