Starboy - Lo'ak Sully

025

TW: Torture

Cheeseburgers. That was the thing Aria was focused on as Quaritch and his goons continue sending shocks of electricity through her body.

The spectacular device came in a two in one package deal. Not only did it send pain throughout each vain in the teens' body, but it also could read any thought her chaotic mind thought of.

Slowly, they had increased the voltage and Aria was struggling to think of things other than the Sully's whereabouts.

"Does this girl think of anything but food?" Quaritch says to a scientist next to him, watching the girl groan in pain.

"I'm not- not gonna tell you where they are so just stop!" Aria shouts before screaming in pain as they increase the voltage slightly.

Quaritch smirks watching the girl in pain. "Just tell us where they are and this'll all be over. No more pain, Miss Russo."

Aria lets out a weak scoff, panting. She had truly never felt this much pain and was in awe of how she was handling it.

"Like I said. You're going to have to kill me, smurfy." Aria weakly says to the man. He turns over to the scientist next to him and nods.

"But, sir, if we do go any higher, it will surely kill her. If not, she'd be put into a coma." The scientist informs.

"Good. Continue." Quaritch says as Aria shouts at the pain. It was like a million needles all jabbing into her body at the same time. Aria could not even think right let alone think about the information her kidnappers wanted to obtain.

"No! No more, please!" Aria sobs before letting out more tears.

Crying out in pain, Aria's breath became shallow, black spots covering her vision.

This is the end.

The last thing that crosses Aria's mind was Lo'ak. Before she passes, she realizes how he was the one to always be there for her. The one to make her laugh and smile. The one to pick her up when she was down. The one to always support and defend her, no matter what argument they had. He was there, for her.

Soon enough, Aria had blacked out, not knowing that those treasured final thoughts would be the doom of her and so many others.

Spider had been stuck in the cell for far too long of his liking. Apparently there was someone on the ship his father had kidnapped, who was vitally important. Spider could only pray that it wasn't who he thought it was.

Groaning, he wakes up from the ground in the cell before banging on and waving at the glass, desperately trying to get someone's attention.

Soon enough someone opened up the cell and shouts and screams began filling Spider's ears.

"What's going on?" The boy with dreads questions the scientist who in turn shrugs.

"No! No more, please!" Spider hears, familiarity shocking his body.

Rolling his eyes at the scientist, Spider walks closer and closer to the screams when he suddenly stops at the sight before him.

"What are you doing?" He nervously asks his father and many other scientists.

"Spider, you shouldn't be here." Quaritch says quickly before turning to the people around him and saying, "Get him out of here."

Two scientists attempt dragging him out, but he pushes them off and rushes towards the scene.

"Let her go! Stop! You're gonna kill her!" Spider shouts, clawing at his father's arm. "She didn't do anything! Leave her alone!"

Looking down at his son, Quaritch waves his hand, commanding the scientist to turn off the voltage.

Spider turns to his unconscious, former 'friend' and watches as her breath slows and she sort of relaxes. Sweat was beaded all over her as her head droops over her body.

"What did you do to her?" Spider questions as two soldiers grab Aria and lead her into the same cell as before. He follows them into the room.

"Just got some information out of her, that's all. Now you might just wanna pray that your old pal here survives." Quaritch says as the men shut the door, locking both Aria and Spider in. They leave and Spider falls to his knees, checking the girls' pulse. It was there, but weak.

Letting out a sigh of relief, Spider crawls to the corner of the room and brings his knees towards his chest.

He watches the unconscious girl intently, hoping she would survive.
