*“I need samples.” His entire body bristled at the sound of just that. Fine, so Finitevus considered him a waste. What the fuck ever. It was the knowledge that the echidna also considered him a fun little experimental pincushion that put Scourge on the edge.
Kneejerk reaction said that Scourge wanted to back away when Finitevus stepped closer, leaning on the couch as if he were an old friend. Instinct - and that damned pride - made the hedgehog stand his ground, a soft snarl issuing from his lips as Finitevus continued to speak.*
‘Shouldn’t miss a few things,’ hn? What, you didn’t bash me around and slice me up enough befo—
*FUCK. Gone. The echidna was already toying with him. The goddamn bastard. Growling, Scourge kicked the coffee table over, already running through the apartment to find Fintevus. Who knew what the hell else he’d do while he was here - mind games were the fucker’s specialty.
…and who knew what would happen if she returned when he was still here, especially now that he had the element of surprise, and was on their home turf.*
To hell with your games, Fintevus - where the fuck are you?!
*He didn’t like this feeling of uncertainty, of being watched. Hunted. Scourge was the one who was supposed to be the hunter, not the fucking prey. This was like before, like being stuck in prison, being the low rung of the ladder…being strapped to that fucking gurney in Fintevus’s lab.
He wasn’t going back there.*
Uhuu~ Already this was so much fun.~ Scourge was proving to be some sort of use after all. A break in the daily boring madness.
Finitevus watched the little bugger run aimlessly around from a corner, clearly amused.
‘Oh look how paranoid I’ve made him. So easily agitated.~’ Running from place to place in such a hurry. Pfft— This apartment was pretty small. Built for two at best.. There’s only so many places he could hide. Then again… using warp rings in a game of hide and seek wasn’t exactly playing fair.~
”You entertain me-!~” Coming out at his side, he swung at the hedgehog’s ankle with a painfully familiar blunt object, and then vanishing into a portal once more.
The interesting thing about warp rings was if you were to hold an open ring in front of another, speak into it, your voice would echo and distort slightly. Unfortunately for Scourge, Finitevus was already having a good time. Which meant he was laughing- which also meant that the albino’s laughter was echoing throughout the rooms.
Finitevus loved hide and seek.

((Oooh I got a cute magic anon.~ I’ll save this for after dis rp.
))
*A shudder at the echidna’s grin. That was the absolute last thing Scourge had needed or wanted to see lately. Not that he would admit it to anyone, but he still had the occasional nightmares from their last go-round that kept him up at night. Still had mild ghostly pains in his limbs and tail - nothing severe, but just that sharp sudden jab of pain to remind him of what had happened from time to time.
And the fucking crowbar.
His hands tensed at Fintevus’s questioning, teeth bared in a feral snarl. ‘Return your garments.’ Yeah, right. At least the couch was still there between them. Just a piece of furniture that either of them could easily maneuver around, but it was an obstacle, nonetheless…but he had those warp rings, too. Son of a bitch. An eye twitched, then an ear, his entire body was on edge.
Despite his snarl, a smirk crossed Scourge’s lips. Always with the confident smirk.*
‘Bout fuckin’ time you gave me my shit back - probably reeks of echidna now. Toss it down and get the hell out.
“Hehhhnn… ” He chuckled, shaking his head. “Aaaha… Shooing me away? I just got here. Gehe. Right then. I’ll be blunt since that seems to be the only method of getting through to you. I need samples. You, being the useless waste of DNA you are, makes you perfect. ”
He took another step closer to lean on the couch. “Really, you shouldn’t miss a few things. Work related things, the usual.” A wave of the hand, sounding bored. Taking blood could lose its charm after a while, believe it or not. “However, after the official work is finished, I can have some fun. How does that sound?” There was an almost smug sort of smile on his face. All he really wanted was a play-date.
“Now… Let’s play a game of hide and seek shall we?” He snickered, disappearing into a golden portal.

*He was slumped back on the couch, idly changing the channels on the television; he’d been fiddling around with the acoustic earlier, but he needed to change a couple strings on it. When the off-tuning got to him, the guitar had been shoved back in its case and the TV flipped on. Nothing on, as per usual - nothing good was ever on until nighttime, and even then, it was caught when they were back and actually WATCHING television, not gaming or…preoccupied.
An ear twitched. She wasn’t supposed to be back yet - she’d caught onto the whole Extreme Gear thing as well, was pretty damn good at racing him - and had opted to head to the track to watch a few races. A smirk crossed his lips at the thought; she’d probably enter a few too, blow them away, come back with the winnings. She knew how to rock the racing outfit too…heh.
He felt another presence there, though. Ear still twitching irritably, he chucked the remote beside him…and felt something poke the back of his head, followed by a voice.
That voice.
Finitevus.
Cursing inwardly at his obvious flinch from the jab, Scourge tensed, his voice a low growl as he stood up, turning on his heel to face him - he’d learned not to turn his back to the “good” doctor. Why the hell was Fintevus here, anyway? Scourge thought they were through with the creepyass echidna, hadn’t he pretty much gone even more looney tunes and shut himself in at Eggman’s place…?*
…what the everloving fuck do you think you’re doing here, freak?
He smirked thinly from the flinch. Ooh yes, this would be a fun evening indeed.
“My… Always one for the kind greetings, are you? Such hospitality. I’ve only come to visit and return your garments… among other things.” Judging from the way he so quickly faced him, it was safe to say the hedgehog had at least learned a few things from last time. Goodie.~
“OOoh… But how long has it been? I hate letting social connections between another slowly die out. It’s a shame, really…” His eyes gleamed at Scourge, tilting his head slightly. He then glanced at his hand. “…How’s the hand doing?” A thin smirk as he cooed to him like a child. “Arm tender?” 
C’mon, c’mon big guy.~ Let’s liven the evening up! Finitevus was positively itching for some sort of action. A few weeks of rest would do that to a person… Even with Scourge’s speed he had warp rings- and if used at the right time, the mutt wouldn’t lay a finger on him.

((And I’m back.
))
Thirty,
thirty-one,
thirty-two…
Finitevus loved this pocket watch. The detail in the handiwork… The soft tick of every second was mesmerizing. It was a gift from someone special, given to him a long time ago.
Forty,
Forty-one,
forty-two…
He kept his eyes trained on the second hand- and by the way that he was grinning, it didn’t take much thought to tell he was excited. Excited for something… Today was going to be a big day.~
Fifty-seven,
fifty-eight,
fifty-nine—
And right on the 6 o’clock mark, Finitevus flicked up a golden portal and stepped inside. He found himself in a homely abode, quietly stepping around the apartment. Hn…
He should be here—Aha! There he was.. sitting on the couch. Calmly walking up behind him, Finitevus poked the green hedgehog in the back of the head.
“Boo.”
The soft pads of bandaged feet echoed lightly along the metal corridors of the Eggfleet, more or less at a quicker pace. Finitevus sighed, glancing down at the room number he had snuffed from an Eggpawn. As usual, millions of questions were flooding through his mind.
Apparently, as of a few days ago, the EggCarrier had gained one more passenger; one more passenger than Finitevus was aware of. What irritated Finitevus the most was being left in the dark about things. He had actually found out about this not from Eggman, but from overhearing a few Eggpawns gossiping. Honestly it didn’t take much effort in getting the darlings to talk. They could always get another arm or leg installed anyways. Such fragile things…
‘Ah. Here it is.’ Locating the actual room was trouble enough.. and since he hadn’t personally visited this part of the airship, he couldn’t exactly use his warp rings. But now that he was here, hopefully he’d get some questions answered. The quick -swoosh- of the door opened and Finitevus presented himself.
“…Hello Sonic.”
Oh Aurora… ”Fancy seeing you here.” Funny how the Eggpawns failed to mention how beat up the hedgehog was.
