“Don’t,” Bridge said quietly, looking to the floor as soon as he said it.
((FYI Bridge has a very high pain tolerance))

(Noice)
Dave looked over at Bridge. "What did you say, kid? I have the authority here. Scorpion hates it, but he still has to submit." He pushed the taser further into Scipio's neck, but didn't shock him just yet.

“He didn’t…he didn’t do anything yet,” He responded softly.

"Oh, but there is the thrill of seeing fear in a murderer's eyes." Dave grinned and released the shock, rendering Scipio unconscious. "We've got a couple questions for you, kid." He said to Bridge.

“I don’t…” Bridge said in a small voice, remembering Scipio’s warnings. “What kind?”

"That's none of your business right now. Come on before you end up like Scorpion." He jerked his head towards Scipio laying unconscious on the floor and grabbed Bridge's arm, dragging him out of the cell.

Bridge stood quickly and had no choice but to walk after him, casting one look back at Scipio before walking away.

Dave had two other guards go in and bind Scipio's hands and feet and gag him just in case he woke up before they returned. He took Bridge to the same room as before and sat him down. "So what the hell is going on between you and Scorpion? I've never seen him not try to rip me apart as soon as I walk in there."

Bridge blinked, surprised by the question. “He…he doesn’t hate me. I…I don’t hurt him.”

"Well, that's pretty obvious, but what's going on? He's had roommates before. He never let them touch him, much less cuddle up with him." Dave tapped his fingers on the table impatiently.

“I…I don’t know.” Bridge answered truthfully. “I’ve…I’ve never tried to hurt him. Or fight with him. At all. Other…other than that…I don’t know.”

Dave sighed. "He's dangerous. Surely you know that. He's never tried to protect anyone from us before, much as he hates us, and we have to figure out why he's chosen you. He likely thinks of you as property at this point. He's claimed you, and now he'll try to attack seven different guards at the same time just to try and stop us from taking you to this little room."

“Well…I know he’s dangerous.” Bridge nodded a little. “But I…I really don’t know.”

"Well, we're gonna have to figure it out somehow. C'mon." Dave led Bridge back to the cell, where Scipio was struggling against his bonds.

Bridge winced at the sight of it, following Dave. “Let him…him go. Please. I…I can make him calm down a little.”

"He can get himself out. He's done it before." Dave locked the cell and walked away. Scipio trembled violently, the electricity still affecting him strongly and painfully.

Bridge ran over to him as soon as Dave had left, sitting down. “Can…can you get out? I…I don’t think I can untie these…”

Scipio mumbled something through his gag and started trying to free himself. He eventually managed to get his hands loose, although they were bleeding rather badly from rope burns, and then untied his feet shakily.

Bridge did help him with his gag, through, and then quickly put a hand to his hair gently to calm him. “Are…are you okay?”

Scipio was still shaking and drew his knees up to his chest, hiding his face in them. There was a noticeable sort of burn mark on his neck where he'd been tased and blood dripped onto the floor from his hands. He didn't respond to Bridge just yet.

“Oh no,” Bridge murmured softly, putting another hand up to cup his neck where the burn was.

Scipio flinched and shied away a bit, everything hurting. He'd been tased before, of course, but it hurt so much more on his neck.

“Sorry,” Bridge whispered, running a hand through Scipio’s hair - its softness almost calmed him down as well.

Scipio seemed to be breathing heavily, keeping his face hidden. I'm going to get Dave for this… he's got no right… I'm not even an adult yet. He closed his hands in a weak attempt to slow the bleeding.

“You’re…you’re okay,” Bridge said in a whisper. “You’re okay.”
