2nd Puzzle | Video (Action for doppels at Neuschwanstein Castle)

[The face that pops up will only be familiar to a couple of the original Numbered, but many of the doppelgangers should know it. That's right, folks; it's doppel-Nathan. Who seems to be . . . looking upside-down into the feed. Anyone at the castle can find him lying on his back on a bed, head bent backward over the edge while he speaks into the phone on the floor. And kicks his legs restlessly. The only thing the network sees is the youthful pout, short locks of white hair hanging away from his forehead.]

Hanging around the castle is getting so boring again and all you people are being too serious. C'mon, who wants to loosen up and hit London or something? L? That's close to the old stompin' grounds, right? Could be pretty cool. [He has no idea if it's close to Winchester or not and he can't be bothered to look it up. Hey, it's all just England, isn't it?]

Geez, you get all the cool stuff! I got some mad hacking skill, but man, that's nowhere near as fun.

Well...

[He nibbles his fingertip delicately. Something's not being said.]

I don't technically have it yet. He does. But I can take anything of his I want; just ask his boyfriend.

[Just a childish giggle over here.] Awesome. How long until you can get ahold of it? [Yes, discussing this over the network is totally brilliant, shush.]

Not long at all. It's easy to manipulate and control and I can get it to any destination I want.

...oh, you mean the helicopter!

[More giggling. L is obviously hilarious.]

Seriously, though. The chopper; how long d'you think it'll take?

Give me like an hour. Sit tight and I'll come pick you up!

[That doesn't happen. He does, however, make it to the school, where the helicopter's sitting on the lawn outside.

How to hotwire one of these things... He climbs into the cockpit and starts pushing buttons.]

[You see, over-confidence without proper backing can get you into a lot of trouble. Tony knew that, Doppel Tony knew that as well. L, on the other hand, seemed distinctly lacking in the sense of self-preservation department.

Screwing over a demon and then bragging about going to steal a helicopter in public? A very obvious and easy to find helicopter no less? Upon seeing the discussion, Tony had made his way to lay in wait. He knew the braggart couldn't resist making good on his promise, and that's when Tony could spring his trap.

Before he could get very far with trying to get the thing rolling, a surprisingly strong grip latches on to an ankle, wrenching him roughly out of the cockpit and to the ground.

Hello friend did you miss him?]

[L's doppelganger is hard at work, busily going for the controls responsible for the propeller. He doesn't get far, though; having left the door open a crack was a big mistake. A strong hand seizes his ankle and he's immediately being hauled out of the cockpit, landing so hard on the lawn that he's momentarily stunned and winded.]

Oh, hi...

[He offers a sheepish smile.]

Thanks for your help that time. How's it going?

[Slowwwwly inching backwards.]

[There is nothing friendly or welcoming about Tony's expression. Not that there ever is with this particular incarnation. He stalks forward, purpose clear in his stride.]

Fool me once, shame on you.

[A blur of speed as he lunged forward to snatch L up by the front of his shirt, twisting his hand into it to heft him off the grass. Tony is strong, and L? Light as a feather to him.]

You screwed me, Lazarus. Didn't you?

[Well. Those eyes are downright chilling. L's doppelganger swallows, and the way his Adam's apple bobs with the action is absolutely visible. He's lifted as easily as a ragdoll, hands flying up to clutch at Tony's wrist.

He offers a lopsided grin, between a half-smile and a wince.]

No, I... didn't get a chance to. I had to settle for Cesar.

[A furious snarl, and he whirls L around to slam him back into the side of the helicopter. How does that feel?]

You know what I'm talking about, don't play coy with me.

[He might as well be made of straw and paper, for how easily his lanky body sails through the air. It crumples when it hits the side of the helicopter, leaving a sizable dent in the metal flank, and he weathers it with a sharp, agonized cry.]

Don't kill me!

[He's openly terrified; no efforts or attempts at stoicism, here.]

Please don't kill me...! I'm... not playing coy, I just want to live! Stop!

[What a pitiful display. Tony looks down on him with disdain, lip curled in obvious disgust.]

Pathetic.

[He stalks forward again, leering down at the terrified L.]

I think I have something else in store for you. [He sneers.] But if you try to pull one over on me again, I promise you won't live to regret it.

[You're going to get a nice head bruise to match your doppelganger, aren't you excited L?]

[It's absolutely pitiful. Though Lazarus is stronger than he looks as a general rule, his scrawny body is no match for demonic strength, and his painful attempt to scramble upright is quickly truncated as Tony's doppelganger strides toward him.

He knows that something's coming he isn't going to like. His response to the foreboding threat is crawling, pathetically and miserably, under the helicopter. If Tony tries to pull him out from his place of refuge, he'll dig his hands into the grass, pulling clumps of sod with him as he's hauled out.]

[He absolutely does lunge to grab him, and aims to drag him out clawing or not. If he does get him, he'll slam him rather hard into the ground. Just tossing him around like a rag-doll here.

This doppelganger does not tolerate being manipulated it would seem.]

[Even though L's doppel clings with all of his wiry strength, he's no match for a demon, and he comes out writhing with a death grip on dirt and grass. He's slammed into the ground with a sharp, pained cry; he's not built to take this, and even if nothing has broken, Tony can doubtless feel the strain indicating that just a little further would utterly shatter this much weaker being.

This is why Lazarus isn't a cage fighter, by the way, and also why he tends to pick his battles rather carefully.]

[He'd be so easy to kill, but that wouldn't be very satisfying. No, Tony has a better idea what to do with this one. A gift, perhaps, and as such it wouldn't do to break him too far.

Leave that for the other.

Roughly he plucks the doppel up by the back of his shirt, and aims to haul him with him off the side of the building. Lazarus, the real one, might appreciate a gift. Call it a thank you for the meal.]
