You

"Disgusting! I can feel your spit getting all over my palms."

Childe

"Mmh! Mmhmmf, mmhmfm!"

You

"I can't understand yooou!"

You giggled, teasing him.

Dottore

"Why do I even try at this point..."

"I should give everything up."

You

"Suicidal Dottore is something that I never expected to hear! Hah!"

Dottore

"Hm. Kill me now, N/N."

You

"Of course! What is your uh... Preferred method of death?"

You asked him, trying to sound as formal as you could in a time like this.

Dottore

"Anything... Just do anything."

Childe

"Mmfmmh!- Dottore! I got N/N to say something!"

You

"Liar! Dottore, he isn't telling the truth, I didn't open my mouth! At all!"

Dottore

"..."

Childe

"You can take the credit! Take all the credit!"

Dottore

"... What did they say about me?"

Childe

"Are you serious?! There's obviously no time for me to-"

*Whack!*

"-Tell you! How about you help me out here and I'll tell you later?!"

Dottore

"But how do you know I can trust yooou..."

Childe

"Dottore!"

Dottore

"Fine, fine."

"You said you'd tell me later."

He eventually stopped leaning against the doorframe and put himself to use, snatching your hair from behind and tossing you to the side as if you were as light as a piece of paper.

You

"Asshole!"

Dottore

"I don't wanna hear it."

"I'm happy now, you don't have to kill me anymore. Ah, just wait until the Tsaritsa hears about this..."

.

.

.

"Get ready for a fun torture session later, okay?"

He said with a bright smile.

You

"What?"

Dottore

"You heard what I said. This will be your alternative to the sedative since I don't want you asleep for a good few days."

He picked up the same metal rod that you tore apart from your jail cell, flinging it right towards your head.

-MEANWHILE-

Kazuha

"Missing them?"

Kazuha asked, approaching Scaramouche while he sat by the shore on the sand.

He's been like that the whole time you were gone, distancing himself from everyone as they prepared for their journey to find you.

Scaramouche

"..."

"Obviously."

Kazuha

"I know how it feels."

"But hey, at least they aren't gone forever."

Scaramouche

"You don't know that. They might be dead, and we would've put all this effort into finding them just to end up by their rotting body."

Kazuha

"... Hey, let's not think of the worst, okay?"

Scaramouche

"It's hard. I can't just tell myself that they're 100% alive."

"They're human, they don't work like I do."

Kazuha

"Sure, but N/N's tough. They won't die so easily, and you know that."

Scaramouche

"I know that."

Kazuha

"..."

"Well, I'm sure that N/N isn't dead. My gut tells me they're well and alive."

Scaramouche

"Well and alive?"

Kazuha

"Mhm. Well and alive."

Shinobu

"You guys ready to go?"

Kazuha

"Yes. Ready to go, Scaramouche?"

Scaramouche

"I'm ready."

You

"Hey... I gave you... What you wanted to hear. So why is it that you're shoving your foot down my throat every goddamn second?!"

Dottore

"Because it's amusing!"

"... And I'm not actually shoving my foot down your throat, so-"

You

"It was a figure of speech! God!"

Dottore

"I recommend you stop talking, just save your breath. Putting your jaw to work is just gonna make it all worse."

Your jaw, your entire face stung, after Dottore kicked at it countless times.

You

"I gave you what you wanted!"

Dottore

"Hm..."

.

.

.

"That's not enough. You'll have to give me more if you want me to stop."

You

"I'm not saying anything beyond that. That's all your getting."

"I'm not set free, then you don't get what you want."

"Pfft, but either way, if I was set free, you'd still be left with nothing else but your sad backstory."

Dottore

"Hmph."

He kicked at you one more time, the blood from your mouth splattering on the wall behind you.

You

"Pussy! Are you holding back?"

Dottore

"What, are you asking me to kick harder?!"

You

"Yeah! Kick harder!"

You shrieked.

Dottore, extremely pissed off, swung another kick.

Though, you ducked as low as you could, and his leg hit one of the cell bars.

Dottore

"Fuck!"

You

"Fucking loser!"

Dottore

"I really didn't think I'd have to resort to this, but you're being a huge pain in the ass right now..."

"You never learn your fucking lesson."

You

"Okay? Neither do you."

Dottore

"Go off yourself."

You

"You first."

y/n in their baddie era?! 😘😈😻

Dottore

"Oh, you wanna do it that way, huh?"

You

"..."

Dottore grabbed your face, his fingers clutching your jaw hard, and jabbed a syringe into your shoulder.

You

*Sigh* "This again?"

You asked, clearly disappointed in him.

Dottore

"Oh no, this one's different."

You

"?"

Dottore

"It's enhanced. Stronger than the others."

...

"Though, we haven't even had it tested yet... You're the first! Isn't that exciting?"

You

"... You haven't tested this yet?"

Dottore

"Mhm."

You

"I'm the first?"

Dottore

"Indeed. Feel anything yet?"

You

"What?"

Dottore

"I asked you... If you feel anything yet."

*Thump!*

.

.

.

Dottore

"... Well, it's not supposed to do that."

"This is amazing! I get to see what there is to improve."

He spoke while hovering over your twitching body on the ground, drool spilling out of the corner of your mouth.

You couldn't think, you couldn't move; you couldn't do anything at all. You were completely hopeless.

All you could do was lay there, and let Dottore do whatever he wanted.

Dottore

"Because the other drugs weren't working, I and some colleagues have been working on something new. Hah, though it isn't complete yet, I was just so eager to try it out."

You

"..."

Dottore

"... Are you finally done throwing your temper tantrum?"

You

"..."

Dottore

"Ah! Dottore, you asshole! Oh! Dottore fuck off! Oh my goodness! Dottore go kill yourself!"

He mocked.

Dottore

"Are you finally done with all your bullshit?"

You

"..."

Dottore

"Hm... You're supposed to be telling me things. Speak. Come on, I know you can do it."

You

"..."

Childe

*Sigh* "Now let me guess. You're going to resort to violence because they aren't saying anything that you want to hear."

Dottore

"Whaaat? I wouldn't do that. No way!"

"I'm gonna treat our hostage with love as I should."

Childe

"... You just used an unstable drug on them. None of us know what that can do. What if it kills them?"

Dottore

"Then my colleagues get the blame. It's their fault for bringing up the idea!"

Childe

"I don't... Think that's how it works."

Dottore

"Yes, it is. Come along now, Childe, let's see what else we can get out of N/N."

Childe

"I'm telling you, we're just gonna get a big load of nothing."

Dottore

"Well, I'd like to impress our Archon so why don't we just try?"

Childe

"Fine. But, no violence."

Dottore

"What?! Where's the fun in that?!"

Childe

"Listen, I know that the Tsaritsa tolerates your torture among prisoners, but it never works on N/N. It works on other prisoners, but N/N's a lot more stubborn. The next thing you know you'll do too much, and you'll take their life."

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I want N/N to live, pfft."

"But if their heart is no longer beating, everybody who's come in contact with N/N within these headquarters will receive drastic punishment."

Dottore

"... But they've been tolerating my torture recently, and they're perfectly fine."

Childe

"Dottore."

Dottore

"Childe."

Childe just stared right at him, waiting for Dottore to come to an understanding.

Dottore

"Fine. No torture it is."
