We had just gotten an anonymous tip-off to go to a warehouse somewhere near Madrid, Spain. We were on our way back from a mission in Italy, so Tony decided that we should all go.

It was a trap. I knew from the moment Clint and Nat had opened the warehouse doors. Stark and I had gone around the building, in case of an ambush. I had gone around the back. It was a well oiled plan. Until Nat, Clint and I got caught by a teenage girl. I mean, sure she looked like a teenager, but then again, I thought everyone looked young.

Not only was the girl from the Red Room, and had been injected with super serum, but also had been experimented on. Her ice powers weren't genetic, they were a mutation, something Bruce had told me in the lab.

And how she had overpowered us so easily, no wonder the Red Room chose only her to kill Barton and Natasha. Speaking of Natasha...

" Hey Nat" I said, gesturing for her to follow. " Are you alright?"

We walked to a window overlooking New York City. Trucks and construction workers filled the city to clean up the mess that Loki had started. Only a few months ago the Chitauri filled the streets, wreaking havoc on the innocent civilians.

She looked at me with a worried glance. " I thought the Red Room had been destroyed decades ago. If this girl is there, that means that there are others. Other girls who are undoubtedly being experimented on this very moment"

I looked at my hands, thinking about the situation." We will rescue them Nat. You mark my words"

She looked out of the window in thought.

" I just don't know what to do. This girl will be brainwashed and trained to the very highest level. She cannot be trusted, but at the same time, we have to try to help her. After all, she could become a valuable asset"

Nat went on. " After the attack at New York, Loki has been detained on the helicarrier, but I don't think that it is the end of the battle. Why was she sent to kill us now? Why not earlier, when the city was in a mess?"

" What are you saying?"

"I'm saying, that Hydra never does anything without a reason. Why now? I think that something is going on, whether the girl knows or not"

Bright light intruded my vision. My eyelids felt heavy, but I blinked the fogginess away.

I opened my eyes fully, and I was in an open space. A modern interior greeted me, with machines buzzing and a heart machine beeping every few seconds. I looked around. I was in a modern, metal chaise-like chair. My breathing increased, and the beeping grew quicker.

" Shit,shit,shit" I mumble, trying to get out of the chaise, but straps stop me.

There was an IV in my arm, hooked up to a drip, and some wires attaches to my neck. My heart rate increased by the second, and I was panting.

" Look who's up" said a voice from the other side of the room.

He wore a casual blazer with a t shirt and pants. He had greying hair, and glasses that were too big for his face. He turned around from where he was typing some data into a computer and put his hand to his earpiece.

" Guys, she's up" he said.

He walked over and put a hand on the side of my chair. On closer inspection, he looked about 40, with curly grey hair, and a bit of stubble. I glared up at him in silent anger. He furrowed his eyebrows and looked at me in hesitation.
