Lost Island and Human Testing

[Raven]

((and Vixie isn't even numb!))
"What's your name?" Vixie asked.
"Preston," the man answered. "And if you don't come willingly, I'll have to make you."
"Well, Preston, I'll watch when you prepare to make me," Vixie told him.
Preston looked angry. Vixie just smirked. Right until he kicked her feet out from under her. Then her expression turned to one of surprise with a bit of pain. "I would love it if you would come with me, Ms. De Buren," he told her forcefully.

[Gifted]

"Why don't you get lost, new guy?" Pride said, smirking at Vixie's comment.

[Raven]

Preston ignored her, pulling Vixie by the wrist to her feet. She tried to pull away from him with no success. She attempted to throw a punch, but he'd apparently seen it coming. He caught her fist, then turned her towards the door, forcing her towards it.

[Gifted]

Pride got up. If Vixie was willing to fight then dammit, she was going to help. She threw a punch aty the back of the newguys head. "I thought I told you to lay off, new guy,"

[Raven]

Preston transferred both Vixie's wrists to one hand. "No one asked you," he said coldly, still forcing Vixie to the door. Vixie was trying to get loose, but she was amazed how strong he was. They were almost to the door.

[Gifted]

((And he doesn't react AT ALL to the punch in the head?))

[Raven]

((nope... he won't react to anyone but Vixie, because he needs her, but he doesn't want to give the others the satisfaction))

[Gifted]

Pride cut in front of Preston. "What'd you say, New Guy?" She challenged.

[Raven]

Preston glared as he pushed past her. Emily came to Pride and whispered, "If you challenge him, it might just end up getting Vixie in more trouble."

[Gifted]

"Long as she's willing to challenge him, so'm I" Pride said to emily, and punched Preston in the head again, seriously thinking about calling him Mr Rock Brain if he didn't at least flinch this time.

[Raven]

Preston dropped Vixie and turned on Pride. "If they weren't so specific that you were Tony's prize, I don't think I'd be this nice to you, girl," he practically growled.

[Gifted]

"Nobody gives a crap about Tony, New Guy. This is between you and me," Pride snapped. "Let's see you do something to me that'll actually make me give a damn," She challenged him. She hoped he didn't know about her numbness.

[Raven]

"No one on this floor does. However, there are quite a few people who care about Tony, especially his creation of you. You seem to be the most successful experiment, Pride."

[Gifted]

"I'm his only successful expiriment. According to him, all the others died or went insane. But who the F*ck cares what Mr. Sadistic Murderer does with his spare time?" Pride retorted. "Again, this is between you and me,"

[Raven]

Preston's eyes flashed and he pinned her against the wall, holding her throat. "You're right, I don't care about Tony's work. I would think you would want to keep yourself out of harms way, though, even if you're numb. Tell me, Pride, can you feel your lungs getting less oxygen?"
