Loki led you through the halls quickly. Gradually guards took up their places around you, and with every door you passed more and more people would step into the hallway to watch Loki and his growing entourage. You turned one last corner to a dead-end hallway. Guards were standing on either side of a door near the end. As you ventured deeper down the hallway, you could feel the air cool significantly, and suddenly the feeling of being trapped gnawed at your stomach. A mole... you knew Loki was referring to Bucky, and the entire walk through the Tower made your stomach churn. The guards standing at the door stepped aside and allowed you and Loki to enter, several of the other guards who had followed you along the way entered also, but stayed with their backs to the wall.
The room itself was dark; the little light coming in from the open door did little to illuminate the room. Loki softly tugged you closer, having apparently sensed your unease.
"J.A.R.V.I.S. if you would..." The raven haired man said as he stepped further into the room. A low beeping noise echoed in the room and the door slowly shut behind you.
You jumped nearly five feet in the air when the spotlights turned on. They were blindingly bright and it took you a moment to adjust, but once you did, you were able to see Bucky, hunched over on the ground, chained by his neck, arms, legs and torso to a large cement block in the middle of the room.
You became frozen, your legs wouldn't move and you could barely breathe... This entire situation wasn't good. You had expected something like this... but actually seeing it... It made your skin crawl and chest ache. Loki's hold on you didn't loosen, in fact, it tightened, and he forced you further into the room which only made your chest hurt more.
"My, my..." Loki chuckled. "I thought you would have had the sense to run, or at least try to escape..." the raven haired man's tone was dark and bitter, and made your spine shiver.
"Sir, I have no reason to - -," Bucky started as he looked up, but slowly trailed off when he caught sight of you.
"You had all the reason to run Barnes." Loki snarled harshly as he released you and then stepped forward into the direct light of the spot lights. "But then, those chains are made of pure adamantium, even The Monster wouldn't be able to break through them, you can thank Stark for the supply..." Bucky took this chance to look your way once more, and you immediately knew what he wanted, the questioning gaze he held was a dead giveaway... He wanted to know who had told Loki, and judging from the dark hint to his gaze, he thought that person was you. You quickly, but as discretely as possible, shook your head and mouthed the words "The Teacher" over and over again, hoping he would get the message. Loki's emerald green eyes moved between the two of you, which stopped you from communicating with him anymore.
