The Tale of Black Jaguar (Young Justice Fanfic)

Abused animal

After I reluctantly allowed the... what's his name again... Oh yes, batman to set my rib I was brought to a room with a few chairs and I was left alone with black canary.

I'll be honest, I was freaking out on the inside.

Sure I just look like I'm a little nervous, but really I'm panicking.

"This room is sound prof and has no cameras, so whatever we talk about in here will not be listened to." Black canary explained.

I curled up in the chair I was sitting in, holding my legs with my arms. no one will be able to hear, see, or prove anything after she beats me in here.

"I want you to tell me why you fear adults." Canary said. "I can only help you If I know why."

Instead of replying I looked away from her, don't make eye contact.

"What happened?" She pressed.

My heart began to palpitate, my breathing becoming ragged. I knew all too well how long it takes an adult to lose their temper, I've experienced it enough already. She'll hit me any second now, just like them.

...
One month after her parents death
...
I struggled against the rope restraining my ankles and wrists, but my resistance was futile. I couldn't escape.

There was a heavy sigh, and I looked up to see the one they called my 'master'.

"We've been kind the past few weeks, but you still try to escape. You still fight back. You still resist. Why?" He asked.

"I'll never fight for you. Your the reason my parents are dead." I whispered bitterly.

"You'll change your mind. We have different ways of... persuasion." He replied calmly.

"You can try." I challenged.

"Very well," he said and slapped me, "but you brought this upon yourself."

He stood me up and slammed me against the wall, then punches me in the stomach.

I feel to my knees with a whimper, and he kicked my ribcage. I collapsed to the floor.

He untied my hands and feet and chained me to the wall in a star position the chains hurt even more than the ropes.

"From now on I will be your master, and I expect you to call me by said title. Am I understood? A verbal answer, If you please."

"Yes" I said quietly.

"Yes what?"

"Yes... master."

"Good, and for your first lesson, you will learn respect," he said, "one way, or another."

He took a whip out of it's holder and cracked it on my shoulder, I felt a deep gash appear and blood gushed out of it as I clenched my teeth with a pained whimper.

He continued, whipping my arms, legs, and torso. Hot tears pour out and blood dripped, staining the floor, walls, and whip. I screamed with each lash, which was like fire on my skin. He relentlessly continued without an ounce of pity.

After what could of been minutes, or hours, he left the room. But before he closed the door his sinister voice filled the room, "don't disappoint me."

Darkness filled my world as he left me hanging, quite literally, for who knows how long.
...

I was snapped out of the memory when I heard a voice shout my name. I suddenly became aware of my surroundings and saw black canary standing a couple feet away from me.
