N'S P.O.V.
(A/N: The first part of this will be mostly all Italicized)

Pain. That's all I felt. All over my body. Burning, agonizing pain.

I had just been returned to my cell after the daily torture session. "N!" My cellmates gasped as I was thrown into the room. "I'm fine guys" I said as they helped me to the pile of blankets that dared call itself a cot. "That is not fine!" D yelled. She pushed me so I was laying down on the 'cot'. "Hold still. I know you can heal yourself but if the bone is off track it will only cause you more pain."

I sighed. "Fine, lets just get it over with." She nodded and lifted my shirt. Our other cellmate Shilow held my hand. D then laid her hands on my ribcage. Quick but no less painful she grabbed one of my separated ribs and moved it back into place. The bone making a resounding Crack! As my fast working genes began to mold the bone back to it's original post. "Gaaah!" I cried out squeezing Shilow's hand as hard as I could without hurting her. "Just because I can regenerate doesn't mean it doesn't hurt!" I yelled. "Sorry, I'm trying to do it as quick as I can."

30 minutes later~
(A/N: Whoever read that with the spongebob narrator voice gets a cookie!)

"There. All set and done." D said with a sigh. I rolled my eyes. "Haha, yes, you're very punny. Thanks Shi" (A/N: Pronounced Shy) I thanked her for holding my hand.

The door opened to reveal Alexander Pierce in all his horrid glory. "Well ladies. I know you are aware of what is about to happen." I bolted off of the cot. D, Shi and I each took a fighting stance. "I see you've chosen the hard way, too bad it won't matter in the end." And with that he snapped his fingers.

Five burly men came in. Two of them rushed us D jumped into the air while I sent a roundhouse kick to a mans chest and Shi hit all of a mans pressure points, temporarily paralyzing him since she hated to kill unless absolutely neccessary. D landed on the man's shoulders and quickly snapped his neck.

We were so caught up in fighting the other two we didn't notice the one sneaking up behind us until it was too late. I felt a needle puncture the skin of my neck. My legs suddenly gave way. I couldn't move! I glanced over to see D  and Shi in the same situation. "Take them to the wiping room. Make sure the job is done right." The men grabbed us and cuffed us. After doing so they grabbed us by our arms and dragged us down the hall. We saw some of the other prisoners in the same position. I didn't get to see which ones they were as I was quickly thrown into one of the many wiping rooms (A/N: I don't actually know how it goes I'm just making it like this, don't sue me please)

Not long after a doctor came in along with several nurses. They strapped me down to the table so they could once again force the both physical and mental pain of removing my memories. They put a gag in my mouth.

They turned on the machine. Thousands of electrical shocks were sent throughout my body, reawakening my nerves that had been dormant due to the injection, causing all of my nerves to contract sending painful waves throughout my body.

"Gaaaahhhh!!" I screamed. The torture continued despite my screams. I felt my mind go blank as my mind and will were destroyed. Eventually the torure ended. I was unstrapped from the table. I sat up and was met with the sight of a menacing man in the door way. He smiled but there was something evil about it, as if he could kill me in a moments notice. "Do you know your name?" He asked calmly. I shook my head. "Your name is N, your loyalties belong to Hydra, no one else. Under no circumstances are you to fail or disobey orders. Am I understood?" He asked.

"Yes Sir. Hail Hydra."

"Gaaahh!" I screamed as I bolted into a sitting position. The door burst open revealing Nat and Clint. They rush over to my side despite thier dishelveled hair and appearances. Nat sat next to me with an arm on my shoulder while Clint disappeared into the bathroom. I felt the tears begin to fall down my face. "Shhh, it's okay, it's okay to cry." I released the sobs that I had been holding in, racking my body with thier force. Eventually I calmed down but the sniffles were still present.

Clint came back into the room carrying a glass of water. He came over to where we sat on my bed and handed me the glass. "Th-thanks." I said between sniffles. Nat began stroking my hair. After a while Clint spoke up. "I don't know about you guys but I'm hungry. How's a midnight snack sound?" I chuckled as Nat elbowed him. "Sounds like a great idea." I said pulling away from where I had previously been leaning on Nat.

Nat nodded her head. We all got off the bed and we made our way to the cafeteria. "Hot cocoa sound good?" Clint asked as he lept over the counter separating the main eating area from the kitchen. "Clint, it's not even cold outside." Nat said in an exasperated tone. "What's 'Hot cocoa'?" I questioned. I didn't miss the tensing of Nat's shoulders and the almost pitying glance Clint tried to secretly send my way without me noticing.

Clint broke the silence by clapping his hands loudly, startling Nat from her train of thought. "Well! We're not getting any younger, if you haven't tried it before your gonna try it now. Take your seats." Nat and I shared a look before chuckling to ourselves and making our way to one of the tables, grabbing three chairs and dragging them to the counter.

Clint began flying around (A/N: I'm sorry I had to! 😂) the kitchen making the 'Hot Cocoa'. Nat and I watched with amused expressions as Clint went full on Chef-mode, also putting some strange bag that said 'Popcorn' on it into the small oven-like thing on the counter. After a while Clint poured the steaming liquid into three mugs. Then proceeding to add tons of this creamy fluffy mixture and toping it all off with chocolate shavings. "Damn Clint your really going all out." Nat chuckled. "Of course! I want her to experiance true Hot cocoa." Clint said as he set the glasses infront of us. He took the 'Popcorn' out of the appliance and poured the strange puffs into a large bowl, filling it to the brim. "To the living area!" Clint said pointing with one hand in the 'Cavalry charge!' position with his hot cocoa in the other. Nat and I chuckled at his odd behavior.

Walking down several hallways, we gained many strange looks from the few agents that worked on the night shift. Most I would guess would be because it's not everyday you see two master assassins walking down a hallway with a girl that didn't look over ten carrying steaming mugs of hot cocoa and popcorn. After a few more turns-and strange looks-we finally made it to one of the living areas.

"Wanna watch some T.V.?" Clint asked. "T.V.?" I questioned. "Here I'll show you." Clint chuckled as he gently grabbed my shoulders and guided me to the couch before plopping himself down next to me. Nat rolled her eyes and smiled before walking over and joining us on the couch.

Clint picked up the remote on the table and turned on the strange computer-like box. The box glowed as it came to life. "Isn't this just a computer?" I asked Clint. He chuckled. "Sort of but the main use of a T.V. is to watch movies and shows." "Movies?" I questioned once again.
Clint sighed.

"You have much to learn
young sparrow." "Sparrow?" Nat and I asked at the same time. Clint nodded. "Of course. She'd have to be a bird for me to teach her. After all my code name is Hawkeye." Nat and I shared a look. "Well then what am I supposed to call her when I'm teaching her?" Nat said holding in a laugh. Clint was at a loss for words.
