Misery Loves Company - Test Scene
Himon sits in his cell as he has every day for the last month, plotting a way out of this predicament. Twice now, he has knocked out the guards and gotten as far as the entrance to the holding pens before his grandfather has caught him. Each time, the Omega Beams hit him from seemingly nowhere and he finds himself back in his cell, considering a new plan of escape.

The cell across from him was empty until yesterday, when they brought the newest prisoner in. Upon seeing her, Himon's face paled in shock. The beating his cousin Hope had taken was vintage Kalibak, which meant that Hope had fought back. He knew she would, because that was the kind of person Hope was. But Hope fought when she /had/ to, rather than for the sake of hurting people.

Kalibak held no such compunctions.

As she stirs, Himon watches her, struggling to maintain impassive. He understands the psychology of putting them in the same area together, but the real question is /why/?

What is Darkseid hoping to obtain?

	The Omega Beams hit their mark, and Hope fell to the ground, crying out in pain. She struggled to get back up, trying to ignore the pain shooting throughout her entire body. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Kalibak steps aside as Darkseid walks forward, his footfalls heavy on the ground.

"If you will not stand with me, you will kneel at my feet." he says as smoke rises from his eyes.

"You will lead my Female Furies, and you will drag your mother, father and sister before me in chains.

And you will do it gladly." he says.

Then he blasts her again and again and again.

And then again.

	"You'll have to kill me," Hope spat. The pain shooting through her entire body was agonizing. She could feel her vision start to blur...though still, she tried to stand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"For the Anti-Life Equation, my granddaughter, I would wring every drop of blood, every breath of air and every ounce of life from your body and not regret the decision." Darkseid says.

"Now, kneel!" he says, turning the Omega Beams on full force.

Hope is teleported across Apokolips to the Rehabilitation Center, where Granny Goodness has strapped her into a hard chair.

"Oh, Hope! You are being given the highest of honors. Granny wonders why you can't see that." the elderly woman sneers.

"Now, tell Granny when it hurts." she says, throwing a switch.

And so begins Hope's torture at the hands of her "family".
