Okay so I knew they were going to take us to some type of prison but the place they actually took us was just ridiculous. It was an off-shore facility that was hidden underwater, they're treating us like we just tried to destroy the earth or something. The secretary of state was an asshole and he knew he was. They loaded us off the chopper and sent us inside and jail cells where everywhere

"This is where you will be serving out your sentence" the secretary waved his hand towards the cells

"Why are you treating us like we tried to destroy earth?" I said

"You broke the law so it's basically like destroying the world"

"Oh you'd know when I was really trying to destroy the world, I'm doing you a favor by not making myself your enemy" I hated this guy so much, he knew exactly how to piss me off

"Is that a threat?"

"Call it what you want, but if it were a threat you and I both know that nobody would be able to stop me" I said

That made him mad and I liked that. They made us change into some blue uniform, we are definitely in prison. Guards led me to my cell, I sat up with my back against the wall

(Time skip like an hour later)

I still sat in the same spot, there was literally nothing to do. I could see Sam in his cell pacing around, Scott used the trash can as a drum, Clint was laying down and Wanda just sat upright like a statue. I heard doors open and you'll never believe who it was, Mr.Stark. Why was he here, he was the one who basically put us here.

He walked past all of our cells, he stopped at Clint's and I could see them talking. He moved onto Sam and they were talking about something as well. Eventually he was done and he left.

(Time skip 2 days)

We all just sat there, nothing to do but to stare at each other or the wall. The same thing occurred everyday, but today was different. Alarms started to sound and red lights flashed around the room

"Sam what is this?" I asked

"Kid I don't know, I'm behind a cell just like you"

I waved off his comment, we heard bodies hitting the floor and groan sounds coming from the other side of the door. Clint and I exchanged a look full of concern when the door came bursting open. Darkness filled the entrance when a tall figure stepped in

"Who are you?" Sam said

"You don't know who I am, I'm hurt" I knew that voice, I'm glad to have heard that voice again. Steve emerged from the dark with a smile on his face

"No way" I was clearly shocked

"I'm here to get you guys out of here" Steve said as he somehow got all of us out of our cells

"Finally I can get these cuffs off my wrist and this thing off from around my neck" I said

"Let's get out of here guys" Steve said as he and the rest of us began walking out

"Wait!" We all turned around and the secretary of state was there

"If you walk out that door you're officially a criminal and we will hunt you down"

"You already said we were criminals remember?" I said

"This time I mean it but I'm willing to make a deal. I'll let you all go back to your normal lives, but you will have to stay in a certain area until I say otherwise"

We all exchanged looks "Deal" I looked over and Clint walked towards him, same with Scott. Did I want to take this deal as well? Would it be betraying Steve's trust. Oh well, it's my future not his

"You've also got a deal" I stepped forward, but Steve grabbed my arm

"What are you doing Liam?"

"He's giving me are chance to have the normal life I wanted to have in a the first place, I'm not passing up on this opportunity."

He must've understood because he let go. Clint, Scott, and I stood with the secretary leaving Sam, and Wanda with Steve. They all walked out leaving us four still there

"What are you guys going to do with this freedom?"

"I've got a wife and kids I need to worry about" Clint said

"Same here" Scott added

"And as for you Mr.Clark?"

"I'm going to focus on college and stuff"

He nodded and led us to a helicopter that took us back to the base

"I need to grab some things and I'll be right out" I said

"Make it quick"

I grabbed everything I brought and loaded it into the chopper. I said my goodbyes to Scott and Clint and we all headed in opposite directions. I gave one last look at the base as the helicopter flew off.
