At The Speed Of A Heart Beat

Chapter II - The Turning Point

Warning - this chapter has a graphic scene - you have been warned

Diana had lost track of time - it could have been weeks, months, years since she had been there. The Doctor had intensified the 'trainings' and she escaped to her memories even more. She watched her 'brothers' and 'sisters' grow into trained soldiers with an empty look in their eyes - she was the only one who still resisted.
"Nein, I will succeed in breaking her, she will be valuable to our operation, Baron.", Diana heard Dr. Hummel 's voice talking on the end of the hallway waking her up.
"We have made progress with the twins, I don't know if we'll need her, doctor.", Said an unknown harsh voice in return.
"Plus, you wasted a lot of time in her and she still hasn't break.", Said another voice this time more mellow.
"I can do it! Trust me...", Said Dr. Hummel in a lower voice as if he was begging.
"You have one week...!", Said the most harsh voice in a command.
"I will start right away.", Answered the doctor moving away from the other two voices.

Diana quickly closed her eyes hoping he wouldn't come to her. A set of steps joined the doctor's and she started to think the worse. They stopped inches from the cell door and they whispered to each other. The frightened girl tried to understand what was being said but with no luck. Suddenly, the door opened and Diana heard someone walk in - she kept her eyes closed trying to calm her breathing so it seemed she was still asleep.

"Wake up, Petrov.", Said a voice close to her that Diana recognised as being Viktor.
When the girl didn't answer, the dark-haired man held her arm tightly and made her get up. She opened her eyes as soon as he touched her and looked at the man's expressionless face with fear.
"Father is getting impatient.", Viktor said as he made her stand up, her weak knees making him tighten his grip on her arms.
Diana didn't have time to say anything because the man had quickly started ripping off her clothes.
"What are you doing?!", Asked the frightened girl trying to cover her body.
"Shut up!", The man said through clenched teeth. He quickly pinned her to the wall with her hands retained under his grip.
"Stop, please...", Begged Diana starting to panic.
The man ignored her requests and started to unbutton his pants letting them fall to his knees. Diana closed her eyes and screamed when she felt the man inside her.
"I told you to shut up!", said Viktor covering her mouth as he picked up his speed.
Diana had never been with anyone before - she had had a boyfriend back in Sokovia but her heart had always belonged to another and they never got this far. She bit Viktor 's hand, as her legs were far too weak from his thrusts to move, in a last hope to make him leave. That only got her a strong slap in the face and quicker thrusts inside her. Diana closed her eyes as the man did everything he wanted with her body - she felt hope drain out of her, no one would come to save her nor did she had the strength to fight back anymore. Her screams started to quiet down as the man slowed down until he stopped. Viktor threw her weak body on the floor and left the cell. Diana was left there naked, bloody and tearful - she didn't have the strength to stand up nor did she want to. She curled up into a ball, trying to soothe her shaking body.

Diana was left there for the next day. No food, no water. Until, the doctor entered the room followed by the two guards. The girl didn't stand up and the doctor grinned.
"Mein liebling [my darling], it seems you are ready, ja [yes]?", Asked the doctor to which he received no answer. He nodded at the two men who dragged her to a white tilled room where two women stood with blue coats. "I want her ready in 5.", Ordered Dr. Hummel as Joshua and Viktor dropped Diana on the floor.

The two nurses nodded and took the girl to some sort of shower where they cleaned her up - her movements were harsh on Diana ' s sore body and the girl whimpered as the women worked. They cleaned her up and put her in new clothes. Diana was forced to walk to the laboratory too weak to fight back. Joshua and Viktor got her into her usual position and went back to stand behind the doctor.

"Now, mein perle [ my pearl ], are you ready to be a part of this family?", Asked the man close to her face.
"Yes, father.", she whispered looking down.
"Hervorragend [Excellent]!", said the grinning man walking back to get some tools to finish her training.
She cried during the training but she felt it make her stronger - she had had a family and now she found another one, one that would be with her forever and would make her stronger.

Diana stood on a white room in front of her was a bloody body - it was dead, its brown eyes were empty and its dark-blonde hair was lifeless.
"It was weak, it had to die.", Said a voice from behind her - at first it resembled Pietro's but, as she turned around to face it, it changed to the dark-haired guard and she was facing Viktor.
"Yes, you're with us now, we make you stronger.", Said someone beside Viktor - at first a feminine voice turning into a man's voice as she faced Joshua.
She looked around trying to find her mother - she was always there.
"She's gone, mein perle [my pearl], you only have us now...", Said a paternal voice from behind her. She turned to see the doctor's raven hair falling on hollow dark eyes.

She felt safe and warm - she felt like she was part of a family again.
