"i can't believe this is even happening right now!" I exclaimed as i placed my coffee cup down on the kitchen counter. "come on Y/N, it'll be funny!" Sam said with a chuckle and i rolled my eyes at him. "i won't do it if you don't want me too" Wanda said with a sly smile and i couldn't help but give in to her. Since i was the only person that hadn't been on the receiving end of Wanda's mind games, Natasha came up with the great idea to put me through it. "please be nice to me, make me see nice things" i said with puppy eyes and Wanda laughed as Nat rubbed her hands together excitedly. "i need you to stay calm" Wanda said and i nodded as i stood opposite her. She raised her hands and i began to see red twinkles in the air. Everything became extremely light and fuzzy. I could hear the faint laughter of Sam and Natasha's laughter as i began smiling. "she looks like she's high on drugs" Sam said laughing which made me stupidly giggly.

------------

The surroundings around me suddenly changed into a rather large house that i recognised instantly. My enjoyment levels went from 100 to -1 really fast. I began to panic as i saw the boarded up windows and the derelict furniture covered with dust sheets. There were slight beams of light squeezing in from the boarded up windows but not enough to take away the abandoned, dusty look.

------------

I span around instantly, hearing the floorboards creak beneath me. I was instantly reminded of the constant fear and paranoia i felt while i was here and it all came rushing back to me. This was the place my kidnappers took me about a year ago. They'd grabbed me on my way home from the grocery store, finding out that i was out by myself without the protection of Tony or Steve like i normally had. They trusted me to stay safe and i failed them.

"look who's awake" a lowl growl came echoing around the room. Before i knew it, a loud sob came from the back of my throat before i slapped my hand to cover it. Warm tears rolled down my cheeks, clouding my vision. All it took was his voice to cause that much of a reaction from me. My hands began to tremble and i felt weak. I frantically looked around as adrenaline began to fuel my fight or flight instincts. I broke out into a half hearted run, my legs not being able to steady me properly. I reached the front door and frantically twisted the door, but nothing happened. It was bolted closed. Just like it was before. I heard footsteps coming from the hallway behind me and i turned to see a tall, big shadow slowly walking towards me. It was him. The same boots making the same sound on the squeaky floorboards. I burst into tears, screaming and pounding on the door in desperation. "HELP ME! SOMEBODY! PLEASE! IM IN HERE" I shouted out. I was crying to heavily i could barley breath. My back was pinned against the door as the man was almost here. I shook my head as i tried to run past him, but he grabbed my arm so tightly i helped out in pain. He wrapped his hand around my throat and pinned me up against the door, lifting me off the ground so my oxygen supply was severely limited. I thrashed my feet back and forth but he wasn't easing his grip. I began to pull at his hand as my vision got dark spots and my lungs were burning. "you thought you'd escaped me? guess i'll just have to haunt your dreams instead" he muttered into my ears with a low chuckle and he released my neck and i dropped to my hands and knees on the floor, gasping for air.

--------------

I felt two pairs of arms on my back and i turned around out of instant, punching one in the face and grabbed the others' arm and flipping them over, them landing on their back with a thump. "Y/N!" I heard somebody shout. I looked up to see Sam nursing a bleeding lip and Wanda laying on the floor. My eyes widened as i realised what had just happened. "what the hell happened here?!" Tony exclaimed angrily. "what happened in there?!" Nat exclaimed angrily to Wanda. "i don't know! it's her head, i guess it brought back some sort of terrible memory" Wanda said sadly. "i thought you could control it" Nat hissed at Wanda. "i did to start with but something blocked me out, it took a lot of power to get her back" Wanda exclaimed, standing up and leaning on the kitchen bar. "Y/n, can you hear me?" Steve asked, waving his hand in front of my face. I felt incredibly scared, my mind was in shatters. Before i knew what i was doing, i grabbed Steve's hand and twisted it backwards, then grabbing ahold of his arm, kicking his knees out and he landed on the floor with a thump. He grunted lowly as he looked up at me. "y/n, common, it's me, Steve!" He mumbled out and it didn't register on my face. I knew these people were my closest friends, the ones i trusted with my life, yet my body was in over ride. "y/n" I heard Tony's calm voice call out to me. He stood there, arms held out in front of him. "talk to me huh? we always talk" Tony said calmly and i slowly lowered my defence. "you come to me okay, i'll be right here, i won't move" he said and i scanned around the room to see lots of concerned faces. I realised at this point tears were still streaming down my face and my breathing was extremely fast. I looked down at my hands and as the reality of the situation began to hit me, my hands began shaking. I swallowed the lump in my throat as my mind tried to repress that memory once more. "Tony" i managed to speak with my now raspy and sore throat. "yeah, it's me Kid, common" he said and i took a step towards him, lowering my defensive stance and lowering my shoulders. I began to walk to him but before i got there, my legs gave way beneath me and my knees buckled, i fell to the ground as Tony was at my side instantly. "it's okay, you're alright" he said and slowly wrapped his arms around me. I began to sob into his shoulder like i did after the actual incident. I was kidnapped and tortured for information on all the Avengers for days before they managed to find me. However it was the worst experience of my life, i had more cuts and bruises than i though possible, not to mention the huge psychological effect it had. I had nightmares for months after, not to mention wouldn't let anyone come near me, apart from Tony that was. When he found me he promised to looked after me, apologising for not being there. He felt somewhat responsible for the incident even tho it wasn't his fault. He'd always been extremely protective over me, he was one of my closest friends and my mentor. "come on, let's get you back to your room" Tony said and helped me to my feet, which were still unsteady.

-------------

"you IDIOTS!" Tony shouted angrily, looking at Nat, Wanda and Sam. They all hung their heads in shame, especially Wanda. "what even went through your heads to think of this! I expected more from you Romanov, you went through this" Tony said with a disappointed tone. "i'm so sorry, i had no idea" Sam said sadly and Tony didn't respond. "it took her months to even be around people again, allow people near her or to trust people. You've just set her back once more" Tony said before storming out.

--------------

I sat on my bed, staring at the wall in front of me. As the flashbacks began to crawl back in, i shook my head to try and get them out of my head. I sighed heavily as i managed to stand up off my bed and change into some more comfortable clothes, such as my hoodie and leggings. I went through the motions, but was extremely distant from my head. I got into my bed almost instantly and laid down on my side, staring into thin air. I heard my door open with a slow creek and i felt the bed dip besides me. "do you need anything?" Tony asked me softly and i shook my head. "thank you for talking me down, tell Sam and Wanda i'm sorry for hurting them" i mumbled the last part, feeling insanely guilty. "they're the ones who ought to be sorry" Tony said and i shook my head. "but i still chose to do it. I knew the risks but i still did it anyway" i said bluntly and Tony sighed. "try and get some sleep, FRIDAY will be on standby incase you need anything" Tong said as he stood up. "thank you, for everything" i said, turning around briefly to look at him. He smiled and squeezed my hand tightly before walking out of my room and leaving me to eventually fall into a deep sleep, thankfully untroubled by horrendous memories.
