My Promise

"Okay Abigail, we're letting you out, but you have to wear this." Dr. Chow said to her.

She put a thin collar around her neck. She went to a giant machine in the hospital room and turned a dial to three.

"If you try to leave this building, attack someone, or even think violently, the collar will give a controlled shock to you, and you will be apprehended." She said to her

Abigail lifted a had to touch it, but it gave a shock to her whole body. She cringed in pain.

"Oh, I forgot, if you try taking it off it will shock you too." She gave her a sympathetic smile. "I'm sorry, but Mr. Stark said that if you wanted access to the rest of the building you have to wear this. You're free to go."

Dr. Chow turned and walked out of the room. Abigail looked at the floor, tears littering her eyes. She gripped the medical bed so tight, that he knuckles turned white.

She got up from the table and slowly made it back to her cell. If she was gonna be trapped here still, why not stay in the cell.

She shut the door, put her back to the door, and slid down it. She didn't want to stay, and if she wanted to take it off, it would shock her.

"Oh, Abigail, how will we get home now?" The WindMaker said as he laid his head on her. She put her face in her hands.

Back in the hospital room, at the machine. A dark hand grabbed the dial and turned it to ten.

Steve, Tony Bucky, and Natasha were making there way out to Kanasa. As they were flying out there, Bucky was complaining.

"Why couldn't I stay?" He asked for the hundredth time.

"I'll say it again, and I hope it goes through your old man head. I'm not leaving Abigail with you! I don't want you to fuck her." Tony said from the cockpit.

"I would never do that! She has a fiancee!" Bucky yelled back.

Steve sighed and rolled his eyes. He sat beside him.

"It's okay Buck, she just fine. Tony did something so she stays safe in the tower and won't get kidnapped."

"How did you do that?" Natasha asked him.

He was quiet for a second, then sighed.

"I put a shock collar on her." He mumbled.

"YOU DID WHAT!" Steve and Bucky said angrily.

"Turn this plane around right now!" Steve demanded.

"Look, I didn't want to do it, Fury said I had to if we wanted her out with us," Tony explained.

"But what if some of us doesn't want her out," Natasha said.

"And who wouldn't want her out?" Steve said. "She's a delight to be around."

"A delight? She keeps attacking Bucky, Canada is too scared to even think about her, Clint doesn't want anyone getting in a big fight about her, Rhoads thinks she's another version of Loki, Sam thinks she's a spy from an unknown organization, and Bruce doesn't want to be around her until he knows what she is. And frankly, she's scary." She said.

"She not that scary, she's the one that's scared," Bucky whispered. They sat in complete silence.

Abigail went to her room in the tower and got more stuff. They put a little cot in there a few days ago.

She was caring a bedside table down the hall, but it was heavy. She ran into someone. She turned around and saw the sandy blond guy.

"Do you need help?" He asked.
