I do not own Teen Titans or Tokyo Ghoul
Kakuhou: Bag that stores RC cells, generates kagune
Logan's P.O.V
When I woke up there was nothing to see, not because the things in the room were too few or boring, to this day I still shiver in fear whenever I wonder, what kind of horrors laid in that place, when I first touched the floor of that hellhole where god had forgotten to look and no light could reach. The lack of all light frightened me in a way I never expected, sure I'd been alone in a dark room many times, yet in those places a little light illuminates the place so you can barely distinguish shapes, and when there was not even that I always shift into an animal that can see in the dark, not this time.
Tied into a chair I was, no light, no sound but the hight pitch of my ears, my mind was stunned, unable to move a finger, much less take the shape of an animal. Only my sense of smell detected something, the room was full of humidity and a smell of death, like animal corpses piled up in a small space rooting, the origin of the smell was something I could not guess, the time it had there was not that hard, yet just as confusing, the faintest sent was from a few hours lots of blood surely came from the wounds that were inflicted in the meat, the smell increased depending on the time it had spent there, all I could distinguish was up to 3 and a half weeks after which all smells that were far longer blurred together.
Knowing the smell didn't help me, many possible explanations of how the smell came to be, a slaughter house, a serial killer hideout, or something of the sort, all of those options would've been good. Reality tends to hit you in the face, and gives you worse things than the ones you may imagine. Two men came through a door in the middle of the room, his feelings told him the room was now lighted and noticed a blindfold over his eyes.
The pair of man did not utter a word, all I could hear was a shuffling noise and a lot of metallic noises, no sounds were heard for a while, until it came a piercing needle came through my eye and deposited an unknown liquid in it, a burning feeling spread the experience felt as if my eye would melt and fall from the conducts at the back of my socket, I gritted my teeth in pain.
My toe was cut, the nerves and bone were severed, I screamed loud unable to hold it in, the pain faded in a second as a new toe replaced him, then the set of my ten feet fingers were cut clean simultaneously, my screams echoed in the small room, few seconds later it was all healed but the pain remained. This time my left leg was cut transversely and the same liquid they put into my eye was poured in the fresh open wound, this halted my regeneration, so my caretakers started to dissect my limb muscle by muscle in a nearly scientific interest, when they got to my bone they took some kind of hammer and smashed it, to latter crack it and took the bone out.
The process was repeated with all of my muscles and bones, leaving the organs intact my screams stop briefly when my vocal cords were cut, the arms were done simultaneously, all of my ribs were ripped out before taking away the tissue that wrap them, after this butchery was done my regeneration was now happening really slow and the pain increased. Something was forced down my throat, what it was I'm not sure, all I know is how foul it tasted, somewhat it made me feel better and my regeneration was brought back to its former state.
Then it was the organs turn, the heart was first, then both kidneys, my intestines, the stomach, all others followed, suddenly my blindfold was taken from my eyes and as they grew accustomed to light one was taken from its socket. My reminding eye saw two men with maniac faces staring at me as a rare specimen, lastly came the brain they opened my skull and I blacked out as they started cutting.
When my consciousness came back the world was black once more, no sounds could be heard, everything was in an undisturbed calm, leaving it that way was easier my body did not respond so it seemed pointless. As time ticked by I was left with my imagination running wild, filled with fear of what could happen tomorrow, if I remained alive to be tortured another day, or be left to root in this dark room where no light entered, or plainly executed.
What future had reserved for me, I did not know, all I knew for sure was the despair this passivity caused in my soul, always in remembrance of the horrors this room held, awaiting for the precise moment to strike in my weakest part, even if I could not know which was it. The darkness changed, as my mind started to mold it in a thousand ways to end up, the pain that would be inflicted upon me.
I was unable to hold my shivers, the darkness had turned against me all my instincts were in an unsettled turmoil in complete awareness of the incoming danger. The sea of darkness flooded upon me, drowning me slowly, I laid in the bottom of an ocean with its pressure crushing me, killing me slowly so that I could feel every ounce of it's infinite wrath and punishment. Lying in the deep and not a soul pitied me, or acknowledged my existence. Then it hit me: I will die here and no one will notice.
A big dark figure stood beside me, it radiated warmness and made me feel safe, it was not the safeness of a mother gives to her child, nor the one a friend standing beside you when you need him most and feel unable to utter words to express your feelings, it was paternal something I had long forgotten, after all Mento never gave me this safeness, since my parents died I had not felt it. "Father?" I said, he smiled "It's all right son I'll stay by your side while you sleep, no monster of darkness will touch you." As I fell asleep from exhaustion I saw his dark blue hair and tall figure.
-So what do you think of the new pet?
-He's a real piece of work, his regeneration is top grade, he has 3 Kakuhou, and even stayed awake during the whole examination, newcomers tend to faint during the first cuts. I'll enjoy breaking him.
-Man you never change always playing around with those monsters, but it's fine ,not like they can sue us. Be careful with it though if you rush things and it dies on your watch the head researcher will ask for your head.
-Why?
-Well, it seems to have some wired abilities the researchers are going nuts about it, saying it will change the balance and helps bring the tree down.
-Well, I suppose not killing it isn't that bad, after all it is the best toy from around here, not to mention the investigators that have an eye on him for a new quinque.
-Yeah, let's just take it easy.
Day 2 Logan's P.O.V
The same pair of man from yesterday, this time they removed my blindfold and let the light fall on me and waited for me to get used to it, they applied some of the liquid from yesterday at my eye, then the tallest of the pair spoke in a soft voice "Can you tell me your name?" I struggled to make my voice come out, it was raspy and quiet "Shi...Shibazaki Ryusei" the other man wrote something down, as his partner asks "Occupation?" my voice improved a little "Student at Mihama high school, I just graduated. Where am I?"
The smaller man smirked and took a knife and stabbed my leg with it piercing it all the way to my bone and left the cutting utensil buried in the flesh, to that I merely gritted my teeth and looked at the man with rage, the taller one said "We will be asking the questions, you filth do not speak unless you are ordered to do so understood?" I nodded in agreement.
The interrogator gave a displeased look and made a sing to his partner who took a pair of big tweezers and crushed the bones of my little finger, I gave a loud shout, the tall man looked at me as if expecting something, a little while latter his partner continued with my ring finger the only sound I could made was a high pitched scream, then I noticed I had not answered his last question so between my loud cries I said "YES" the short one crushed my index and thumb while his partner asked "Yes what?" holding my shouts I muttered "Yes, sir"
This time the rest of my right hand bones were crushed while the man seemingly chuckled "I'm sorry what was that? I couldn't hear you, don't tell me you can't speak louder, 'cuse it would be hard to believe with how hard you are squealing, if there's something I don't like is liars. Care to repeat that?" panting after all the recent use of my vocal cords I answered aloud "YES, SIR!"
-Good, now tell me what were you looking at that school, was it the girls meat or the intel on us that the school may have since we are the main sponsor?
-I... just went to study,.. that's the stu...dents duty... beca...use I'm hu...man.
A loud crack was heard as my left leg was broken with some of the bones surging from my flesh
-I thought that it was clear that I don't like lies. Let's try again. Why were you there?
-T..t..to make fri..edns
This time two of my ribs were forcefully taken out
-You truly are a thick head. Why were you there?
-I..was...try...ing...to learn...hu...uman...be...be...havior to...infil...trate...a government building.
-Now that's a better excuse, but I don't buy it
The little man took a pencil and stabbed my eye, it was difficult to maintain consciousness. The men in front of me were enjoying the slow mutilation of my body, no matter how much I screamed my cries would not be heard, except for the pair in front of me which seemed to enjoy the spectacle more the louder the sounds got. In despair, I shouted: "I'M HUMAN!I'M HUMAN!I'M HUMAN!I'M HUMAN!I'M HUMAN!"
The punishment was more severe the pair had a pissed look in their eyes.
-Don't go speaking in other languages, it won't give you any pity, as a matter a fact I despise those U.S pigs that forced us to surrender at the loss of our culture to them, taking theirs as role model when all we were doing was to protect what we held dear, but in the eyes of the world we were monsters capable of destroying this world for our own benefit, and for that they destroyed everything we had by monstrous means, while they were looked up as heroes that won a crusade against evil. You will not speak in that language in front of me ever again.
The pair took some knives and made cuts at the base of my jaw and all around my face to finally tear the skin off my face and cut my nose of in an uneven manner to cause more pain. My cries helped the torture since my face was gone the meat beneath it ached with every contraction of my muscles, after all the session tiredness took a toll on my regeneration that was now much slower, taking nearly 15 minutes of agony to be complete again.
The interrogation (if it can be called that) lasted 6 hours, it had a bit of rules to avoid the pain: if I stayed silent when asked the punishment was made so I could suffer for 10 to 15 minutes, answering something they did not want to hear resulted in the same way, a correct answer was unpunished, yet if I answered what they wanted for 15 minutes then 90% of my bones would be broken.
At the third hour I fainted from pain, so I was woken by a series of electric discharges through cables attached to my leg nerves, this was repeated at the fourth hour and a half hour after that then in the fifth was repeated 6 times, in the last hour it was every 5 minutes. The executioners enjoyed every moment of it and did their best to keep me awake, after they decided to call it a day quite a lot of yesterday's horrible food was forced down my throat while his partner used a red hot metal to brand me with the word scum over my face.
The night was cold and darkness took over once more, this time no visions appeared, only the hand of last night's man rested over my shoulder as I cried myself to sleep feeling a little peace and safe with that hand over my shoulder the last thing I remember of that night was saying "Father I've missed you".
