A scene of efficient carnage served as a backdrop to the man in full HYDRA office goon insignia quaking in animal terror as he sat before a terminal, its lights flickering garishly across his features, now hollowed out by fear. Behind him stood the Winter Soldier, fanned by seven still warm corpses, collapsed upon themselves in a way that suggested they had been felled one after the other in regularly timed succession... with not one shot fired.

The man was scrolling for something; stopped, frozen, when the Soldier spoke up.

"That file." The pale light of a string of text, newly emerged upon the screen, refracted across the room, across the angles of the Soldier's expressionless face. ( Cut for transcript; tw for torture. )
