#v: the handler

[noprisonersjustorder]

He looked around the unfamiliar room, then back to his handler, silently wondering why he has been brought here. He didn't ask, though, knowing he wasn't allowed to speak without permission. ~winterexinferno

Rumlow didn’t give the dark, barely lit surroundings more than a glance before his attention returned to the asset, whom he’d led here without giving him much of a reason as to why. What else is new? 

“Sit.” He nodded towards the single chair in the middle of the room as he unzipped and slipped out of his tact jacket; the temperature in the small enclosed room being on the warmer side. 

“Tell me, what do you know about Captain America?”

THE HANDLER | @therussicnway

“ --- keeping a cool head, good. ”

there is no pull of rank, nor any true indication there of an order made. a suggestion of sorts; politeness layered heavily on sulu’s intent on the situation. the beat of his heart is steady ( always is ), as he watches the curl of fists, the roll of shoulders, and the flit of gaze towards comrades that here think: they’re outnumbered. 

and though yes, that may be the case, the handler likes to believe quality, over quantity. lips curve, that small fraction, as the mechanics of the mind and body are set in motion for something he’d prefer not to have occurred. 

“ --- let’s keep this covert. ”

“just so we’re clear… it was either him or me.”

        “the fuck ‘you tryin’ to pull here? you know I don’t play favorites.”

[noprisonersjustorder]

"You seem to be in quite the mood, Sir."

       “What mood is that? Why don’t you tell me.           Or better yet, show me.”

[noprisonersjustorder]

“You think no one hears," the Asset murmured softly, speech labored. It felt more lucid today than it had in a long time, like there was something old and buried trying to claw its way to the surface. "Hydra... You think there will be no one to stop you.” [[Kinda embellished this a little, feel free to ignore me.]]

Rumlow was on his way out of the room when he overheard the asset mumbling aloud. It was fine. And he didn’t take it personally. This isn’t and wouldn’t be the first or last time it happens, not that Rumlow had a preference to whether he wanted to be witness to it all. It was like witnessing an senile old man trying to get out of bed.

“You reliving your nightmares again?” His voice casual, as if talking about the weather.

"I didn't have sex with that person." [ Yolo ]

sex, lies and videotape

“And you think I’ll believe you just like that? You better try again.”
