Once, on a mission, Cougar had been captured. They had tortured him for information that never came. Broken fingers, bloodied skin, but what Cougar remembers is the waterboarding. It's that sense memory that drags him back when water fills his eyes, lungs, and mouth. All of a sudden, he's back in Iran and the Losers are coming to get him.

His whole body is suspended in water this time and when he looks up, there's a glint of light. No one is holding him down and there's something beneath him pushing him upwards. Kicking strongly, he makes the surface and crawls out of the well.

He uses his grip on the stones to find his footing, searching around him as the water drips to the ground. There's nothing familiar around. Worse than that, there's nothing familiar on his person. No gun. No hat.

Cougar's already a very unhappy man.
