I walked into the room, my breath catching when i realized where i was- Hydra. The chair, the restraints, the cold metal table filled with wires and needles. It was all exactly as I remembered.

They strapped me down, connecting cords to my arms and chest, the air thick with sterilized metal and fear. My eyes flicked to the tray beside me.

"What are those for?" I asked, my voice smaller than I wanted it to be.

"Today you'll be injected with a variation of the super soldier serum. It will enhance your physical abilities." The scientist said

I swallowed hard and nodded.

The first needle entered my arm- and fire ripped through my veins.

I bit back the scream until I couldn't anymore. My body ached off the table as I cried out, my vision flashing white.

"Stop! Please- please, no more" I begged, tears streaming down my face.

They didn't listen.

When it was finally over, two guards grabbed me, dragging me down the hall.

"You'll fight until you win" one of them said, shoving me into the training room.

My legs trembled, my skin burning- but I could feel something. Strength. Power. The serum was working.

A guard at least five times my size stepped into the ring.

"Began"

I raised my fists. The moment he lunged, instinct took over. My movements were faster, sharper- almost too fast. The power in my arms felt unreal.

It didn't take long before I had him pinned to the floor, his breath knocked out.

The Hydra leader nodded from the shadows.
"Impressive" he said

Then he turned away.
"Take her back" he said

By the time they threw me into the cell again, my body collapsed. I could barely move. But Alexander wasn't there.

My chest tightened.

When they finally dragged him in, I could barely recognize him. Blood covered his face. He didn't  even lift his head.

I crawled over, lifting his head into my lap.
"Alex. Are you okay?" I whisper

"Everything hurts" he rasped.
