Labyrinth

Chapter 14: You don't want to know me now.

Several more days go by, only this time, I have no visitors. Tony staff delivers clean clothes and food. I spend my days sitting and scheming, trying to find a way out of here. for while a part of me wonders, why they haven't called Fury yet. apart of me wishes they would. Maybe if he did come down here and explained to them what's going on... but I immediately put that thought out of my mind.

Tony would never just go off the word of Fury's. He would want to know every little things about what has been going on the past few years and we can't have any Avenger interference.

I sit on the bed and examine the golden bracelets. When I hear the ding from the elevators. Imagine my surprise when I see Tony, Nat, Loki, Steve, Thor and Buckys here. I don't want to be rude, so I stand and greet my guest. "Welcome. Come in. excuse the mess. I'm being held here against my will."

Steve sighs, "Were just trying to help you."

I smirk at him, "No Stevie. I don't think you are."

Nat says, "Oh yea, what do you think we're doing here?"

I smile at her and say, "You want information. You want what's on the drive."

Tony steps forward and says, "what if I told you, you're not as smart and clever as you think you are, and we've already broken your little code."

I take a step closer to glass and the team. I look Tony dead in his eyes and say, "Bullshit." When his face falls, I cackle. "so what is this, an intervention. Are you going to fix me?"

"Do you need fixing?" Bucky ask from the far corner.

My eyes dart to him and I say, "You tell me. I'm the one in a cage."

Loki steps forward, "We would let you out if you would just tell us what we need to know."

I snarl, "And I told you I cant." I scoff and roll my eyes as I turn my back on them, "Your wasting your time."

Tony yells, "You're running out of time. I can't help you if you won't let me Cali."

Steve says, "It's only a matter of time before we have to turn you over for your crimes."

I turn and look at all of them, "My crimes?" I try to compose myself. "What about your crimes?!"

Thor says, "Calm down Calida."

"Oh shut up Thor! stop pretending like were friends. We were never friends. Not then and not now." I grab my hair, and I tug as I begin to pace. I feel agitated and all this pent-up power within me has my skin buzzing. "look at all of you, standing here like, your masters of the universe, judging me." I take several steps towards them and when I'm inches from the glass, I stop and yell, "I am a GODDESS! Who are you?! huh? You're nothing but killers, murderers! At least I've tried to save lives, while I was out there."

Tony sighs as he looks at his team and then at me. "we are here to help you. that's all. That's it. because despite what you think, you might feel about us, we do care. You're my sister. Weve been through so much." He shakes his head and there is so much sadness in his eyes as he says, "I don't deserve this. we, your friends, don't deserve this. I love you, kid. I always will. You know that."

I shake my head unwilling to believe him or any of them. the fire beneath my skin, begins to simmer but I keep it all at bay. "the big hero. All of you. Iron man. captain America, Thor." I turn and smile vindictively towards the 3 anti-heroes in the corner. Nat, Loki, and Bucky. "But you three. Tell me, do you really think, that any amount of good that you do, will wipe all the innocent blood you have on your ledger?"

Steve says, "Stop it. why are you being like this?"

"hmm, well Stevie, those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Don't you think?"
