"Asuna, Lisbeth, help me out." Klein said as he eyed the rope suspiciously as he, Lisbeth and Asuna followed the Doctor's instructions. Quintus glared at where Bane left as he grunted. "I'll kill you, you excuse of a luchadore." He hissed out as he tried getting up but fell flat on his face.<br/><br/>Zach kicked Quintus again, "Stop acting like a psycho..."<br/><br/>Bruce was put upright with the rope holding him in a standing position. The doctor examined Bruce's back. "This..vertebrae is protruding..." The doctor said as the man in the wheelchair handed Bruce a thick belt and put it in Bruce's mouth. "Okay...three....two, one!" The doctor slammed his fist into the spot in Bruce's back<br/><br/>Quintus took the kick and glared at Zach. What other choice did he have? He was trying to keep his meltdown in check. He didn't want to turn it on his friends. The rest of the group. Including Kirito cringed as They watched the doctor punch Bruce's back. "What kind of Doctor IS he?!" Lisbeth whispered to Zach.<br/><br/>"That is just painful." Klein commented.<br/><br/>Zach sighed, "Well it's not like they're very well equipped, Pinky." He looked at her: "Are you ok? You got strangled back there..it scared me." He blushed.<br/><br/>"I'm fine lucky he didn't cause to much damage to me." She responded rubbing her neck. "You managed to divert his attention from me to ensure that. I owe ya one."<br/><br/>Klein and Kirito saw the interaction and whispered to Leafa and Asuna who decided to just keep having the two keep at their conversation.<br/><br/>"You know," Lisbeth said. "I knew you were gonna do that anyway Hero." She said, poking his nose. "I mean, we were in a bit of an ambush we gotta help each other out. Now here we are in a cell."<br/><br/>Zach blushed and cleared his throat. "Hey uh....since we're gonna be in here awhile...probably.....stuck with just us. I might as well tell you uh.." Zach started to sweat and turn redder.<br/><br/>"You're really pretty and really cool and fun to get along with...you're funny and witty and I....I know we live a long ways away from each other but....I'd like to um..." Zach stammered<br/><br/>"Like to what? Come on Zach you can tell me." Lisbeth said. "Even if it's playing tic tac toe on the wall even!"<br/><br/>Quintus facepalmed at the interaction. It was so darn obvious too! He was into her. "Zach just spit it out!" He urged.<br/><br/>Zach jumped at Quintus's urging and just blurted out...louder than he needed to: "I love you!"<br/><br/>Now it was Lisbeth's turn to blush. "W-what? You're serious? Confessing in a cell room? You couldn't wait until someone dropped the soap?" Lisbeth said, trying to keep her composure and crack at least one more joke.<br/><br/>Quintus tried really hard not to laugh at the joke. "Oh, oh no... she got me to laugh, oh no." He said trying hard to control himself.<br/><br/>"Well..." Lisbeth continued, I guess as long as this is happening right now, I guess..I..." she then trailed off mumbling incoherently.<br/><br/>"Yes! She's confessing!" Asuna and Leafa squealed happily as Kirito gave a thumbs up.<br/><br/>"This is touching, despite the fact we're still in a cell possibly about to be tortured and Bane might use this against them." Klein interjected.<br/><br/>Zach smiled and then..kissed Lisbeth. "I love you, Pinky...."<br/>Lisbeth, still blushing, looked at him shocked before smiling softly. "Love you too, you dummy." She hugged him tightly as Asuna and Leafa applauded.
