Modern Torture
By: The Jack Loving Misfit aka Courtney M.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Newsies characters, but I do own Gwen, Derek, the gang leaders and drug lords. So yippy-skippy for me, huh. Take that Disney!!
Rating: R (language, violent situations, slash)
Category: Drama/Action-Adventure/Romance
Pairings: Take a guess. If you know me, then you probably know what's going on in my head because I can think of virtually nothing else.
Summary (because it can get confusing): Basically, it's the year 2006. New York City. And the city is war torn with murders, fires, riots and other nasty stuff. Three gangs are at war against the two biggest drug lords New York has ever seen. Two of the character Gwen (OC) and Vincent (Skittery) are caught in the middle of it. The rest of the characters are kind of tugged along for the ride so to speak. A lot is going on in this story, so it may be a little hard to follow, but I'll try to make it as easy as possible, I swear. There's five storylines happening at once with different characters in each one and the characters don't go by their nicknames, so I suppose I should straighten that out too huh? (Wow, I'm rambling today aren't I?)
Reviews: Are appreciated, loved and any other big words you can think of in you minds. I need them like I need water and food and sleep. (Sleep being the most important of those three)
List of Characters Names (because you may need to remember, or refresh your memory at some point. . .even I do sometimes.)
Vincent Monroe (Skittery)
Maxwell Higgins

Benjamin Copper (West Side drug lord)
(I know, I know, a lot of characters. But just be most concerned with the Newsies you know and love. Their the main characters)
A/N: Alright, now that I've wasted enough of your time. (Ever notice how good at that I am?) You can go on and read my super brief prologue just to warm ya up and hopefully I'll have the first chapter out soon since I've already planned this whole story out. And it's going to be long, so bare with me on this one and I will love you forever and ever.

Prologue - New York City (2006)
"We've got to get rid of them. They're the real problems," Ray Shockleton said in a grave, monotonous voice. His twenty-something face set in a grim expression enough to scare those closest to him. The drugs that ran rapid through his body made him slightly jittery, but not enough to cloud over his judgement. His body was beyond used to the invasion. In fact, the only thing you could accuse him of would be being over confident.
"You think I'm stupid or somethin? I know that. What I want to know is how you propose to do just that?" The second voice in the room cracked through the brief quiet. No one could accuse Benjamin Copper of being over confident. He got his edge from fighting, violence and intimidation. And the fact that he never sampled the drugs he sold to the junkies.
Shockleton and Copper were the biggest drug lords in New York City. Everyone knew it and it was also common knowledge to not screw with either one of them. Ever. But apparently someone, or more accurately, three someone's, didn't get the memo.
Those people were the leaders of the three most violent, well known and powerful gangs in the city. And the three had ripped off both east and west drug dealers - big time. And that was the purpose of Shockleton and Coppers meeting on that rainy, rainbow-esque day.
Shockleton turned on his heel slowly, looking straightly through Copper with his slightly glazed over gray eyes. Eyes that used to be a shine ocean blue before the drug abuse began at fourteen. Now they resembled dead eyes. "Trust me Benny, just trust old Raymond."
"I trust you about as much as I like you. So you better tell me what tricks you've got up your sleeve."
"Ye of little faith -
"Knock off the faith bullshit and jist tell me. You dance around the subject too much."
Shockleton threw his fellow leader a dazzling grin, then leaned across the small dimly lit table so he could whisper. Explaining his plan of revenge in detail. All the way down to the last fight and final death. The frown that had been set of Copper's face was fading quickly into an agreeing, amused smirk. When he had finished telling his plan, Ray leaned back to his original position, a matching smirk on his own face.
"Like I said Copper, you just lean back, relax, and trust me. And everything will go perfectly smooth."
And that was how the war between the druggies and gangs began. Fire's were set to most houses, riots were started brutally in the streets, murders occurred on every avenue corner and dead end alleyway. No one was safe from the destruction that smashed through the relatively peaceful city. Families ran, children screamed and the warring sides didn't care who they shot at. If you looked up chaos, most likely you would now see a picture of this war next to the word. Everything Ray said was happening, exactly the way he wanted it too. The only thing he didn't count on was a group of teenagers to throw them off.
But that comes later.
