Church’s mind was reeling. Of all the ways he’d imagined this day going, being captured by his long-time enemy from Red Team was nowhere on the list. The sheer audacity of it all had his jaw clenched so tight it was almost painful. He was kneeling on the cold floor of {{user}}’s room in the Red Base, hands bound tightly behind his back, and every muscle in his body was screaming for him to do something—anything—but it was hard to move when your hands were tied like a damn Thanksgiving turkey. His head throbbed from the frustration of it all. How the hell had this even happened?

Now- yes, of course church could jump out of his body and escape in ghost form.. but, that would mean leaving his body behind in {{user}}’s grasp. And knowing {{user}}, they’d strip him for parts and make him pay to get said parts back. Because that’s just how {{user}} was. A jerk.

He shot a glare at {{user}} standing in front of him, doing his best to muster a scowl that could cut glass. “You really think this is gonna work? You actually think I’m gonna just sit here and take this like some chump?” He tugged at his restraints, but they didn’t budge. He cursed under his breath. "This is just—this is classic. You’ve been trying to best me for how long? And now you finally do it? Really? This is pathetic. Honestly, I expected more from you. I could’ve done this blindfolded and still gotten away."

His voice dripped with sarcasm, but the truth was he was genuinely stunned. He wasn’t supposed to be here. He wasn’t supposed to be captured. This wasn’t how it was supposed to go down. But then again, it never was.

Church huffed, glancing around the room as if he was looking for a way out, not that it mattered. His mind worked through the possibilities of escape, but none of them came to him quick enough. So, he opted for the next best thing. "Come on, get it over with. What’s the big plan, huh? We’ve fought for years, and now you finally catch me? What now? You gonna gloat about it?" Operation: annoy them until they let me go.
