Chapter one, how they found me
I sat on my bed, my legs crossed and my eyes closed. I knew they would come for me again and this time I was ready, this time I would use my voice. I had never intentionally used it before, I didnt want to hurt anyone. But they left me with no choice. They wanted to use my voice and make me into a weapon of mass distruction and all I could do to stop them was fight. Speak.
The door opened, my eyes opened a second later. They send the same person, a girl about my age dressed in black with a octupus emblame on her shoulder. I wouldnt let her take me, all I could do was hope she was attracked to women because that would be my only rescue.
"Come with us" the girl said, "I know you're scared but we can help you control your powers."
This was it, the moment I had to speak for the first time in fifteen years "Dont come any closer" I said, my voice sounding rough and shaky.
It didnt work, the woman walked towards me. Hydra had been smart enough to send a straight woman to capture me. I got off my bed, ready to run. My heart was racing in my chest and I felt my hands shaking. The woman slowly walked towards me and I tried to run past her, but I felt her hand grabbing my wrist. I tried to pull back, but her grib tightend. I screamed for help, but no one heard me. I tried to get away with everything I had, kicking the woman everywhere I could. Fear rushed over me like a dark wave and I knew that I didnt stood a chance against a trained agent.
But just as I was about to give up, I heard people running towards my room. More hydra I supposed. But moments later I was proven wrong as a asian woman approached us. She wasnt hydra, she was SHIELD.
The SHIELD woman attacked the hydra one and they fought for a long time, but the SHIELD woman was stronger and eventually won. The woman took my arm and pulled me with her abort a airplane that was on the roof of the madhouse they had locked me in.
The woman didnt say a word which was fine for me, if she didnt speak then she wouldnt notice my silence and she wouldnt ask questions that I couldnt answer.
As soon as we got on the plane she left me alone and minutes later I could feel the device going into the air. I looked around, unsure what to do and I couldnt ask anyone for help.
A man walked to me, he seemed to be old enough to be my father and his eyes looked even older, wiser, like he had seen many things.
"Elena Steel?" he asked, I nodded afraid to speak.
"My name is agent Coulson" the man said "Welcome to SHIELD"
I nodded again and just hoped he wouldnt see my silence as a rude or crazy thing.
"You dont have to speak" Coulson said with a soft, compassionate smile "We know about your power and we want to help you control it."
