The Girl out of Time

Chapter forty five- Solitary Confinement

A/N: y'all ain't ready

———

I was strapped into one of those big white jackets that people in asylums wear. I hit my head softly against the brick wall over and over again trying to think how the hell I was going to get out of here. I looked to the door and saw two guards guarding my door. I haven't even showered since I got here. And that was a few days ago. Since the fight in the airport. Since I saw Bucky and Steve.

I carefully stood up while trying not to trip and sat down on my bed. Well it was a mattress but it'll do for now. I began to lie down until a noise caught my attention. I looked out the door to see one of the guards pointing to the tiny opening under the door to see a plate of food. I got up effortlessly and looked straight into the guards eye. I kicked the plate back to them and rolled my eyes as I went back to lie down on my mattress.

This tiny room was filled with nothing but a light and walls. The walls seemed to get longer each day causing me to scream. I looked up to the ceiling and began to think. Poor Wanda must be now strapped and traumatized due to what they did. Clint and the others must be in their own big nice cells while I'm stuck here.

Apparently, they found out that I was from an alternate universe and that's why they locked me away. Away from everyone knowing that I would tell the world what was going to happen.

Steve and Bucky must probably be beaten and Tony might even come back to this hell hole before he confronts them both in Siberia. A day has passed and I was beginning to lose hope on Steve. He wouldn't just leave me here to starve or to die even. One of the guards opened the door causing me to crawl to the far end of my tiny room as I let out a shriek of fear to see what my punishment was for today.

My punishments consisted of whipping me, punching me and other things. I saw two feet in front of me and I dared to look up to see who it was.

"Da-dad?" My voice cracked since I haven't spoken in so long.

"Sweet pea." He frowned at my state before crouching down to hug me.

He didn't care for his fancy pants or anything. I couldn't hug back since I was still strapped up. That's when I let my tears fall on his shoulder.

"Look what they did to you." His hands cupped my face and he lifted up my face so that I could see him.

"I'm so so sorry. About what happened and about how your parents died." I cried out causing him to frown even more and tears formed on his eyes.

"I know. Although Steve and I aren't on speaking terms right now. I know why you hid that secret from me. You care for me and you care for Barnes. I'm not mad at you." He said before standing up and leaving.

"Don't leave me... please.." I begged Tony but he looked at me.

"Steve will get you out of here soon." He whispered before walking out and I let out a scream.

I felt like I was losing my mind. I felt like the days were turning into years. I felt nasty and I was hungry. At least I drank the water that they gave me but it wasn't enough. When I get out of here I promise to expose the government but yet again why would that do...

*meanwhile*

Tony sat alone at the compound, he opened the package that the delivery man left, and finds an envelope with a phone inside of the package as well.

Tony then opens the letter and began to read.

"Tony, I'm glad your back at the compound. I don't like the idea of you rattling around a mansion by yourself. We all need family. The Avengers are yours, maybe more so than mine. Y/N is like your daughter and I respect that but it seems to me that you chose something over her. I've been on my own since I was 18. I never really fit anywhere, even in the army. My faith's in people, I guess. Individuals."

*back to Y/N*

I needed to find some place out of here. I think Tony must be reading a letter from Steve but yet again what if he just doesn't read it at all. I felt like a couple of months passed by and I was beginning to lose hope once again.

*back to Tony*

"And I'm happy to say that for the most part, they haven't let me down. Which is why I can't let them down either. Locks can be replaced but maybe they shouldn't. I know I hurt you Tony. I guess I thought by not telling you about your parents I was sparing you, but I can see now that I was really sparing myself, and I'm sorry. Y/N tried to warn you and I ask you, why didn't you listen? Hopefully one day you can understand. I wish we all agreed on the Accords, I really do. That's all any of us should..." Tony then put down the letter as the phone rang.

"Priority call from Secretary Ross. There's been a breach at the Raft prison." Friday alerted Tony.

"Yeah put him through." Tony told the AI before clicking on the speaker.

"Tony we have a problem." Ross informed Tony.

"Ah please hold."

"No don't——"

Tony goes back to reading the letter.

"So no matter what. I promise you, if you need us, if you need me..."

*back to Y/N*

I heard a commotion going on outside causing me to weakly look up to see the door being slammed opened. I looked up to see Bucky and Steve smiling before helping me get up. I began to cry from the happiness that I was feeling.

I was free.

Free from the torture.

"We'll be there."
