Mercy nods grimly.
"Back to your cell?" She raises an eyebrow as she stoops to retrieve the battered Revenant.

"I'd prefer another solution... please, deal with him, then we'll talk. If, in the end, you want me back in my cell, I'll go there willingly, but I think helping you at least buys me a few minutes of your time first, does it not?"
Her arms are still raised; she seems genuine.

"Fine...but don't think I'm making a habit of trusting the likes of you."
She glares, as if to get her point across, and then drags the fake Revenant into a cell. After that, she teleports across the room and turns said cell on with whichever button presses were required.
"What's your offer?"

"Well, here's the thing. There's obviously no guarentee that you couldn't have taken on both myself and him, but having me on your side helped a lot. You can look at that as oweing me, or you can just ignore it. Whatever."
She pauses.
"All I really want is out of here. I know I hurt your friend, the electric one.... but that was in the heat of battle, and I heard he's going to be okay. The death threats from other members of your group got somewhat fewer.
I.. I made a mistake even coming here. It's Infierno I should be going after. If you let me free, I can promise never to set foot in this building ever again... and if we do cross paths again, I'll be on your side. This mercenary business is over for me."

Mercy frowns, thinking for a few moments.
"I'd really like to believe you, but the thing is...I was lying. I'm not telepathic, not at all."
She sighs reluctantly.
"But I'm willing to comprimise. Nebs...she is a telepath, I wasn't lying about that. So...let me take you to her, or bring her here to see you. Maybe she and you can work something out. I can't guarantee anything...but I'm not sure I could take the entire Protectors team either, so just letting you go is kind of...fishy."

Mistora considers this, then nods.
"That sounds acceptable. Hopefully, if you tell her how co-operative I've been, she'll agree to let me go."
She steps back into her cell.

"I'll let her know. There are some things that I...need to tell a lot of people."
She sighs, turns on Mistora's cell, then proceeds to figure out how to free herself from the room.

True to her word, Mercy tells Nebula what happened. Nebula then reviews the security footage to determine what happened. It turns out Revenant was using some kind of voice alteration device and using the direct-to setting on the com to accomplish the supposed call from her.
After Nebula talks to Mistora a bit, she decides to leave her freedom to the rest of the group... a vote. (This will be cast in a new announcement.)
The next morning, Revenant is discovered missing from his cell. Again, the security footage is reviewed, but the section from around midnight until 2AM is missing. Mistora says she was sleeping the whole time and didn't hear or see anything.
