(I took some liberties. There are some countries here that may not have been present in comic!anon’s fill)
The first thing Arthur Kirkland wondered when he woke up was what the hell had happened. The second thing was to determine why he couldn’t move his arms or legs. He tried to shift his weight onto his back. He heard a small clang.
So he was chained up. He tried to look around to see where he was, but it was too dark. He could see the outline of stairs and a table. Was he locked in some sort of basement?
He heard shuffling to his right and froze, listening closely.
“Hello?” A familiar voice asked. “Is someone there?”
“Kiku?” Arthur asked in reply. “Arthur-san?” Kiku asked, sounding almost relieved. “You two are here, too?-aru?” Yao’s unmistakable voice rang from the far left of the room.
Whispering.
Francis, Ludwig, Gilbert, and the Vargas brothers were here, too, based on the voices.
“It seems we are in quite a predicament, da?”
Despite the fact that Ivan sounded as cheery as he normally did, there was some unease behind his voice that did not comfort anyone there.
“Where are we?” Roderich wondered aloud. “That’s what I’d like to know.” Romano scoffed. “Where were we originally?” Feliciano asked Ludwig. “Somewhere in Nevada, I believe.” Was Ludwig’s reply. “America invited us.” “Where is he, anyway?” Gilbert demanded.
This, more than anything, bothered Arthur the most. It seemed that Alfred had learned his lesson and had shown that he had. The economy was improving. Things were going well enough in Iraq that it almost seemed like Alfred was prepared to leave.
And things had been going so well between the two of them for the past few months. So much that Arthur had began to hope that maybe, just maybe, he’d be able to tell him the truth and not worry about a painful rejection.
And now they’d been kidnapped by some lunatic and he had no way of knowing where Alfred was or if he was alright.
“You’re worried about Alfred-san, aren’t you, Arthur-san?” Kiku asked suddenly.
Arthur shifted his head. Now that his eyes had adjusted to the dark, he could see that Kiku was chained to a chair and was observing him calmly.
Their alliance had been brief, but Kiku had learned how to read Arthur like a book. He’d never told Kiku about his feelings for Alfred, but he suspected that the other knew. It was kind of awkward because there were times when Arthur got the impression that Kiku might have his own feelings for one of them, considering how they were the only two that he referred to by their human names. He could never tell, though.
Quietly, he whispered,
“Am I that easy to read?” “Hohoh! Is that a confession, Angelterre?” The obnoxious voice of Francis sang.
Arthur froze. He hadn’t noticed that the others had stopped talking.
“That’s none of your business, wine-face!” He protested loudly. “But is it true?” Roderich asked.
Arthur felt his face turn red as he tried to think of a way to change the subject.
“I believe in him.” He declared finally. “If he’s not being held somewhere else, I believe that he will come for us.”
“He does have that hero complex.” "He'll do anything as long as you convince him he's doing the right thing."
A few of them laughed. Arthur noticed that Kiku was being rather quiet, even for him.
"Something wrong?" He asked. "No." Kiku replied, but the blunt reply didn't convince Arthur. "He'll come." He tried to reassure him. "That burger-loving git would fight through hell to come for us."
That was the last bit of lightheartedness before it happened.

Erm... This anon knows that rape was part of the original prompt, but unfortunately she wasn't actually planning on having Alfred rape the others. He is, however, going to do the following (not exactly in this order): 1. Call them out on what they did to them. 2. Call them out on their own flaws. 3. Inflict some injuries. 4. Inflict psychological trauma. 5. Cause massive guilt trips. 6. Basically scare the crap out of everyone.

Oh. But it's even more wonderful then! I'm not an Americanfag, but seeing what they did to him in this comic really, really pained me. So this fill is something like recompense for me (;
I love how everyone really has no idea how Alfred is and how they really have no idea what's coming.
The idea of Arthur thinking that at one point, maybe he can confess to Alfred without a cruel rejection because of what we did and that he actually cares just rips my heart in two. )8;; One part of me says I should keep to what my fill advocated, but some part of me really wants a happy ending OTL;;;. Or well, a happy ending for everyone, but yeah.
:D But I'm really excited to see more! I am kinda excited to see what Alfred will do. The guilt tripping sounds really interesting! Great job, Anon! ♥
Anon will do her best! While that comic is a guilty pleasure, I'm still pretty pissed at the others.
I suppose they have this belief that "Come on, it's America. Like he'd ever do something like this!"...
They're in for a nasty surprise.
If Arthur were to confess at this point, I suspect Alfred would respond like Rena in Higurashi: Loudly accusing him of lying. Whether or not I can give this a happy ending is still open to debate.
I don't have everyone's punishments in mind yet, but the ones I do have are surprisingly cruel. O_O

Everyone’s heads flipped to the table. There had been so little movement that none of them had noticed that someone was sitting there.
The voice was familiar enough to send a chill through Arthur’s spine, and when the figure raised his arm to flick the lights on, he was almost not surprised to see that it was Alfred.
He was sitting in the chair with an odd look on his face. His gaze moved around the room, giving his fellow Nations a glance before settling on Arthur and Kiku. His eyes seemed to narrow in an expression that none of them had ever seen before.
Kiku himself wasn’t sure if his involuntary shudder was out of anticipation or fear.
Francis huffed, and Alfred’s eyes moved to him.
“Well, speak of the devil!” Francis seemed to chuckle. “You’re already here!” “I’ve been here.” Alfred said calmly. “I’ve been waiting for you to wake up.”
“Well, we’re awake.” Romano scoffed. “Now hurry and figure out how to get us out of these chains, dammit!” “No.”
The reply caused the whole room to go silent, but only for a moment.
“What did you say?” Romano demanded. “You heard me.” Alfred replied.
“Why the hell not!?” Gilbert demanded, furious. “In case you haven’t noticed, we’re being held captive by some lunatic! Unless you’re chained to that chair of yours, get up and get us out of here!”
Alfred gave Gilbert a puzzled look. Then he gazed at the others with the same disbelieving look.
“You…” He began. “You really don’t understand what’s going on, do you?” “What do you mean?” Ludwig asked, his tone slightly uneasy.
Alfred sighed in irritation and leaned back in his chair.
“Tell me, what’s the last thing you remember before you passed out?” He asked.
Everyone paused and searched through their memories.
Alfred had invited them to Las Vegas for a couple days. Things had gone smoothly. He’d greeted them with his trademark smile.
The Italy and German brothers last recalled eating dinner. Roderich had joined them. Ivan had been drinking alone in his room. Arthur had greeted the others before going to meet Alfred.
And then… nothing.
“What does this have to do with you not trying to get us out of here?” Mathias asked impatiently.
Alfred sighed again, more irritated than before.
“Not very bright, are we?” He said, sounding almost bored. “Then again… maybe the taser was set too high and it fried your brain.”
“What taser!?” Arthur demanded, trying to lift his head.
Alfred pulled something out of his pocket and held it up for them to see. It looked like a gun with two tiny metal rods sticking out of the barrel.
“Where did you get that-aru?” Yao asked in a tone that suggested that he didn’t want to know the answer.
Alfred slammed the taser on the table and stood up.
“You still don’t get it, do you?” He asked as he walked over to where Yao was chained to the wall. “Let me ask you something.”
He leaned in so that their faces were only inches apart.
“Has it not occurred to you that maybe I’m not helping you escape because I’m the one who brought you here in the first place?”
Everyone fell silent as it sunk in. It was rather shocking, to say the least. America was always going on about how he was a hero. Obviously, heroes didn’t abduct people and chain them up. Kiku was the only one who didn’t look too terribly surprised.

“Why would you…” Yao began, trying to understand what was going on. “Take a guess, jackass!” Alfred scoffed. “Flashback: Six months ago. Ring any bells?”
Yao opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out. He wasn’t the only one.
“That was…” “We…” “You…”
“I’m listening.” Alfred turned away from Yao to face the others. “If you can come up with even one reasonable justification for your actions, I’ll let you go right now and we can forget this entire incident.”
“The whole mess was your fault!” Romano said before anyone else could say anything.
Alfred turned his glare to him. Romano flinched.
“Really? The entire recession was completely and utterly my fault?” He asked. “Just little old me?” “You’re the world superpower.” Ludwig scoffed. “You’re the one responsible for most of the world spending.” “And that’s grounds for rape…how?” Alfred asked.
“It was the only way for you to learn-aru!” Yao protested. “It was the only way for you to get it through your thick skull how serious the crisis was!” “Mass layoffs, inflation, and various other economic problems wouldn’t have shown me?”
“It was the only way to give you incentive to fix it, America-kun.” Ivan spoke calmly. “If I recall, we had a meeting earlier that day. One that actually entailed talking.” Alfred gave Arthur a swift glare before looking at Ivan. “After you dumped all the responsibility on me, I actually talked about what I planned to do. But then, maybe you weren’t even listening.”
“I told you that your little solution wasn’t going to fix things overnight!” Arthur shouted, furious that Alfred remembered that much.
Alfred turned to look at Arthur. The look on his face was calm, but hiding a fury that Alfred was barely trying to hold back.
“Obviously, Arthur.” He said as he stepped toward the cell holding Arthur and Kiku. “I knew that before you told me. You’re the one who seemed to want me to magically fix things overnight. You guys are the ones who decided to lash out at me like a bunch of hormone-driven teenagers. Wasn’t it you who taught me about patience, Arthur?”
No one seemed to be able to think of a response to that, not for lack of trying.
“Your brother knew about it!” Romano finally exclaimed. “Your brother knew about the plan, and he didn’t tell you! Why don’t you have him chained up!?”
Alfred turned his steely gaze to Romano.
“Matthew is already being punished. As we speak, in fact.”
This got the attention of Arthur and Francis. “What are you doing to Matthew!?”
Alfred did not appear to be listening to Francis as he walked to the cell holding Romano and Feliciano. He pulled out the keys and opened it. He grabbed Romano and Feliciano by their collars and dragged them out. He leaned Feliciano against a wall and dragged Romano across the room.
“You liked hearing me scream, did you Romano?” Alfred asked as he propped Romano up in a chair. “Well, guess what?”
The smile on Alfred’s face was positively devilish.

oh goooood, I'm going to hell. I thought I liked bottoming-America - so why is this yandere, dark, violent America turning me on so much? That last line..... *shivers happily* And now I'm all curious, what's happening to Matthew.
So, I'm not quite sure. When he dragged the Italian brothers out, does that mean the other countries can't see them anymore? Is Feliciano tied up or free? And - just six months, it's been only six months since they gangraped America? I love the bit when he's calling them out for their reaction though - and how they tried to justify it.

He dragged the Italian brothers out of their cell. They haven't left the room, so the other countries can see them. Everyone who isn't America is chained up.
Don't worry anon. If you're going to hell for enjoying this, I'm surely going to hell for writing it. As far as what's happening to Matthew, the key phrase is "did not appear to be listening". Meaning, you're about to find out.
