Darilyn Barton Chronicles.

chapter six - how did we end up out here ?

Natasha dressed in her   black widow mission gear and a warm red winter coat steers Darilyn (who's now minus her black and silver Stark Industries over the head hoody which had been left in the van she and Tony had been taken away in) down the grey and red freshly painted corridor. Natasha was concerned the teenager was going to freak out at any possible moment. 

 she and Tony had both been taken by H.Y.D.R.A.  36 hours ago.

 after leaving a science museum one fine sunny afternoon, he'd promised to take her there as he knew a guy working in there that was all about stars and planets and she was currently obsessed with learning about white dwarf stars and what created them.

it was supposed to be a fun filled science stuff day for them.it wasn't.

  Tony was behind them nursing a broken wrist close to his chest .

 the H.Y.D.R.A. agents had  injected some suspicious looking dark green fluid into the teenager 's arm writing down notes on a clipboard after they'd done so.

 she'd screamed obscenities at the scientist as he neared her, her dark brown hair becoming disheveled the more she thrashed about on the table( she was tied down to a desk with straps of some kind) as he'd injected her. while all Tony could do was watch on helplessly as he'd been strapped to a chair being questioned by a woman agent of H.Y.D.R.A. 

Tony was both proud of the kid for being so defiant while being held against her will while also being super worried those assholes would hit the kid to either cow her down or to make him feel helpless either way he couldn't have that happen. he was freaked they'd just injected her with something but he had to keep his poker face on.

 he had to wait for them to escape, she was clearly going to be incapacitated at some point.

  the woman agent of H.Y.D.R.A. who clearly had no idea how to interrogate someone was now watching him as he looked over at Darilyn.

 she wondered who the kid was to him.

 she hadn't bothered to find out and now she regretted it , she could have used it to her advantage in her interrogation.

 she filed that thought away for later.

Tony had given the kid a code word, a while back and figured he might as well use it "hey kid, I could really go for a MANGO smoothie right now .how about you ?" he asked hoping that she was OK.

even though she was drowsy she'd picked up on it.

 she'd slowly nodded her head and tried not to laugh as she felt the effects of the dark green liquid coursing through her body.it made her feel really warm like the sensation of drinking a piping hot cup of coffee.

 he'd waited until the opportune moment when the scientist had left the room and the H.Y.D.R.A. woman had gone for a file folder before he tried to break through his bonds tying him to the chair he was sat on.

 he knew Natasha would hunt them down as she'd been expecting them home hours ago.
