TORTURE AHEAD

Bane

Chapter Fourteen

Trowa woke up to a hard slap in the face. He opened his eye and found that he was in a bright, ever so bright room. A familiar red haired man in front of him. His eye widened and he tried to back away, only to find he was tied to a wall with thin wire, that was already digging into his skin. The wire twisted and tangled around him like a black widows web.

"You bastard!" Trowa spat out. Bane only smiled and slapped Trowa again, causing his head to snap to the side and the wire to dig into his neck and slice into his face.

"Everyone says that, but I just don't see it. Not like an idiot like you would know the difference. Did you have trouble learning your own power. I heard that it wouldn't even bond with you. That's sad, a power not wanting to bond with it's owner. You must really be slow, and to forget your childhood, shame." Bane said, leaning against the wall.

"I may not remember my childhood, but I'm-." Trowa said. Bane only smiled and interrupted him.

"That's why I've managed to catch ALL of you, and you didn't even know it." Bane stood up straight, heading for the door. "I heard you cry when there are no shadows. I heard you laugh when there are no shadows. I wonder if it is a little of both, after all, you did get bashed up pretty hard back then, Trowa. I was told that it sent you over the lines of Insanity." Bane said with a smile.

"Not nearly as far as you." Trowa spat out.

"Well, Trowa, you will find that there are no shadows in this room." And with that Bane left. Trowa's eye shot around the room, looking for Bane to be wrong. There were always shadow's…always. But there were none. It was all light. He couldn't hide. He couldn't escape.

Trowa's lip twitched and he started laughing, not a fun laugh, one that boarded on insanity and hysteria. Tears started spilling from his eye and his body started shaking, causing the wire to draw blood. After only a few minutes it started dripping on the white floor under him.

Wufei awoke to a drop of cold water hitting his forehead. He jumped to his feet and glared at the red haired man in front of him.

"Who are you?" He growled out. (1)

"Me?" Bane said, pointing to himself. Wufei glared at him.

"Yes you, you fucking moron." Wufei snapped.

"Oh!, Temper, temper. No need for your language. I always knew you were one to anger easily, always getting into trouble when you were young, burning houses while innocent people where in it. What would your parents think…wait I almost forgot, you killed them." Bane said with a smile.

"That is none of your business. It was not my fault." Wufei screamed. Taking a step forward he realized that he was chained to the ground. He blew threw his mouth, like he was whistling, only flames came instead of air. Bane merely swiped them to the side using his force power. "Oh, that's right they beat you didn't they."

"Well I have them all now, so it doesn't matter." Bane said with a smile.

"You damned bastard." Wufei yelled out.

"Have fun, dear." Bane said and walked out of the room.

Wufei started screaming as cold water filled the room. The water hissed and sizzled around his feet where it was boiling from his powers heating it up. Before to long it was up to his chin and it was all he could do but stay above water, the chains pulling him down. But the water stopped there. This was not a death sentence, just torture. He continued to yell, the cold water burning his skin.

Quatre was awake when Bane entered the room. He was chained in the middle of the room to the point that he couldn't move. Bane knelled down in front of him and cupped his face in his hands.

"What are you going to do to me?" He asked, his voice shaking. Bane smiled.

"Don't worry, there's no way I can physically hurt you. You're past is clean, and your soul is pure." Bane started laughing. "You're too cute to hurt. I'm after a much more beautiful face." Bane said seriously.

"Don't hurt him." Quatre said, talking about Duo. He knew Trowa could handle himself, he had probably already slipped into some shadows waiting for the right time to free him.

"I'm surprised that you're more worried about Duo, then Trowa. After all he's crying in the next room." Bane said. Quatre's eyes widened.

"What did you do?" He asked, not wanting to know the answer. A vent near the top of the room opened and the hysterical laughter could be heard. "NO!" Quatre screamed. Bane gagged him.

"I said I couldn't torture you physically, but how about mentally. Just listen to him laugh, imagine those tears running down his left cheek." Bane said. He stood and left. Quatre cried, listening helplessly as his love was tortured in the room next to him, his chest throbbing painfully.

Odin opened his eyes sleepily and looked around him. He was in a hot room, dry of any water. He rolled his eyes and yawned. "You stupid, pathetic dumb asses, I'm a fucking Water Volaer, you think this is torture." He yelled. Bane stuck his head in the room and smiled.

"Have fun." Was all he said. Odin rolled his eyes. He concentrated and waited until a bead of sweet dripped down his forehead he made it expand until the room filled with an inch of water.

But what Odin didn't expect was the shock he got once the water had settled. It surged threw his body and caused him to jerked violently like a seizer coursing through his blood stream.

Heero woke up to the sound of a snapping whip. His eyes focused on Bane and he glared. The sounds of a whip were coming from behind a curtain. There was a small whimper and Heero's eyes widened.

"What have you done!" He screamed, trying to pull away from the chair he was tied to. He was shocked back into submission. He blinked and looked at his wrists, two needles were sticking out of his wrists. He tried to pull away again, only to be shocked again. Then the whipping sound came. "You BASTARD!!!!!" He screamed. He noticed that Bane was covered in blood and wanted to vomit.

"Did you know that no matter how many times he is cut, or how many gallons of blood he looses, it just continues to come. The joys of having an eternal life." Bane said. Heero glared at him, closing his eyes when he heard Duo whimpering again, and the whip snapped on his flesh.

"You sick bastard." Heero said. Bane reached forward and ripped the necklace off Heero's neck.

"I think this will help to break his sprit." Bane said. He punched Heero in the nose, causing the blood to flow quickly. He made sure it dripped onto the purple gem. "You want to taste something really sweet?" Bane asked. Heero looked at him with disgust. Bane ran his finger threw the still wet blood on his shirt, then forced his finger into Heero's mouth. Heero felt like vomiting.

"You bastard, what have you done to him?" Bane smiled.

"Oh it's what I'm going to do to him, that'll really piss you off." He said and snapped his fingers. The curtain that was blocking his view opened and Heero's eyes widened at the amount of blood in the room. Duo laid in the middle of it, naked and covered in his own blood. Duo was shaking violently, trying to avoid the whips coming from one of the crew men. His leather wing from the last time they had meet Bane was lying next to him broken and battered.

Heero was shaking, he couldn't believe what he was seeing. There was another snap of the whip, Duo lifted his head, eyes wide in pain, but no sound came. Blood spilled from his mouth, adding to the mess in the room.

"That's enough." Bane ordered. The man left Duo on the ground, where he didn't move. Heero tried to break loose of his bonds again, this time getting a bigger shock. Bane laughed and walked threw the room, Heero noticed that there was a wave of some kind of liquid as he went. Heero watched in terror as Duo opened his eyes and saw Bane, immediately trying to back up in fear, tears streaming down his cheeks.

"Please…no more." Duo cried. Begging for Bane to stop. Bane backhanded him hard enough to send him into the wall, where he did nothing but lay there. Heero screamed at them, but they couldn't hear him. He tried to pull away again, but was only shocked again. Bane Grabbed Duo's hair and forced his head back. He held the bloodied necklace in front of Duo's eyes. Duo opened his eyes slowly, then saw then necklace. Heero wanted to scream out, wanted to run to his aid. He could see it in Duo's eyes. The boy gave up. His eyes dulled and he bowed his head. Bane frowned.

"What no tears?" Bane asked, lifting Duo's head. Duo didn't move, he didn't blink. Bane back handed him but Duo didn't even make a sound. That's when Heero saw it, mentally hitting himself for not remembering it. The circlet. It was there only hope if they were going to make it out of this alive. Heero focused on the gem ignoring the shocks running through his body and pulled it out of Duo's forehead when Bane stood. Bane grabbed it and made to put it back, fear flashing before his eyes, but Heero made sure that the iron shard melted. Bane backed away from Duo, watching him in horror.

"Hey." Heero looked over to see Odin sneaking up to him. He carefully pulled the needles out of his arms and untied him.

"It's going to get bad in here." Odin's eyes fell on Duo and he gave a small cry.

'What did that bastard do to him?" Odin asked.

"Don't worry about him right now, we need to get out of here." Heero said. But they froze and watched as Duo got to his feet, horns just above his brow, tail flicking wildly behind him, and spikes fully erect. They watched as he approached Bane in a slow and deadly walk. His eyes glowing, yet empty. A black shadow standing behind him. His movements were slow and lazy, like someone else was control his body.

Sorry for the short chapter but the next one is really long and has a lot going on. I was just setting it up. :D
