As The Sand Falls

Chapter 1

    Peter PoV.

I watch as the sand falls down slowly filling the bottom of the hourglass, and when it stops I flip it over to start the cycle once again. My mind wanders to the time spent in this room wondering how many days it has been since I was let out, besides training. The door slowly creaks open and I look over at the person standing in the doorway. 

It's the intern for Hydra, he always gives me my suit before a mission.  The suit for the Hourglass Spider. Normally I would take the suit, finish the mission, and be back as soon as possible, but today I have a different plan. I'm escaping tonight before I am supposed to kill some politician or other famous person. I have had enough. Enough being tortured if I hesitate, and every mission I seem to hesitate. The doctors can literally do anything they want to torture me thanks to my healing factor that they gave me years ago.  To kill me would require my brain to be destroyed, so anything else is fair game. 

I take the suit from the intern and get on the jet to be informed of my newest mission.  Luckily for me it is right next to a nuclear plant in upstate New York, and I have just the plan to escape. I walk into the building like my mission required my to, but instead of going up the stairs to where the big shots who run this joint are, I go down to the lower levels and blow them up. The nuclear plant starts to rumble and I make a quick escape into a nearby forest and start running.

Timeskip. 

I reach what seems to be a mansion out in the middle of nowhere, and not seeing anyone inside I decide to go in. Knowing that this is a high security place I disable the alarms and go through the back door. Running to what seems to be a closet I quietly open and shut the door and turn around, as my sixth sense starts to go off. They seem to be talking about nothing of importance when one of them suddenly stops.

"I sense a foreign presence in the closet, shall I get them?" The voice, a funny sounding male voice, asks his companion. And without waiting for them to respond, the male somehow floats through the wall, and grabs me by the arm. I try to jerk back away from them, but their grip holds strong. They pick me up and phase through the wall again to the companion, a female with long red hair.

"We should take him to Stark and the others," she says simply, and I finally realize who these people are . They are a part of the avengers, and it seems that I stumbled upon the two most powerful, Scarlet Witch and the Vision.

I was carried over to a much larger room with a television, and a large group of people. I scan the room quickly and a specific person stands out to me. Swiftly tearing off my arm, I had gotten used to the pain after it was done often enough, I sped walked over to the man while ignoring the gasps of shock, bowed my head and said, "Winter Soldier, it is a pleasure to meet you. I am the Hourglass Spider. May I be of any assistance?"
