Ben's eyes were heavy. His head was throbbing and nearly every muscle ached. All he felt was pain as he struggled to open his eyes. He blinked a few times and lifted his head slowly to look around. Black walls with dim lights as far as he could see in a somewhat circular room. He tried to move but realized he was unable to. Looking down he saw his wrists and ankles held securely in place by locking mechanisms stuck to this weird metallic body board he was slightly leaned back in. He scowled in pain and pulled against his restraints but it was obviously futile to even try to wriggle out of them.
"Look who decided to wake up..." he heard behind him. He balled his fists and clenched his jaw as he watched the hooded supreme leader slowly walk around into his view.
"You slept for ages. I thought maybe you died."
"I couldn't be so lucky," he said staring directly into her face as soon as he could see it.
"You don't have to be so hostile with me. I did spare you after all-"
"After having three of my friends killed in front of me! I'd rather have died with them!" He yelled leaning forward towards her as much as possible. She leaned right back into his face, unfazed by him.
"After they killed several of MY men! Don't forget YOU were the one that started this confrontation!"
They both stared angrily into each other's faces.
"Doesn't matter anyway..." she said recomposing herself and backing away slightly.
"Once we get what we need from you you'll join them."
"What you need from me?" Ben said confused.
"Yes," The short woman said, now beginning to walk slowly around him, looking him up and down.
"It's none of your concern, but just know I plan on keeping you alive for awhile for...personal reasons. We'll keep it at that." She grinned. Ben felt a little confused and uncomfortable and watched her carefully as she was standing a bit too close to his body for his liking.
"First things first, we need to get you cleaned up. I'll have a few of my men escort you to the showers-"
"I'm not going willingly anywhere with anyone," Ben growled.
"Oh you will, I assure you," she said calmly, "then you are going to be held in a special cell. One that you should find more than accommodating. And after I extract some information from you, I think you'll find your stay will be quite adequate...as long as you behave yourself of course."
"I can almost promise you that won't be the case..."
"Then you will be punished!" Rey yelled loudly, startling Ben and rendering him momentarily speechless. The woman closed her eyes and took a deep breath in and out.
"I really wish you wouldn't make me lose my temper like this. I don't want to hurt you but if it you don't comply, then I won't have a choice."
"I'm not afraid of you..." Ben said lowly. She stepped up so she was right in his face.
"Not yet you aren't..."
