Steve's P.O.V.
"Nope." Stark says. "I say nope and it is my tower so really I get to decide. So conversation is dropped they get to stay in the cell in the basement."
"Stark this is not a suggestion. Your tower is the most secure facility we have. The 64th floor is vacant, all I want you to do is make it livable and they can live in there with no way out. Only one entrance or exit. It's a great idea Stark. In fact it was your idea." Fury leans on the back of the chair at the head of the table.
"Yeah but that was for these guy. The good guys."
"Well, you have two other floors for that. Stark just do it." Fury walks away. And Stark starts to grumble something."What's your problem?" I ask.
"My problem is that one of those girls down there is a lunatic. The other one seems perfectly normal but they all do at first don't they?" He shakes his head. "Jarvis can you get some people started on renovating the 64th floor please."
"Yes Mr. Stark." Tony grunted.24 hours later
Makenna's P.O.V.Lilly explained everything to me. How I killed Jack and she had known for months that it was going to happen. I still haven't talked to anyone. I've refused to eat. I hardly slept last night. I won't talk to anyone. How can I, I killed one of my best friends. How can I forgive myself for that? Lilly told me that Fury decided to have her help Stark. That if she did she would be given a clean slate. She took the deal. I wasn't given any opportunity like that. They've seen what I can do now. They've watched most of my tapes, they know why I am the way I am. They also told me I was being moved to a more secure location. I don't care, though, at this point I just want to die.
A transport team comes in and tells Lilly that she's needed. She leaves and then they come over to me. They put the power cuffs on me and put something around my neck. They attach two poles to either side of the collar like thing and start to lead me out of the cell. We walk through the helicarrier and past all of the Avengers and Barry. I don't look at them. I can't even look at myself. I am a monster. Steve should have let me die.
When we get to where ever we are going, they put me in a room that is fully furnished. The close the door. It has no handles and no keypad on the inside. It can only opened from the outside. I sit on the edge of the bed facing the window.
I don't move for the next couple hours. And then the door opens. I don't care who it is. I just want to be left alone. The bed dips beside me but I still don't look. A hand offers me some potato chips. I look away.
"No? Okay." Steve says. Of course they send Steve to talk to me. "You know it wasn't your fault right? What happened to Jack." I look at him. I just wanted him to shut up. "Hey, talk to me. I'll listen."
"Do you know what it's like," I ask," to kill your best friend and not know that you are the one who did it?" I whisper.
"That wasn't your fault. The serum took over. Tony is working on the anti serum-" I chuckle.
"You don't get it," I say looking at him." It's not just the serum. They did other things to me in The Red Room. Things that . . . I can't get out of my head. I am not the person I once was. There's things about me that no one knows because if anyone knew them they would see me as . . . a monster."
"Tell me about what happened in the red room." I shake my head no. "Come on just tell me. It will make you feel better." I take a breathe. He knows, that I know he's right."Fine. But don't say I didn't warn you." I take a deep breathe." And before I say anything. That camera has to be turned off. I'm only telling you, not the rest of them." I point to the camera in the corner. Steve nods to the camera and the light goes off. He looks at me. "Okay. I was 13 when they first approached me. They said I had a darkness in me, that I didn't know how to contain. They said that they would help me learn how to contain it so that I wouldn't hurt anyone. I was a different person back then, I just wanted to save people from myself. So I accepted the offer. Then they put a bag over my head. They didn't want me to know where I was going. After days of being hauled all over the place we arrived at the KGB's Black widow program."
"Wait is that where you and Natasha first met?" I nod.
"She was at the end of hers as I began mine. Then she left. And I met Lilly. We were fast friends. Then they took me into the red room." My lip starts to quiver at the memory." At first we were just shooting at targets and then it was adults. Then teenagers. And children." My breathe gets heavy," Then they made me kill new borns. I was never the same again. I'm a monster, Steve. you should have let me die." I stare at the wall in front of me. He grabs my left hand and I look at our entwined hands.
