(Carla's P.O.V.) -3 hours later, in a unknown place-
I groaned, rubbing my neck when I felt something stopping my arms from reaching full height above my head, and I looked behind me, gasping as I saw chains stopping me from moving anywhere beyond 10 feet as I experimented soon enough. I looked around to see three walls in solid stone, with one wall entirely glass, with the floor in solid cement. I can tell that it was a one-way seeing glass. I could see several humans in suits, yet they didn't see me at all as I could move, and nothing could grab their sight. Behind me, is a loft bed, almost like it's built into the wall, in the far corner is a circular stall with a curtain. I could just see the outline of a shower head and a toilet altogether which grossed me out as honestly, a showerhead and a toilet should be respectively separated.
I was grateful for seeing that I am still wearing my clothes, realizing that I must have been put here not too long ago. Unfortunately, there wasn't a clock anywhere. I had a suspicion that Hun was ordered by someone else, not Karai, to electrocute and bring me and the others. I gasped as I realized that I haven't seen skin or hide of my best friends or mate, "Oh, no. Raph, Mikey, Sal, where are you?!". I called out in fear and horror.
"You shouldn't bid worry upon those freak turtles. I am very interested in why you and your male friend ally with them when they are not like us.". a soft yet cool voice sounded out, and I turned around to see the one and only Baxter Stockman. He was standing before a piece of the glass wall, as I came closer, but was stopped by those darn chains as I was barely five feet away from Stockman. I could see air holes in the wall, and I knew anyone could hear me still. I narrowed my eyes. I couldn't tell him that I know about him, but I can tell I know of him once he introduces himself.
"Tell me your name and I will tell you why I ally with them.". I replied stoically. Stockman raised an eyebrow, and chuckled lowly, "I am Baxter Stockman.". I purposefully widened my eyes, "It was you! You have injured my friends, destroyed buildings, robbed banks! They told me all about you. Stockman, the sicko scientist who'd sunk down so low to the Shredder.".
Stockman wrinkled his nose angrily as he huffed slightly, "Very well, you have allied with them, but let's see how they shall let you in once I will change you!". I blinked in confusion, frowning like I have a bitter taste toward Stockman's attitude. "You won't break me!". I snarled lowly as I lowered myself defensively. Stockman's face changed into a calculating, frightening smile.
"You are similarly behaving like the red-banded turtle.". I widened my eyes, yelled at him as I tried to charge at him, "What are you doing to Raph?!". Stockman reacted like he has done nothing, "Oh, him? Nothing yet to determine my research so far, but he's very promising. His DNA will be glorious! Imagine, a army of clones and they will follow me, and no one else!".
I exhaled, "If you touch him, Mikey, or Sal, I am gonna kill ya!". Stockman said nothing, waved a hand, then I screamed, the familiar shock of the fire-hot electrocution. It lasted barely five seconds before it was gone, and I was panting heavily, my heart beating so fast and hard, not realizing that I had dropped down to the floor in my torture session. "If you don't say any more threats like that, I will not treat you like just now, understand?". purred Stockman. I knew I couldn't last any torture sessions if it was any higher degree and longer than merely five seconds, as I was a human. I knew the Turtles are made of stronger stuff so they can stand the torture sessions, yet I couldn't stop thinking about Mikey as he was practically the baby of the family. I knew Sal is highly protective of him, even more than Raph or the others.
I couldn't know if I said any further threats, the others could get the same treatment thanks to me, and I also knew that if they could do the same, I could get the same treatment, thanks to them. I knew they couldn't betray me nor me to them. I hated to sink down to a sicko scientist, but Stockman would be technically right. I sighed deeply, and looked up, glaring at him, "Fine, you win. Can I please see, and talk to them?".
Stockman blinked, stroked his chin in thought, "Since you have asked politely, I shall allow you to see and talk with one of them, only one.". I exhaled, and closed my eyes as I considered the choice. I knew if Sal was offered the same thing, he'd choose Mikey, and I couldn't help wanting to see Raph as I knew he could fight back all he could muster for, but he could be bruised, injured, or worse. I opened my eyes, and I replied softly, "Take me to Raph, please.".
Stockman nodded briefly, and then signaled something to someone nearby, and I felt the chains opening up, hearing the soft hiss, and I exhaled softly, rubbing them to flow the blood back to work as they were a bit raw from being rubbed in the metal. I got up a bit shakily, but strongly enough that I could stand up calmly as I heard a whoosh sound from the air hole piece, and I blinked, a bit surprised to see that it wasn't a piece of window glass, but a glass door.
A group of four guardsmen surrounded the door, their faces covered by metal masks, with Stockman leaving the group, replying one last comment. "Just follow them, behave, and you shall be allowed 15 minutes with the Turtle. Now, if you may excuse me, I have work to do.". I stepped forward quickly, glancing at each one briefly before I was in the middle of a circle, walking in pace with them. I exhaled a breath, hoping that Raph is okay when I get there. I wonder if Sal is meeting Mikey similarly, and I hope they are okay too.
