Jack's body fell limp against the bonds. The scientist narrowed his eyes, scanning the monitor once again. Still at 80% power. No dips or peaks, no breaks in the wiring. He tapped his chin, looking back up to the still body. Still breathing, if a bit rapidly. No head trauma incurred. He refused to damage that part of his subject. One gloved hand reached toward the knob when a quiet chuckle emerged. The scientist scanned Jack again. His breathing pattern changed slightly. No longer rapid but even, a few pauses appeared, his shoulders jumping up and down.
The laugh grew louder.
Jack straighten, but kept his face down. His laughter became manic, insane. As though laughing at a joke. The scientist moved closer to the subject.
"You rang?" The voice froze the scientist's movements. His subject's voice before, when unbroken by the electricity, was soothing and a little loud. This one could not be the same, frequently changing even in just two words. Almost...glitchy as though it didn't quite exist.
The voice broke his pondering. "Now, now. Don't be rude." Jack's body shifted once again, his head lolled to one side. "You were trying to reach me right?"
"I'm attempting to get a unique response." He crossed his arms. "Not a person."
"Oh? That's too bad." Jack's shoulder's rolled back. "For you see"
A metal snap jarred through the scientist. He spotted his subject's feet, unchained, by the broken restraints. He could only marvel at the fact for a few seconds when his subject's head jerked towards him. Two mismatched eyes stared at him, one the usual sky blue but the other...
The subject smiled, showing off fanged teeth. "I don't play as nicely."
This is part of a longer story I'm writing. I got this idea from a comic I saw through pintrest of Jack being tortured and begging for someone to stop the pain. Current title in progress is "Electric Shock" but I'm open to suggestions. If you have questions, message me and I'll answer as soon as I can.
