It was too much. At least in her own world, she had more room in her cage. Megara could almost fool herself into thinking she could outrun Hades, that he wouldn't just summon her to his lair whenever he wanted. But in this walled city, his presence was unavoidable. Sure, he'd been pretty hands-off since she arrived, but he was here and he'd gone out of his way to remind her of this fact.

She felt the familiar itch to run, as hopeless as that habit was. This stupid city with its stupid prisoners who were too stupid to accomplish anything that mattered! Teamwork and friendship would set them free? Please.

So now Megara stared down the guard at the gate, hands on her hips. "Look, pal, one way or the other, I'm getting out of here." To punctuate this, she tried to side-step him, only to be blocked quickly. She growled in frustration, throwing her hands up. "This is unbelievable!"

Knuckles glanced at the guards. They'd never given Knuckles much in the way of trouble - but maybe that was because he could pound them into the ground without so much as a second thought if he needed to. That wasn't to say he would, but the fact that it was there may have provided the guards with an incentive to get the heck out of his way. He looked back at Megara at the question. "I don't like the city," he replied. "Too many people. At least the islands are quiet most of the time."
