SONG OF THE CHAPTER: Feeling good - Michael Buble

-2 months have passed since the last chapter. Steve came back for them and helped them escape prison.-

Y/n waltzed into the warehouse swinging the double doors open. She was wearing a long black trench coat, black jeans and a turtle neck. She had eyeliner on and a dark red lipstick. Everyone inside instantly went to grab their guns but sharp realised who it was.

"Miss me, boys? She's back in town."

"Hey! Stygian! how've you been?" Mike greeted her patting her shoulders.

"Had a few hiccups here and there but we're all good now. Just on the run. Entertaining my days by getting revenge."

"When are you not?" He laughed.

"Did you know how great of a weapon an axe is? Heavy for sure but super effective. I might take it up full-time."

The seven others of the group got up to greet her as well.

"Carla? Do you still do tattoos?" Y/n asked.

Carla pulled up half of her top to reveal a new set of tattoos since the last time Y/n had seen her.

"I'd like a full sleeve, please. I've got the design here. I feel like needing a new look." Y/n stated as she pulled her chair up and rested her heavy boots on the poker table.

"Anything else?" Carla laughed.

"Actually yeah. Before you start I think I'm going to get a jack and coke if you've got any." She got up again and found the whisky.

Pouring it she spoke again, "I think I'm gonna get a few more piercings and dye my hair."

"Damn, what changed you?" The other guys laughed.

"The raft" she sipped her drink, sitting back down ready for her tattoo process.

"You got put in the raft?!"

"Yeah and had the shit beaten out of me," she laughed, "I let them though. I couldn't be arsed to fight back. Although I did kick one of them in the face before I got arrested at the airport. Can u believe he tried to sexually assault me with the rest of the team and everyone else around? People are shameless nowadays," she sipped again.

A little time had passed and she'd joined in with the conversations as much as possible. Although she wouldn't admit it she had missed these guys.

During her period of escaping Hydra, she found these guys and they helped her and for quite a few years they had become quite close. From time to time she even called a couple of them to catch up.

"Do you guys still have my pit? Bit of a long shot that question I know it's been quite a few years."

"It's still upstairs. Carla sometimes crashes there."

"Aw, you missed me." Y/n teased her.

"Only a little."

"It's fine I missed yous too. A bit." She teased back.

"A top-up?" Mike asked referring to her drink.

"Yeah, thanks. Oh, also there's some snacks in my bag if you want them."

Richard immediately got up to dive into her bag for food.

"I knew that would happen! That's why I brought extra." Stygian laughed.

By the time the group had decided to sleep Carla had finished Stygian's sleeve.

"Damn, you're quick at that. It looks sick as well." Y/n said checking it out in the mirror.

"Here put this plastic over it and it should be fine by the morning."

"Thanks."

Y/n returned to her room. It felt weird returning after so long.

She dropped her bag off in her room and got changed into an old T-shirt ready to dye her hair. She was putting the red dye over her brown hair to make it darker.

Washing it off a while later she could see the effects of it and was instantly pleased. Then, using her piercing kit she gave herself a nose piercing and one of the opposite eyebrow to the one she shaved. She also pierced her belly.

Carla whistled as Y/n made her way down the stairs for lunch. They had all slept in till midday due to their late night.

"Lady and gentlemen the new Stygian!" Richard whistled.

"Oh stop. Anyway I was thinking, why don't we go out sometime soon to a club. I haven't been out with yous in a long time so I've figured why not soon."

"I'm in"

"Me too. I was in as soon as she mentioned a club." Carla laughed.

-

Mid-afternoon Y/n got ready to go out for her run through the woods. She always used to run through there so she knew the route.

"Guys if I don't come back in 30 minutes come get me! I'm going for a run in the woods!" She shouted towards them and they all said okay.

Throughout her run, all she heard was another person running with her. A different route but the same place. Looking around for the fifth time all she could see was a short strand of platinum blonde hair in the distance, running off. She presumed the other person hadn't seen her and had completely gone from sight now.

Slowly she walked towards the direction where the person had run off.

"Hello?" Y/n said.

But no response.

After minutes of searching she couldn't find the person so decided to run back with a chilling feeling down her spine.
