"How you feeling?" Dad asks, two days after our fight.

"Bruised." I whine.

"Suit up." He orders.

I step next to him and climb into my suit, the cool metal familiar hugging my body, i smile and pull down my mask.

"You ready?" Dad asks next to me, dressed in his own suit.

"Yeah, just don't tell Zeke Im doing this." I point out as we fly through the basement.

We reach the old tube station and start to walk through.

"Ah, father and daughter." A voice calls out. A figure turns around, his blue suit and star shield almost invisible in the dark tunnel.

"Captain?" I ask, taking a step forward. I see his eyes are pure black and i shake my head.

"Why are you doing this?" Dad asks.

"I like to scare people, watch them react to fear."

"Show yourself." I demand.

"Jarvis, i need a personal weakness for Captain." I order, newspaper reports and photos appear in front of me, one photo stands out.

"Stop." I whisper.

His car.

"Captain, your car. Its so important to you, why? Is it about your old fiancee. Do you remember when i destroyed your car by accident and you punched me?" I quickly say as he stands in front of my face.

Gradually his eyes turn back to dark green.

"What's going on?" He ask, confused.

"You were under mind control." I explain.

"Skye got you out of it." Dad jumps in.

"Who are you?" I shout, walking along the tube side and looking at the ceiling.

"Im a man." He sings.

"I know, but who are you?" I ask.

"Im someone you look at most days but you don't look at me." He says, his footsteps echoing off the walls.

"A riddle." I whisper.

"Yes."

"I don't like riddles." I admit, smiling under my mask.

A man appears in front of me, a short man with short blonde hair.

"You work at Stark Industries." I mutter.

"You could kill me now, you could call the police. I won't run. But i won't tell you why i do this."

"I won't kill you or call the police. Just tell me why."

"You're a clever girl, just like your daughter. You can figure it out." He teases, starting to walk away.

"You're dying." I shout, my words echoing in the tunnel as rodents scuttle along the lines.

He stops abruptly.

"Clever girl, a genius." He mutters. Genius. That's what Zeke calls me. Genius.

"Who are you?"

"Im Nathan Matthews."
