Callies POV
There I lay on the floor of what looks like a giant fish bowl.  This is worst I've felt physically since coming to this world. These cuffs are sapping the life out of me because I won't exist without my chaos magic. It is what created my very being.

I don't know how they could possibly have found something this strong that is able to block my almost limitless ability. The only place something like this would have existed is in the dungeons of the Red Queens castle in Underland.

As long as these cuffs are on I will trapped and begin to wither away. This can't be what takes me out. I've been through too much and I can't leave Hatter alone. My pride is the only thing stopping me from calling out for help from SHIELD or the Avengers. By now they must have noticed my state and the fact that they haven't sent any help means that they don't care.

Does this count as animal cruelty? I suppose if I was in cat form maybe. FOCUS CHESH!! I can't focus because I don't even recognize my own mind right now.

Does this count as identity theft? STOP!! It seems I can't do this on my own. My hair has started to drain of all color and my skin is going grey.

"Help..." I struggle to whisper out, "You're killing me..."

Things are getting dark along the edges of my vision. I hear movement before unconsciousness claims me. My last thought is....

Did curiosity kill the cat?

Third person POV

Fury joined the Avengers in the room that allows you to view into the interrogation room as Cheshire was led away. Fury looked slightly smug as he ignored the others in the room and pulled up a video feed of a glass cell that resembled the one from the helicarrier onto a computer. Loki, and maybe even Thor, visibly tensed at the sight of the cell that looked like the one that caused so much trouble when they were fighting a brainwashed Loki.

Fury stepped back and allowed everyone in the room a view of the monitor. It showed a frail and sickly looking woman being tossed carelessly onto the floor of the cell. The woman moaned and struggled to roll over. The woman's whole being was draining of life and color slowly but surely. The Avengers watched in varying levels of shock and slight horror at the occurrence.

" Is that the same person we brought in?" Asked Tony in a shocked voice.

" Yes. We merely built a pair of cuffs to block her powers from herself, so that she isn't a threat at all. We didn't know what powers she may possess, other than the obvious ones, so we blocked her from everything. Though they seem to have completely incapacitated her. Oh well, she is no longer a threat. You did a good job now we no longer require your assistance, we'll handle her now." Replied Fury in a nonchalant and stern voice.

"You can't expect us to leave her like that. Those cuffs are obviously harming her." Replied Bruce Banner in a astonished voice at his carelessness for someone's well-being, even if she is a criminal.

"She's a criminal and she deserves to pay for it." Fury said sternly.

Steve Rogers was alarmed with what was occurring. They were allowing this woman to be harmed so harshly because of a invention of their own making.

" She may be a criminal but her crime doesn't match the punishment. She put away criminals that no one else was and though she did it unorthodoxly she was still getting justice for the innocent people that would have been harmed and had been harmed by the criminals she caught. Sure she stole but people who have done worse than her are receiving lesser punishments for their crimes. This has to be stopped!" States Steve as he turns and heads toward the cell.

He can hear the others behind him and Fury's yells of protest. He wasn't going to stop or slow down though, because as he was leaving the room he and everyone else in the room had heard Catwomen's pained whispers for help.

It was ringing in his ears. Drowning out everything else.

" You're killing me..."
