[John wakes hacking up blood a minute or two after Bucky finishes tying him up. His entire face hurts, his throat is raw, the back of his thigh is on fire and... probably going to leave a lovely stain on his jeans for the blood, and there's a stench of rotting flesh. The doctor takes a second or two to gasp and get his coughing under control before looking up at Bucky.
That arm earns a sympathetic wince, but it doesn't last long as John's eyes slide to the other man's face. John's expression hardens, and then he just drops his eyes to Bucky's midsection, not saying a word. Silence. It's the first tactic in resisting interrogation. John's used to sitting in silence. He'd done it enough with Sherlock.]
