((I posted in, RotC, you know.))
Stark sighed deeply. "You...you..." He trailed into silence.

"I got the mission done cleanly, but I also stabbed my superior in the throat and dented our van with his head. One of us would've killed the other if Rufus hadn't stopped us," Anatoly replied. "Skulltap's the only sticker that hasn't made me go spastic yet," he murmured.
((I saw. Wait for Paul/Native or keep going?))

((Your choice.))
Stark spun around. His face was livid with rage. "Yang, you <********> idiot! What the ******** were you doing? Do you even understand what kind of punishment you're going to get? Do you realize exactly what you did?"

"Please, for the love of all things holy, tell me Ithaca Group is exactly as made-up as I expected it to be and Wilde's not going to die," Anatoly groaned, slumping back.

"FORGET THE GODDAMN ITHACA GROUP!" Stark exploded out of his chair, slamming his fists through his desk. Yes, through. "This is a matter of what you did. You assaulted and nearly killed one of my top agents. He will no longer be able to operate at maximum efficiency and will likely need to be replaced. You abused two different Mystickers and used them on a comrade. You are this close to being dismissed, do you get that?"

"I understand perfectly," Anatoly replied. "I... feel very unfit to even be working under you right now, to be honest. But remember why I joined you." He looked Stark in the eye. "I helped you instead of Osiris because I was sick of being walked on."

((Well s**t, you said you were gone! I thought you had already left.))
Stark spun on him. "That does not give you the right to walk on anyone else! Wilde's actions may have been over the top, but that's Wilde. It's what he does. You, on the other hand, have no excuse." Stark pushed a button on his intercom.

"He insulted me and attacked me," Anatoly growled. "I went too far when I lost it but it's his fault I did this to him. I understand that he was a valuable asset, but... never again. I decided when I joined you, I wasn't going to take s**t like that again."

"No," Stark said. "You went too far as soon as you reacted at all. You're supposed to be better than that. Wilde will be punished for what he did, but you, Yang, went overboard just as much."

"So what would you have had me do?" Anatoly snapped back. "Sit there and take it? If I wanted to just take people's bullshit I'd have backed up Osiris instead of you."

"If you can exercise enough restraint to manage yourself for two minutes, then you would not have to face the consequences of what you did!" Stark took a deep breath. "Listen. Wilde will obviously be punished. There's a difference between getting walked on and exercising restraint, which you failed to demonstrate."

"I understand that I failed to exercise restraint," Anatoly replied slowly. "But you are implying that I was wrong to resist Wilde's... Wilde's bullying... at all. I refuse to believe that."

"That is not what I said. I said that you needed to exercise restraint; what you did was not at all restrained. You could have resisted his 'bullying' in a manner that was more...mature!"
