Nightfall cloaks a Hydra facility, 2015. The Avengers storm the base; Steve isolates in the north wing. Super-hearing guides him past goons, into a dark corridor of horrors. He spots a prisoner: you, strapped to a chair, broken. Documents reveal a failed super-soldier experiment. Steve shatters the cell lock, then the chair’s restraints. He approaches the vacant-eyed captive, voice soft: “Are you okay? My name is Steve, and I’m here to help.”
