By the time Tony and I reached our destination, we made it look like a walk in the park.
He carried me across the ocean in his Iron Man suit, sending it to full power.
He didn't have to worry about me because I put up a defensive shield that wrapped around my body as he did this.
It took a little effort but at this rate, a little meant a lot.
"I told you it was cold." I grumbled, shivering into my coat Tony had given me before we left the Chopper.
It was thick and woolly but that didn't stop the fact that I was freezing my ass off.
Tony shuffles beside me, his suit making heavy thuds on the snow as we crunched our way forward.
I could almost feel a blizzard heading our way and squinted through the wind and haze.
The Quinjet was here but so was another slough truck.
Steve and Bucky probably just arrived.
"What do you see?" I asked Tony, looking forward.
He scanned the area around him for a moment using his tech. "There's a basement under this rock. Pavement, right there."
He pointed towards a lumbering shadow up ahead.
The mist seemed to clear and a bunker peek through the snow, embedded in a mountain of rocks.
"We're here," I tell him gravely, my voice small. I begin to walk ahead of Tony, not waiting for him to catch up.
"How do you know?" I heard him ask as he followed.
My footsteps faltered for a moment before I allowed the memories to run rampant.
"Because I remembered how those doors closed as I screamed for them to let me go."
He doesn't speak after that and I know my words have truly gotten him.
Even now as I stand in front of it, I still felt that familiar fear that slithered down my spine at the mere thought of this place.
They broke me down here and turned me into a monster.
"Blues?"
We were now standing on the threshold of the opened Bunker door and I blinked rapidly to get myself to focus.
It was like my entire body was shutting down and all I could recall where the memories I wanted to forget.
"I'm fine," I looked at him and nodded before glancing back at the long darkened hallway that led to a stairwell.
Are you ready to see what happened here?
I took a step in and hesitated before ignoring the dark voice and continuing on towards the stairs.
Are you ready to become what you truly are?
I heard Tony closing the Bunker with a loud metallic bang, caging us in.
"I appreciate the confidence but get behind me. One of us is made of metal."
Tony sidesteps me and begins to lead, not pausing to wait for my protests.
He doesn't seem to notice how affected I am and I'm silently grateful he doesn't.
This will make it all easier, won't it?
I swallowed hard and raced after Tony, keeping my head low as we slowly descended down the stairwell and deeper into my real nightmare.
He's silently scanning the walls of this place and the large metal pipes surrounding us.
