Fury sighed, reaching over the table and sliding a plain Manila folder towards her. Scottie continued to glare at the man, but extended an arm to reach out and allow herself to examine the folder in front of her.

"What's this?" She asked, holding up the first sheet of paper. Her eyes were furrowed as she looked at the paper that seemed to be more redacted black lines than actual information.

"That's your file; well, the one that everyone's read," he mused, a hand resting under his chin as he watched her look at it in confusion. Nodding to the second sheet of paper in the file, Fury knew the girl was going to need a while to process this. "And that one, that's the unredacted edition."

Scottie didn't answer as she tried to let her mind process all of the new information. She was overwhelmed with the names of people she had never heard of, with the names of drugs that she had been subjected to that she had never heard of and with previous events regarding her that she also had no knowledge over.

But there, on the bottom of the paper, was the one thing that she couldn't take her eyes off. Fury watched carefully, knowing that the girl was going to take this the hardest.

"Natasha and Clint were sent to kill me?" She asked in disbelief, not knowing that the two agents had never really told her the true extent of everything. They had always told her she was their mission, but they had never told her they were going to kill her. 

"There's more," Fury said, motioning to the rest of the redacted information that he was now making available to her. Scottie scowled as she read the paper, notching one name that stood out to her almost as if it was in bold.

"Carol Danvers," she muttered, causing Fury's eyebrows to raise slightly as the girl took an interest in the name. "That's what the HYDRA agent said before she tried to kill me. She said you were prepping me to be like her."

There was a moment of silence before Scottie felt herself begin to really get angry. She had only been partially angry before, but suddenly it was beginning to feel like her bones were on fire and that her whole life was based on a lie.

"So, you're telling me that not only were the two people who basically taught me everything I know actually meant to be my killers but that my parents were HYDRA agents who only wanted me cured because they thought I could somehow absorb energy like this woman did?" Scottie breathed, rubbing her hands together slightly to try and calm her breathing down. She knew the bands around her wrists weren't going to stop her from an outbreak.

"Scottie, I'm not really sure that you were ever sick before."

"Sorry?"

Scottie slinked into the kitchen, ignoring Steve and Natasha as they playfully bickered over whose peanut butter and jelly sandwich was nicer. Sure Natasha had precision on her side, but Steve certainly had a lot more time under his belt.

Smiling softly at them as she moved by them and towards the fridge, both of the Avengers instantly felt the mood shift slightly. They knew she had been attending a meeting with Fury about some questions the girl had for the man, but by the look on her face she certainly hadn't been expecting the answers to her questions.

"You okay?" Natasha asked, trying to keep her voice light and not sound like she was digging too much into Scottie. The red-head knew that the girl hated people trying to figure her out before she was finished processing information, but she knew that the girl staying silent could potentially end up disastrous.
