The fun thing about Warden and Lisa is that they're sharks in the water and weakness is like blood to them. No one detects a person's weakness like they do but Lisa prefers to store that information in the back if her mind and use it for special occasions. Warden? Warden likes to attack, Warden likes to prod, and Warden looooves to see where that exposed weakness leads him and that can sometimes cause him to go overboard in interrogating people and lead to him accidentally breaking their minds of provoking people. It's also how he gets to hear the secrets of other villains.
Like, when Brute Force was the FIRST villain group to be captured, Warden just interrogating them and watching them and studying them carefully. Benito has always been guarded with his reactions as well as Misha and Alley can be when it the time calls for it. But Lisa is conducting questioning and when she asks a question about children, Misha accidentally makes the mistake of changing his tone.
It's brief, a normal person wouldn't hear it, but Warden was trained to hear those kinds of things. For a brief moment, his tone was defensive. Almost protective. So Warden just knocking on the window to let Lisa know that they should switch and Lisa nods her head and does so. And Misha continues his cocky facade before Warden sits down: "Now, regarding the questioning, you reacted at a question...The one about children, if I'm not mistaken? I wonder why that is."
Misha: "I don't know what you're talking about."
Warden: "I'm sure you don't. I just find it interesting that Meiling Wu San hasn't been seen for a while shortly after your union and the death of her father."
Misha, smirking: "We divorced."
Warden: "Right when the baby was coming along? I doubt that."
and Misha just tensing up at that and he glares at Warden: "...Did those traitors tell you?" and The Triplets just glaring and hissing at him from the other side of the window but Warden shakes his head: "Nah. You see, Misha, I don't need magical powers to read people. I see with my own eyes, I hear with my own ears, and I pay close attention to what people say and how they say it. So, let me ask: Do you want to find out? Or are you going to stop fucking around with me?" and Misha narrows his eyes but then sighs in defeat.
But also, like, IT CAN GET PRETTY ANNOYING WHEN YOU'RE HIS SPOUSE. Him and Ronan are having an argument and Warden really can't shut it off. He'll scan for any source of weakness or give in Ronan's voice when Ronan is upset and Ronan has to yell: "STOP! STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT!"
Warden: "What the hell are you talking about?"
Ronan: "THAT! THAT STUPID PSYCHOANALYZING, BODY LANGUAGE READING THING- STOP IT! I know what you're trying to do and I want to remind you: I AM YOUR HUSBAND, NOT A CRIMINAL."
Warden: "Ronnie, you're being hysterical."
Ronan: "THERE! RIGHT THERE, YOU'RE TRYING TO GET INTO MY HEAD AND I'M JUST ASKING YOU NOT TO BE SO DISTANT! I CAN'T EVEN HAVE PERSONAL TIME WITH YOU WITHOUT YOU TRYING TO PLAY MINDGAMES!" and Warden just staring down at him and those cold, calculating eyes soften as he frowns and he hugs him close.
Warden: "I...I'm sorry, baby...It's...It's hard for me to turn it off."
Ronan: "I know, babe, I know. But you don't need to be so on gaurd when you're with me. You can feel safe with me always, right?"
and Warden just nods his head and hugs him tightly to his body.
Warden: "Right."
