The week went by faster than I thought it would and I soon find myself back in the professor's laboratory. Upon noticing us from his position behind his desk, he quickly stands up and practically sprints to his closet. He comes out with a cardboard box and places it on top of a lab table. Bane, with barely noticeable excitement, strides towards the box and opens it. He pulls out a dark glass bottle and studies it before sitting it on the table and digging through the box again. Once he's satisfied with what he's found he looks back at the things he's laid out. He rips off the plastic wrapping off a syringe and the protective cover off the needle while I watch from beside the door. He picks up the glass bottle with his free hand and pushes the needle through the top of the bottle and fills the syringe with, what I assume to be his new pain medication. I'm surprised by his will power when he plunges the needle into his own vein.
Though the doctor is trying to keep his composure, sweat is practically pouring down his face and neck. You think a man as knowledgeable as he would be able to mask his face. or at least have a little confidence. A distant memory of Bane struggling past his bonds to try and snap my neck flashes in my mind and I remember what it's like to be on the receiving end of that glare.
"It should take around an hour before it takes effect," he manages to say. In return Bane lounges against the table and I pull out a chair and sit next to him. Though sitting here for an hour is excruciatingly boring, watching the professor squirm in his chair is quite amusing. Time ticks by slowly and once the hour is complete Bane reaches up and unstraps his mask. His mask clangs against the table as he places it there. The doctor gives an almost inaudible gasp, obviously expecting Bane to have some sort of deformity. I look up at him and my body starts to tingle. I forgot just how handsome his face is. A shock runs up my spine whenever he looks down and his hazel eyes clash with my blue ones.
We sit there for another thirty minutes before Bane picks up the box and balances it on his hip. The professor speaks up once Bane reaches his desk. "The injections should last for five hours."
"You better pray that it does and that no side effects occur. I have decided to spare your life if you do cross me. Instead I will cut off your tongue, gouge out your eyes, chop off your ears, and saw off your hands. One by one. As soon as you heal from one amputation I will begin another. You will never speak, see, hear, or do anything involving science again. You will be disgraced by your country and once you can't stand your own pathetic existence anymore you'll kill yourself and do the job for me," Bane threatens.
His voice, in all it's menacing unmasked glory, brings that unfamiliar tingling feeling back. We walk down the stairs and people finally notice us. Though it's more women than men. I catch the lecherous looks sent Bane's way and glare at anyone who dares glance my way. I grab Bane's hand when I see a women debating on approaching us and smirk at the jealous look she gives me in return. Bane looks down at our clasped hands confusedly, but thinks nothing of it and continues walking towards home.
