For two days, Bel had been chained to the bed. He hadn't heard from the Varia at all, and the only contact he had had with people was through the Lightning Arcobaleno coming in to examine his stomach with medical tools. Bel didn't know what had been done to him, but after constantly being force-fed medication he didn't need – hell, what the medication was even for, he truly had no clue – he had begun feeling very sick, and his stomach was causing him a lot of pain. Bel wasn't the kind of person to let this show; he instead hid it as best he could, trying to formulate a plan to escape – but no matter what he came up with, it was useless.

Laying on his side, Bel stared at the door as it opened. He glared hatefully as Verde stepped in, with a small mob of men and two women behind him. Trying to retain the small amount of dignity he had left, Bel sneered. "What do you want?"

Verde chuckled, not saying a word as he jumped up onto the bed. Withdrawing a syringe from his pocket, he pricked his captive's neck with it and injected the fluid into Bel's body before saying, "I never did tell you why I took you, did I?"

"Fuck you!"

"Oh, I'm afraid you won't be getting that pleasure; instead, these gentlemen behind me will be having that honour."

Bel couldn't hide the look of horror these words instilled in him; what… the fuck…? "…"

"You see…" Verde fought back a laugh as he put his hand on Bel's cheek in a mock-soothing gesture. "I've always wondered if there is a way for males to become pregnant, and if it is possible, if the process can be quickened. I've attempted it on a few males before, but they didn't last long; the process killed them. That's why I requested you in particular; you are young, healthy, and above all, a Varia member; you should be able to handle such a delicate situation better than most."

"You're fucking sick; there's no way I'm going to get pregnant!" Bel tensed up as panic started filling him; looking at all those men in the doorway… If Verde was serious about this, then…

Verde shook his head and said, "That's what the other test subjects said, but the baby did indeed begin developing; however, their bodies were not suited to carrying, and it killed them."

"I refuse! I'm not -!" Bel quietened down at this, feeling himself getting hot, despite the fact that his room was cold. He frowned as he took notice of a strange feeling running through him, and he immediately understood what was wrong; that needle had been different from the others. "What was in that needle before, baby?"

"An aphrodisiac."

Bel's eyes widened, and for the first time since he was a little boy, he felt like crying; he was exhausted, stressed, and now he was being told he might be raped any minute now; that would be enough to set many people on the verge of tears. In the quietest voice he had used since his arrival here, the boy said, "I don't want sex from anyone. I do not give my consent. If any of them so much as come near me, when I get out of here, I will give the lot of you the slowest, most painful death I can muster."

"Yes, but you have to get out first, and that isn't going to happen." Verde was as calm as ever as he waved his hand at the others by the door. The two women stepped forward, making their way to the bed. "I have given these lovely ladies some experimental drugs, too. I would like to test how quickly their pregnancies can be rushed as well. I hope you'll enjoy your time with them; the other men will take you as soon as you are done with the women."

Bel whimpered at this, flinching when one of the women reached out and caressed his face in a seductive manner. His dignity was forgotten as he knew there was nothing he could do to stop this from happening to him, and he resembled nothing but a frightened little boy, whimpering for Verde. "I don't want this! Let me go, or I'll kill you all!"

Verde didn't reply; he just left the room and closed the door behind him. Bel felt as if his entire world fell apart at this, knowing that his one and only hope of stopping this had turned their back on him. Unable to stop the first tear from rolling down his cheek, the boy tried desperately to buck off the hands that were working to undo his belt, but it was useless; no matter what he did, he couldn't get away.

It had been a long time since Bel had been frightened enough to scream, but here he was; sixteen-years-old and in hysterics as he was raped repeatedly by men and women alike for hours on end.

When Bel was finally left alone, he didn't care for anything but the fact that he could now curl into a trembling ball and cry his heart out, and if anyone saw him, he couldn't care; his first time had been rape, and nothing he had ever been through had scared him like that did.

~~XX~~

Bel didn't know how much time had passed before the door opened again. He flinched as his heart started racing at the thought that it could be those same people back - but instead, it was Verde.

Bel forced his tears to stop as he snarled. "I fucking hate you… You'll be the first one I kill…"

Verde rolled his eyes as he jumped onto the bed with a few medical tools in hand. He reached out to slide Bel's semen-stained shirt up to reveal his stomach, but he stopped when Bel let out a cry and moved as far away as he possibly could. He showed no remorse as he simply followed the boy, and when he finally was able to stand next to the trembling body, the Arcobaleno completely disregarded the frightened tears that were now rolling down his victim's face.

"Hmm…" Verde tapped at his chin before he pulled a scanner of some sort to his side. "No hint of pregnancy just yet."

Unable to stop himself from snapping, Bel growled, "You can't even tell this early in a girl!"

"Yes; usually it takes a few weeks. However, my equipment is far advanced, and it knows when someone has been impregnated. I must congratulate you, though; both women I sent in to you have tested very likely to be pregnant. I will let you know the results of your children if they survive the incubation."

Bel gasped at these words as fresh tears fell from his eyes. It was true he had slowly matured enough through his teenage years to decide that he would one day like to have children when he was older, but this…

This was just…

"Fuck… you…" His face went as pale as a sheet as Bel sobbed silently and continued to tremble.

"Oh, you are wrong again; if you enjoy the sex that much, you'll be happy to hear that I will send the men back to your room within the hour."

"No…" Terrified by these words, Bel's tears came harder. Resorting to something he had never thought he thought he would ever do, he begged like the commoners he looked down on. "Please, no… Please… D-don't…"

Verde did nothing but sneer, remaining silent as he finished up his tests. When he was done, he jumped off the bed and walked towards the door. "I will send the men to your room very soon. I advise you to rest as much as you can, because the only rest you'll be getting is when I come to check you. Other than that, you will be a very busy boy."

Bel sobbed as he looked anywhere but at Verde; no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't understand what he had done for this to happen to him. Why had… his own teammates betrayed him by sending him here…?

Wishing he could understand what he had done wrong, Bel tried to hide away in his head, but the reality of having people do things to him he didn't want and had never done before was too overwhelming; with agonised screams and cries, Bel could only beg to be left alone, but his wishes were never heeded; not even once.
