       Biding His Time

       EDIT:
       I had part of this RP dubbed by SuperShadicX250 from the 8th
       reply onwards... hoooly moly am I excited to hear this! :D
       Granted their take on Flowey's voice is rather deep, I still
       adore it to bits!

       Locked up in one of the Underground's high security cells at the
       castle was a glass, cylindrical container with a metal base and
       top at the centre of a windowless room. It was set upon a rather
       solid-looking table and a couple of chairs were at either side.
       Inside said container was a golden flower with shriveled up
       petals that were closed over Flowey's face. He didn't move, nor
       say anything. He hadn't ever since he was transfered into the
       new containment unit and while he was no longer being tortured
       every passing minute, he was still currently unable to Reset
       unless he dies. While he didn't want to admit it, he didn't have
       it in him to try and kill himself; for he too, just like most
       other monsters, was afraid of dying and not being able to come
       back. He was too concerned about that there may be a possibility
       that if he tried anything, he may not be able to come back.

       A few minutes later heavy metal footsteps marched through the
       hallways; the sounds of metal meeting stone echoed throughout
       the hallway. Undyne was still wearing her full suit armor -
       including her helmet - and she dismissed the two guards standing
       outside the cell to take over. She had received word that
       someone wanted to pay the flower a visit. Not only did it
       surprise the fish warrior but she was rather wary about the
       news.
       'Just who and why would want to visit him?' she thought to
       herself as she stood tall, proud and as still as a statue.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       The sound of claws clattering and wheels rolling against the
       stone of the castle floor made itself audible to anyone in the
       vicinity as the royal scientist herself along with what could be
       compared to a suitcase on wheels made their way toward the cell
       where the flower was locked away. Though she wasn't attempting
       to be sneaky Alphys had hoped that her approach could have been
       quieter, perhaps drawn less attention to herself... not
       necessarily because what she was doing was bad or immoral, but
       because the idea of visiting Flowey already bought her enough
       anxiety, and she didn't need other people attempting to speak to
       her to make her even more anxious.
       A familiar face, or rather a familiar helmet, caught the
       reptilian monster's attention as she registered who was by the
       door. Seeing Undyne there was both reassuring and nerve
       wracking: she felt safer knowing that the captain of the royal
       guard was there to help if anything happened, but despite the
       helmet blocking the fish's face she could almost feel the
       judgmental and wary look that no doubt would be plastered across
       her face. Why would Alphys be here to see the very creature that
       had caused her so much emotional trauma? What was she doing
       here? Even Alphys herself felt like questioning this as she
       approached the cell, but she knew that she had good reason to be
       there. The wrong doings that both of the golden beings in the
       area had committed could potentially be fixed by this very
       meeting. With a resigned sigh Alphys released the handle of her
       case before offering a meek wave to the warrior.
       "U-Undyne! H-h-how are you doing? How is the m-medication
       working out f-f-for you?"  she asked, still slightly concerned
       for Undyne's well being. The image of Undyne dying again and
       again was something that haunted Alphys' dreams, and the fact
       that Undyne herself was the person who actually danced with
       death made the lizard ponder if that would have mentally scarred
       her. Thanks to Undyne's natural abilities and the medicine she
       had been given the warrior seemed physically stable, but Alphys
       worried for her mental health.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       A soft creak of metal sounds as Undyne turned her head towards
       of oddly familiar clattering of claws against stone. When she
       realised just who it was her heart skipped a beat and her
       posture relaxed quite noticeably. Once she was closer Undyne was
       quick to remove her helmet to reveal her signature, broad,
       toothy grin and dropped the piece of armor a short distance from
       the floor.
       "Alphys! I'm doing great thanks to you!" she exclaimed as she
       picked her up, brought her into a hug and spun around once. When
       she realised what she did she flushed a little before setting
       her back down onto the ground as gently as the fish warrior
       could manage; and by gentle, it was without the usual excessive
       force she often was fond of putting behind things, "Erm, I mean,
       yeah I'm doing fine. I feel a little nauseous and lethargic
       every now and then, but that's nothing! How about yourself? How
       are you holding up?"
       Seeing her here - especially with that suitcase - Undyne was
       able to put two and two together, so she didn't need to ask such
       an obvious question as to why she was here. Behind that grin and
       bravado, there were some invisible scars and burdens the warrior
       carried - just like any other whom had been met with the strife
       and consequence of wars and battles - but Undyne was not one to
       let that stop her from performing her dutie;s nor show them in
       front of other monsters. She felt like she had the
       responsibility of always looking strong, confident, optimistic
       and hopeful whenever she was with other monsters; especially
       when they turn to her and the rest of the Royal Guard for safety
       and guidance.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       When Undyne's face was revealed to have her trademark grin
       plastered across it Alphys felt a lot better about the
       situation, though the noise the helmet made when dropped on the
       ground startled the lizard monster back into her state or
       nerves. Alphys' pulse seemed to quicken as she gazed up at
       Undyne and her wonderfully bright smile, though she tried to
       keep her cool: she was here for the sake of science and
       monsters, not for what she believed to be a one-sided romance.
       The hug Undyne gave was both sudden and unexpected, and Alphys
       made a small noise akin to a mouse as she was hoisted up into
       the air and spun around. By the time she was plonked back down
       on the ground the scientist was rather befuddled, fumbling to
       readjust her glasses which had slipped almost completely off her
       face. Despite the glasses no longer needing to be saved Alphys
       kept her fingers clasped gently around her glasses for a moment,
       perhaps actually to hide the glow that though she couldn't see
       it she sure as heck could feel spreading across her cheeks.
       "I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I" she stuttered, too flustered to form a proper
       sentence. After taking a deep breath the royal scientist resumed
       her attempt at communication. "I'm g-glad that it's working out
       f-for you! Your symptoms are p-perfectly normal, j-just
       c-c-contact me if they get any worse, okay?" Alphys asked, her
       voice oozing with concern as she spoke. When she was asked about
       how she was doing a look of surprise spread across the reptilian
       monster's face. "I'm doing alright... j-just here on...
       business" Alphys replied, the last word spoken with some
       hesitation. She gazed toward the cell, an uncertain look slowly
       appearing on her face. Was this the right thing to do?

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Seeing Alphys' reaction caused for Undyne to let out a hearty
       chuckle; perhaps the fish warrior even secretly found the
       scientist's flustering cute?
       "Yeah of course, it'll take a lot more than that to keep me down
       - easy!" she replied confidently but she did pause for a moment
       to look at her lizard friend and her voice dropped a little
       softer. As she spoke her eye slowly shied away to the side;
       something that most monsters rarely -if ever- saw from Undyne,
       "But yanno, it would have been a lot harder on me if it weren't
       for all your help. Like I'm still a little confused about it but
       back in the mines, I got this feeling that what brought me back
       thinking of-"
       She then paused abruptly with a surprised look on her face as
       she stared at the wall beside them.  As if she had just caught
       herself just before she was going to say something. She then
       quickly followed through, hoping that Alphys didn't notice but
       even now she had her doubts, "- kicking that genie's ass and
       saving the Underground of course!" she finalized, once again in
       her usual confident tone.
       Her grin did lessen a fraction when Alphys mentioned that she
       was here on business and her yellow eye glanced over to the
       locked door behind her. The guard seemed a little worried as she
       placed her hand on the scientist's shoulder, "Business huh? Well
       I trust that you know what you're doing, but even so, please be
       careful. I normally wouldn't bend the rules a bit but, would you
       feel more comfortable if I stayed out here or went in with you?"

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Alphys could only imagine what the warrior was really about to
       say, as she doubted the sudden explanation Undyne produced was
       truly what was on her mind. There was no way of knowing what
       Undyne really intended on saying, but the way she so quickly
       swerved to avoid it in the presence of Alphys gave the lizard
       monster a small spark of hope. Though perhaps it was just her
       being too desperate... she really needed to stop being so
       desperate. It was being desperate with Asgore that got her into
       her current mess.... if it weren't for the crush she once had on
       the boss monster she would have never applied for the position
       as royal scientist. Alphys shook away those thoughts and
       returned to the current situation.
       "Haha, y-yeah... that would have b-b-been something that was
       worth... returning, f-for" she replied, looking at the ground as
       she spoke. There was a small silence before the scientist spoke
       again, perhaps because of the tension that seemed to be
       building, or perhaps because she needed a decent amount of time
       to think on whether or not to take up Undyne's offer. There was
       a small hesitation before Alphys again spoke.
       "It may b-be safer for the b-b-both of us if I g-go in alone...
       he's very c-c-crafty, and if something happens... we'll both
       b-be better off i-if one of us is o-outside of the cell
       preparing..."

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       The fish warrior watched the lizard scientist carefully as she
       shared the silence with her. Undyne could tell that she was
       thinking deeply about something; but as to whatever it was, she
       will never know. One thing she did know was not to put Alphys on
       the spot or pressure her in any way; after all, she secretly
       found the scientist the most beautiful when she was calculating
       and passionate with whatever she had put her mind to.
       The guard then stood up with a nod when she got her answer and
       turned to face the door behind her. Several glowing spears
       appeared out of thin air and slammed into numerous slots in the
       door and independently took sharp turns either to the left or
       right at different speeds; until finally the sounds of several
       locks clicked and the heavy door slowly creaked open to a dark
       and cold chamber. There was a dim spotlight on the glass
       container at the centre which imprisoned a closed, still, golden
       flower.
       "Alright, but just say the word and I'll be in there before you
       know it. I won't let anything happen to you." Undyne reassured
       before taking her position by the door again - at the ready.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Alphys took a few steps back while Undyne opened the door, the
       sudden appearance of the spears giving her a small fright.
       Once the doors had swung open to their full extent the scientist
       stepped into the chamber, bringing her 'briefcase' in with her.
       Alphys lay this briefcase down next to the glass container and
       pressed a button on it. The case started to unfold, opening up
       and becoming a very short table with small drawers underneath.
       Each of these drawers contained various scientific instruments
       and medicines of sorts. A small clipboard was also among these
       items, which she picked up and tested the pen that was in her
       coat pocket with before proceeding. Before getting to the point
       Alphys decided that she would go over a few basic procedures to
       see if she could actually potentially get some co-operation from
       the flower.
       "H-Hello Flowey... How are you feeling today?" she asked. It was
       quite obvious to her that she wasn't going to get any sort of
       respectful answer, but small talk would provide a gateway to
       what she really wanted to talk about.

       At first the closed golden flower didn't move; so still that
       some may question if it was just an ordinary flower. That is,
       until finally there was some movement. The roots which had
       gathered and twisted into a mangle at the base of the canister
       twitched and coiled into further knots; Flowey's pale green stem
       creaked ever so slightly as he tilted his head and the petals
       parted ever so slightly to allow for those dull red eyes to leer
       through.
       "Oh. It's you." he groaned before closing the petals around his
       face again, making his voice muffled but still comprehensible to
       hear. He seemed to be disinterested before adding rhetorically
       and ending on a blatantly sarcastic note, "Feeling? Do monsters
       without souls feel? If they don't then I'm doing 'just peachy'."
       His petals parted slightly once again for a brief moment,
       allowing him just enough time for the portable table being there
       to register and said as the petals closed again, "Golly, I hope
       you're here to euthanize me doc, cause that would be just
       swell."
