Ace of clubs giggled "That honesty is going to get you killed, or punished at least, but is good you have checked it out before, at least that way you won't be shocked at our 'lab rats' I really can't talk in front of patients and I need Jack of Clubs authorization for taking an student so any confidential information to be shared will need to wait, if you come by the research lab tonight we can make the arrangements though" she was glad to have someone around to help at last "Now, what can we do meanwhile is find out, just how much about medicine do you know eight?"
((good night lyka!! *takes a free hug*))

"SON OF A b***h! JABBERWOCKY SON OF A b***h!"
The screams of the Ace of drifted through the halls once again, even causing Gestalt to shudder.
Jack of Diamonds put a finger to his lip, glancing upwards pretending to be deep in thought.
"Well, he's a strong one, wouldn't you say? If he was able to survive that," Jack of Diamonds signaled to the picture, "Then maybe he can survive forty-eight hours. Perhaps updating his life file with that picture would be illogical; it would be better if I had it in my jacket."
It would be better for blackmail anyway.
Loud banging drifted down the halls, followed by screams that were becoming dryer.
Despite the logic in Jackie's argument and the evident pain the Ace of Hearts was in, Gestalt held his tongue. He knew his master wouldn't hesitate to punish him if he uttered one wrong word.
"Let's give him . . . another hour," the Jack of Diamonds said, "And I'll decide what to do with him." The look on his face quickly turned into a sinister glare. "Snooping through confidential papers is not forgiveable and certainly needs a punishment that will force that lesson into his mind. But . . . if he is really going to die if I leave him in for over thirty-two hours . . . I'll reconsider. He is an excellent Suit, after all."

Jackie smiled, Jack of diamonds was a funny man, no matter how scary he was, but he was the controlling type so if she wanted to make him take Ace of hears out of there she would need to make it appear as if it was his idea "Well, Jack of diamonds sir, you are undiscernibly right, I guess I was just being a silly child trying to give suggestions to you sir, I was just thinking on how low we are getting on good staff lately but you are right I must be subestimating Ace of heart's capabilities, why, a man that can scream so lovely can't possibly be about to die can he?" her smile didn't fade at any moment, she really couldn't care less about the place that picture ended, she would probably still need to ask though, but the physical health of the suits was a different issue, jack of hearts was already missing and by the sound of Ace's voice he would need to visit the infirmary when he was out, just what she needed more delays
((( Mr. Jack of diamonds.... can I get out from here? ace of hearts is scaring me....)))

Jack of Diamonds sighed deeply. She's toying with me . . . the little brat. Still, she is right. Besides, I'd love to see what he looks like now. I know he'll be a bloody mess.
"Jacks," he said, breaking the silence, "Follow me."
The Jack of Diamonds walked swiftly to the solitary confinement chamber, the Ace of Hearts' screams becoming shorter and raspier.
"Jack of Clubs," he said smoothly, "Release him."
"Yes, Sir," Gestalt replied, unlocking the door slowly and opening it.
Immediately, the Ace of Hearts withdrew into a corner, using one hand to shield his eyes and the other holding out a bloody knife.
"Don't come any closer!" Ace of Hearts cried, his voice cracked, "Don't come any closer or I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'm an Ace of Hearts! I'll kill you! I'll kill you!"
Jack of Diamonds scanned the Ace of Hearts. His head is leaking blood . . . and his ankles are sliced all over. He was mutilating himself in here . . . and attempted suicide with the wall instead of his blade. My is the solitary confinement punishment my favorite.
"I'll kill you," Ace of Hearts continued to chant. "I'll . . . I'll slice you to ribbons . . . I'll," The Ace of Hearts paused, his breaths shaking and odd sounds coming from deep in his throat. Seconds later, the Ace of Hearts bent over and forced out whatever was in his stomach.
((I am proud to be crazy. cool ))

Jackie's smile didn't fade nor did it increase, Jack of diamonds probably found her out, his sigh gave him away, still she just followed in silence but when she saw the shape Ace of hearts was in she couldn't suppress a small giggle, she was somehow glad at the sight of real blood and not just the one in her mind, she breather in the sweet mix of blood, sweat and pain before grabbing him by the back of his head and speaking to him "Snap out of it Ace, or maybe you rather go back to that room?" she said smirk on face and letting him go afterwards, she cleaned her hand inside her pocket and then remembered the picture so she turned her attention to Jack of Diamonds "Should I make you a copy of the picture Jack of diamonds sir?" she said smiling again.
((I am glad you are crazy, but I am even more glad Jack of diamonds didn't kill Jackie for trying to manipulate him))

((Nah, he'll just b***h slap her ;D
Jack of Diamonds: *b***h slaps Jackie* >.> solitary confinement, Jackie? I'm old enough to be your father you know. That last statement I made has no relevance to this conversation, but I felt the need to throw it in there. talk2hand ))
Ace of Hearts gasped. "No! Please! Get me out of here! Anything but this! I want out! Please!" He began to tremble once more, a tear rolling down his cheek as he brought a shaky blade-bearing hand to his ankle.
The Jack of Diamonds resisted a smile, watching the Ace of Hearts in such a state. Still, he glanced at Jackie. "Please, do." he whispered. "And be sure to document his maddened sate into his files too. The more to material to use as blackmail for Mr. Victor Shayn . . . the better."

Jackie smiled a little more Victor Shayn, Ace of hearts name, he would not recognize it of course "Will do immediately, Jack of diamonds Sir" She said bowing deeply, knowing better not to push her luck for the time being, she took a small camera out of her pocket and took a picture of Ace of Hearts state for the report "Ace of hearts, just go to the infirmary, don't display this kind of behavior again unless you want another 48 hours on solitary confinement, oh, and don't mention what happened if you know what is good for you" they didn't need people telling him he had been gone for no more that a couple hours.
(( Jackie: I know Sir * looks at Jack of diamonds with puppy eyes *
me: well you know how kids usually control their parents XD ))

((Jack of Diamonds: ...>.> slap her too, Jack of Clubs.
Gestalt: Right away. *slaps* talk2hand ))
Ace of Hearts gasped, his trembling hand dropping his knife. Whimpering, he got to his feet, shoving Gestalt aside and running with a limp all the way to the infirmary, leaving his weapons behind.
The Jack of Diamonds allowed himself to smile, revealing a sinister grin. "Don't you feel privileged, Jack of Spades and Jack of Clubs," he said, a hint of laughter in his voice, "To see the Ace of Hearts in his worst condition . . . twice? Ah, it reminds me of the days when the Ace of Spades stayed silent after shooting his lover in the head."
The Jack of Diamonds chuckled, fixing his eyes on his silent servant.
"Jack of Clubs," he said, "The Ace of Hearts tainted your uniform with his blood."
Gestalt lowered his head, somehow seeing the bloody hand print Ace of Hearts left on him as he shoved him aside.
"Hmm, indeed he has," Gestalt murmured.
"Get yourself a clean uniform. And you, Jackie," Jack of Diamonds turned his gaze. "Finish Victor's life files and carry on with what you were doing before." His eyes returned to the solitary confinement chamber. "I'll find someone to clean up this mess."
The Ace of Hearts stumbled into the infirmary, gasping and wheezing as his bloody hands slipped on the door frame.
"A-Anyone in there?" he called, attempting to keep his raspy voice calm.

((hey!!! what was that for??? *rubs cheek while mumbling and cursing*))
Jackie dedicated Jack of diamonds a sad smile before speaking "privileged to be your pawn, Jack of Diamonds sir" She then Walked away without waiting for a response.
Ace of clubs saw Ace of hearts enter and ran to his side "What happened to you?!" He was almost fainting and in such a bad shape, he had certainly not bee in such state just a couple hours ago.
((Can we say time flows differently in wonderland and the real world??))

((Sure; it would make sense. ;D))
"Oh, heh . . .you know," Ace of Hearts said, shuffling his feet and forcing a laugh.
I can't tell her . . . one more minute in that chamber will lead me to suicide!
"Th-the loose jabberwocky . . . yeah . . . that attacked me," Ace of Hearts forced another laugh, catching himself from falling.
The Ace of Hearts lowered his head, feeling as though he was going to burst into another screaming fit. Instead, he attempted to act as natural as possible, forcing laughs and smiles.
"Solitary confinement?" Two managed to croak, observing the bloody mess the Ace of Hearts was.
Ace of Hearts shuddered at the very mention of his torture. Damn that sharp Two . . .
"Solitary confinement?!" Ace of Hearts forced a loud laugh. "Solitary confinement . . . heh! That's for the bad Suits who don't follow orders. Surprised you haven't been thrown in there, Two. Heh . . . solitary confinement. HA! I was attacked . . . by the loose jabberwocky!"

Ace of Clubs approached Ace of Hearts quickly and lend him support, he needed to lay down, the poor thing could barely stand up "Stop forcing your self you fool" she said noticing his vain intents to appear calm and cheerful, was he an idiot? the fact that he was trying so hard to hide the truth did nothing to help him either.
Ace of clubs heard two's comments and after Ace of hearts response there was not much of a doubt, but solitary confinement? how could solitary confinement do this to a person? then again, people had different physiological weaknesses, for her waiting was her life so solitary confinement wouldn't be that bad, but Ace of hearts was a different story, he was probably used to different things, the question still was: what could Ace of hearts be punished for? when she left him a couple hours ago he was about to give three of hearts his files, there was nothing wrong in that it must had been afterwards.
But for the time being that was irrelevant "Two, i swear if i hear one more sound from your mount before your throat heals i won't let you off that bed until you are fully healed, and that includes your mental sanity, i don't care if you are on a mission or anything" She would tie him to bed if she needed to "Now, as for you Heart, just lay down and let me take a good look at you, you don't need to tell me how this happened if you can't, just try to get yourself back together while i examine you" Ace of heart's wounds where not jabberwocky wounds, that much was clear to her.
Jackie made her way back to the files room, there was a copier in there so she could make a copy of the two pictures from Ace of hearts and fill in the report on the same place, why exactly did Jack of diamonds wanted to have Ace of Hearts Black mailed? Well she was not sure but she had a pretty good idea.
As jack of spades she was a pawn of Jack of Diamonds but the Jack of heart had always been a puppet, nothing more than a facade for the true face under wonderland's regimen, the truth was the king and queen had made no decisions whatsoever on wonderland's ruling for a while now, too busy at their constant croket games and unbirthday parties to notice just who was ruling the country for them, she was still uncertain about the reason of leave of the last Jack of hearts bur she knew if Ace of hearts was to become jack he wouldn't hold much power if he was being black mailed by the Jack of diamonds, not to count his life being on the line... If jack of diamonds ordered it, Jack of clubs or even she, herself, could kill him in the blink of an eye, that was the reason behind the Jack of Hearts being in charge of the files, a dull and tiring job to make him forget his uselessness.

Two rolled his eyes, knowing that the Ace of Clubs was dead serious. He closed his eyes, scoffing under his breath.
There's no doubt about it . . . that's solitary confinement. The Ace of Hearts thinks I was never thrown in there? He's dead wrong. I spent twenty-four hours in there and the Jack of Diamonds told me I had a gun to my head when he was about to release me . . . and the gun had no bullets left. Still, the Jack of Diamonds didn't give me the full thirty-two hours because according to him . . . I'm one of his best combatants. A small smile crept on Two's face. I much like Spade tradition, calling a Two who is on the brink of being an Ace a "One". The Three isn't a follower of this tradition, but he will certainly like it twelve months after I'm promoted.
Ace of Hearts stared at the ceiling through blurry glasses, his head now feeling light and his ankles burning. He couldn't keep his body from trembling as he stared blankly. That room is . . . it's a nightmare. A sheer nightmare . . . that no one deserves to be it.
"F-forty-eight hours," Ace of Hearts whispered, hugging his chest. "Forty-eight hours . . . two . . . two-thousand-eight-hundred-eighty-minutes . . . one-hundred-seventy-two-thousand-eight-hundred seconds . . . one-hundred-seventy-two-thousand-eight-hundred seconds . . . two-thousand-eight-hundred-eighty minutes . . . two . . two-th,"
Ace of Hearts rubbed his eyes beneath his glasses, whining and whimpering out of control.
"M-Marchy? Are you there?"
Ace opened his eyes slowly, taking in the clean smell of the hospital. The space beside him was empty. He was alone in his bed.
Was it all a dream?
Ace sighed, leaning back. My god I need a shower . . . and some clean clothes. The Ace of Spades shuddered at the very thought of how dirty he was.
He placed a hand on the space beside him. It was still a bit warm and the sheets were wrinkled.
It wasn't a dream . . . so that means that I did recover memories yesterday . . . and my name is Raven Locke.
Ace smiled, almost unaware of the wounds on his body. Raven Locke . . . current Ace of Spades. That seems like a secret agent's code name. Ace chuckled to himself.
I hope I'm released from here soon.
((Exel: I meant to say much earlier that Jackie's and Ace of Clubs' pasts are REALLY interesting!))

((why, thank you Serene, XD))
Ace of clubs made her way to the cabinets, first she extracted a big metal recipient, she filled it with bandages, hydrogen peroxide, she would need a lot of that, would Ace of hearts need stitches? she took the surgical needle just in case together with sterilized scissors, scalpels, forceps, clamps, dilator and specula, just how bad his wounds where she didn't knew yet "Well, i didn't mean for a practical exam but let's see just how good you can mange eight" She said smiling at the boy, yes, let's see how good WE can manage, she would need to strip Ace down to check for all the damage, a light blush crossed her cheeks at that thought but she pushed it back reminding herself that Ace of hearts was but a patient right now.
When she had gathered all she might need she placed it on a metal table with wheels and positioned it next to Ace of hearts bed, She placed the instruments in the order they would be needed and went away to fill the recipient whit water to rinse the wounds "this might be useful" she murmured when she saw a bottle of lithium near by, she came back with the water, sterilized tissues and lithium, it was time to start, she placed the water and tissues on the table and then took out two capsules of lithium "Take this Ace of hearts" She barely ever referred to him like that, but she was being serious and he needed to know that, this was a medical procedure and not some play-mad-time.
Marcie had gone 'home' for a while to take a bath and a change of clothes, she was now wearing a red, long sleeved shirt, black tight pants and black boots, she was holding her black cardigan coat under her arm "Oh, you are finally awake i see, i couldn't wake you up when the nurse came for lunch, are you hungry?" She said taking a sip to her bottle of iced tea, since Raven was still asleep when she came back she went to get something to drink, she hadn't eaten since yesterday but she wasn't hungry at all.
Jackie finished typing in the report and rubbed her eyes, the dim light that the candles gave to this windowless room always made her eyes tired and that added to the dizziness she was getting for such a delay on her medication did nothing to help, she could feel the beating of her heart up on her head and had she been able to feel pain Jackie had no doubts she would have had a migraine by now.
When Jackie was satisfied by the details she attached the picture to the file and sent it to print three times, once for the fake files, one for her data since she needed to remember the last things that happened and one for Jack of Diamonds 'private collection', she sighed at the idea, good thing she wasn't old enough to have any dirt on her yet, killing was not considered half bad in here so she was safe for now at least.
When the job was done she exited the door, covering her eyes at the sudden change in lights and blinking a couple times to readjust herself. how long had she spent inside? well, not long enough because there was still too much light outside. Jackie started to make her way to Jack of diamonds 'room' she could never be sure if it was his room or not, with how much fake information there was around she decided to just slide the sealed envelope with the files and pictures inside under the door and started to walk away. The envelope was labeled 'Jack of diamonds' so even if that was not his room no one would dare open it.
((i don't mean to be bitchy but can you stop throwing the extra C on my pen name?.... it reminds me of Microsoft excel instead of me XD))

(HOLY SHNITZEL! I MISSED A LOT! XD LONG POSTS FTW!)
Eight moved to the side of the bed, checking the Ace of Hearts.
"Heh...seems these wounds..." he gently flipped the Ace's limbs over "are self-made....the angles from which these came from...can't be from an outsider or another person..." he remarked with an emotionless face. "It seems a lot of mental toll has been taken out of you..." Eight said, constantly watching Ace's breathing pattern and pulse.
"Hm...solitary confinement..." a tranquil voice sounded from the other side of Two's bed.
Three had his usual coldness back, with no trace of any humanity remainng.(I fail at medical stuff...I need to research XD)

((OMG I'm SO sorry, Exel! >_< I misread your name! SORRY!))
Ace of Hearts stiffened. "Self inflicted? You lousy Eight! Self-mutilation is for maddies! I'm not mad!" He turned his head to the Three.
"And you, Three, I said already that it wasn't solitary confinement!"
Ace of Hearts reached a shaky hand for the lithium, still breathing uneasily. "H-How am I supposed to . . . take this?" Ace of Hearts asked, attempting to keep his voice calm. "And what is this?"
His eyes met the Eight of Clubs, gritting his teeth as his eyes scanned his ankles. The little brat; he knows what I did.
Two kept his eyes on the Ace of Hearts, enjoying the sight of the one who bossed him around whining in pain. Serves him right. He obviously did something to upset the Jack of Diamonds. Just when I thought he was worthy of the Ace title. Still . . . that behavior is very out of character for Ace of Hearts. He isn't lying well enough by talking like that. We can all see through it . . . He must have seen something horrifying to have become this mad. . .
Ace's eyes met Marcie, his heart fluttering. "Marchy!" he called, his childish smile returning. "I was wondering where you went, dear!" Ace laughed, considering what to eat.
"Something to eat? Well . . . I would love some chocolate, but I don't suppose that is suitable for lunch." Ace chuckled, tapping his lip. "I suppose some soup will do . . . just as long as it isn't a soup with meat. Lord knows what those animals ingested." Ace shuddered, a grimace forming on his face.
"The Ace of Hearts' life files have arrived," murmured, picking up the folder and handing it to his master on one knee.
Jack of Diamonds gently grabbed the folder, opening it and sliding out the latest picture of the Ace's madness.
"Lovely," he whispered, his eyes tracing the crumpled figure of the Ace of Hearts, covered in blood and cuts.
"There's no way he will revolt, Gestalt," Jack of Diamonds said, breaking the silence. "No matter what he tries, he's still under my strict control. That silly plan of his will be a mere dream of his once I use these as blackmail."
