The Grim Reaper - An Avengers story

He looks like a pirate

Date and time are unknown, New York City

I was stuck in that room for what felt like hours to my short attention span self. After about 2 minutes I got tired of counting tiles so I moved on to planning. For what? Well for how I was going to answer whatever questions this 'Fury' had. I thought of just about all the questions he could ask. So I felt prepared to lie.

Another million years passed until a  strange man walked in. He looked normal enough except for the eye patch. He is a pirate for sure. 

I managed to keep laughter in and maintain an 'I could kill you' look.

He regarded me with cold eyes, sorry eye. 

I gave him an unamused and emotionless look. Which I think he found slightly annoying.

"You know you have caused the Avengers a lot of trouble. They think your very dangerous." He said this like it was a bad thing.

"''That was my goal." I didn't at him, instead I looked at the wall.

"What's your name kid? And I don't mean what Hydra called you I mean what is the name you were given at birth."

"Damian. Yeah that sounds right."

"Damian, you are quit the trouble maker. I think you could be a powerful asset."

"No. You don't get to lock me in a cell and then say you want me. That's not how it works. And plus I already have a job."

"Killing isn't a job. It is something you do to feel like you can do something. And you could still kill but for the right cause instead."

Now I get it.

"You want me to join you because you think I'm to powerful to be an enemy."

He let out a small laugh. "Now he's smart."

"Am I wrong? No. Answer me this. Why should I join you when I am already near the top of Hydra. Why give up power for 'the greater good' when I have enough power to destroy you."

"Are you making a threat?"

"No. Now answer my question."

"What is it you want? Money. Power. A family. Join us and I'll give you whatever you want."

"How long would I have to stay in this little prison."

"Until we know your power and your background."

"Both are touchy subjects."

He sighed. "The sooner you tell the sooner you can be out of this."

"Fine, now can you tell me date or even the time? I think I have been awake for 4 days."

"Sleep and then tomorrow be ready to talk." And with that he walked away.

"How am I supposed to sleep with my hands tied to a table?"

No response. Typical.

I finally fell asleep after 2 hours.
