“It’s a bomb. Very simple. A block of explosives rigged to a timer. Any time I call the right number, the timer will reset.
Ahhh.
And she said she had 15 minutes when she last called the number.
Better not run out of battery, Cherish… which you were, last we checked your phone.
I did make the mistake of letting my phone battery die, but I figure I’ve still got a couple of minutes. If you keep me here for any longer than that, I go kablooie.”
Yeeeah, that’s a problem. So after she’s done here, she’s got a very short time limit to charge her phone, or find another phone, so that she can avoid going kablooie anyway. That, or to get rid of the bomb, and I suspect that’s easier said than done considering it appears to be primarily intended as a safeguard against body control.
“Is that a threat? Sounds like a win for me.”
That depends on the size of the explosion, does it not?
“You’ll probably get blown up as well. Or maimed,” she smiled.
“I could walk away.”
True. He’d have time.
…again, depending on the size of the explosion.
“And lose control over your minions as you get further away? Please do. I can make the call when you’re gone.”
Don’t forget you need an active phone to do that.
Man, imagine if she does forget that, accidentally kablooies herself, and both Bitch and Hookwolf end up on the team as a result.
That… would be silly, but not all that satisfying as a use of the first of Alec’s family to appear in person.
