I woke up to see myself in a cage, with a collar around my neck to keep me from using my powers.
I had the worst headache and my body was aching from head to toe.

I looked around but there was nothing but black walls around me. But it dawned on me, I was at the raft.
I'm sure everyone was.

My cage started moving back and forth for a minute before it finally stops and Ross walks in.

"Elizabeth. How are you?" He asks me
"Oh you know the normal. Locked in a cage, collar around my neck. Nothing new" I say glaring at him
"Well I'll get straight to the point about why I'm here" he says
"Please do" I tell him
"Where's Steve" he asks
"Don't know" I say back
"I know you know Elizabeth. You are just trying to protect them. Now where is he?" He asks again
"Why would I tell you." I say but that only earned a slap to the cheek
I close my eyes as he yells
"Where is he?!" He says
"I. Don't. Know." I say looking him dead in the eyes
"Fine. How about this. You tell me where he is and I can get you out of here. You refuse, and this cage will dunk you in the freezing ocean 3 times a day" he says trying to be intimidating
"Go ahead. Do it. Like I said before, it's nothing new to me" I coldly reply
He glares at me before walking out and closing the door
My cage starts to move again before I feel myself drop.
Water quickly starts to fill my cage. It gets to the top and I take one last breath. I hold it for as long as possible luckily for me the cage starts to move up again.
Well he wasn't lying when he said it was freezing.

I don't even know how many days I've been here. Maybe weeks.
Every once in a while I would try use my powers to see if I could feel if Wanda was still here. But a few days ago when I tried again, I couldn't feel her. I can only hope she escaped this place and is trying to live a normal life. Maybe with vision too.

A few days have passed since I last tried to feel who was here so I thought why not try again before I'm dumped into the water.
I started to use them, quickly getting a headache but I ignored it and keep pushing.
I felt Ross, a lot of guards, and. Tony. What was he doing here?

I felt my cage start to move again to drop me, so I decided try something.

"Look at the cameras. And watch what you thought was best for me" I tell Tony in his head
I could feel him look at the cameras so I looked up for him to see my face. Then my cage dropped.
I took my last breath and held on for my life. But my body was already exhausted from using my powers, I slowly started to see black dots.
Before I could even feel the cage moving up I started to breach in water. And before I knew it everything went dark

"Elizabeth" I knew that voice from anywhere. It was alex.
"Elizabeth you can't die yet. You have so much more you have to do. I love you Lizzie" he tells me
"Wake up. Come on Elizabeth wake up! Wak-" alex says but it turns into Tony's voice
"Wake up Elizabeth!! Wake up!!" He yells shaking me
I start to cough up water as he helps me sit up
"Oh thank God" he mumbles
I just sit there for a minute in his arms
"I'm going to get you out of here" he whispers to me
"How?" I ask
"I have a plan. I promise" he tells me
I just nod as guards grab him and drag him away
