I wake up tied to a chair, I was in some sort of underground base thing. It was huge.

Anyway. Now that I've waked up, he reveals himself. The Punisher.

Jack: Oh, you again.

Punisher: Yeah.

He was sitting eating a tin of tuna.

Jack: This your "house".

Punisher: It's whatever I want it to be.

I was tied to the chair with ropes or chains.
I was tied with zip ties and my hands were behind it.  This should be easy, the amount of times I've broke out of zip ties.

I start the process of escaping.

Punisher: Y'know.  I'm on the run myself.  For killing too many people like you.  Traitors, murderers, rapists-

Jack: This supposed to make me scared? Now that you say that, we're a lot alike. 

Punisher: We're nothing alike.

Jack: I've served this country close on 8 years.  Yeah, I did kill those "soldiers" but it wasn't me who betrayed the flag, they did.  There's footage, footage that backs up what I'm saying and earns them the death penalty, not me.  You want the truth?

Punisher: I already know the tru-

Jack: No.  You don't.  If you want the truth, you'll track down a man named David Walker.  He's got the footage.  The shit Cole did to me, to my soldiers.  Enough to drive a man to suicide.

Punisher: You trying to change my mind with sappy shit, is that it?

Jack: No.  I'm trying to get through your thick skull that not everything you see on the news is the truth.  How about you do as I say and hear it from the guys son, huh?

Punisher: I've had enough of this.

Jack: Haha.  That's who you are!  Frank Castle!

He immediately turns around and comes over.

Frank: The fuck did you just say?!

He tries to grip my throat but now I was out the zip ties so I grab his hand, take it off course and punch him in the face.  He stumbles back a bit.

Frank: How you know my name?

Jack: We served together, Frank. 6 years ago. Marines.

Frank: That ain't true!

Jack: Yes, it is. Now, you can stay here with your ass kicked or you can come with me and we'll kill this son of a bitch Walker.

Frank: You think I'm just gonna come with you? Just like that?

Jack: Either way, I'm leaving here.

Frank: Go. Find him. Bring him here and if you have proof, you have my apologies.

Jack: Alright.

I make my way to the exit and leave. At least he's giving me a chance.

I have to get home first. It's still nighttime and I have to tell the others and let them know what's about to go down.

...

I arrive there.

I went quietly so I didn't wake anyone up but that didn't matter as Kate was on the couch.

Kate: Your back.

Jack: I'm back.

Kate: Where did you go?
