Yikes. So he was getting punished for letting the dragon hybrids go?

Yeup,the second time with D and the first with 4HD. He was getting it bad.

For sure. They were the only specimens the lab had of their kind

And they saw it his fault for letting them go when he'd had a job and failed,and so he wasn't the most quiet screamer.His bosses learned that.

Poor Luke. Never thought I would ever say that, but...I can't help but feel bad.

Don't,he tasered D so he deserves the brandings.A little bit,but being honest I feel bad as well.He's meh child and now he's being branded all over.

Yeah. It's hard to see a character go through that, but...think of the great plot it will have. Think of the plot.

Yeah.A great plot!...with my suffering book child.

Peak in on him.:

Luke huffed as he tried not to scream again.The room was dark and only the light of the fire that the people used to stick the metal in glowed fairly bright. He knew begging was out of the picture,mostly because they had ripped his back of his shirt open and where burning him along his spine with long metal bars. He screamed out in pure agony as the metal hissed against his spine. He felt his blood boil in the veins back there and then it trickled out of the open area's of burnt and ripped skin.

....okay. The plot could've waited, but since we've already decided, Luke continued to suffer....

Majorly,he screamed as they raked the metal back and pulled skin with it.

"You let her go,and damaged her before we could get her back.Now you'll feel pain,as she had and will once she's back." Hissed a voice in the dark,somehow able to speak above the agonized screams that escaped Luke's shivering body.
