Re: Chapter Two: Experimentation

William's eyes remained focused on a point beyond Dr. Horrible. They wouldn't get him. He was dug in deep now. Opening his mouth, he repeated in the same tone he had previously, "Yes."

Re: Chapter Two: Experimentation

   Dr. Horrible straightened up, murmering, "Fine." he pulled the dial from his pocket and set it on the desk infront of William. He turned it onto the highest setting.

   Susan snapped her head back to scream, the sound a wreched and tortured echo off the walls. She began to convulse, and her eyes rolled. Her chair almost fell over during her shaking, and she continued to wail.

   The Dr. kept his eyes on William, though he stood back from where the dial sat on the table top. He knew he would be able to watch the video of S. Black's pain, even though the thrill of the moment wouldn't be there as he watched the recording. It was a sacrafice he was willing to make.

Re: Chapter Two: Experimentation

William didn't move for several moments. Inside, he was laughing. He knew no human could survive for very long with that much electricity running through their heart and organs. If they left it on for very much longer, then she would die from complications. William was jealous. Here he was, giving her what she had refused to give him; an escape.

He knew she would be mad, especially if she survived. These people had ways of bringing you back. But it was the only escape William knew and the only kindness he had come to hope for.

Her screams were terrible. After what William decided was an appropriate amount of time, he lifted his cuffed hands to the dial in front of him and picked it up, holding it very tightly in one hand. He slowly raised his eyes to Dr. Horrible's face, and saw the arrogant exultation there. William made eye contact, lifted the corners of his mouth in a small smile, and twisted the dial with all the force he could muster with bound hands, trying to break it. He twisted and squeezed the little box, watching the Doctor's smug expression shift into shock and outrage. All the while he smiled his calm, dead smile, and hoped that if she died from this, they would kill him too.

Re: Chapter Two: Experimentation

William's chair fell over backwards, the dial snapping off the remote box as one of the Bouncers in Susan's room leapt for the cord leading to the wall and yanked it from it's power source.

Re: Chapter Two: Experimentation

   Susan's screams died, and as the world around her began to darken, she moaned and twitched. With a final moan, she lost consciousness.

   The Bouncer moved over to Susan and raised her head with one hand, his other checking for a pulse. After a few moments, he looked toward the mirror and nodded, indicating that she was still alive.

Re: Chapter Two: Experimentation

William stayed where he had fallen, feeling the sting in his jaw subside as the Doctor looked through the mirror, nursing his bony hand. He turned back with cold fury radiating from him. William had reverted again to his blank face, and didn't react.
"She's alive. Lucky for you, she's alive," Dr. Horrible said angrily, still rubbing his hand. It would probably bruise more than William's face would.
William couldn't stop his eyes from closing as he felt a surge of failure. He opened them again, managing to make it a slow blink.

Re: Chapter Two: Experimentation

   From where he was on the floor, William could see as the Bouncer unhooked Susan from the electrodes. He lifted her out of the chair, and quickly carried her limp body out of the room. Then the light went out.

Re: Chapter Two: Experimentation

William could see that Dr. Horrible was itching to say something, but the gaunt doctor merely sniffed and stalked past, snapping a curt order to the Bouncers at the door. They picked up William, who remained limp, and dragged him down the hallway, his bare heels bouncing on the uneven linoleum.
They dumped him on the floor of his cell, not bothering to remove his restraints or put him on the bed. The door closed and locked, and William waited til the echoes of their heavy footsteps had faded before sighing and closing his eyes.
He didn't care anymore. He really didn't. He was going to stop eating again, nevermind what they could do to keep him alive. It didn't matter. He wasn't going to move unless they moved him. If this was what they were going to start doing to him, then he was going to fight back until he won. Until the day he died.

Re: Chapter Two: Experimentation

   As Susan slowly opened her eyes, they felt sandy. She was wearing a mask, and it was helping her breathe. She was hooked up to needles and monitors, and was completely exhausted. Twitching her fingers and toes was about all she could do without pain. She half closed her eyes, and a shadow fell over her. Still groggy, it took her a moment to recognize the glint off of Dr. Horrible's glasses.

   "That was close. Wasn't it, S. Black?" he smirked. She glared at him weakly, and at this he smiled, "I believe that I should tell you, that subject W. Blake had control over the dial that distributed the pain that you felt. He almost killed you, but we saved you." and then he was gone.

   Susan lay on the bed, stunned. Could she believe him? What if it was true? Her anger rose as similar thoughts bounced through her mind for the next couple hours.

Re: Chapter Two: Experimentation

Later that day, a pair of orderlies wheeled a small television into her room and set it up at the foot of her bed. When they switched it on it was just static, but then it gradually cleared to reveal a grainy picture that was mostly white. It took her a moment to see that it was a feed to William's room. She could see him, lying on the floor.
Hours passed and nothing changed. If it weren't for the ticking time clock in the bottom right corner, she would have thought it was just a picture.
Then something happened. A tray of food was pushed through the slot, but still William didn't move. A few minutes later an orderly came to her with a meal.

Re: Chapter Two: Experimentation

   Susan glanced from her tray of food, which the orderly was preparing, to the television screen. William made no move to touch the food. As the dark skinned woman held up a spoonful of green soup, she kept her lips together in refusal. She wasn't sure why he wasn't eating, but felt that possibly, it was because of her. The orderly prompted the spoon toward her mouth and Susan rasped, "I'm not hungry."

   With a disaproving look, the orderly set the spoon down, and left the room. Susan turned her attention back to the t.v. with a worried expression.

Re: Chapter Two: Experimentation

About a half an hour passed with absolutely no movement from William before the door in his room opened again, and two Bouncers entered. They picked up the prone man and roughly stuffed him into the chair, untying his hands. They stayed limp in his lap and his head hung down. Then Dr. Horrible entered, rubbing his hands together as he looked down at the untouched tray of food.
"Lost your appetite, W. Blake?" his voice came through tinny and crackly.

Re: Chapter Two: Experimentation

   Susan watched William intently, for any sign of life. Her food was cold, and an orderly came in, picked up the tray, and left again, locking the door behind her. Paying her no mind, Susan watched, chewing on her bottom lip.

Re: Chapter Two: Experimentation

William didn't move or respond to the doctor as he chuckled and walked in a circle around the chair. "W. Blake, we have a few more questions for you. When you had control of S. Black's pain, did you glean any enjoyment from the process?"
William didn't answer and Dr. Horrible looked sharply at him. "W. Blake, answer the question." But still, William didn't respond.

Re: Chapter Two: Experimentation

   Leaning forward slightly, Susan stared at the screen intently. She couldn't see William's face, but she could see the fuzzy image of Dr. Horrible's. He didn't look happy. Susan leaned back as she waited for William to do something. She chewed on her bottom lip as her stomach rumbled. Had William been broken beyond the point of repair? She began to feel worry. What if he had?

Re: Chapter Two: Experimentation

Dr. Horrible gestured to a Bouncer, who reached forward and lightly rapped William's shoulder with a thin, telescopic rod that could hardly be seen on the screen. She heard William gasp as it shocked him, and he looked up and around, as if only just becoming aware of his surroundings. His head quickly fell again.
"W. Blake, did you recieve any enjoyment from subject S. Black's pain?" Dr. Horrible repeated.
"Yes." William's raspy whisper was hardly audible. Dr. Horrible sneered in triumph, glancing up at the camera in the corner.
"Was it your intention to eventually terminate S. Black?"
"Yes." William coughed after answering this question, the sound rough and raw. His head raised a little and his hands moved in his lap.
Dr. Horrible wasn't paying attention.
"So you're telling me you were going to make S. Black suffer as much as you could before you killed her?"
William didn't answer. He appeared to be slightly squirming in his chair. Dr. Horrible looked at him, then motioned again to the Bouncer, who shocked the boy with his rod. Crying out, William slithered out of his chair to convulse on the floor.
Dr. Horrible watched for a moment, before squatting slowly at putting a hand on William's arm. "Interesting. He appears to be experiencing muscle cramps. Orderly! Fetch a relaxant."
The gaunt doctor stayed squatted and simply watched William suffer. At one point he reached out and took the boy's pulse. "Elevated heart rate." he murmured. He gestured to a Bouncer to kneel on William's other side. "Get his mouth open." The Bouncer took a big handful of William's thick hair, and the other gripped his jaw, forcing it open. William groaned piteously, his spasming hands clawing ineffectually at the Bouncer's arms. Dr. Horrible stuck his long fingers inside William's mouth, prodding around as the boy gagged. "Dry mouth." The doctor continued to poke and pinch around William's face, checking for sweat and skin elasticity.
"This subject is severly dehydrated," the doctor snapped at the male orderly who came in with the relaxant. "I haven't recieved a report that he was starving himself again. What experiments have been performed on him lately?"
The orderly stepped out and came back with a clipboard that had been hanging on the outside of his door.
"He was part of the control group in the drinkability of salt water tests yesterday, but attempted escape before completion." The orderly read off without emotion.
"You fools!" Dr. Horrible exploded, jumping to his feet. "You forgot to administer the freshwater injections to counteract the salt water! Didn't even pump his stomach. W. Blake is dying."
The orderly left again and a slight buzzing sound was heard over the televisions crackly speakers. He was calling for aid.
Dr. Horrible snatched up the slightly soggy paper cup on the tray of food and leaned over William, pressing it to his mouth. The boy coughed and gagged, seeming to be brought around by the liquid.
"No!" he shouted, pushing it away. "No! I hate you! Get away from me, monsters! No!" he screamed. Or tried to scream; he didn't acheive much volume and his voice sounded as thin and crackly as the sound from the speakers.
"He's delirious," Dr. Horrible said matter-of-factly, wiping water from the front of his white coat.
A moment later a response team streamed into the small cell and whisked William away. They seemed to have totally forgotten about Susan and the fact that she was watching all of this unfold. Another doctor stayed behind to chat with Dr. Horrible in the doorway of William's room.
"Do you think he'll live?" he asked.
"It's hard to say at this point," Dr. Horrible answered. "We'll have to act fast if we're to restore proper blood pressure before he goes into a coma and dies from organ failure."
The other doctor nodded sagely. "I'll review the tapes and see when symptoms started to manifest. That'll give us an idea of how long he has."
"Yes, the... the tapes! Quickly, someone get to S. Black's room..." his voice faded as they ran down the hall.

Re: Chapter Two: Experimentation

   Susan had watched, her mouth agape. She snapped back to herself when the video showed an empty room, and jerked her head toward the door. Already she could hear the approaching footsteps. She began to untangle herself from the wires and i.v.'s, knowing that if she just sat there, she would go crazy. She had to get to William! He was all she had, the only person she new. He was NOT going to get away from her so easily! She was standing up when an orderly and a bouncer came into the room.

   "Let me see William!" she shouted, standing on her feet shakily. The orderly went straight to the television and began to roll it out of the room. The bouncer walked over to her, arm extended to push her back onto the bed. Susan lashed out, twisting his wrist and breaking it. She had done it many times, especially when the victims of her cons tried to catch her

   The bouncer didn't make a sound, but his eyes did flare. Susan treid to use his broken wrist to force him down to his knees, but her hopes were short lived. His other hand reached out and grasped her around the knee as he went down. He tightened his grip, causing Susan to collapse, "Let me see William!" she shouted after the orderly, who didn't look back as she wheeled the t.v. from the room.

"Did it work?"
"She's frantic. Demanding to see the boy."
"Fantastic!"
"When the boys condition stabalizes we'll move him into her room. Space constraints. She'll understand."
"They'll be suspicious..."
"But won't be able to resist each other. Especially the girl."
"She is really something."

Re: Chapter Two: Experimentation

   A shot of strong relaxant and a bruised jaw later, Susan was strapped back to her bed. Staring at the ceiling, she fumed silently, her face a relaxed mask of peace, thanks to the shot. She couldn't move at all. This was the shot she hated the most.

   William couldn't die. If he left her here alone, she would kill him. She laid there for what felt like hours, struggling to move her fingers and toes. But, this gave her a lot of time to think, to formulate another plan of escape. But William... Agh! She hated him so much. He was always in her way, but was the only way. She wished she could at least scowl. Just sitting without an expression of anger on her face didn't feel right.

Re: Chapter Two: Experimentation

While she was still paralyzed by the drug, they wheeled another bed into her room. Orderlies with beeping machines and IV drips trailed behind and set everything up with efficent speed.
"Can't believe we're having to pair up patients," One with a deep voice muttered as he pushed at buttons.
"Ya know. There's not enough room. Wonder if they're going to add that new wing soon. New toys would be nice."
The other orderlies made noises of agreement as they filed out. She couldn't turn her head to see who was in the bed beside her, but it wasn't hard to guess.
