I woke to a loud crash sound. It sounded like glass shattering. So I jumped out of the bed and ran to look at the window. It looked fine so I hurried to the door and listened. No one was talking out in the hall. I slowly opened the door and peered out. I couldn't see anything. It was dark out there. I closed the door and walked over to the firepit. It was a little chilly in the room so I turned the fire on a little to bust out the chill.
"F.R.I.D.A.Y what was that noise?" I hoped the AI was up and running.
"Miss Ashlee, it seems that Loki has broken a vase out in the hall." The AI came back.
"What?" I walked back to the door and opened it. I walked out into the hall and looked to the left. It was dark down at the end. I looked right and saw the only other light that was visible was coming out the bottom of a door down there. I closed my door and went to the light. I think this room is Loki's. I went up to it and knocked. No answer but I saw a shadow move in the room. So I knocked again. The shadow disappeared. And the light shut off. I shook my head and walked to my room. I got my tin case out of there and walked to the elevator.
"F.R.I.D.A.Y? Is anyone up?" I asked the AI as the doors closed.
"The only others are Loki, Tony, Natasha and Bucky. Miss." The AI spoke.
I went down to the floor and I got locked out on the roof. And got out. As I walked to the door that leads out I got a weird feeling. But I shook it off and went out to smoke. It was a calm night so it was sort of peaceful. I looked at the stars and felt calm. I closed my eyes and listened to the night as I smoked my cigarette. As I finished I walked back to the door. I looked inside to see the doors to the elevator open. I swore they closed after I got out. I walked in and went up to them. They were not propped open or anything. So I just walked in and pushed the button to go down to the cage. It's probably not a good idea but I'm bored. As they opened I could hear fighting. What the hell? I rushed out and was met by a knife flying towards my head. Luckily I was able to move out of its way in time. I looked and saw Loki, Natasha and Tony in a brawl with four others. Who the hell are they? I could still see Torren was in the same spot. Good. I made my way slowly over to the panel. I am glad they are closer to the cage than here. I only looked down for a split second. I had a big ass hand come down around my throat.
"Look what we have here." The owner of the hand said, tightening his grip.
Everyone turned to see what the guy was talking about. Natashas eyes widened and Tony seemed to go a little red. Loki had a straight face. I grabbed the guy's hand and tried to pull it off my throat. With no luck. He just lifted me off the ground.
"Let me go you damn ape." I growled out at him.
He just chuckled and tightened his grip.
"Let her go now." Natasha yelled. She moved towards me and the guy moved me in front of him more. Now I was hanging against his chest, my feet not touching the floor. His hand is really tight on my neck.
"Can you not throw me around like a doll?" I growled. It sounded a little rough since I didn't have much air going in.
"Aww.. you don't like being manhandled sweetie?" He whispered in my ear.
"Gross dude" I stated trying to move my head away from him.
Torren was laughing in his cage. "She likes it rough brother. She is just putting on a show for her boy toy." Torren looked over to Loki as he spoke.
"So she is with that one?" The big dumbass asked.
"I ain't with no one. Now let go.'' I squirmed in his grip but he just flung me up in the air. I went up a few feet above him and he was about 6 foot 5. Then I came crashing down. I groaned as I rolled onto my stomach. Shit that hurt.
"She is a tough one." Dumbass stated as he stepped on my back putting his heel in my lower spin.
"You need to get off her." Tony must've called part of his suit since the guy now was plastered to the wall behind me.
I sat up and looked at the other ones that were there and was glad that they were unconscious.
Natasha came over and gave me a hand up. "You alright girl?" She looked at my neck.
"I'm fine but I wish the floor would have given me some slack." I laughed.
I glanced at Torren in the cage. "How did dumbass get in?"
Natasha looked at Tony before she spoke. "We don't know. But he was here to get him." She jabbed a finger in Torrens direction.
"Ah" I looked at Tony ''did you get info out of Torren that is useful?" I was now leaning against the panel with my back to Torren.
"Yes" is all Tony said. As he went tapping away on his tablet.
I glanced at Natasha with my eyebrow raised in confusion. She just shrugged and went to pushing buttons on the panel. What is going on here? I looked around and Loki was near Torren with his back to us. Just then an explosion rang through the room. We all were thrown in different directions. I could hear glass shattering and then all I was left with was a ringing in my ears. Fuck. I tried sitting up but I couldn't move my legs. I quickly looked down at my legs to see that part of the little room's frame had landed on me. I tried pushing it off but from the angle I was at I couldn't get the right leverage to do so. I tried to look for the others but all I could see around me was dust and fallen debris.
"Well it looks like the table has turned honey." Torren emerged from the dust next to me.
"Get the hell away Torren.'' I tried to move and fling the frame off. But I was stuck.
Torren chuckled and pulled out something from his back. "Night night little one." He lunged at me. I found out what. He had a sering. I don't know how he got one. But what it had in it made me very weak and I went limp as Torren tossed the frame away and scooped me up in his arms. I tried to fight but my limbs were not working. He stepped over a lot of debris and we left through a hole in the wall. As we stepped out into the night I blacked out.
