The Ends Of The Earth

chapter eighteen- broken down

Liza sat tied tightly to a metal chair. Her kidnapper had done quite a lot of research on her and knew she would need stronger restraints to keep her held down.

"So little sis....how's mom?" The tall man asked, leaning on the back of his wooden chair. "She's dead" she sneared leaning forward only to be held back by the metal restraints. "Ah yes I forgot about that part. And you watched her die am I right?"

"Yes" she said harshly glaring at the man. "You must be wondering who I am. I'm Ash you're older brother" he informed. "I thought I didn't have siblings" Liza spoke confused.

She thought that maybe hydra had wiped the memory of her brother but that wouldn't explain why he kidnapped her. None of this made any sense. And that's definitely not how a good brother would act.

"Caroline had me first but then she decided she didn't want me after six years of raising me so then I was put up for adoption" the dark haired boy's face turned into a look of disgust. "And then right after she got rid of me she had you"

"What made you so special?" He asked tilting his head. "Is it because of those nifty powers you have? Or is it because I wasn't good enough for her?" Her angered brother asked.

"I'm gonna go with the second one" Liza quipped. Quickly, he walked up to her with furry filled steps and punched her in the jaw. Liza rose her head back up and chuckled as she shook her head. "You hit like a bitch" she seathed, red blood staining her teeth.

He repeated the same thing again and punched her in the nose this time. A loud crunch was heard and a groan admitted into the air. A large grin formed on Ash's face.

"Still hit like a bitch?" He asked smugly. "Yep" she smirked, blood poured from her broken nose onto her lips and chin. He turned around and took a deep breath of air, trying to stop himself from killing the girl too soon. Ash turned around and kicked Liza in the ribs. The metal chair which was attatched to the floor shook but stayed put.

Liza coughed up blood from the very powerful kick. Liza lied when she said Ash hit like a bitch because he definitely didn't. Liza just wanted to get on his nerves which probably isn't the best time for her to do so.

Ash smirked at the pain he caused her. Happy she got to feel what he felt. The physical and mental abuse he felt while he was in foster care. He had been through several foster houses before. Each house got crapier everytime they moved him. And each time they got more violent towards him.

Liza knew something was off with him once he first hit her. He wasn't normal, his DNA had been altered like her's was. He was strong like she was, he was faster like she was.

"Let me tell you a little family secret, Liza" he drawn out. "Those healing powers of yours aren't natural. You didn't just get them"

"What do you mean?" She asked, her eyebrows furrowed. Clint had told her differently. That she must of had them her whole life before she could actually use them. "You remember that place in your mom's house where you weren't allowed to go in?" He asked slowly getting to his point. "Yeah...."

"That's Caroline's lab. Your mom was a scientist working for an organization called sheild before she died. We were her experiments" ash rose his open hand into the air and orange mist appeared. "Like you, I have powers aswell"

"What can you do?" She asked. Her pupils dilated and she suddenly became fascinated with his powers. She moved her head forward to try and get closer to the orange mist.

He closed his hand and the color vanished. Her eyes went back to normal, she shook her head to try and clear her thoughts. "I can control the mind" he answered proudly.
