New update. To be honest, I don't know what to think of the outcome of this chapter. At first it was so hard to start writing this kind of stuff because it's far from my comfort zone but once I was busy with it, it became easier but now it's finished and I'm a little scared it's a little too much. Like, it's not realistic anymore.
I won't hold you up so enjoy reading it anyway:D Most interrogations/torture ideas are shared by swiftbolt99 LOL
Chapter 7: Interrogation of a psycho Cat
Selina follows Bruce out the front door with a happy skip in her treed. She was looking forward for their next action all day because Bruce decided it might be better to let Thomas sit alone for a while. It was the billionaire's way to let his so called brother know that he's in action now and he isn't.
Though Selina loved to see the new side of Bruce, she still was very impatiently. There were moments she excused herself to Bruce and said she would check on Thomas and his ropes but Bruce assured her each and every time she tried, Alfred knew how to tie ropes so Thomas would be perfectly fine.
Alfred opens the garage door and Thomas head instantly jerks toward them. Soon Bruce entered the garage with Alfred and Selina in tow, he saw they hadn't taken off the blindfold and the duct-tape.
The young billionaire walks with a blank expression toward his so called brother and stands still parallel of him. Alfred stays by the door while Selina follows her friend with a smirk. Then, with one quick movement of her hands, the cat-like girl snatches the blindfold and the duct-tape off.
Thomas lets out a scream of pain and blinks his eyes rapidly because of the lack of light they had for the past few hours. Soon as his eyes are adjusted he spots Bruce inches away from him and asks with a fake questioned look; "Bruce, what's going on? Why am I here?"
The young boy feels a sharp pain in his left cheek when Selina slapped him, and Bruce adds with a cold stare in his eyes; " You won't talk unless I'm asking you.
Thomas tries to block out the pain in his face as his eyes dart from cold staring Bruce to angry looking Selina up to the butler by the door. He can see it's dark so that means hours had past. The court would be pissed at him for not doing what they ordered him to do.
The young boy knows he still has a change to fulfil his tasks. By the looks of it he's in a shed and the situation he's in shows he'll be interrogated soon. Whatever they would do to him, he wouldn't break.
Bruce takes a step closer and asks between clenched teeth; "Why are you in Gotham?"
"Bruce, I told you; I found out you are my twin brother and I wanted to meet you. When I saw all those poor street kids I knew I had to do something, with you beside me," Thomas replies with a sad look in his eyes.
Selina rolls her eyes annoyed as she starts circling around him like a shark, never taking her eyes off of him; "Wrong answer, punk."
Thomas opens his mouth to object but Bruce cuts him off, asking; "For who are you working?"
Thomas frowns; "Bruce, what are you talking about?"
Bruce takes in a long deep, exasperated breath before turning on his heels and says as he makes way to the door; "I gave you a chance to confess everything, Thomas." Bruce stops by the door and turns one more time to look at Selina, who still stood beside Thomas, and said; "Have fun, Selina."
"Oh, I will," Selina purrs with a smirk which makes Thomas instantly scared. He locks his eyes onto Selina who starts pacing up and down, tauntingly. The garage door closes and Thomas Wayne Jr. Is left alone with Selina.
Thomas watches in shock how Selina takes a torque wrench from her jacket's inside pocket and lingers closer. Before he knows what happen, he feels a sharp pain going through his face. His cheek becomes red at the spot where she just hit him with the tool.
"That's for trying to kill me!"
Thomas opens his eyes and stares murderous into her green eyes but soon she hit him in the face with the torque wrench, again.
"That's for trying to kill Alfred!" There was only a split second before she hit him for the third time, only harder than the other two times. She even broke a few teeth in the process. "That's, for trying to kill Bruce Wayne!"
Thomas grins at her momentarily and spits some blood on the floor before grinding angrily; "What is he to you anyway? I mean, it's not like you mean anything to him."
Selina simply swipes him across the face, leaving a cat-like scratch right at the side of his left eye. Thomas clenches his teeth in pain and then throws a dirty look at Selina from the corner of his eyes as he follows her down the room.
The next thing he sees is her turning back to face him, grinning from ear to ear. That's when he notices the shock stick in her hands. His eyes re-fill with fear as she slowly approaches him.
Outside, Bruce and Alfred wait for Selina to call them back in once she's done, but it appears she isn't when they hear shocking noises followed by Thomas screaming and Selina shouting questions in between shocks.
"No, stop, aagh!"
"Then tell me, who ordered that attack!"
Thomas clenches his teeth and fists, breathing in and out to block out the pain as he scowls full of hatred up at Selina. Then, he shakes his head with a taunted grin and says; "I'm not going to tell you anything. Whatever you do to me you little bitch, it's not going to work!"
With a quick toss of her hand the shock stick flies through the air and lands into the corner of the garage. Then, Thomas watches her walk around her for a moment before she heads back to the back-pack Bruce had left on the floor.
"Let me ask you a question, Thomas," Selina says tauntingly as she picks up the bag. "Have you ever heard of the Chinese Water Torture?" Selina turns back to Thomas to find him gulping, which means a definite 'yes'.
Selina walks with the bag back to Thomas and opens the zipper; "Now, this was actually Bruce's idea but since it might take a long, long time before you would eventually turn nuts, I made a spin to it. I'm a very impatient girl."
The young girl takes out a thermos can and drops the bag to the floor, approaching Thomas who darts his eyes anxiously from left to right.
"Instead of water, I'll be using steaming hot coffee that will dripple down on your forehead," Selina continues as she fills a bottle with the hot liquid. Before Thomas could even object, the street girl grabs a fist full of hair and pulls the boys head back.
The sudden pull on his hair makes Thomas yelp in pain, momentarily. Then, a droplet of hot coffee touches the skin of his forehead and the young boy howls in pain, screaming he still won't say a thing. If she really wants him to break, she has to come with something better.
Selina ignores him and gives his head another yank. Another droplet hits his forehead and Thomas breaths in and out, trying to block the pain. Another droplet, and another, and another, and another droplet falls onto his forehead with a few seconds in between.
Outside, Alfred stares at his watch. It seems that kid had more back-bone than the butler thought he would have. He's already enduring Selina's Hot Coffee Torture for more than five minutes.
"Tell me, for who are you working?!"
Thomas shakes his head from left to right and Selina yanks it still with a quick pull. The boy yelps shortly.
"Who ordered the attack on my friend, Bruce?!"
Thomas closes his lips tight and stares angrily up at Selina who's hoovering her face over his as she pierces her green eyes into his brown ones.
A taunting smile curls Thomas's lips for a moment and he says, snarling; "Friend? Is that really all?"
"Shut up!" Selina pulls his head back with a painful yank. Thomas seems not taken aback by it.
"All this, for just a friend? Are you sure you don't mean; boyfriend?" Selina stares back angrily, pressing her lips tightly. Thomas starts to smirk more; "I can see it in your eyes, don't try to deny it. Poor street girl desperately in love with billionaire boy, Bruce Wayne."
Selina drops another drop of coffee on the kid's forehead, shouting; "Shut up! You don't know anything about me and Bruce!"
"Really?" Thomas snarls, sensing he hit a nerve and tries to block out the drips of coffee that is still falling on his forehead. Only this time, they are a little bigger. "You know what, I bet Bruce doesn't even see it. I bet, even though you block out the thoughts of being with him, and even though you keep telling yourself to not let him in, you let him in and still ask yourself why it hurts so much when he breaks that cute thing inside your chest? Then, you tell yourself it won't happen again, but surprise, it does happen again and you know why? Because you're a poor, pathetic street girl who desperately wants to be loved. Newsflash; no one cares about street trash!"
Suddenly Alfred and Bruce hear the most painful scream they had ever heard and for a moment they wonder what Selina was doing in there. It so happens that Thomas's insults made Selina unscrew the bottle and emptied the hot liquid into his lap. Right now, he was going through an excruciating pain and he squirmed from left to right on his seat, trying to free himself.
Selina walks around the boy and to the light switches on the wall. She turns around for a moment to look blank at the kid who's still in pain and says then; "For your information; I can see in the dark. Now, let's see who's pathetic!"
And with that, Selina turns off the lights. Thomas stops squirming the moment the light went out and darts his eyes frantically from left to right as he tries to spot Selina's movements.
"Wait, what are you doing?" The young boy's voice breaks slightly.
Selina simply grins; "You'll find out, you just don't know when."
Thomas jerks his head the second he hears a soft rustling on his left, staring into the darkness but it's too dark. Then he remembers something. Didn't she say she could see in the dark?
That thought made the kid a little anxious for a moment until he figured she was just bluffing. No one can see in the dark, right? She just said it to freak him out.
"Look, I know what you're trying to do and it's not working, alright?" Thomas tried to make his voice sound steady but somehow failed.
"Cat's, I like them," Selina says and moves from one side of the garage to the other loud enough for Thomas to hear. "You know why? They can sit still for a long time, pry at the little mouse that knows the cat is there and knows it will attack, only not know when. You must be feeling that little mouse right now, because I definitely feel like that cat."
Thomas tries to move his head as far as possible when he hears a rustling coming from behind him. Then it's on his left, and then on his right. Could it be true then? Could she see in the dark after all?
It was as if she could read his mind because he feels a soft brush down his neck. He jolts up like he just received a bolt of electricity. He even started to feel his blather act up.
Thomas can hear her walk around but can't really figure out where it's coming from. One second she sounds far away and the next she sounds so close, or maybe it's just his mind that's playing tricks on him.
"How do you feel, Thomas?" The boy jerks his head alarmed to the right when he hears her voice in his ear but then a jolt up electricity runs through his arm. Obviously she had found the shock stick again. "How's your maggot doing?"
Thomas howls in pain when a jolt of electricity runs through his lower half when she touched him in the lap with the stick.
Selina grabs another fist full of hair and jerks his head back, shouting; "Now, tell me for who you're working before I turn your maggot's little buddies into crunchy deep-fried meatballs!"
"No, please don't!" Thomas screams with fear as he feels her sleeve creep down his arm when she moves it back toward his lap. "Don't!"
Thomas feels the tears run down his cheeks and hears Selina growl in his ear; "Names! Now!"
"I can't give you their names because they never told me!" Thomas gasps in fear and feels Selina's arm rub down his as she moves the stick back to his lap. "No, please, you have to believe me!"
"That woman you were talking to at the charity ball, in the office, who is she?!"
"I don't know!" Thomas shouts but another jolt of electricity runs through his body and new tears start to form in his eyes.
Selina growls dangerously; "Last chance, punk. Names or say goodbye to your little buddies!"
"No! Don't!" Thomas cries in panic and suddenly blurts out a few names in the amount of time he had before he implodes into a sobbing mess.
Selina releases his hair and says tauntingly; "In Gotham, crying is permissible, but futile." Then she turns around to the door and calls out for Bruce to come back in.
The garage door moves open and Bruce enters as Alfred turns the light switch back on. The young billionaire walks up to Selina and stares down onto the sobbing mess, momentarily.
"How did you communicate with them?" Bruce asks coldly.
Thomas, still sobbing and crying lifts up his head and looks defeated into his twin's eyes and stutters as reply; "I've…been…communicating with…them in some private chat room…on my laptop…" More tears roll down his face as he continues; "You can find it in my room. All their plans, all the information they shared with me, it's still on it."
"This better be the truth or else my friend here is going to have some little more fun with you."
Bruce turns around on his heels with a cold, emotionless face and walks back to the door. Selina looks one more time at the sobbing mess, piercing her eyes coldly into his before she walked after Bruce without saying anything.
So, what do you think. Like I said earlier, it's hard for me to write this kind of stuff mainly because I have no idea what bursts from my imagination. Anyway, as you can see this is the results and to be honest it scares me a little, if that makes sense. It's so different from my other stories. They are fluffy and funny and this is... I don't really know how to describe it but I guess you know what I'm trying to say:D
Please tell me if this is still totally in-character for Selina or not. Also, is this still realistic or did I go overboard with the whole interrogation? Let me know your thoughts by review :D
