he had it coming [closed]
Who | Steve Rogers, Bucky Barnes, and Carlos
What | Misery loves company. Misery has company. Misery has no choice but to put up with company.
Where | Their holding cell.
When | After the jailbreak.
Warnings/Notes | Mentions of torture.
Here is a list of good things about the situation:
- Carlos still has his glasses.
- Carlos still has his lab coat.
- Carlos is no longer being interrogated.
- Carlos's arms are no longer cuffed behind his back.
Here is a list of the bad things about the situation:
- Carlos has a very painful brand on his temple, near his right eye.
- Carlos doesn't know where the other prisoners are.
- Carlos doesn't know if they're okay. Probably not.
Carlos's mind categorizes all these pros and cons neatly into little rows. It's important to keep stock of his situation. It's important to see everything around him realistically. A clear perception of reality was part of being a scientist. His body might be sore, bleeding and bruised, but his mind -- his mind is clear. Right?
Then, two people are brought into his cell and placed on the far sides of forcefields, and Carlos mentally retracts the last two items on his list. Now he only doesn't know where most of the other prisoners are. The list breaks even, though, because the presence of Steve and Bucky definitely counts as a bad thing. Not that he minds the company. The company is nice. But Carlos would rather have Steve and Bucky out there free than in here with him. Carlos looks over through the force fields at his brand-new cellmates.
"Hi, Steve."
He says it tiredly, but not sadly. Really, Carlos just sounds worn out. He looks worn out.
