The clock struck 3:00pm on the dot and Bucky took in a sharp inhale. Everyone braced themselves as they hear the faint clunking of the elevator. Bucky felt his insides clench up. The clunking noise became louder. There was a loud BANG and everyone jumped up, startled. "Sorry!" called Tony. What ever he was tinkering with had blown up, his hands were shaking too bad.

 To say everyone was nervous was an understatement. Half of them were terrified, including Sam, Bruce and Scott (who unwillingly decided to stop by for a visit, only to be told that an assassin was going to be dropped off in the compound today.) and the other half consisted of people appearing to be calm but was actually quite nervous.

The elevator opened with a DING.

Everyone immediately turned to get a good look at (Y/N), but their view was obstructed by a dozen STRIKE team members, all clad in black. They were all surrounding the glass cage, almost exactly identical to the one Bucky was held in. 

(Y/N)'s eyes darted around curiously, taking it all in. One of the STRIKE team members said something into his radio. He opened the front of the cage and went inside with a key in his hand. (Y/N) looked furious.

"ключ? вот что удерживало меня в этом кресле? не какая-то наука или магия! She said indignantly

( A key? Thats what kept me in this chair? Not some kind of science or magic!)

He walked over, but before unlocking her from the chair, he put a new set of cuffs on her, designed by Tony. They would 'apparently' take away her powers. He didn't have a lot of time to test them. He then finally unlocked the  cuffs that were attached to the chair. She gave him an unfriendly smile, although he could not see this as the bottom half of the mask was still on her face. The edge of it was jagged, you could see where they had broken it off.

The guard quickly left the cage not wanting to be in there with her. He then looked at the other Avengers, who at this point had all stood up in a facing the cage. The STRIKE team members filed out. The one who unlocked you felt your gaze following him as the doors closed.

The all stood there in anticipation. (Y/N) stood up and slowly left the cage, stretching her muscles. Her legs almost buckled beneath her, after not being used for 5 days. She surprisingly wasn't hungry either. She looked at each Avenger in turn making eye contact as if to challenge them. Even Natasha shifted uncomfortably under her gaze. Her eyes met with Bucky's and he held his breath. 

Her hands moved to reach up to her face, but before she had gotten even half way there. Tony had created 6 different kind of weapons, all produced from his suit. She heard them power up with blue light and she froze. She looked at him and rolled her eyes. She continued to reach up for her mask and unclipped it, it fell off her face.

Everyone was taken aback at how young she was. She looked as if she was 19. Maybe even younger. "Relax" She said. "I'm not going to do anything." She continued. "Remember?" she said patronisingly holding up her wrist with the cuff on it.

"Y-You can speak English?" Steve stuttered, catching off guard.

"Your deduction skills amaze me" She said shortly. She turned back to the others waiting for an explanation. "Well?" She said impatiently. "You didn't bring me here just so I could stretch my legs."

Steve, regaining his composure, began, "Your right, we didn't. We've decided that your powers would be a great asset to the team. You will join us on missions, and will be monitored for a 3 month period to decide what will happen to you." He finished
