When I open my eyes all I see is gray. No bright light making me wince, just gray. I look around to see I'm in a cellar-like room. Aside from the sheet metal door, all that's surrounding me is cement. I put my hand to my forehead to feel my own body burning up and clammy. I knew it was probably from the infection that is trying to kill me every second. I get brought out of my thoughts by the door loudly squeaking.

Clark: Well, well... Look whos up.

He sets a plate of food down in front of me with two slices of plain white bread and a bowl of overcooked oatmeal. I scoot it away, and look at the floor.

Clark: Now, that's not very nice. I didn't have to bring you anything at all.

I can feel the anger start radiating off of him, but he keeps his words calm.

Clark: Not gonna talk to me, huh?  Look at you, you're shivering. Are you cold?

Y/N: No.

Clark: Ah so she does speak... How nice. Well I have someone I want you to meet. Come on in!

A man I recognize enters the room, holding Wade by the neck in a choke-hold. His eyes go wide when he sees who me.

Clark: He has an anti-power device on. Just like the ones they used to put on us at the school. Remember?

I give Wade a look of sorrow. The amount of pain he must be in right now must be awful. I can only imagine.

Y/N: Okay..?

Clark: I kidnapped his little girlfriend to get him here, then kidnapped him, got it your name out of him. He had no clue that I knew you. It was funny, really. He thought he was fucking with me, when in reality he gave me exactly what I wanted.

Wade: I'm so sorry Y-

Guard: Shut the fuck up!

The guard punches Wade in the stomach and makes him bend over in pain. Tears well in my eyes, and I discreetly look over the room to try to find anything that can help me. As I'm deep in thought I hear a clink and Wade yell.

Clark: Ah now, you have a nice little collar too.

I look down to see a anti-power collar on too.

Clark: Wade also mentioned that you had become invincible as well. Thanks for that Wade.

Wade is crying still being held by the guard and I roll my eyes.

Y/N: Wade, its fine. I promise. I've lived a long enough life. Its okay.

Clark: How sweet... Now, I'm gonna let you two be cellmates so you can watch each other die. Have a nice rest of your lives.

The guard pushes Wade forward towards me, making him fall on top of me as he and Clark leave and lock the door. I grunt as Wade pushes himself weakly off of me and lays beside me on the ground.

Y/N: How long have they had you?

Wade: I think about-

He coughs for a while before continuing

Wade: I think about a month.

Y/N: When was the last time you ate? You look awful.

Wade: Not to be rude but you don't look that great yourself. Youre more pale and sick looking than you ever were in that lab.

Y/N: Yeah well I'm fine. Here.

I scoot the food tray over to him, and he looks between me and the food.

Wade: You sure you don't want it?

Y/N: No. I'm fine. I just want to make sure you get out of here.

Wade: If I'm getting out, you're getting out.

Y/N: I wouldn't be to sure, Wade.

Wade: What are you are talking abotu, Y/N?

Y/N: Like I said before. Ive lived a long enough life.

Wade: You're not even that old!

Y/N: Im a lot older than you think, Wade.

Tony's POV
------------------------------------------------------------

I sit in the living of the compound with Morgan crying into my shirt. I just rub her back and comfort her, even though I have no idea how to make this pain go away. Its not like a little paper cut. Her mom is gone and I have no clue if we'll get her back.

Steve: Everything okay?

I look over to him, and shake my head. Everything is not okay. The love of my life is gone. And I have no clue if shes dead or alive.

Tony: No. Nothing is okay. We have to find her, Steve.

Steve: I know.

Bucky then comes running in looking slightly panicked.

Bucky: I need to tell you guys something.

He rushes over to the arm chair.

Bucky: But I dont think it would be appropriate for doll, there.

He motions to Morgan.

Tony: Right.

I carry Morgan to where Happy is and leave her with him, and walk back to Steve and Bucky.

Tony: So whats so important?

Bucky: Y/N made me promise to tell you guys something if she had ever dissapeared with a slight chance of ever returning.

Steve: What is it, Buck?

Bucky: Steve, remember when we first met Y/N and you said you recognized her?

Steve: Yeah?

Bucky: Thats because we used to know her.

Steve: What do you mean?

Bucky: Do you remember the girl that was in our friend group in high school?

Steve: Oh my god...
