I wake up to complete darkness. There is no other sound than that of my shallow breaths and fast heartbeat. I try to sit up, but that just ends up in me hitting my head on the roof of the box. I lay back down and try to bring my hands to where I hit my head, but the box is so small that I can't. I start panicking - I have really never been good in small spaces.
Calm down, I tell myself, you can get out of this. I close my eyes and think about the box, well it actually feels more like a metal coffin than a box really, ether way I imagine it bursting into thousands of little pixels. Then I place my hands on the floor of the box, where I am laying right now, and run the scene of the box bursting into pixels over and over again in my mind.
Nothing is happening.
Now is the time to panic.
Usually this works, why isn't this working?! Did they take my gift away from me? Where am I anyway? Are they going to hurt me? What about Wanda and Pietro? Did they capture them too? Are they safe? Are they trying to find me?
As hundreds upon hundreds of questions flood though my head stressing me out even more - almost to the point of hyperventilating - I hear someone open the lid of the box. What seems like a dozen more voices follow that sound.
"Is she awake?"
"Do you really want to know?"
"How do we know that she isn't going to kill us all?"
"She won't."
"How do you-"
"I said she won't."
I sit up from the coffin-like-box, happy to be out of the dark. "Where am I?" I ask quietly, hoping to come off menacing, but just sounding like I am scared out of my wits.
"We can't tell you that." A woman answers. I notice that she is the same woman that attacked me along with the two other men. Were they going to kill me?
I don't see why not, I was the first one to attack them.
I sigh and clench my fists as I realize my fate. I can't let them see me cry.
But I didn't even get to say goodbye.
"We aren't going to hurt you." Another man says with black hair, glasses, and a purple button up shirt. "I mean, I don't think we are," he turns to the woman with red hair, "Right?"
"No," she responds, this time looking at the man with the glasses and not at me, "not unless we have to."
"We do have to ask you some questions though, if you can handle that." says a man behind me. I turn to see he is wearing a t-shirt that says Stark Industries on it.
Stark... I know that name.
It was the word painted on the bomb shell that landed not three feet from my face inside my house.
"Are- are you the owner of that company?" I ask the man. He nods with a half smile half smirk on his face. I have never felt more rage than right at that moment. I wanted to kill him so badly, the worst part was that he was smiling at me when he nodded, like it was something to be proud of. Well, for him it probably was - a successful company - that's all it was to him. He had no clue how much pain and suffering he had put me into along with those mere twenty survivors from my hometown. Twenty people! That was all that was left of my home. Well, that and a little doll with her hair in a bun and a dirty blue dress.
I charged forward, I don't even know where my pixels came from, I just knew that I wanted him dead. The pixels were thrown at him, launching him into a wall. The wall even had a dent in it once he fell off of it. I gave a small smile as I watched him gasp for air. There was blood flowing down his arm, staining his shirt. That's when I snapped out of it.
What was I doing? I don't hurt people, at least not that much. I only would hurt someone if they were an immediate threat and he wasn't. I took a step forward, hoping it wasn't too late for an apology, I would do anything to make this better. But it was too late, everyone was grabing weapons, ready to aim and fire them at me.
"Wait, please! I didn't mean to, I don't know what came over me! I am not that kind person I swear!" although I did still want to get revenge for my mother and father and everyone else in my town I didn't want to actually kill anyone. Or did I? I felt such a rush when I- wait, no, what am I thinking what is wrong with me!
I am suddenly pushed to the floor where someone injects me with something and I immediately black out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wake up on a small cot in a room that has only glass walls, thank God it wasn't that stupid box again. As I sit up I feel a certain heavy weight against my wrists. Looking down, I see two metal cuffs that go from my wrists to half way from my elbow.
This better not be another one of those things that I can't get off. But something strange happens, when I try to turn them into pixels it feels like someone had heated up the cuff red hot and then put them on me. I scream at the top of my lungs as I try to claw the cuffs off. After about a few minutes the pain goes away - that's when the Captian comes in with the woman with red hair.
"Your awake." She says in the most monotone voice I have ever heard. I don't have the heart to answer her as they both stop in front of the glass room.
"What are these?" I ask instead.
"Cuffs, so you won't use your powers again. Tony made those out of the lining of the box you were in. It's Vibrainium, that seems to be your only weakness, so far." She answers in the same voice.
"I won't be able to use my gift ever again?" I ask, hoping they didn't sense the fear in my voice.
"No, once you take them off you can use it again." Cap says.
The woman glares at him, I am guessing he wasn't supposed to tell me that. I give a half smile at how much the two reminds me of Wanda and Pietro. The only difference is that Pietro is way more full of himself.
The woman takes a deep sigh before saying, "We need to ask you a few questions."
I nod my head before she continues, "Is there anyway that you can communicate with your sister or brother at this very moment."
"No." I say bluntly.
"Ok, do you know where they are or could be headed right now."
"No." I try to say with the same voice.
"Your lying."
"You think I am going to tell you where they are so you can go and capture them?" I say with a tone of anger in my voice.
"Well, you should tell us. There are other people out there that want to test on them, on you. If they get to them before we do, they won't be as nice."
"You think this is nice?" I say hold up my wrists, showing off the cuffs.
"It's a security measure."
"If you would just let me explain my-" I am suddenly cut off by Tony walking in.
"Uh, Jarvis just alerted me that we have two people who forced entered through the lobby downstairs. By the looks of it they are you-know-who's brother and sister." I immediately sit up straighter in the cot, they are coming for me! Cap takes a last glance at me before he follows the woman with the red hair out the door.
