How long?
He feels the words scratching at his throat, digging up in his mouth, unable to give them proper life. The thought that won’t fully form, as the ice clears from in front of his eyes, and the biting heat of the room closes in. Grey walls. Scattering scientists and standing soldiers. No different. He knows a few-
The thought falls through his fingers.
The door is a clatter in his ears, and the footsteps that fall loud, and the man who falls with a thud (knees, his thoughts tell with, the hollow echo is his knees falling to the floor) right there. A prisoner, but all the Captain looks at is the one behind him. Handler. Brown hair, strong eyes, and a familiarity that stays even through the electric pain.
“Look! Look at your precious Captain!”
His fingers tighten on the edges of the chair as the technicans lean in, pulling the leather from his wrists, and he’s free but he doesn’t move, sits there, waits for the orders. They will come. Even if his mind is empty now, the orders will come and he will follow.
The handler leans, looks at the man at their feet, and squeezes his shoulder. “He’s yours,” they say, and the words feel right in his mind. This man, this man at his feet is his. “Do with him what you will.”
The room empties out, and the Captain looks down at the man. Slowly, he steps to his feet, moves towards the figure.
"Mine. You are mine. You understand?"
