Captured for Interrogation

[bindingeagle]

"well I'm feeling very rested, so let's go eat," he said. "You can fill me in on the interrogation over a big sandwich."

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis smiled and got food for them. Over lunch, she told him about the interrogation. "It's not really slavery, and I know she'll have a good life with Jason," she explained. "She perceives it as horrible, but Jason's a gentle Master."

"I thought you'd at least beat the hell out of her," he said. "After what she arranged for you to do."

 

[celestialdragon]

"I'm not going to beat her," Alexis said quietly, poking at her food.

 

[bindingeagle]

"Is my Alexis actually showing mercy to the enemy?" he asked, gently rubbing her back.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis looked at him and nodded. "She'll just react to it pretty much the same way I would," she said softly. "There's no point."

 

[bindingeagle]

"Making yourself fell better, maybe?" he asked. "Get out some of that frustration?" He paused and thought. "You're probably right,, when are you going to meet with her this evening?"

 

[celestialdragon]

"Later, probably," Alexis said, resting her head on his shoulder and closing her eyes. The guilt from what she did in Wu's lair still radiated through her, and she was trying not to let it show. "Want to watch me beat the shit out of a punching bag?" she asked.

 

[bindingeagle]

"Sure, I'll even hold it for you," he said, clearing his tray.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis smiled and cleaned up. She changed into shorts and a tank top before heading to the matted area of the gym. She tossed Nikolai the punching bag. "Ready?" she asked, going into her crouch.

 

[bindingeagle]

"Ready," he said, bracing the heavy bag to receive her blows.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis ferociously started attacking the bag with punches and kicks, ramming her shoulders and elbows into it as well. She was relentless in her attacks, being careful not to hit Nikolai, until she collapsed on the ground, on her knees, an hour later.

Nikolai got her a bottle of water and helped her onto a bench. "Are you feeling better?" he asked, concerned.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis took a shaky sip from the bottle and nodded. "Yeah, a bit," she said.

 

[bindingeagle]

"Would you mind holding the bag for me for a bit?" he asked, wrapping his knuckles and putting on gloves.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis nodded and got up and held the bag ready for him.

 

[bindingeagle]

Nikolai focused on landing his punches where he wanted to go in the proper form as he worked. After an hour, he got himself water and sat back down. "Thanks," he said, putting his arms over his head to get better airflow.

 

[celestialdragon]

"Always, baby," Alexis said, kissing his cheek. "I wasn't caring too much about form, I just needed to punch something."

 

[bindingeagle]

"I just let you go at it," he said. "It seemed to relax you a lot."

 

[celestialdragon]

"It did," Alexis agreed. "This op was brutal. Are you feeling okay?" she asked. She knew how powerful the drug he was given was, and he was given large doses of it.

 

[bindingeagle]

"Much better since you gave me release and I got to rest," he said. "And you? I know she dosed you as well."

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis nodded. "It was out of my system quickly. It was a standard procedure during training, that drug. Plus Wu's used it on me numerous times. But from the toxicology I did, they gave you enough for a man three times your size."

 

[bindingeagle]

"Jesus, no wonder she got to me so fast," he said. "Want me to do anything to her?"

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis shook her head. "No, baby," she said, stroking his hair. "Let's get more food in you, mkay?"

 

[bindingeagle]

"OK, but it isn't fair you got all the fun," he said, faking being hurt. He got another huge meal and sat down to eat it.
