"Do you swear to tell the truth, only the truth, and nothing but the truth?" A woman asked both Steve and Natasha as they stood in front of many politicians and higher ups. "Yes," they said at the same time. They sat down. "I don't know what else there is to say. I think her stopping millions from being killed makes her point," Nat said. "Well she could explain how we are expected to keep up our national and global security now that the three of you have laid waste to our intelligence apparatus." "Agent Romanoff, there are some on this council who think that you belong in a penitentiary, not mouthing off Capitol Hill." "We have a secure location for Miss Altovar," Capitol Hill spoke up again, "She is not of this world and therefore can be a threat. We would like to run a few tests on her and her abilities." "(Y/n) isn't a threat, neither is her planet, they're a peaceful people." Nat said defensively. "But I can promise they won't be if you experiment on the Princess of that planet" "What happens on the day when she doesn't want to help people anymore?" Scudder questioned, "When she decides to shapeshift into a secret service officer and kill the president? Or imitate a general and order a nuclear missile strike? This woman is a danger to global security. It would be safer to have her in our sights." Steve clenched his fist in anger. That was the one thing (Y/n) always feared about being on Earth. That they would take her, and they would experiment on her because she could shapeshift, because she was alien, and was different. "You won't arrest us, or put (Y/n) in a science lab," Nat said surely, "Because at the end of the day, you need us. We may have taken down SHIELD, but we are the most qualified to save the world. And (Y/n) may be the biggest danger, but that also means she's the biggest danger to the people like HYDRA." "If you want to arrest us, arrest us," Steve added, "You'll know where to find us."
