Buzz and crackle of Otto's baton, closing on your chest. You look down at the baton, and back up to Otto. Zapped enough times now - back away. Feel for the wall. One hand holding your side where Boris already landed enough punches. Labored breath, push a hand back, and try to pull a leg under yourself. Get up damnit. Try to stand bracing against the wall. The athlete in you wants to fight back, muscles tense, hand clenching into a fist.
Boris steps forward, taking the little light that peeks around Otto. Otto reaches forward, baton inching towards your neck. Turn your head away, glaring up through hair that has fallen over your face. Buzz of electricity making your skin crawl. Otto waves his baton at you. You concede the few inches gained and drop back down. Harsh exhale. Otto steps back.
Handcuffs tossed on your lap. Look down, then up at Boris. Clench your teeth, close your eyes. Glaring won't do any good. Pick up the cuffs. You close one bracelet around your left wrist, stomach sinking with every click, cold metal against your skin. You look down at your hands and start to bring the other bracelet around to your right wrist.
"No." Boris shakes his head. "Around." He makes a circle with his finger and waits. "On knees."
Swallow again. Pride, ego... pointless. Otto waves the baton at you, waiting. You pull a leg under yourself and push yourself up to a kneeling position. Boris makes a circle with his finger, and waits, crossing his arms.
You turn around. Grit your teeth and reach your arms behind you. Reach for your right wrist with your left. Close the other bracelet around your wrist, feeling each click pull the metal closed. A hand shoves your head forward, grabbing the hair on top of your head to hold you in place. Head bowed, hair falling into your face again. Hot breath on the back of your neck. A hand holds your head down as the other closes each bracelet down another notch. No chance of slipping out. You tug anyway, testing for what give you have. Metal holds.
