It's not so fun hurt Devin with hit things, he is too used to it, so nothing like electricity to solve this problem.
He is already soaked anyway.
Devin isn't looking when Kim leaves the room; he's too busy catching his breath now that he's not being pushed underwater. So he doesn't see what it is she brings back with her when she returns.
All he knows is that it hurts.
He's used to heat, after living with Marcus, and being hit. His parents weren't above smacking him around a little (or a lot), and Marcus definitely believed in hitting to make a lesson stick.
But this? Whatever it is that Kim brought?
It's an entirely new type of agony.
It's like he hit his funny bone, but all over. His muscles twitch and spasm involuntarily, and it feels like lightning is traveling down every nerve in his body.
He might be screaming; he isn't sure. His lungs are seizing up too much for him to have much control of what sounds he makes.
