 JACKS PAST:

Darkness, loneliness, and pain the only things I knew. My dad, Brock Rumlow, gave me to Hydra right after born. Ever since then I have been experimented on and I never saw the light of day or had fun. I lived in a small 10 by 10 square foot room. The walls were a dark grey, mossy stone with chains on the walls next to a silvery, metal chair that they would do experiments on me. Next to the chair was a small cot with blood stains on the front of the wall there is rusted bars keeping me the enclosure. There also is a small hole in the floor made for a toilet. My father visits me every month to see how I am doing. Every 2 weeks I got a small meal if I behaved and every day I got a small bucket of water for the day. The doctors were always nice to me, but I never trusted them because they hurt me and would restrain me as the put unknown substances in my body. I am unsure if I have powers or not yet, but I do know that they are trying to give me powers.

JACKS POV:

All of the sudden I jump because of a loud ringing that sounded like a tornado siren. "What the hell" I muffled to myself as I hear screams and gun fire. I was too weak to stand due to the fact that the doctors were going to be doing a procedure today and I hadn't eaten in 3 weeks and the last time I had water was 3 days ago.

Suddenly, 3 doctors and at least 10 guards came to my room. The guards opened the bars and the doctors came in to prep me. I saw a huge number of tools and extra restraints. The guards formed a wall infant of the bars and one of the guards picked my limp body up off the cot and put me on the chair. He then strapped me in and put the extra restraints on my upper arms and legs. Then he stood, inside the room, with his gun ready to fire and in a stance ready to fight.

I felt pain and the gunfire got louder and louder and I saw the guards get picked up with a red glow and others fall to the floor. The guard in the room was the last guard standing and the doctors were rushing to finish. That's when is saw a blur of 2 women. On stated, "It's over," and I couldn't hear the rest, but it sounded like a name. Then the guard and doctors fell to the ground with a red glow over them and the bars swung open, and the women ran to me. I started to feel dizzy and then I saw black.

When I woke up, I saw the same two women that had beaten the guards' asses and two men. One had dark brown hair and a cleanly shaved goatee and was wearing a nice suit, the other one and brown hair with some grey hair with a lab coat and glasses on. I looked at my feet and I saw restraints and I started to panic and that's when the figures in the room realized.

The women with long brownish, red hair walk towards me "Hey, we aren't going to hurt you, you're safe now" She was surprisingly calm and nice unlike anyone I have known in my life. She then introduces herself, "My names Wanda, what's yours sweetie?" I mumble "Jack" "What" The other lady, with shorter bright red hair, calmly says, trying not to scare me. "I think she said Jack," Wanda told her, "Right." I nod my head yes. The man with glasses says, "I'm Bruce, you will need to stay here for a while. You're extremely malnourished and dehydrated." Then the other man speaks, "How long have you been at the Hydra base. Also, the name is Tony Stark," He seemed like he was worried but had to hide it. The other lady then asked the men to leave, and they didn't hesitate to follow her orders.

"I'm Natasha but everyone calls me Nat. I thought it would be best if they left. My guess is that you are pretty scared and uncomfortable with more people" She was right. They scared me but I couldn't show my fears to these strangers. I couldn't show anyone my fear, people prey on fear. "You can talk to us, okay, I'm not going to leave you and I'm going to keep safe from everything including Hydra." She sat down on a chair next to me. What was wrong with Hydra I thought it was saving the world. I could tell that they could see the confusion on my face. "I've lived there my whole life." I mumble. They look at each other than look back at me. "You lived there your whole life." Nat says shocked and concerned. "Did they kidnap you" Wanda questions. I shake my head no to Wanda's question.

"Well then how did you live in Hydra your whole life?" a new girl says entering the room. She has light blonde hair and was wearing a graphic tee with jeans and a leather jacket and flannel on her waist. "I'm Carol by the way." I look at her for a second then look back down at my hands. They still had the restraints on me. "We have to earn your trust first, so how did you end up in Hydra if they didn't kidnap you?" Wanda said almost like she could read my mind. "I, I, um, my dad." I say quietly and quickly. "Who is your Dad?" Natasha asked to know they had gotten somewhere finally. "Rumlow, well that's my last name so I think that's what his last name is, too." That was the first time I had talked normally since I was in the strange room. Then, abruptly Nat got up and left, followed with Carol, but Wanda didn't leave, she stayed with me making sure I was safe like she promised.
