I glanced up at him. he was gazing thoughtfully into the distance. When he finds out that the Captain's DNA wasn't actually how I got the formula, I am a dead, beaten person. Out of all the things I wanted to do today, die wasn't really on the list. I wondered how long I could spam this out, and how much more off this pain I could cope with before snapping. I guess three days but at this rate, I'm lucky if I last the day. Or night. There's no windows and I have no sense of time.
"That does make sense," The Red Skull mused out loud. "However it is something already been discussed. Not good enough, Miss Dawes,"
I got beaten until I passed out.
I woke up a while later, lying in a puddle of my own piss, blood and vomit. I choked and coughed and spat out whatever mixture was lying in my mouth. I pushed myself up, wiping my mouth clean. Blood was crusted all over my face. I discovered I couldn't feel my legs. I could see them but not feel them. My breathing quickened and I began making noises of distress. I reached out to touch them but I couldn't. it was the most bizarre thing I had ever witnessed. I could feel my legs with my hands but they felt detached from my body, as if I were feeling up someone else's legs.
"Oh god," I whispered. "Oh god, oh god, oh god."
Part of me knew I could cope, adapt and change to the lifestyle of not having functioning legs but I was still freaked out. I won't be able to do any of my experiments or researching on my own. My life of solitude was over. I looked around, my heart hammering. I was back in my room, dumped on the floor. On the table was a tray of freezing food and water. It was the water I desired most. I winced as I dragged myself through the piss, blood and vomit towards the chair. I reached up and grabbed it with both my arms. Pain shot through my back. I let out a cry. I tried to move my legs but they wouldn't function. Taking several deep breaths I attempted to pull myself up. The chair moved and skidded out of my grasp, toppling over. I slumped down, sobbing. I was useless. I was going to die of starvation and be the first human being to physically die of humiliation. I hope somebody studies my body for that. I reached over and awkwardly pulled the chair up. I took several breaths and stretched up. I grabbed the edge of the table, carefully nudging the tray out of the way. I pressed my other hand on the chair and pushed. My arms shook terribly, showing how weak I actually was. I had training but that doesn't mean I'm strong enough to hold myself. It took me a moment to figure out how to do it but I got there. I shifted my legs so they were in a sitting position and turned to the tray.
It was cold soup and a glass of water. I took a mouthful of the water and swirled it around my mouth. I spat it out into the pile of vomit. I couldn't feel my trousers but I could see the dark stain from where I had pissed myself at one point. I was beyond caring by now. I lapped up the soup before pouring the water into the clean bowl. I grabbed a napkin and carefully dabbed away the crusted blood on my face. My nose was a throbbing mess, swollen and far to sensitive to touch. I cleaned up as best as I could with a mirror. I realised I then had to pee. I rolled off the chair and army crawled over to the toilet. I pushed myself up, slipped into the toilet and managed to turn myself round (it took a while cause I kept having to pause). Once I was sat down, I wriggled down my trousers and peed. I seemed to pee for the world, despite having already pissed myself. It burned to pee. I was dehydrated. Severely. I could reached the sink from where I was sitting. I had some feeling down in the vagina region which was a little comforting. You know, for if I ever get laid. I didn't have the energy or strength to drag myself over to the raised bed. I fell off the toilet and slept on the ground, preparing myself for another round of pain and humiliation.
