Chapter 8 - Adrenaline

Tom's POV

"Well then, let's test that theory."

"What the hell d'you mean by that?" I spat at Rafe. He winked at me and walked over to two of his guards. He pulled out a syringe with a very small amount of substance in it smirking as he tapped it. "W-what is that? What are you doing?!"

"Relax, Tom. This isn't for you."

"...Y/n..." I whispered. "...No. No! Don't you dare do anything to her!" I got up after regaining my strength from being tased on the floor and I started running to him but a guard swept my legs and tased my back again so I was left breathless on the floor looking up at Rafe who was walking towards y/n.

"Would you calm down?! It's adrenaline, to contradict the rohypnol we put in her earlier to knock her out. This is just enough to get her to wake up." Despite this calming my nerves about her being in more pain, something still felt off.

Rafe gently moved y/n's head to the side moving loose strands of hair out of the way and injected the adrenaline into her neck. There was silence in the cold room as Rafe put the empty syringe back into a little case. Y/n began stirring awake.

"...Mm...hmm..." I ran over to her almost tripping over my feet.

"Y-y/n! Oh my god, y/n!"

"...Mm...T-To...T-Tom...?" Her head was still drooping and her eyes fluttered slightly.

"It's ok, I'm here, I'm here. Don't worry, I'm gonna get you out of here."

"...T-Tom...I-I'm sorry..."

"You have nothing to be sorry for. You're gonna be alright, everything will be alright." I cupped her face and kissed her forehead.

"Y'know, Tom." Rafe started. "You shouldn't tell lies."

"What?"

"You shouldn't tell her lies like that. Saying it's going to be alright for both of you when it quite clearly..." he gestured to all the guards around the room "won't be." He smirked at me.

"What's that supposed to mean?!" With that, I felt two large hand grip strongly around my arms. Before I could react I was being dragged kicking and screaming into another room next door. I wasn't shouting to escape I was simply shouting at y/n. I needed to help her, to get her out.
"Y/n! Y/n! No! Let. Me. Go! Y/n. I-"

"Shut it!" Rafe cut me off.

30 minutes later

I was shoved into a chair in the middle of the room next to a large mirror. My arms were immediately strapped behind the back of the chair. He ran his fingers through his hair and scoffed. "You need to listen to me. We're gonna ask you some questions about your little 'mission' and so on. Okay? We've tried this already on her... but we're gonna try something slightly different for you."

"What d'you mean something different?"

"This." And with that, Rafe walked over to the doorway and pressed a small button making the mirror on the wall go see through. My chair was shoved forward slightly and as I looked through the window I could see y/n lying across the cold floor by herself. He chest rose slowly like it was hard for her to breathe. "Now, Tom, tell me... how much does y/n mean to you." I didn't answer, I simply continued staring at her. "Quiet... hm. Would you say she's just a friend, or a colleague... or maybe..."
I looked at him with an expression of rage and confused emotions. "Maybe more than that?" He smirked evilly at me.

Two of the many guards left the room and walked into the concrete area y/n lay. She was barely conscious, she looked like she was in so much pain, so vulnerable and weak. Bloodied and beaten.

"I want everything you know about SHIELD. Now." Rafe looked me dead in the eyes but I simply shot daggers back at him and spat in his face. "Well, if that's how you're gonna be." He tapped a microphone speaker and pressed a button. "Boys... have some fun."

Both men looked at Rafe and I, then back at y/n. They began kicking her stomach. With every hit she winced painfully and clenched her whole body in scrutinising pain. She was curled up in a ball crying on the cold hard floor.

"NO! NO! STOP IT!" I yelled at Rafe, he smiled and chuckled to himself.

"Tom, they'll stop hurting her as soon as you answer me."

One of the men then kicked her in her back, hard. She stretched out from her curled up position and arched her spine backwards and screamed in pain. Her face was flushed, covered in bruises with tear stains on each cheek.

"Y/N! Y/N! Please! Hurt me! Not her! Please god stop!" And yet they carried on. Beating her senseless until her screaming stopped and silent tears dropped from her eyes onto the ground. She was blinking every few seconds but she didn't move a muscle. She made no sound what so ever. They smirked at her and then each other.

"Tom, I'm giving you one last chance here." Rafe seemed slightly more irritated at this point. He knew I didn't want to give any information away but he also knew I didn't want anything to happen to y/n. He left me alone in the room and said something to the two men. "Okay, Tom. I warned you. I told you this was your last chance and you didn't listen. Know that this is your fault." And with that he pat the men on their shoulders and left the room.

"W-wha... I- I don-"

Both men just chuckled to themselves and the two men who stood guarding me smirked.

They walked over to y/n's unconscious body and dragged her upwards to sit on a chair. They tied her hands to the back of the chair and began slowly undoing the back of her dress. I knew exactly what they were thinking and I was horrified, disgusted, and so so angry.

"NO!" I stood up still tied to my chair and dropped backwards onto the floor smashing the wooden chair to pieces. I could feel the adrenaline rushing through my body. The two men who were supposed to be guarding me had no time to react before I'd used one of
y/n's moves flipping them over and knocking them both out at the same time. I sprinted faster than ever out of the room and into the one with y/n in. I grabbed one of Rafe's guns from the side and shot both men before they could continue with y/n

"Y/n! Y/n! Oh my god!" I untied the knot restricting her hands which left marks around her wrists no worse than the ones all over her body and face. Her body was so weak, she collapsed off of the chair and onto the ground. I cupped her face and moved the strands of hair out of her face holding her in my arms rocking back and forth.

"It's gonna be alright, darling. It's gonna be alright."
