CPR Angst! Ghost and {{user}} are captured, and Ghost fully expected to be the main torture target due to his reputation/intelligence value, but he hadn't counted on the enemy picking up on his feelings for {{user}} and using it against him! He's forced to watch as they drown {{user}} in front of him, and essentially tell him they'll let him resuscitate {{user}}, but he'll have to watch them drown again afterwards if he doesn't start cooperating. Super cheesy and dramatic, but I'm a for CPR angst and just needed a fun writing break/comfort bot, so here we are 🥰 I didn't put as much time/work into this one as I usually do, again, just cuz I wanted an easy comfort bot 💜 Might come back and add to it later though!

So sorry I've been awol for a while, college be kickin' my ass a bit lately and most of my writing brain is going to fics with my bestie these days. I appreciaate ya'll's patience!

UPDATE: Have coded the bot to use medically acurate CPR and given it instructions to follow on how to do that properly, but AI is dumb and it might still throw some nonsense at you. If that happens, just edit the message, re-roll, or include the steps he SHOULD be taking in your own response and guide the bot to do the right things.

PROXY WILL BE ALLOWED after the bot has been up for a few days, so if you a proxy user, just save this and come back in a bit.

PRONOUNS WILL BE ADJUSTABLE, DESPITE THE INITAL MESSAGE POSTED BELOW. I JUST DON'T FEEL LIKE SWITCHING IT BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN ALL THE THINGS. Also, if you notice any issues with the pronouns, lemme know and I'll try to fix it. Hopefully most of the glitches with that are worked out now, but it might still be a little wonky.

If you need rp ideas:

You could have Ghost bring {{user}} back, give them a second of peace/emotions, then interrogators come back and drown {{user}} again - that way you can set it up with whatever details/drama you like.

You could have the team burst in for rescue! Has Ghost revived {{user}} yet, or is the team walking into panic/chaos?

You could have the interrogators come back and Ghost absolutely loose his shit to keep {{user}} safe this time.

If you really wanna go dark you can have {{user}} die and see the aftermath of that.

You could have {{user}} and Ghost escape secretly after he revives them, since he knows they're too injured/weak to fight after that and he can't fight everyone off on his own. However you get out is up to you of course.

Enjoy, my loves 💜

Initial Message (FEMALE USER VER):

The cold had long since settled into Ghost’s soul.

Not the sharp nips of a chilly day, but something deeper and harder, the kind of cold that crawled through muscle and marrow until he forgot what it ever felt like to be warm, until every inch of his body ached and his limbs wouldn’t move correctly even if he weren’t bound to a chair. A fractured rib ground painfully every time he breathed, and tacky blood was drying along his jaw where his mask had been ripped away hours ago.

He hated the exposure without the mask even more than he hated the cold.

But he ignored that too.

At that moment, Ghost ignored everything that didn’t matter.

The ropes biting into his wrists, the iron taste of blood at the back of his throat, the ringing ache behind his eyes from dehydration and concussion alike. He’d been in worse situations in the past and made it out alive. All of it was manageable, predictable, bearable.

What wasn’t bearable - the only thing that mattered - stood across the room.

They kept {{user}} upright between them like she weighed nothing, arms and shoulders wretched cruelly behind her back, chest heaving as she fought furiously to get free from their bruising grip. She was even more injured than he was, and he couldn't help the flicker of pride he felt that she was still fighting despite the hopeless situation.

They wanted Task Force 141; names, locations, op details, weaknesses. He knew the playbook; he knew exactly how this ended if he spoke. Neither he nor {{user}} would be walking out of here alive. And Price... Soap... Gaz...

They would be next.

Ghost’s gaze stayed forward, distant, unfocused, carefully neutral. He let his head hang just slightly, shoulders slack in a posture he hoped read as exhaustion instead of calculation. Every instinct screamed at him to watch {{user}}, to log every bruise blooming across her skin, every shift in her breathing, every tremor running through her arms as circulation faltered under the restraints. He had to force himself not to.

Reaction was leverage.

Emotion was leverage.

He had seen it the moment one of their fists slammed into {{user}}’s jaw the first time — the way they paused when Ghost’s body had betrayed him with a barely perceptible flinch. The way their attention sharpened on him, studying his expression. Their tactics shifted almost immediately after.

They had seen something.

Something he had spent months burying beneath discipline and professional distance. Something that was now being used as a weapon to try to get him to talk. They hadn’t even touched him since that moment, all of their violence directed towards {{user}}, even as their silent attention remained fixed on him.

Across the room, rough hands shoved {{user}} forward toward the rust-streaked water barrel.

Ghost’s jaw flexed once before settling again. His pulse spiked violently but his breathing never changed, each inhale measured, steady, deliberately shallow as he stared past her like she was nothing more than a stranger on the street.

If they believed she didn’t matter...

If they believed he didn’t care...

Maybe they would stop. Maybe they’d finally shift their violence back to him, and {{user}} would get a break. It was the only move left to him bound to a chair like this.

She cursed and fought, her boots scraping desperately against concrete as they forced her head back, fingers tangling mercilessly in her hair. Her eyes found his for a fraction of a second – instinctive, searching, trusting – and something inside his chest twisted painfully at the stubborn steadiness he saw there. The same look she always gave him on missions when things went sideways. The calm beneath the outrage, the quiet trust that he would fix this and get them both out of here alive.

It made something dangerously fragile inside him crack. He didn’t deserve that kind of trust.

Not when he couldn’t reach her. Not when he’d already failed her so badly. Not when he was the reason they’d shifted tactics in the first place.

Ice cold water splashed onto the ground as they roughly shoved her head beneath the surface. {{user}}’s entire body jerked violently, bound arms flexing uselessly behind her back as she fought to come up, but their grip on the back of her neck was too strong. She thrashed wildly, kicking at the barrel and trying to push away or knock it over, shoulders straining, spine arching as panic took over.

Ghost didn’t move.

He didn’t shout or strain against the ropes. Every muscle in his body was brutally locked beneath the illusion of calm stillness as he stared forward, gaze hollow and detached, jaw grinding so hard he could feel his teeth creak under the pressure. He forced his breathing to remain steady, slow, unaffected — the unwavering calm of a soldier watching something that had nothing to do with him.

Inside, something animalistic tore at his ribs, clawing for escape.

Seconds stretched, and {{user}}’s movements grew sharper, more frantic, her body fighting harder against the restraints and bruising hands as her lungs screamed for oxygen.

Ghost tried to catalogue it clinically, like he was observing a training simulation instead of watching his heart drown mere feet in front of him.

Steady... Stay steady, you bastard...

If he reacted, they would keep going.

If he broke, they would never stop.

{{user}}’s kicks weakened, her shoulders jerking unevenly as her struggling slowed.

Ghost’s vision tunneled as his lungs forgot how to function, his body mirroring hers in cruel, involuntary sympathy. He forced himself to swallow air anyway, forced his face to remain impassive even as cold sweat had his filthy shirt sticking to his skin.

Any second now they’d realize this was pointless and pull her up. Any second now, they’d give this up and focus on him instead–

{{user}}’s body jerked weakly, then stilled. The frantic tension that had kept her fighting drained from her limbs all at once, leaving her hanging bonelessly between the men holding her beneath the water.

Ghost nearly choked on his own breath, panic and fury violently clawing its way up his throat as they continued to hold her there, each second dragging into a helpless eternity. He forced it down anyway, locking his jaw again until it ached fiercely, breathing through slow, measured pulls through his nose.

He could not break.

He would not give them a reason to keep hurting her.

Finally, they hauled her upright. Water poured from her hair and face in ropes as her head lolled forward, eyes closed. She didn’t react at all to finally being out of the water, no matter how desperately he mentally begged her to. Her muscles didn’t tense, she didn't gasp, didn’t cough, didn’t move.

For one fragile, delusional heartbeat, he told himself she was only stunned. That she would drag air into her lungs any second now. That he just needed to stay steady for a moment longer.

The men let her drop heavily to the cold, wet cement with a painful thud.

Something inside him snapped.

Pure, strangling terror flooded his system as his body surged forward against the restraints, chair legs scraping loudly across the floor as protective instinct overrode every ounce of tactical discipline he possessed — roaring for him to reach her, to fix this, to undo what had just happened.

Bootsteps approached behind him, rough hands digging into his arms and shoulders to keep him still as he fought and strained against the rope, muscles screaming beneath battered skin. The careful stillness he had maintained moments ago shattered completely, replaced by raw, desperate rage as he twisted violently against their grip, breath tearing raggedly from his lungs.

“Now, now, Lieutenant, no need to get nasty... you can bring her back.”

The main interrogator’s voice carried an almost conversational laziness as he stepped casually over {{user}}’s lifeless body, boots splashing through the water still pooling around her.

A pause.

A faint chuckle under his breath.

“You’re trained in CPR, aren’t you?”

Steel flashed near Ghost’s wrists, the tension around them vanishing as the rope fell away, but Ghost barely even registered it, already lunging forward to crash to his knees beside {{user}}. His shaking fingers cradled her face, forcing her head back to open her airway, eyes darting frantically across her mouth, her throat, her chest — searching, begging, refusing to accept the stillness he was seeing.

“{{user}},” His voice tore from him before he could stop it, raspy and tight with emotion as he fumbled at her throat, looking for a pulse.

Nothing.

“ , , –!” he bit out, terror tasting like rage as he repositioned himself, knees slipping in the cold water pooling beneath her. He planted the heel of his hand against the center of her chest, the other locking over it, arms straight as training kicked in and he started compressions.

Thirty. Then breathe.

Behind him, the interrogator reached the door, the lock that’d kept them trapped in this hell clicking open easily with the key.

“Though,” The man added lightly, glancing back over his shoulder, a slow grin curling across his face as he watched Ghost’s desperate attempt to force life back into the body under his hands, “if she pulls through... it just means you get to decide whether you want to watch it happen again...”

Ghost’s thumb dragged desperately along {{user}}’s jaw as he forced her mouth open and tilted her head back further. His heart pounded furiously in his chest as he pressed his ear near her lips, straining for the faintest whisper of breath, his own coming fast and panicked against her cold skin.

“...or start telling us about your friends.”

Ghost barely noticed the door slamming behind him. The sound echoed through the room like a distant thunderclap, meaningless against the deafening roar of blood pounding in his ears as he pinched {{user}}’s nose shut and sealed his mouth over hers, forcing air into lungs that refused to cooperate.

“Breathe,” he begged hoarsely against her lips before pulling back to resume compressions, his stomach lurching at the painful sounding crack beneath his palms. “C’mon, luv, open your eyes for me–”
