POST REVEAL

Five 'Deys' Later

"Knock, knock!"

The door opened, allowing some light to enter the dark bunker that Winn was held at and flush his eyes.

"Good morning Mr. Schott! Your time is up", William said shortly as he walked inside. On his face, the usual smile, still hiding his discomfort.

Winn didn't answer him. It's been almost 2 days that he hasn't left the bruised mattress that was lying in the corner of the room.

The last few days were terrible for him. Not knowing where he was, working on something that will probably harm his best friend, Kara.

He hasn't seen her, or everyone else, for almost 2 years. And after all this time... It felt like hell.

William, on the other hand, was very energetic and excited to 'prove' himself to his, supposedly, superiors, as Winn guessed.

"Is it done?" he asked, closing the door behind him. He started to walk around, loud steps on the dusty floor, totally getting into the scary, unexpected character that he had built for himself.

The room turned dark again once the door closed.

"Yes," Winn answered him quietly. His voice was hoarse. It's been a few long days he hasn't said a word. He turned himself and faced the wall behind him. William's face was the last face he wanted to see.

William made room for two men to walk inside.

"Take this. Make sure it works", William ordered them to take the improved technology.

The last two days were a waste of time for Winn, not that William or anyone else bothered to check. Truth was, he was more than capable of completing the mission in less than a day, but his conscious made it more difficult.

Yet, he finished two days before expected. He spent them thinking about Kara and everyone else and their reunion, wondering what was going to happen to him.

"I figured why you told me your plan," he told the British irrigate man that walked freely around the room.

"Is that so?" Dey teased. He stopped walking and sat on the chair behind the dirty, black desk that Winn worked on.

"You're going to kill me, aren't you?" Winn asked him the only thing he wasn't sure about.

Yet.

"And what makes you think I will?" William asked, interested.

"Your plan is too good to be faked, and you know me. So you know what my friends and I are capable of", Winn started slowly regaining his confidence. "If I get out of here, you'll be dead or worse, that's why you're not going to let me out of here".

The conclusion was final. If Winn escapes, William will be caught and the superfriends will win. If he doesn't... well, William couldn't keep him there forever...

"You're right. You're not getting out of here, because we still need you for one more thing", William responded, amused and yet, desperate to end whatever that was.

Again, that 'We'...

We who? It seemed like Winn was having his own mystery to solve.

"What for? I did what you asked me to do", Winn said and sat up, on the mattress, leaning on the wall behind him. He was staring at William with certainty and anger, making the British man sweaty and nervous.

William wasn't sure what to say and as he was wondering how to form his answer, he also managed to assure Winn that he was nothing but a man obeying other ones' orders.

"Everything will become clear in time", he spoiled, "now, as promised, Marie!"

The two men walked inside again with Winn's mother. The bomb around her neck was gone.

As soon as they loosened their hold, the concerned and confused mother ran to Winn and hugged him.

Despite his relief, Winn didn't hurry to thank William. His answer wasn't satisfying enough. There was more.

"I always keep my promises," William answered Winn suspicious glance. His words seemed like someone gave him a script to act according to.

He was about to leave the room when suddenly he stopped. Winn assumed it was because he remembered at another part of the script he, supposedly, received.

"Before I go, I have a question for you", he teased and something about the way his eyebrows narrowed with pity made Winn concerned.

William stepped closer to the mattress, bending over so he could face Winn, "I want you to remember- once you answer me, it will stop", he lowered his voice, twisting his face a little like he was going to give Winn that annoying, mean smile of his, but then decided not to, or just couldn't.

Bad casting.

He ordered the men to let the poor mother out of the room.

"What do you mean, I can stop it? Stop what?" Winn asked with confusion.

"I said I won't hurt your mother Winn, but we do need some information that I know you have", William told him and stood back up, slowly walking backward as things became clearer to the young man on the mattress.

"Just know that you're the only one who can stop it" he reminded him as if he was begging for Winn to do so. He took a quick gaze at the men, nodding slightly.

The men nodded back with approval and hurried aggressively towards Winn. The pulled him forcefully away from his mattress as William prepared one of the chairs.

 "What are you doing? What do you want?!" Winn shouted, unable to escape the ropes that held him once more against the chair.

"Stop resisting, it'll only hurt more!" William yelled, letting a hidden worry escape into his tone. "It's only one simple question", he added and stepped closer to the chair.

"Stop! Let me go!"

The tall and creepy men opened a black suitcase on the table beside Winn. There were a lot of silver tools in it and Winn didn't have to think too hard to understand what those tools were made for.

William inhaled and took a few steps back, gaining a scary pose before asking the one question he was requested to get an answer for, "who is Supergirl?"

"I don't know", Winn lied quietly, making one of the men place a knife on his skin.

"You can answer now and avoid what's coming, Winn, it's your choice", William gave him a last warning and integrated his arms, "what is Supergirl's identity?"

"I- don't- know", Winn repeated.

Alex would've been proud if she saw him then. He stared at William bravely, guaranteeing him that he wasn't going to say a word, even if it cost him his life.

"You're lying. He's all yours boys", William told the men and walked out of there.

The door closed behind him, filling the room with darkness again.

"Last chance. Who is she?!" one of the men shouted in his face, forcing his horrible breath into Winn's mouth.

Winn raised his head to face him, smiling with certainty and narrowing his eyes, "I don't know what William thinks I do. But whoever she is, you'll regret messing with her", he teased with apathy.

The man punched him strongly with a laugh, "well, if that's the case, then it's going to be a long night".
