Tony carried me to the helicopter. It all felt like a foggy dream, how I curled up between Steve and Wanda in the backseat, my eyes closing, but not being able to fall asleep. I heard the Avengers talking and whispering around me, I felt the speed of the helicopter in my stomach, but I wasn't present. I felt so numb.

We landed softly and one of them carried me to my room. I bit my lip so I wouldn't scream in pain, as their steps shook my body.

"Get some sleep" the voice said in a calm tone, laying me on a bed. I looked around. I was in the Avengers medical bay. When I got my head stitched up by Bruce, they had to use the lab since they were restoring the equipment in this room.

My heart was racing as I looked around. There was a CT, an x-ray machine, hospital beds and IV poles. The devices and screens reminded me of HYDRA. I felt my stomach twist.

I just stared at the ceiling, listening to my breaths, thinking.

Who was HYDRA? Why did they want me? What superpower were they trying to understand with their horrifying experiments? I had a superpower? Was that the reason I was able to punch that guy next to the basement so hard? Wow, that seemed like a really long time ago. Was that why it took so many men to kidnap me or drag me to...that room? Was I really that strong? I sure didn't feel like it.
