Just when we finished breakfast, JARVIS announced, "y/n, your presence is requested in conference room 12 by the director."

I gulped, but maintained my composure. Somehow this guy scared me. "Guess imma go now," I told the others and made my way to the said room.

"Uh uh uh, not so fast. I'll come with you," Yelena said and I rolled my eyes at the assumption of me, running away. Yeah okay, maybe it wasn't that unrealistic.

We arrived and saw Fury, together with another agent of SHIELD. I set on a smirk as I entered.

"If that isn't my favorite pirate," I greeted and sat down opposite the two.

He rolled his eyes, but chose to ignore the comment. "Good to see you're still here," he stated dryly and I narrowed my eyes.

"What? Do I have something in my face?" He smirked at me, as I stared him down.

"Eyepatch... ?" I mumbled quietly, looking around the room.

"What was that?"

"Nothing," I answered innocently as I looked back up.

"We still have some unanswered questions and I highly suggest you to answer them now, otherwise we'll have to use some more unpleasant methods," he continued, which send small shivers down my spine. Of course that's what it is about.

"Just ask already," I said in an annoyed tone to suppress my nervousness, every hint of sarcasm gone from my face.

"Who do you work for?" Agent Hill, as I learned her name was, asked rather friendly.

"I don't work for anyone," I stated.

"How'd you get your powers?" She continued.

I clenched my jaw. I didn't want them to know about my time at HYDRA, but I knew they would probably not hesitate to get one of those fucking tasers out.

"In an...experiment," I said.

"How long have you had them?" The director asked further.

"Uhm.. since I was seven I think. I'm not sure." This could I answer honestly.

"Who did those experiments?" Agent Hill questioned and I grew uncomfortable with all the pressure. I tried to forget about my past for a reason.

"Scientists." I tried to dodge the inevitable.

Fury sighed deeply. "Don't play with us. This is serious, goddammit!" He hit his fist on the table, making my eyes go wide.

I felt Yelena's hand on my leg to try and soothe me, but I registered the fear that grew inside of me.

"How. Did. You. Get. These. Powers?" He asked threateningly calmly. Didn't he know that already?

My hands began to shake slightly. "hydra," I whispered, quickly looking down at the table.

He sat back in his chair, obviously satisfied with the answer. "Finally," he sighed.

"Please enlighten us about it a bit more," Fury dug into it. When I didn't do anything, he added, "maybe a small shock could be motivating?"
