Summary
The handler’s expression is different now, something akin to sadness on his face. Sadness? Handlers have never expressed that in front of the Asset before. Can he tell that the Asset is malfunctioning?
Punishment is surely imminent.
But instead of striking the Asset across the face, or shoving it roughly against the wall, or forcing it to its knees — the handler crouches down again. Crouches down in front of the standing Asset, looking up at it with that same sad face.
The Asset feels its heart rate quicken in fear. Something is very wrong.Or,
The Avengers are alerted by Nick Fury about a recently-recovered HYDRA operative that is being kept in SHIELD custody. Steve, knowing how horrifically SHIELD has treated brainwashed prisoners of HYDRA in the past, appears and demands that they hand the prisoner over to them. The long road to recovery ensues.
