Holy crap Batman! 10 reviews, 13 favorites and 27 alerts already? This is crazy, insane and awesome! I have written eleven other stories and I have never had such a warm welcome, especially on the first chapter! I'm unbelievably ecstatic right now!
A couple review responses…
PLacIDwiCkedNEss- Oh no, haha please don't put all your faith in me! If you're looking for other BanexOC stories to read, I recommend She Rises by Paradisical815, Mercenary by PoisonousAngel, To Serve Man by TC Stark and its sequel, The One You Feed, and The Traitor's Daughter by FutureErotic. Those five stories are by far the best stories I've read and they without a doubt deserve the praise. Go and check them out, if you haven't already haha.
i Metropolis- Oh I'm sure you do. You did suggest the title for me! :p For everyone else, i Metropolis is one of my very good friends and provided the title for this story!
Also, before anyone comments on it, my chapters do tend to vary widely in length! And please for the love of Batman, please tell me how I portrayed Bane…he's what I'm most worried about getting right.
Enjoy! :)
Disclaimer- Blah, blah, blah…don't own. Would be famous and rich if I did. Story and OC are mine. Mwhaha!

The screeching wheels of the tires on the ground startled Alexis to awaken. Her eyes flew open and she rapidly sat up. She whined and winced after her head had rammed into the roof of a car.
"Nice of you to wake up," Landon sneered from the driver's seat.
Alexis' memories flashed before her, and the night's earlier events came rushing back. Her brow furrowed out of anger and she growled threateningly, "You son of a bitch!" She attempted to leap at him, but she was hindered. As she glanced behind her, she saw her hands were bound with two zipties. One held her hands together and the same ziptie was attached to another, looped through the fabric of a seatbelt buckle. She struggled against it, furiously trying to break free.
"You won't get free."
Fiery rage rose up in her body, and she felt as if she was on fire. Her cheeks darkened with hatred. "I trusted you!" She spat irately.
"Trust takes months to grow and only seconds to break, my dear. Funny how that works isn't it?"
"You were my patient! I helped you! How could you do this to me? I thought-"
He cut her off, laughing in a mocking manner, "You thought what? That I had feelings for you? No, my dear Alexis. It was all a part of the plan."
"Wh-what? What plan? What are you going to do?"
"You'll find out." His eyes flickered to hers in the rearview mirror. The dark and mysterious eyes she had romantically gazed into just hours ago were laced with murderous intent.
Alexis froze in mid-struggle. Her mind went blank as her pulse rate increased rapidly. He was right. She had absolutely no fucking idea what he was planning. Was he taking her somewhere secret to rape and kill her violently? No. He couldn't be. He could have done that at his home. He could have done it in his home within minutes and disposed her body just as quickly. Or was he planning on doing it in complete isolation? If he truly wanted to do that, he would have to travel outside of Gotham.
Her racing thoughts were interrupted when the car suddenly skidded to a stop. Her body slammed back into the car seat as her face made friends with the headrest.
"Ow…" She whined again.
The passenger door she was sitting beside was quickly opened. She hadn't noticed Landon exit the car, seeing as he was standing before her now with a smirk on his lips. She glared hatefully at him, her own lips in a firm scowl. He reached over to her and pulled out a large knife from his pants. He cut through the ziptie holding her to the seat, so that her hands were still bound.
Landon pulled her from the car, slamming the door shut.
Alexis took the opportunity to take in her surroundings as he led her away. They were in an older part of the city, as most of the buildings were decrepit and had faded brick colors. There were few cars lined up on the streets. The streetlights were dim and a couple had lights that flickered on and off randomly. Gunfire and screaming was heard in the nearby distance. She held herself as much as she could, trying to comfort herself. She noted that the stars and moon were still shining brightly, to which she assumed it was around midnight. It took a little longer than it should have for the chloroform to leave her system, especially since she was only 5'4 and 127 pounds. But then again, she could have come back to consciousness awhile ago and was simply sleeping.
Seeing all of these things wasn't what scared her the most. It was the fact that there was no one on the streets. Landon could take advantage of her as much as he wanted and no one would know.
Landon continued tugging her along the street. They began to walk into an alley that was riddled in darkness. Alexis' throat hitched in fear. She was getting a distinct bad feeling. As he led her through the alley, she nearly tripped over a pile of trash she didn't see. His grip on her however, didn't let her falter and she kept her ground. He never bothered to glance back and check on her.
Soon, they approached a man-hole cover. Landon knelt down and removed the lid. He grabbed Alexis, hefting her into his arms. She squeaked out a cry of surprise, struggling in his hold. He began his trek down the rusty ladder, albeit with some difficulty. He reached the bottom, standing on the cold concrete.
"You can let me down now, you know." She shot angrily.
Landon smirked again, setting her down on the ground. He unsheathed the knife again, this time cutting through the ziptie holding her hands together. She gaped in awe, unsure if he was actually meaning to do so.
He turned away from her, climbing back up the ladder. "You're welcome to run free around through the pipes, but you might not enjoy the ride." Alexis made movements to begin jogging down the sewer pipes. But she froze again with his next words. "If you know what's best for you, I suggest you stand still for one more moment. Wouldn't want you getting into trouble, now would we?" He said as he went back up the ladder.
"T-trouble?" She stammered, her lips almost trembling in fear.
Landon reached the top of the ladder, pulling the cover over the top. Darkness engulfed them and she jumped in shock from the shadows. He nonchalantly flipped a switch on the wall on his way down, turning lights on. The lights brightly illuminated the pipes, showing them their way.
Landon led her down the halls, following the lights. They trudged through the muck and grime down numerous halls. Every once in a while, Alexis would fall behind, irritating Landon. He would snarl and yell dangerous threats at her, commanding for her to stay close. The first time she fell behind, Landon shoved her against the wall. He viciously held the knife to her neck, letting the tip barely touch her skin. This caused her to whimper out a scared cry.
The second time he put the knife to her neck, she stopped falling behind.
"You're a quick learner. Hopefully you'll learn much faster with my boss. He won't take kindly to deviation."
"Who is your boss?" She asked timidly.
"You'll find out soon enough."
Silence overcame them once more, and it was not long before they stopped walking. They'd arrived at a large mechanical door that had to have been at least twelve feet tall. This door was obviously not nature made, which Alexis concluded Landon and his boss, whoever he was, had been in the sewers for quite some time.
Landon touched a spot on the wall, revealing a hidden control panel. He rapidly typed in a code, while blocking her view. The panel emitted a loud ticking that seemed to let Landon know he'd entered the correct code. The door hissed robotically and slowly opened.
Alexis stood firmly in place, refusing to move.
"Go inside." He ordered.
"No. I'm not going in there."
Landon shot her a murderous grin, "Is that so?"
"Yes." She replied, as a matter-of-factly.
Alexis let out a scream of shock as Landon forcefully advanced her into the room. Before she could realize what was happening, she found herself tumbling down stairs. With every step she hit, she gasped in pain.
Both sides of her head.
Her left scapula.
Her right ulna.
By the time she landed at a stop on the concrete, she knew many parts of her body were heavily bruised, if not sprained or broken. The chloroform mixed with alcohol was still taking a toll on her mind, and she couldn't think properly. Her thoughts were jumbled as she lay there in a heap with her eyes tightly shut.
"What an entrance, I must say, Doctor Rhodes."
A new voice startled her, causing her to peek one eye open.
At this time, Landon was at the bottom of the stairs, standing over her with a malicious grin.
This new voice couldn't possibly have belonged to Landon. It was mechanical and robotic sounding.
She painfully angled her head up, only close her eyes again.
What she had seen nearly scared the living daylights out of her.
It only took her seconds to realize that this other man before her was Landon's boss. This man, if he was not human, would have been better classified as a beast. Impossibly massive muscles and standing at approximately six inches taller than her, this man was gigantic. If she had not been terrified at the first sight of him, she would have stared at the contraption covering almost the entirety of his face.
Lifting her eyelids open again, she took a harder look at the appliance on his skin. It was more of a mask. Aside from covering most of his face, it wrapped around his head with three thick gray bands of metal. His cheeks were popping out of the mask, as if it were fitted just a little too tight. She heard a soft hissing sound, and it took her a moment to realize it was coming from the mask.
His dark and intense eyes stared down at her, causing Alexis to shrink back.
"Get up." He instructed suddenly.
When Alexis didn't move, Landon spoke this time, "I would get up, dear Doctor. Unlike me, boss here doesn't give second chances."
Alexis whimpered, pushing herself to stand. Her arms struggled to hold her body up as she sat up. They quivered and shook, and it was clearly evident now that she had indeed fractured her ulna. Little by little, she rose to her feet.
As she stood before him, the hulking man stared her up and down. "You have on the strangest attire, Doctor Rhodes."
Alexis gasped, looking down at her body. She had completely forgotten she was still wearing her sexy little black dress. Embarrassment laced her mind and her cheeks unwillingly darkened. She instinctively tugged at the fabric of the dress, pulling it down as much as she could.
"Why is it that when you have informed me that you were meeting her at your house, you have brought her to me in such a skimpy outfit?"
"I was not aware she thought we were going to the club. Maybe the doctor is a little loose. She did give me quite the house call visit…" Landon chuckled, licking his lip.
"I am not loose you pervert!" Alexis spat, glaring daggers at him. "I simply couldn't decide on an outfit and I made a hasty decision. Too bad it was poorly wasted on a piece of shit like you."
Landon's jaw dropped, but then quickly closed. It didn't take long before he broke out into laughter at her outburst. The other man joined him. His laughter was made breathy due to the mask's muffled effect. Alexis realized they were mocking her.
The larger man placed his hands on the straps of the vest he wore, "Your fiery personality is admirable, Doctor. But it will not aide you here."
"Don't even think about trying to rape me! I'm stronger than I look!" She yelled, desperately attempting to keep the fear from influencing her voice.
His eyes bore into her, making her take a step back, "Rape you? No, I have no desire for that."
"Th-then what do you want with me?"
"You will find that out all in good time, Doctor Rhodes."
"Who are you?" She barely choked out.
"I'm Gotham's reckoning." He took note of her frightened expression and laughed in a jovial manner. The corners of his eyes crinkled and even though he was wearing a mask, she could tell he had an amused smirk playing on his lips. As he turned away from her, walking to a series of doors on the opposite side, his laughter echoed throughout the large room. He spoke one last time before exiting, "I am Bane."
