Agent H2O

James Buchanan Barnes

Everything after that was kind of a blur. I think I was tied back to the chair and left there for a while and then the dunking began again.

This process repeated for days I think. I would loose consciousness for lack of oxygen and thy could preform CPR and bring me back. Then tie me back to the chair and begin again tomorrow.

I wondered why nobody came for me. After I woke up from the first day I sent out a distress call from a little communicator that was kept in a secret pocket in my pants. I was beginning to think i was done for.

I think it was the sixth day, I think, when something out of the ordinary happened; someone came for me. It wasn't a shield agent either.

I was really out of it when they dragged me back to the tub that day. I didn't try to struggle because I had no strength left because I'm pretty sure I hadn't eaten since before they caught me. Don't try and not eat,people, it sucks.

My stomach ached as well as my head and chest and practically my entire body. I could barely feel my fingers from being tied up so long.

They started the dunking again. I tried I hold my breath but it's kind of hard when they're hitting your sides as they do it.

Suddenly their grasp on me was gone and slumped forward into the water. I tried to pull myself out o the water but I only managed to sink myself further in.

My lungs burned with the effort of not breathing and I started blacking out when a strong arm pulled me out. The last thing I saw was a familiar face half covered in a mask that I would never forget.

Line break

The next time I was awake I felt vibrating. The familiar vibration of a plane. The next thing I felt was the pain in my chest and head. I also felt hot, too hot. I tried to open my eyes but it felt as though they were sealed.

The next thing hit me hard; I felt a sharp pain in my side. I groaned and tried to move my hands but they were strapped down, which started me on a panic attack. instantly I couldn't breath and the pain in my side intensified.

I vaguely heard my name being called; Called by a child. I recognized the child, it was the boy I rescued from the market.

I opened my eyes and this time they obeyed. I saw Atticus starring over me clearly panicking." Ssssssshhhhhh."

He calmed slightly and started talking rapidly in Greek:" percy, a man came with you and took your equipment and me and took us here. I don't know where he's taking us but he said I could unstrap you if you woke up."

He undid my restraints and I sat up rubbing my bandaged wrist. I looked around and saw all my equipment in one corner.

I slid off the bed and started walking towards the cockpit. Atticus was right behind me, grabbing my shirt as I limped towards the front of the plane.

I slid open the door. The man in the front turned around slightly at my entrance but quickly turned back to the front."thank..."

He cut me off." Don't thank me."

I turned to Atticus." Go take inventory." He saluted and headed back to the end of the jet.

" I know who you are and I know what you've done and it's good your doing good instead of you previous way." I said, eyeing him carefully.

He looked at me." How can you know that I've actually changed?"

" I've seen this before, I know how to read certain people. You couldn't help what you were doing. You were under someone else's control."

" but how can you..."

" I've been through this before and I know what it's like." I started explaining to him everything about Luke. By the end he understood why I could forgive him." I never caught you name before."

" James Buchanan  Barnes."
