Got the idea from"Two Nights" by LEastman(which is AWESOME BTW! She seriously deserves more attention!)
Anyway, I stashed it, and now I'm bored at school
So here we go!

SPRX coughed out another laugh
"I grow impatient with you, simian!" He captor barked "tell me the super robot's weaknesses or face more suffering!"
"No" SPRX refused strongly
This earned him a kick in the stomach
A sound of pain escaped SPRX as a response
His captor smiled, and kicked the monkey again
"Get it through your head! I'M NOT GONNA TALK!" SPRX yelled
"And you'd better pray that I don't believe that, because if I can't get anything out of you, then your useless" the man said, then leaned in "and I don't like to keep useless things around"
Then SPRX felt more kicks
He clamped his teeth and cursed at his restraints in his head
But managed not to say anything
"Everyone has their limits" the man added, not letting up on the kicks "and I will find yours!"
SPRX was on the verge of tears, but held them back
The thought to sell out the team to end it crossed his mind
But he quickly banished it
He tried yet again to send a distress signal
signal blocked
He tried again
signal blocked
And again
signal blocked
And again
signal blocked
He knew it wasn't going to work, but it gave him something else to focus on decides to pain
"We're done with this" the man said as he delivered one last kick, then turned to a guard and nodded
then the guard came back with something big and black
the man smiled and took it
SPRX couldn't tell what it was and wasn't sure if he even wanted to
after a moment SPRX knew what they were
big black wires that had been attached to his restrains
he was being electrocuted
and it was agony
he didn't even try to muffle the scream
then man just smiled
"just give me something I can use and it'll stop" he said, almost warmly
the thought was crossing SPRX's mind more than he would of liked it to
but regardless, he held his tongue
the man's face twisted
"TALK!" he demanded
SPRX lacked the energy to think of a good come back
so he merely stayed silent
the shocks happened on and off for another hour and 27 min.
out of things to do, SPRX had counted
he figured out that there was about 2 breaks in the shocks every minute
then that they were an average of 20 seconds apart
he was trying to find something else to figure out when he noticed that this break was too long
he chanced opening his eyes
only to feel water being sloppily dumped on him
some got in his mouth, and it tasted terrible
SPRX spat and coughed to try to expel the dirty water
then he felt the most agonizing shock yet
when it stopped, he just hung his head limply
then man crouched down and lifted SPRX's head up
"that's just a taste of how bad it's going to to get if you don't talk. so how about it? save yourself the misery?" the man said
SPRX took a second, considering his next action
then spat in the man's face!
the man lash back, wiping his face off in disgust
SPRX gave a beaten and exhausted version of his signature smirk
"I'm gonna regret that" he thought
and sure enough, he felt the man actually claw his face!
"so SPRX, was it worth it?" SPRX thought to himself "probably not"
then the shocks began again
SPRX cursed himself for his own stupidity
it was really all he could do, the pain was too distracting to start counting again
so calling himself bad names it was!
SPRX started feeling numb after a bit, which he guessed was good
but the man noticed that he had stop responding to the shocks
SPRX heard him shut off whatever he was using to make the shocks
"give up?" SPRX asked, not even lifting his head
funny, he lacked the incentive to even move, but a witty comment, he could always manage
"far from it" the man smiled, the walked behind SPRX
SPRX didn't even want to try and figure out what was coming next, he'd know soon enough
then he felt a sting run across his back in a straight line
"A whip!?" SPRX thought, completely exhausted
"this is going to get worse before it gets better" The man said as he continuously lashed
SPRX didn't even respond
the whipping continued
SPRX looked for another distraction
anything but the pain
eventually he decided that a black spot on the floor was the most interesting thing in the world
"It'll stop when I get what I want" The man said
SPRX just hung limply
he couldn't even scream anymore
the man lashed one more time
there was nothing for a bit
SPRX wondered what could be the cause
then he felt something cold pull across his bloody and scarred back
he inhaled out of pain, but he couldn't get a scream through his swollen throat even if he wanted to
he doubted that he'd be able to talk even if he decided to
SPRX started to fade in and out, barely conscious
it was all catching up to him
he heard someone come in and say something to the man, who sounded very happy to hear whatever it was
he felt a few more cuts, then he was left hanging there limply
he vaguely thought he heard the man leave, but couldn't raise his head to check
then he heard the door open
struggling?
he definitely heard struggling!
but who was struggling? SPRX recognised the voice, but couldn't place it, he was barley self aware
"SPRX!?" the familiar voice said, concerned
SPRX barely forced hie eyes to flutter open slightly, he couldn't make out much
but he saw a blue form on the wall
then it clicked where he knew the voice
"G-Gib...Gibson?" SPRX muttered, barely audible
SPRX couldn't stop his head from falling limp again
he heard Gibson talking, but couldn't make out what he was saying
then he felt something sering hot pressed against his side
SPRX's previous theory about not being able to make any noise if he wanted to was shattered as he felt an involuntary scream escaped him
he felt more agonizing burns for who knows how long
hearing what he was pretty sure was Gibson shrieking in horror in the background
until finally, it stopped
SPRX felt his restraints loosen
and he fell to the ground
the thought of running crossed his mind, but it was forgotten when he found that he couldn't move anyways
SPRX felt water being lazily thrown on him again
he could barely cough it out
was Gibson still yelling?
he couldn't tell anymore
some more dirt water was thrown on him
then he blacked out
...
SPRX's eyes opened in a lazy fluttering motion
he moaned and tried to move
but he wasn't able too
half asleep, it took him a second to register the pain and bandages restricting his movement
SPRX slowly felt his senses make sense of where he was and what was happening
it smelled like a familiar scent of strong sterile chemicals
he saw a familiar shad of grey on the ceiling
and heard some familiar sounds
he was in medbay
then he noticed that he couldn't see through his right eye and that there was someone holding his hand
he felt like he had the ability to speak again
"what...what's going on?...what happened?" SPRX asked in a groggy and rough voice
"he's awake!" Nova's voice said
"oh thank Shuggazoom!" Gibson said, rushing over
SPRX noticed that he couldn't hear out of his right ear
"What's-" SPRX started, squirming a bit
"SPRX! don't move!" Gibson said as he and Nova held SPRX still
"told you he'd make it!" Nova smiled
Gibson shrugged the statement off
SPRX reached the hand Nova wasn't holding to the right half of his face
there was a bandage
well that explained why he couldn't see
"SPRX? What do you remember?" Gibson asked with a tint of nervousness
SPRX strained to gain a memory
"not much" he mumbled "...I...I think I got captured...and...interrogated...a lot of pain"
"is that all?" Gibson choked
"yeah...wait! no! you were there...I think...were you there? did you rescue me? wait...no" SPRX gripped his head, trying to force his thoughts to make sense
Gibson was silent for a moment
"you went missing while you were out on patrol, and I was captured while looking for you" Gibson said
"right! I..I-I think I blacked out when they brought you in" SPRX said
then SPRX noticed that Gibson wasn't hurt
there wasn't a scratch!
"didn't they interrogate you?" SPRX asked suspiciously, concerned that Gibson had talked
and that would have meant that SPRX had been through all of that for nothing!
Gibson choked a bad memory back
"they did interrogate me..." Gibson said, still struggling with his emotions "...but not...like they did you"
SPRX raised his eyebrow
"they didn't..." Gibson started "...you didn't black out...I suspect that you repressed most of what happened after that..."
Nova looked at Gibson expecting, he hadn't explained what had happened yet
Gibson gulped
"they made me watch" he said plainly
Nova gasped
SPRX still didn't fully understand
"they tortured you in front of me until I talked" Gibson gulped, still trying to choke down the thought "I say you didn't black out because I could hear you scream... I can still hear you scream!"
then it clicked for SPRX
he gasped, that was far worse then anything they could of done to him!
"...they put the right side of you face on a grinding stone" Gibson said, his voice cracking
SPRX felt the grip around his hand tighten as Gibson started sobbing
"do you want me to tell the others?" Nova asked sympathetically
Gibson nodded weakly while crying
Nova nodded and left
SPRX tried to force himself up
"What are you doing?" Gibson asked
"The guys going to attack any minute now, and you guys are gonna need the help! hurt or not, I gotta- ah! eeee...ow!" SPRX said, falling back on the table
Gibson blinked at him
"do you have any idea what they did to you?" Gibson said
"not really?" SPRX smirked, trying to make the situation a joke
"...I guess that's a good thing..." Gibson muttered "let's just say, you're not leaving that bed for a long time"
SPRX sighed
"So I'm helpless here while you guys need me!" he spat at himself "great!"
"SPRX! CAN YOU THINK ABOUT YOUR OWN HEALTH FOR JUST A MOMENT!?" Gibson yelled
there was silence
his words echoed through the air
Gibson sighed and tried to calm himself
"Do you even know how worried we all were?" Gibson said in a hushed tone "Do you remember what it was like when Antauri died? now picture that was you! just imagine that for a second!"
SPRX did as Gibson said, and imagined what it would be like if he had died in that room, with Gibson watching, on the way back to the robot, or right there in medbay
SPRX started crying, thinking about the team at his funereal, a thought he was trying to forget, but now couldn't
he cried harder thinking of whenever they would leave his room untouched, or pack everything up
he cried, now understanding Gibson
"Think about that every time you're about to do something reckless and stupid!" Gibson said a little rudely, crying himself
SPRX just nodded
an alarm went off and Gibson left
and SPRX was alone with the horrifying thought
then Gibson's words rang through his head
"I could hear you scream... I can still hear you scream!"
SPRX knew that Gibson was going to have nightmares about whatever happened after he blacked out
for a long time to come
done!
I've been doing this on and off for a LOOOONG time now!
anyway
yeah...Piper had a little bit of fun here ^v^
