Double Life

Set Fire To The Rain

"but there's a side to you
that i never knew, never knew
all the things you'd say
they were never true, never true
and the games you'd play
you would always win, always win

but i set fire to the rain
watched it pour as i touched your face
well, it burned while i cried
cause i heard it screaming out your name
your name"

Steve, Carol, Clint, and Nat came in all asking what happened at the same time. No one had any answers. Iris was passed out and Wanda was MIA. Pietro had left to go find Wanda so they were left to ponder. The three people who could possibly help, couldn't. Tony had an idea, "How old was Iris when she found out about her parents?"

"Around 14, maybe 15. She hacked into my stuff all the time, I couldn't keep up. I changed my passwords all the time, too. She was always 2 steps ahead." Fury replied.

"Well that didn't help." Tony said.

"Why did she always hack in? What was so important to her that she felt she needed to?" Clint asked.

"No idea. She was curious about her parents, of course, but there's not much else I can think of that she would need or want to know about." Fury replied.

Before Clint could say anything else, Iris began to regain consciousness. Steve noticed and got everyone else's attention and they came over to her bedside, "Ow." Iris complained.

The other Avengers were called down as Iris woke up more, Wanda and Pietro in the back. Fury came over and sat down by Iris, "How are you feeling?"

"Like I was just tortured for three days." She looked around, "Can someone get me some water?"

"Already got it." Steve said, handing her a glass. A few people exchanged looks knowing what the coming conversation was going to be like.

The room was quiet for a minute and then Iris noticed everyone's looks, "What's wrong?" No one answered her, "Hello? What's wrong?"

"What actually happened that day in Sokovia?" Tony asked and Iris looked at him.

"What are you talking about? I told you what happened." Iris responded.

"No you didn't." Wanda said, walking over from the back of the room.

Iris laughed a little, "Yes, I did. I don't know what you guys are talking about and why you guys don't trust me but I told you what I know and that should be enough."

Wanda exchanged a look with Pietro and he walked over, "How are we supposed to trust you when you..." He hesitated, "When you never told the truth about the bridge either?"

"Stop. You promised you wouldn't tell anyone. You can't break that." Iris warned, starting to take off the things that were hooked up to her.

"Iris-" Pietro started, but she had already started to walk out.

"FRIDAY, lockdown the lab." Tony announced. Quickly, the doors locked and there was no way to get out of the lab.

"Stop. Just let me go. I need some air." Iris said, turning around.

"You know we can't do that, Iris." Wanda said, "I'm sorry."

Iris looked at all of her friends and family around her, who locked her into this lab to what? Run tests? Gather useless information? Get the truth about things they had no understanding of? Iris felt betrayed, "Listen, just let me out. Please. I don't have any answers to any problems you may have."
