[Yes, it is a worryingly specific question, and leaves Nida with a bad taste in his mouth. It feels like the sort of question that comes from having been through a situation. Or having heard about it. And the idea of it makes Nida bristle. If he ever heard of a place doing that, he'd do his best to shut it down.
Unless, of course he learned that the Natasha he'd met was a product of such a place. And then he'd do his best and die trying. He'd met Natasha only a handful of times, and he'd developed a healthy respect for how dangerous she was with every single movement she made.]
No, there wasn't anything like that. Detention could be hell if you broke some rules, but not the sorta hell you seem to be thinking? We were soldiers. Soldier's aren't very good, even trained from that age, if you do that to them.
[Oh how wrong he is. But there is a bit of hope in his voice, as if he's asking Clint to tell him that isn't something that actually happened to someone.]
