      I woke up with a pounding headache,..... and in a room that wasn't mine. I slowly got out of bed and to the window to see nothing but clouds and sky. Lovely. I am in a plane and my breathing is getting fast. Calm down Kena,......... even though you hate flying more than Wolverine hates it. I took deep breaths and turned around and saw a door on the other side of the room in front of the bed.
        I walked to it and put my hand on the door knob to open it. But I heard voices........ talking about me." you did not need to do that Tony. Kena has been out for almost 19 hours." Steve said. " well you sure as hell weren't going to do what needed to be done, and she wasn't going to cooperate so I did what had to be done." Tony said with frustration. I was flustered with Tony at this point and as I was about to barge out of the room to defend myself I heard Natasha say " Ladies, first of all if you are going to argue do it away from Kena's door so you won't wake her up. Second, I think before we have her answer our questions we should answer hers. We did technically just kidnap her. I believe hers are more important." 

         Tony spoke up and started headed to my room " I do not care ours is urgent. I say we wake her up and ask her our questions." I heard that scraping of a chair and a pair of heavy, running footsteps. Clint stopped Tony by putting his hand against his chest and in a firm voice said " No Tony. I can't let you do that." Tony looked at him and said "Give me a reason I shouldn't wake her up."in a firm voice. Clint answered back in a firmer voice "Aside from Steve I was the only one who got a good look at her face and I can tell that she hasn't slept in months."
                I heard a chair lightly scoot back and sweet, deep voice say "At least let me check on her. See if she has a concussion, needs ice." I heard them walk to the door so I lightly ran back to the bed and practically dove under the covers and it my back to the door to make it look like I was asleep. I heard the door knob turn so I sat up in bed and rubbed my eyes like I just woke up. Everyone came into the room Clint pulled a chair next to the bed and looked at me with concern. " How are you doing kid?" he said. 

                   I just sat there staring at him for a few moments and then said " First of all my name is not kid. It's Kena. Second, I am doing just fine. But I do need to stretch." Completely forgetting about my headache I got out of bed and started stretching. I let out a hiss in pain and sat back down on the bed and put my head in my hands.  Natasha came and sat next to me and as she rubbed my back she said " Are you sure you're okay?" 

  I smiled and looked at her " Some pain reliever would be lovely right now. I just have a head ache." I glared at Tony and if looks could kill the would be dead the minute I looked at him. " I will get you some. Tony why don't you come with me so you can get some ice....... and so she won't kill you." Before Natasha closed the she looked at me and smiled that I couldn't help but return. I felt the bed shift and looked to my right and saw Bruce sitting there. " Do you mind if I check your head for anything?" 

                I nodded my head and he put his hands on both sides of my face softly and moved my head around examining it. When he was done he shined a flashlight in my eyes a few times and turned it off. He sat back and relaxed a bit. " Well the good news is you don't have a concussion but you may have a small bump later." Natasha came back in with water and a bottle of painkillers. She put the water in the nightstand, opened the bottle, and handed me 2. Bruce told her where to put the ice on my head, and she held it on the spot until I was ready to hold it.

I rotated my shoulders to relax them and winced while making a face of pain. Steve sat up straight in his chair. Natasha rubbed my right arm " Kena are you okay?" I nodded and stood up and threw the ice pack on the floor. I looked over my left shoulder trying to look at the wound from yesterday. Realizing that the bandage was still on my shoulder blade. I put my fingers around the edge and tore it off my shoulder. I kept trying to look at my shoulder blade and started turning in circles trying to look at my wound. I gave up with a frustrated huff of air leaving my lungs. I looked at Clint and said " Clint ...... would you mind?" 

He stood up nodding his head while standing up and walked over to me. " Okay... What am I doing exactly?" I gestured to my left shoulder blade. He nodded and sat down on the bed with his back against the wall and pats the open space in front of him. I sit down on the bed in front of him and hand him a pair of tweezers. Clint stretched his legs out and said " You can squeeze my legs if you need to. I do not mind." I sat there staring at the mattress and playing with a loose thread on the quilt that I slept in. " I have been through a lot worse than a dumb small tracker." He nodded his head and put the tweezers into my shoulder blade and pulled out the tracker and put it on a piece of paper.

I pulled a throwing knife out of my left boot and stabbed the tracker. Everyone looked at me shocked and I just sat there still playing with the loose thread. " Only way to destroy those..... If it's from Hydra." Tony looked me up and down and asked " How do you know so much about Hydra?" I looked away from the thread and stared at Tony and said " That is my business and mine alone. If you really want to know then I suggest that you do your homework and look it up." He looked at me shocked " Okay first of all I didn't mean to come off like I am attacking you and second we all looked in your file and there was nothing in there about how you know Hydra, family, friends, and whatever."

 My stomach started growling at me and I remembered that I haven't eaten anything aside from yesterdays breakfast. I clapped my hands onto my thighs " So I'm hungry where is the kitchen." I noticed that Tony was giving me the you're not going anywhere look so I looked at each of them and said " Or am I not allowed to leave the room at all. Oh let me guess I need to have adult supervision." Clint sat there smiling and said I'll show you where it is." He got off the bed, went to the door, and held it open for me to leave with him.

As we were walking in the hall to the kitchen Clint kept glancing at me from the side. Soon I looked at him a little annoyed and said " Why do you keep glancing at me like that?" He looked at me confused and said I'm just trying to figure something out is all." It was my turn to be confused and he said " When you met us at the mall you were very tense. Like even more tense than being shot or chased by that Hydra agent. So that tells me you don't like us............ Why?" 

I stared at him and thought about how to carefully word my answer. " I have my reasons just like everybody else does." He nodded his head and kept walking.

FLASHBACK

It was my 8th birthday. Mom, Dad, Brandon, and I just sat down to eat lunch. Brandon was 4 and he was literally my best friend. We lived in an apartment complex on the 8th floor. There was an explosion on the first floor and I was blown back from the table. I heard Brandon yelling for me to help him from under the table. My Dad was yelling for me to go to him but I couldn't get there. I looked around trying to find a way to get to Brandon. I hear someone say " Kid are you alright?" I just looked up at him with tears in my eyes and just said " Please?'' 

It was Captain America and he picked me up off the floor and carried me out. As we were leaving I kept begging him to save at least Brandon. I wound up asking the others to save him but they wouldn't. My parents and Brandon did not survive.

END FLASHBACK

I noticed that I wasn't walking anymore and in a corner with Clint standing in front of me looking at me with lots of concern. I sniffled and rubbed my left arm looking at the floor. Clint rubbed my back and whispered in my ear " Are you okay Kena?" I sniffled and hugged him back and said "  Yeah just a flashback." He nodded his head " Yeah but you were crying and I mean close to bawling crying." I nodded my head " Yeah let's just get to the kitchen so I can eat yeah?" I let go of him and started walking in the direction we were before we made the pit stop. 

When we got there I made a bee line to the fridge and pulled out the cheese and butter. I grabbed the bread and started making grilled cheese sandwiches.
