Clint lasts 10 whole minutes and manages to drop about 40 out of 100 enemies before a shot to his side leaves him vulnerable and someone grabs him from behind, they didn't kill him, that was not a comforting thought as it should have been. Instead they threw him into the back of a van with 2 armed soldiers, I was really incapacitated and the had the upper hand, I was bound by the hands and feet as well as my elbows and knees. They weren't taking chances it seems.
They stopped at a far away facility where they dumped Clint in a cell, untied him and left him in the cold, damp and clearly hard to escape cell. The walls were rock, the door was solid wood with new steel hinges and the place had to windows, Clint pulled out his phone to see nearly 20 replies
Bruce: you ok?
Nat: Where are you?
Steve: You never told us where you were going
Tony: tracker?
Nat: SHIELD tracker? You cut it out?!
Steve: SHIELD puts trackers where they need to be cut out?
Bruce: That's not healthy
Tony:found it, you're in Iraq?
Nat: CLINT YOU LITTLE SHIT! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?!
Steve: I assume you know more than us?
Tony: I found your "teammate", really Clint? A dog?
Nat: Send a picture
Tony: picture sent
Nat: CLINT YOU LITTLE SHIT! GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE!
Steve: mind sharing with the class?
Nat: He was deployed by the army into a war zone without telling us
Steve, Nat, Bruce and Tony: left group (temporarily)
Bucky: we'll get you out Clint, don't worry
Tony: rejoined group
Tony: found your dog, led us to your base, please be alive
Clint sighs and begins typing 'I'm ok, prisoner but ok, I'll get out of this'
Nat, Bruce and Steve: rejoined group
Nat: where are you
Clint: I don't know
Bruce: are you hurt
Clint: not yet
Steve: where is the rest of your team
Clint....didn't make it out, Daisy's the last
Tony: Daisy?
Clint: the dog
Tony: oh
Bucky: has invited you to a private chat
Bucky: How are you, really?
Clint: fine
Bucky: Clint
CLint: Bucky
Bucky: grrrr
Clint: :P
Bucky: no seriously
Clint: I'm fine, they will want information though
Bucky: you tell me when that happens
Clint: of course
The lock on the door jiggles and Clint hides his phone behind a stone, a man speaking in Arabic "من أنت ، ما هو اسمك؟" (who are you, what is your name?), Clint answers sarcastically with a snort, the man is less than pleased "احضاره" (bring him!) he yells and 2 large men grab Clint by the armpits, the wound on his side aching as they toss him around like a rag doll. They place him on a table and strap him down tightly as the leader grabs a knob-ed cane from another table and examines it "يا الألم وسوف تجعلك تشعر" (oh the pain I will make you feel) and once Clint is secure he starts caning his feet, Clint repeats a mantra in his head "pain can be ignored, pain can be ignored", not wanting to give the man the satisfaction of a scream.
Once the man is done Clint is dragged back to the cell and dumped there with little regard to his injuries and as soon as the door closes he grabs the phone
Bucky: Promise?
Bucky: Clint?
Bucky: Clint!
Bucky: are you ok?
Bucky: SHit, either they took your phone or you're being tortured
Clint: I'm ok...ish
Bucky: Ish?
Clint: they caned my feet, not going anywhere for a few hours
Bucky: sit rep
Clint: Bullet wound to my side and caned feet
Bucky: that's not it, they will come back
Clint: I know
That is all Clint can take before the exhaustion of the day catches up with him and he passes out on the cold, dirty, damp floor, he at least drops the phone behind him. Clint is rudely awoken by cold water in his face and over his chest and instinctively draws a deep breath only to realize he was drowning, the convulsions set on and he was spasming on the table he was caned on yesterday, it took a moment for his mind to get on board with what was happening but when it did it came to the conclusion that he was being waterboarded while a man yelled at him in Arabic he couldn't hear, he couldn't hear anything. His aids had short circuited the second the water touched them.
He was captured, being tortured and deaf, not good.
