Crystalline Constellations

S1 E6: My Fair Lady [Part 1/2]

That next night which followed had been a cocktail of negative emotions for the trio. Blood and small fragments of skin samples were taken and then it started gradually getting worse for them; whenever they didn't have wires and things of that nature poking out of them, things were administered through syringes, containing fluids that either made them dizzy or caused them to vomit, at which points Keates himself would dodge out of the way to avoid having any of it on his shoes.

Once they'd been sent back to their cell, Italy started crying and Germany had balled his fists so tightly that his knuckles were turning white and there was the sound of them cracking, as if he was preparing for a punch-up.
While they were sat on the floor together, shivering from the cold and having their energy drained from throwing up earlier with whatever was injected into them, Jenny was tired in the same way but for the next couple of minutes, she tried to use the force of her powers to escape the gloves put there to prevent her from using them, going all-out with the ice's intensity to freeze the gloves solid and then smash them to pieces, sometimes running out of breath and having a stinging headache from the vast amount of effort she put into it. Eventually, all she managed to do, giving her the most painful headache so far when putting her abilities to use, was, with a loud howl of extreme pent up anger, get some frost to form on small portions of the outsides of the gloves before Ludwig told her to stop, as she would be wasting her energy and causing more headaches for herself, so she walked back over to them and sank down to the floor in supreme exhaustion as all 3 of them hugged together for comfort.
The only thing stopping a tear from rolling down the girl's cheek was the fatigue coursing itself through every single one of her veins.

The next day that followed was just as agonizing as the previous one, if not perhaps more so because now the creeps who they were at the mercy at had an entire day to do whatever they wanted to them, and the scariest part about it all was that the subjects never knew what procedure might be carried out on them next or when their life forces would give out from it all. The type of cruelty which would befall them after the current one was completely unknown, and it almost terrified them.

"Just think about it, my dear. When this world is powered by your biological code, I get the chance to mention how you and these efforts made it happen, and, in addition, say how the other 2 added many a millennia onto mankind's lifespan. Surely that's one of the greatest privileges one can hope to gain?" The leader himself stood at the side of the metal table which she was strapped down to (while the other doctors prepared the next experiment), the leather cutting into her wrists and ankles and producing marks where it chaffed her skin. 

She said absolutely nothing in reply and kept her facial expression neutral, not giving him a reaction at all for anything so that he didn't know the best way to emotionally hurt her.

"What, nothing? That's a bit rude..." The 32-year-old opined as he leaned down further towards her face, the smirk on his lips wilting somewhat into a neutral but perhaps annoyed expression.

Meanwhile, only a few feet away, the tallest out of our 3 protagonists was, while making sure none of the scientists detected it as they ran tests and read results, gradually and sneakily struggling against his restraints in an effort to break out of them. Both of the other 2 had noticed this, but didn't stare for too long or make any reaction so that they didn't give it away.

"Trying to snatch the gem from me yesterday and now being unresponsive, I'm starting to think that you were taught no manners when you were a kid." The doctor hissed tauntingly, only about 5 inches from her face so that meant she could unwillingly feel his breath on her cheek. "I mean respect is a common principle in all countries."

She knew that right now, for all the things he'd done since last night, he deserved no respect from her, so, taking this opportunity because of how close he was, she did one of the things that young children were best at and she spat right up onto his face.
