Mercy felt as if she had just lost an argument with a freight train, her head was pulsating with pain. As she attempted to open her eyes, a blinding light caused her to quickly wince away from it, until she got used to it. She tried to move but she couldn't as she was bound securely to a chair.
The last thing that she could remember was that the Blu Spy was taking her to his comrades base as a captive, so she deduced that it was where she probably was.
As her vision slowly started to clear she could make out a figure sat in front of her on another chair. A small orange glow soon also appeared in front of her. A smoke cloud then blew into her face causing her cough.
"Well, I see that our guest is starting to wake up," The figure said, revealing it to be the Blu Spy. He then started to slap the sides of Mercy's face lightly to try to wake her up more.
Mercy raised her head and looked straight at the Blu Spy.
"Where have you taken me?" She asked with a scowl.
The Blu Spy then went a cupped her chin in one of his hands.
"Good doctor, I do believe that you are not in the position to be asking questions," He said as he pulled his hand away from her face and straightened his tie. "Now, if you decide to comply with me, we'll be able to get through this whole thing without any," Blu Spy paused as he searched for a word to use. " 'complications'," He said as walked over to a table with wheels which had a brown leather bag on it.
This started to make Mercy worry a whole lot more than she already was before hand. She had heard tales of what mercenaries and terrorist groups such as Talon would do to extract information out of their unfortunate victims. She was one of those victims.
The Blu Spy then turned back to her holding some sort of device. He then placed her left arm flat on the arm of the chair she was on. He then flattened her left hand and placed the device on her first finger.
"Now," He said as he knelt down so he was eye-level with her. "Why are you here?" He asked her.
Mercy didn't answer and turned her face away from his. She would probably say she did this to try and look tough in front of him, but it was probably the stench of smoke resonating from his breath.
"It is a simple question doctor," Blu Spy said playfully. "All I need is an answer."
Mercy turned her face back towards the Blu Spy and spat right in his face. He sighed and wiped the spit off of his mask. He then brought up a fist and brought it down heavily on the device, breaking her finger. Mercy then let out a sharp cry of pain as this happened and held back her tears of pain.
Blu Spy then jostled the device off of her now broken finger and placed it onto the next one.
"Now I will ask you again, why are you here?" He asked again, with less patience than before.
Mercy didn't want to comply with the man but knew she had to in order to at least survive this whole ordeal.
"I was sent here, to learn about your conflict," She said to him, still in pain.
"Would you kindly elaborate on that answer, please," Blu Spy asked her with a condescending tone of voice.
"You're the genius, you figure it out," She said with a smirk.
Once again, Blu Spy brought down his fist, breaking the finger and preparing the next, causing Mercy to let out another shriek of pain.
"At the current rate you're going at, you will not be using this hand for a long time, now elaborate on your answer," Blu Spy snapped at her. He then pulled out his butterfly and held it just above her ring finger.
"I was sent by my friend Winston, he wanted to learn more about both groups here in the Badlands," She reluctantly explained to him.
"Well you know what they say," Blu Spy said with a smirk. "Curiosity killed the cat and it seems that you are the cat in this situation," He remarked smartly.
"Well this cat has claws," Mercy said as she jolted her head forward and headbutted the Blu Spy right in his face, causing him to fall backwards several paces.
"Well then, I guess I will have to remove a claw and teach the cat a lesson," Blu Spy said sinisterly. He then began to cut around the skin around the base of her ring finger, causing Mercy to grit her teeth at the stinging pain of it. He the grabbed the finger and started to twist it with all the force he could, causing Mercy to start screaming in extreme pain.
After a short time of struggling, Mercy's ring finger eventually popped out of the socket of the knuckle it was attached to. Tears were streaming down her face as the Blu Spy dangled the finger in front of her.
"Look what you made me do," He said in an apologetic manner. "Now you can't get married, such a shame for such a beautiful woman," Blu Spy he said as he wiped the tears off of her cheeks with his hand.
"Please, no more," Mercy whimpered to the Blu Spy which was barely audible.
"I'm sorry my l'ange," Blu Spy said to her. "But we have much more to talk about."
Mercy had no idea for how long it lasted, it seemed like an eternity. The pain, the constant pain, the fear and the sadness of it all. She felt like he had broken her down physically and mentally to the point where her personality had been broken.
The angel had been broken.
A/N: Well, that got dark pretty quick didn't it? Now I feel really bad for putting Mercy through that, but it's all part of the story so everything will be hi-ho pip and dandy.
