The door opens momentarily as food is slid in. I don't bother moving to get it. I wasn't hungry. I was still in the same position as when I came back, under that damn light.

"You can't keep her there!" I hear someone yell. I could tell it was Tony.

"I'm afraid it's not up to you," Fury replies to him.

"Yeah but it can be up to the government," Someone else says, this voice was Kristen.

"Agent Rose, know your place," Fury tells her.

"No no, I want to hear this," Steve says. I wonder who else was there....eh I don't care.

"I'm sure Cap will listen. I'm sure you know how the Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution states: "Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted,'" she says. Steve doesn't say anything so I'm guessing he just nodded.

"Yeah well I'm pretty sure torturing her without our consent, the government's consent, her consent, goes against all that," Kristen grits.

"Am I seriously hearing this?! You tortured that girl. SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHO TO GO TO AND WHO TO TRUST AND YOU FUCKING TORTURED HER?! YOU THINK SHE'S GOING TO FUCKING TRUST YOUR PIRATE ASS OR US AFTER THAT?! LOOK AT HER! SHE'S BEEN IN THE SAME POSITION FOR 2 FUCKING WEEKS NOW! NO FOOD!" Tony yells.

"Let's not lose our heads," Bruce says with a nervous tone.

"I agree with Banner. But what you've done isn't legal either....director," Steve says.

"You expect me to let that girl who destroyed Las Vegas out free?" Fury asks.

"She didn't kill anyone. Sorry sir but I side with Cap on this," Natasha says. The whole team was probably there.

"Loki killed 80 people and he's walking free while she killed 0 and is in that cage," Clint speaks up. Now only Thor left.

"He is only free because Tony requested it on behalf of (y/n). If it were up to me he'd be in there too," Fury says with distaste.

"Can we focus on the real topic here?" Kristen asks. Can I be left alone?

"Yes we can and the decisions is a no! She will not be leaving that cell!" Fury says. I'm fine with that, I'm going to die soon so why not stay here a bit more.

"Fine, you can say that to the Supreme Court," Tony says. If the good memories of him were true then he'd probably be flicking off Fury. I hear a bit of shuffling and muttering.

"Wait," Fury says.

"Change your mind?" Steve asks.

"Loki's handcuffs go on her, and I get to have a small chat with her as well," Fury says.

"Agreed," Natasha says quickly.

"Nat we didn't even think about it clearly," Clint tells her.

"It's a take or leave it situation. We can't waste time thinking," She replies.

'I'd rather have you leave me,' I mumble in my head.

"I'll get the handcuffs," Bruce offers. Along with his steps I hear more so I'm guessing the others left too.

"Get your lazy ass up," Fury says as he walks into the cell. My muzzle gives a 'beep' and falls off. As he walks closer to me I can't help but begin shaking. I felt the need to defend myself but it would be useless.

I slowly get up into a sitting position, whimpering as I do. I was afraid of what he might do to me if I didn't listen. I have a small flashback to the needles in my skin and try not to have a panic attack.

"Look at me when I speak," he grits, grabbing my hair and pushing my head back so my eyes meet his. I try to get his hand off but it's no use. After a very short while....I simply gave up. I couldn't do it anymore.

"Yes sir," I say in my raspy voice. He lets go and I fall back a bit.

"The next time you pull a stunt like in LA, I'll be doing more than what happened at The Fridge," he states. I keep my gaze low and nod.

After the torture, I've realized how important obedience is in this world and this just proved my point further. Being obedient means I won't get hurt, being obedient means I'll be safe.

"Good," he says and leaves. The door remains open and in a few moments the rest of them file in.

'I'm going to get hurt, I'm going to be punished,' I think. I knew they wouldn't but my mind couldn't help but think that. I tremble even more in front of their presence.

"Hey," Natasha says. I jump a bit at her large tone and push myself away.

"Are you fucking serious?" Tony asks her with a groan. Why...why are they so loud?

"Guys focus!" Steve commands. I jump a bit again and cram myself into the corner like before.

"Hey you're scaring her!" Clint tells him.

"Stop fucking screaming!" Tony tells him as well.

"Who's screaming now?!" Steve asks him. Loud, so loud.

'Please be quiet, I'll listen...just quiet down,' I think to myself. I bring my knees up and put my hands on my ears, trying to block the yelling.

"Everyone shut up!" Kristen says. They quiet down and my violent shaking stops a bit.

"Everyone please leave," someone says. I couldn't figure out who since it was muffled. I see them leave from the corner of my eye and one person stays. He starts walking towards me and I try to move back as I could. When he stops in front of me I bring my hands up.

"I'm not going to hurt you," he says softly. It was Bruce. No he was, everyone is going to hurt me. I was made to be hurt.

"I'm going to put these on you ok?" He asks. I don't reply and stay where I am.

"Wow did you make these?" He asks. I quickly look over and see him examining the magnets. I give the tiniest nod and put my hands on my knees.

"That's amazing. It takes talent to make something like this, and without being provided material as well," He compliments. I look to him and point at myself and then make a thumbs up sign. Asking if I did good.

"Yes it's very good," he says with a small smile, "now can I put these on?"

How did I know they didn't do anything to the cuffs and they'd hurt me? What if they're taking me back to The Fridge and the cuffs are so I don't escape? Either way I have to listen, if I'm not obedient then they'll hurt me.

I slowly put my arms out and he lightly puts them on, trying not to touch me as much as he could.

"Good job, now stand up so we can leave," Bruce says with a smile. He takes my hand and helps me stand. When I stand my legs give out and I fall back down. He brings his hand down and I flinch back. I fell, I didn't do what he asked, god he's going to hit me now....
