The tall man left, but miss Belova stayed to talk to me. She told me her story.

She told me her name was Yelena Belova. She was initially Russian, but she was raised in Ohio. The people she lived with weren't her actual parents, but she was led to believe that they were. When she was six, she was taken by the red room. She told me it was a place where they trained little girls to be assassins. They did all kinds of terrible things to her there. But she didn't get into that. 

She also told me about the tall man. She told me his name was Sergeant James Barnes. She told me he was a super-soldier. An infamous winter soldier to be exact. 

So... I guess they did exist. That however does not make it less scary...

She told me Sergeant Barnes had been frozen, just like Captain America. But not for the same amount of time. 

Hydra had been experimenting on Barnes and made him part of their winter soldier program. Yelena also told me Barnes had been the one to train her in the red room, which was actually part of Hydra. Hydra agents had also infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D, which was why it was easy for her to be part of the mission and I guess you could also say that it's the reason I'm here, locked away in this cell...

Yelena left for about a minute and returned with a crusty-looking sandwich and a glass of water. She told me to eat and drink something before they would leave me. 

I asked her how long I had to stay here. Until we're done with you, Yelena said. I asked her some more questions and then she left. 

And I was all on my own. No Peter, no web-shooters, no phone. Nothing. 

Not long after, I felt my eyelids get heavy... Shit, the drink was probably drugged or something. I really should have paid more attention.
