"Enough, That's enough!" The soldier yelled through the glass screen separating the torturer the prisoner being tortured. The raspy desperation in his voice echoed through to the cell on the other side of the glass. Within seconds the man stopped. He stood back and turned to face the soldier.

"Captain, we need answers. We need a lead. This is the only way-"

"I know" The soldier interrupted with a slight absence in his voice. "I just wish you'd at least take it easy on him"

The torturer gave him a quick glance at the prisoner being held up by the arms with spirals of chains attached to the ceiling, before looking back at the soldier. The soldier's face slackened; his brow furrowed, eyes remaining on the prisoner in concern as if he were searching for a response. The torturer stood his ground before wiping the sweat off with the back of his hand. He turned towards the table of torture instruments. Knives,chains,nails and cranks were scatterd on a silver table. The prisoner, obviously weak, didn't show any sign of pain. The torturer picked up an item furthest away from him and walked towards the prisoner. Hysterical shreaks of pain whipped through the air. More blood being drawn from his torso as an addition to his collection of scars he'll recieve after today. Cutting over healed cuts and scars, the torturer mumbled questions to the prisoner giving him the opportunity to answer before he carried on. Each time; the prisoner would refuse to answer and keep silent. The procedure would cycle throughout the day. Never getting answers. Spilling more blood.

"Maybe its best you wait outside,cap." A short red head appeared beside him. Her straight hair hung lightly by her shoulders. Her eyes focused on the scene in front of her. "if you don't like the way it's going then you might as well not watch" Her stern tone made the soldier shiver before breaking his attention from the prisoner to the red head. She did the same, returning the gaze. Her eyes cold yet wholesome. In defeat he turned at his heel and walked towards the exit.

"You continue....and don't stop until you get answers" the red head instructed before following the soldier.

Screams echoed down the halls. Steve stiffened slightly walking down the corridor leading towards the base of S.H.I.E.L.D. Long painful screams. Some filled with desperation, some accompanied with whimpers. It was all too much. They were then muffled as he stumbled through the double doors at the end of the corridor. "It's been two weeks." he half whispered to the red head on his heels.

"I know. I'm sorry but we're not getting any information from him" She added without a hint of remorse in her apology. He turned back at her stopping at his tracks and gave her a cold look.

"What? If it were anyone else you'd be doing the same"

"No." He yelled startling himself. "No, i wouldn't, torturing someone should never be an option" he said in a more hushed tone now walking away from her. His breath hitching at every muffled wail of pain. "Since when did S.H.I.E.L.D start torturing people? Aren't we supposed to saves lives not put them on the line?"

"Desperate times, Steve." she mumbled.

They bursted through the last set of double doors and found himself in the base of S.H.I.E.L.D. Sat in front of a computer screen was Sam, who had his back faced away from them tapping away.

"Dude, it's ridiculous how easy it is to hack into S.H.I.E.L.D's system. It took me less than 10 minutes before-" He turned to the soldiers cold expression. His face looked pinched, his eyes glassy. He knew his friend was trying to keep it together but knew he could crack any second.

"What's wrong with you?" He asked already knowing the answer to his question.

Another wail filled the air causing the soldier to turn his head slightly towards the door. His feet remained rooted into the ground. Sam gave the red head a look- raising his eyebrows before she shook her head slightly. He sighed.
