Misery does not want company
Lian woke up in a strange place, not sure how she got there. Her mind was clouded, and her vision blurry. She went to move...but found that she couldn't.

As she slowly came to her senses, she realized that she was chained to the bed.

She then remembered everything. Damien showing up at her apartment, battered and bloodied. Him dying on her couch, then coming back hours later, as if nothing had ever happened. Cerdian showing up. Them arguing, followed by her kicking both him and Damien out. Ra's al Ghul showing up and threatening her, and hauling her off to God Only Knows Where.

Lian got angry, struggling to release herself, which no success.

"Let me go, you son of a bitch!" She screamed, knowing that he just had to be nearby somewhere.

	Like clockwork, the door to her cell opens and Ra's al Ghul walks in, wearing a jet black custom-made suit and black shoes. He exhales a long-suffering sigh and looks down on Lian. "You will control your temper and your tone or I will have you sedated." Ra's says, taking a seat in the chair across from her bed. "Are you hungry?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"You keep using that phrase. I don't believe you quite understand what you're talking about. Would you care for me to send you there? Then I can immerse you in a Lazarus Pit and you can tell me what you thought of the place." Ra's says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You can stop struggling. You'll just rub yourself raw." Ra's al Ghul says. "Now, you and I need to come to an understanding. You will do nothing that endangers the children and I will let you free." Ra's says. "Do we have an accord?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm going to get out of here," she said, narrowing her eyes at him. "I'm going to get out of here, and I swear to God, when I do, I'll kill you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"In your current condition, all you're going to do is endanger your children and get yourself killed. Make the smart choice, Lian.

Work with me, rather than against me." Ra's says, rising from his chair.

"Dinner will be brought to you shortly. I advise that you eat, because I will have you force-fed if you try anything so pedestrian as a hunger strike." he says, turning to go.

	Sometime Later... dc_baddie 2011-03-30 12:13 am UTC (link)
	After a dinner of steak and potatoes with carrots and asparagus, Ra's returns to Lian's cell to check and see if she's eaten. He hopes she has. He's even brought a book this time. "Good evening, Lian. How was dinner?" Ra's asks. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Re: Sometime Later... rightontarget 2011-03-30 12:23 am UTC (link)
	As much as didn't want to, Lian had been starving. And they had unchained her from the bed...morons. "The steak was dry," she said bitterly. She may or may not be holding the knife under her pillow. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Oh, I'm sorry that you didn't enjoy it. I'll make sure that the cooks prepare it better next time." Ra's says, genuinely offended on her behalf.

However, he is not so offended as to be unaware.

Any moment now, she will attempt something. I do not know what, but I can assume that runs the risk of egregious bodily harm to me, which would make her happy.

"Paris is wonderful this time of year. What is your favorite city in the world, Lian?" he asks.

	The steak was actually good...but she wasn't going to tell him that she enjoyed it anytime soon. "Are you seriously going to sit here and make small-talk with me after telling me that you're planning on killing me once I give birth?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Sometime Later... dc_baddie 2011-03-30 12:55 am UTC (link)
	"What if the small-talk is making me consider re-evaluating your final fate? A conversation costs you nothing, Lian. And I'm curious to understand exactly what my grandson saw in you that led him to choose you over....well, any other woman in the world." Ra's says, relaxing in the chair.

	"Such hostility. And language, please? We have developing minds in the room with us." Ra's says, indicating her stomach. "Is this a by-product of American upbringing? I certainly do not want my grandchildren raised in /that/ country." Ra's says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"As I said, some men probably find all of this feistiness you exhibit attractive, but not me.

	"Who says I was always on my back?" Lian said, an attempt to temporarily shock him into silence. And even if that doesn't work, she'll go for the knife under her pillow in the blink of an eye, throwing it at his left temple before making a break for the door. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

And here...she...goes... Ra's thinks, as he chuckles at the comment about her not always being on her back. Did she think he would find that shocking?

He narrowly avoids the knife to the temple, though it does graze him. He doesn't feel it.

Ra's is on his feet in the next moment, grabbing Lian and holding her before she can run away.

"Come now, Miss Harper! Do you know what /torture/ really is?" he asks, holding her in an iron grip.

	Lian stuggled, though she knew that it was no use. "You can try to break me," she said, "But you won't. Do your worst." She spat in his face again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Sometime Later... dc_baddie 2011-03-30 02:07 am UTC (link)
	Ra's dodges the spit this time, and shoves her back onto the bed. "No one is going to find you, Lian. You and I are going to get to know each other very well over the next few months." Ra's says, wrapping the shackle around her ankle. "When this is over, I'll send you back to your father...one week at a time." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You don't scare me," Lian said, attempting to kick him in the face. Though in truth? Lian had never been so terrified in her entire life. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Then you are, in fact, more of an idiot than I originally believed." Ra's says, as he kicks him. The strike angers him, but manages not to slap the taste out of her mouth this time.

"Since you can't seem to keep a civil tongue in your head, I'm going to have to keep you from using it." Ra's says, snapping his fingers.

Two men enter the room and he speaks to them in Arabic. Both leave and return minutes later.

One is holding a syringe with a dark blue liquid. The other has a face mask.

"Sedate, then chain and muzzle her." Ra's says, watching impassively.

	Lian attempted to struggle, but it was no use. One of the men managed to stick the syringe in her arm, and within seconds, she had passed out. A few hours later, she woke up, finding herself chained to the bed again, and this time with a muzzle over her mouth. She attempted to speak, but the sounds were muffled as she turned her head to stare coldly at Ra's. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Ra's al Ghul /smiles/ at Lian as she tries to speak and realizes that she can't. His eyes close in bliss as he revels in not having to listen to her foul mouth.

"I think I like you much better now, Miss Harper." Ra's intones, reaching for the book he'd brought with him.

"Now, I'd like to read to my grandchildren. I trust you'll hold all questions until the end?" Ra's quips.

And so, he begins to read from the first book of the Crime Bible on the Religion of Crime.

	And Lian will continue to run her mouth, while trying to free herself of her muzzle. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Sometime Later... dc_baddie 2011-03-31 12:41 am UTC (link)
	Ra's has made sure that Lian's arms are chained to the wall as well. Getting out of her muzzle or her bed will be tough to do, for the time being. "I hope you're taking notes, Lian. There will be a test later." Ra's says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lian glared at him, and might have told him exactly where he could put his reading. (Reply to this)(Parent)
