Jonathan smiled under his mask as he pressed the knife against the woman's throat. The woman screamed, jerking against her bonds and Jonathan pulled back, licking the faint blood trace that had dripped onto the knife from a different wound.

He hadn't even cut the woman, using instead the dull back end of the knife. Her terror had insisted to her mind she had been cut the second she felt the cold blade.

He trailed the tip of the now wet knife across her throat and down her chest, watching as the woman's breathing increased as he slid the knife down, between her breasts, watching the terror, the horror as her mind filled in the blanks of what was to come.

He leaned close, his breath wet against her ear. "Scream a little louder for me, pretty," he whispered, his free hand sliding up her body to meet the knife, laughing as she screamed at his touch.

He pulled away from her, setting the knife aside, studying the panting, shaking woman. So close to broken and the only wound she had was on her head when he accidently hit her against the door carrying her inside.

Fear was a beautiful emotion.

A few days after arriving, Selina still had plenty to learn about Colligo's layout. She had a general sense thus far of the areas around the library and "non-local" apartments, less so the shadier areas that people tended to avoid. She wanted to see why and if there was anything she could get out of it.

This wasn't Gotham; she had no personal ties to anything, no potential cause to follow like she had in the East End. And before she'd been abducted here, she'd been told by that damn witch Zatanna that a "villain into hero" spell had been done on her. She had too many doubts about herself after hearing that-- and after killing the Black Mask. So, she was falling back on her instinct-- time to start casing places and decide what to steal first, see about finding a fence to move things when she had them.

She was walking through the warehouse district with a trench coat covering her less than typical attire. She wasn't sure if it had promise, and before she could find out if it did, she heard terrified screaming. A woman, clearly afraid for her life.

And damn, there went her other instincts saying whatever was happening to that woman was wrong and she'd better do something about it. She followed the screams, running as she got closer.

"Now pretty, I don't think you'll be needing this," Jonathan said, sliding his sickle up under her shirt, watching as her stomach contracted to move away from the blade as it sliced open her shirt.

Jonathan viewed the woman with the same clinical detachment he did his patients, ignoring the flesh on display in preference for finding the perfect set of ribs to put a slice between, reading the blade he wanted, a small, fine bladed tool he had found in a local shop.

He heard running steps and turned, hand already grabbing his scythe.

	With screams like that, Selina had to put stealth aside and just get her tail there now. She pulled her whip free from her waist and as she went to the door that the screams were echoing through. Her hand went to the door handle, checking the lock. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	As the footsteps approached the unlocked door behind him, Jonathan smirked and threw a sickle, watching it embed itself in the door before he readied the scythe, waiting. The woman screamed again and Jonathan kicked her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Whoever it was hadn't bothered to lock the door. Stupid? Overconfident? Really hard to say. She jumped back when something impacted the door, then she reached out again to fling open the door while keeping herself behind the wall. She might not be any kind of hero, but she couldn't just walk away when she heard a woman screaming like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You have got to be kidding me," Jonathan said, raising his scythe slightly, staring at her. "Seriously? You're the one ruining my night? As if you didn't do that enough during the day," Jonathan rolled his eyes, turning back to his victim, frowning as the woman started to calm now that Selina was there. "You're ruining the data," he muttered. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She held up her whip and glared when she saw it was Crane. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"What the hell does it look like, Selina? I'm torturing this woman until her heart gives out," he didn't mention he was also recording the sounds of her screams for later...research.

"Now if you don't mind, I have an experiment to conduct," he selected the knife again, kneeling between the woman's legs to slowly cut open her flesh between the ribs he had selected earlier.

	Jonathan cursed as he whip bit into his hand, forcing him to drop the knife. He turned, glaring at her, sucking on the wound. "What the fuck was that for?!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"For you trying to torture a woman to death!" She walked closer to him, furious. "Let her down." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Did you miss the part where I'm the Master of Fear, Kitty?" Jonathan growled, pissed. "Torture produces fear, fear is what I DO." He scooped up his second sickle, lashing out with it, almost slitting the woman's throat before pausing, looking at Selina.

Turning suddenly, he flipped the sickle, holding it by the blade. "What, exactly will you give me if I let her go?"

	She hissed and drew her whip back, eyes darting as she hesitated over whether striking him or trying to get the woman down would be more effective at saving her life. "You get to walk out scar-free. You get to live." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That's not incentive," Jonathan said dryly. "How do you know I don't do this as an elaborate suicide? No, I want something better. You." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She felt a cold sweat break out as the memories hit her. Black Mask, trading places with Maggie, her poor sister already past help, just managing to escape and thinking she'd sent that monster to his death but he somehow came back...

"I'm not for sale. If you're trying to get killed, guess you'll get some help with that. Let her go, and I don't call the cops to really ruin your fun."

"Call them," he called, smirking. "I'm sure they'd love to know why you're running around in skintight lycra," he said, moving closer to her, away from his victim.

He circled her, studyng her. "No, I will only give her up if you give me you. A willing experiment, something it's been ages since I've had." He stood behind her, mask against her ear, hand holding the arm that held her whip.

"Let me in," he whispered.

"Leather. And isn't it obvious? They'll think I'm a dominatrix, no more explanation needed."

She bristled as he approached her and made herself hold still for the sake of letting him put himself in a worse position. Really, didn't anybody teach him not to approach an angry cat? Closer to her was further from his victim, and he was really going to get it when he got near enough.

When he put his hand on her arm, she lifted a leg and drove her foot back, straight for his testicles.

"A dominatrix...and a guy with a scarecrow costume...they'll arrest you as well, thinking we're drunk or high," he said. When she kicked back, he moved with the kick, grunting at the impact before laughing.

"Honestly, I ride a horse and experiment on mental patients. I'm not stupid enough to run around unprotected, Selina." he said, releasing her.

"Now, why the hell are you attacking me when I'm offering you an even deal, her life for your friendship. I just want a chance, Selina. No toxin, no mind games...just a single chance,"

"Assuming they can actually catch me-- and it's really simple to test and find out I'm clean. You, on the other hand, whatever the hell's in your system..."

Laughter? Definitely not the response she usually got when she kicked someone in the balls. And usually there was a certain satisfying feel to it, too, but his had no give. She grimaced and turned around as he took his hand away.

"You're crazy, but you have more brains than most guys running around Gotham." It was a very grudgingly-given almost-compliment. "Wait, you what? That's what you meant? You want a chance?"

She was certain she couldn't give him any sincere chance, but she could agree to it enough so nobody had to die.

"There's nothing in my system," Jonathan muttered, lying through his teeth. He had tested the LSD before creating his latest batch of toxin, making sure the hallucinations were realistic enough.

"Of course that's what I meant, what were you thinking?" he asked, looking confused.

The woman started screaming again and Jonathan threw a rag at her to shut her up, smirking as she whimpered.

"Oh, so you just get it in your head to abduct and torture women to death without the convenient excuse of chemical influence. How great to know. Leave her alone."

She went over to the woman herself, tired of seeing the fear and pain and waiting on Crane to stop it. She reached for the bindings.

"Stop screaming; he wants you screaming. And considering what you're doing to her, what was I supposed to think?"

	"I'm insane, why would I need chemical influences?" He asked, rolling his eyes before removing his hat and pulling off his mask, wiping his sweaty face. Damn burlap. "I was torturing her, I already promised not to torture you, so what was going through your mind?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"One of the poster children of the revolving door that is Arkham Asylum."

The reminders of the past were nothing he needed to know about. He knew-- would know in his future-- too much about her already. "That I have no reason to trust you." That, at least, was perfectly true. She used her claws to slice through the twine binding the woman in place. She supposed handcuffs just wouldn't go with the whole Scarecrow theme. "Run-- and find a good therapist," she said to the woman. "You'll need it."

	"I can recommend one for you!" Jonathan called after the fleeing woman, cackling. "So, Selina, friends or do I have to go find a new experiment for the night?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	felinefatale 2012-06-28 04:42 am UTC (link)
	No doubt if he wasn't recommending himself, it'd be Harley. She gave him a flash of her claws and another glare. "As if I'd just send you off to torture someone else. What exactly is your definition of 'friends'?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
