Tony gasped awake, his chest heaving as he instinctively yanked out the tube from his nose. His breath came in ragged gulps as his eyes darted around the dimly lit room. Panic set in as he reached for a glass of water on a nearby table, but his trembling hand sent it clattering to the ground, shattering into pieces. Desperation clawed at his throat. He needed water. Now.
He spotted a flask nearby and lunged for it, but the moment he rolled over, a sharp tug stopped him cold. Wires. Something tethered him. A surge of alarm shot through him as he strained against the restraints.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you," a calm voice echoed from across the room. Tony turned sharply toward the source. A man, unfazed by the chaos, stood in front of a small, cracked mirror, casually shaving his face.
Tony slumped back onto the cot, his chest rising and falling as he tried to regain control. His eyes followed the wires attached to his body. They ran to a crude-looking car battery sitting on the floor. Horror washed over him as he clawed at the bandages on his chest, ripping them away with shaking hands.
Underneath, he found a device embedded into his skin, wires snaking out of it like grotesque veins. His breath hitched. The realization hit him like a freight train.
