Lilly's POV
"Hail Hydra" I repeated mechanically as the roar of the same words filled the room around me, I was stood amongst the large crowd that filled the hall looking up at the leader who was giving the senior members of Hydra a pep talk. It had finally come to the end and people began to fill out giving me a wide birth not getting to close to me for which I was very grateful, I began walking to the front of the hall to meet with the male who had just given what was apparently a valid reason for millions of people to die, I hopped onto the stage and approached him and he turned opening his arms wide "my darling Lilly" i walked into his open arms and embraced him pulling him close he stepped back and held me at arms length cupping one of my cheeks in his large hand "you've grown so much my daughter, I can hardly believe it" I smiled at him "time does fly by doesn't it father" "indeed it does my dear now run along you must train you shall be given your next mission soon" i nodded and kissed the man I called father on the cheek before turning to leave as i was about to jump from the stage he called to me "you must be grateful for the gift that Hydra has given you Lilly, you have abilities that many do not have and never will have, you are the chosen one, many went through the same process and none has survived before or after you, never forget that you are special Lilly" I nodded and gave him a smile before turning and letting it drop from my face, his words and praise had meant less and less as I had grown older as I learnt the lies and I began to resent not just Hydra but my father as well. I walked through the halls the people moving rapidly out of my way as I did, most were sacred of me which I was grateful for as it gave me some semblance of privacy. Instead of going to training I returned to my room.
It was now or never I told myself as I pulled on a thick coat a hoody and sunglasses I had to leave, the intel I had been giving to what remained of shield wasn't going to be enough to do anything to save the millions of lives that were now at risk. Taking one last look around my room or rather the prision I had grown up in before locking the door sliding the window open I looked out seeing the six story drop and the security cam half way down. I needed to make sure I took it out as I fell or there was no chance of me getting off of the base. I crouched in the window sill before jumping as I fell the cold wind of the winter air rushed past me as I raced through the air I punched the security camera clean off of the wall and flipped landing in a crouch and rolling to ease the impact off the fall. I ran into the cover of some bushes, I looked at the watch on my wrist and gave myself a time limit of twenty minutes I needed to clear the grounds of Hydra in twenty minutes or risk being killed. My escape would be seen as the most horrible betrayal of hydra especially considering my father ran the whole bloody operation. The base had round the clock security patrols and I needed to time it just right so I could escape. I focused myself and in my mind told myself that this was just another job, in ten minutes I had reached the perimeter of the base but didn't let myself relax, I couldn't afford to it could mean the difference between life and death and I'd be damned if I was going to allow this day to be the day I died. I climbed the perimeter fence and then bolted as fast as I could away from the prison I had grown up in.
Time Skip
Well three weeks later and I had finally made it to Manhattan, New York I had figured my best bet of finding captain Rogers was to find at least one of the Avengers and just my luck who was most likely to be available, none other than a mister Tony Stark I had had to keep myself completely hidden Hyra would be after me now and ever street camera or security camera could be hacked so I had literally ben keeping my head down to avoid anything that might tip them off as to where of my whereabouts. I was currently sat in a small rather shabby diner and had ordered pancakes and a drink, it had been three days sense I had eaten last and I hadn't drunk since yesterday. The waitress came over and put my pancakes down in front of me and the drink, I pulled two twenties out of my pocket and placed it in her hand and said quietly "anyone asks I was never here" she eyed the cash and smiled before wandering off to see to another table. I scoffed down the food, had several gulps of my drink before standing up and leaving, as soon as I left I got swept along in the crowds flowing down the busy street. Then the Avengers tower came into view, looking up at it relief and nervousness washed over me, i picked up my pace ever so slightly heading towards what I hoped would be friends. Entering the building I walked up to reception and smiled at the male reception worker "I have an appointment with mr Stark" your name, i reached inside my jacket and pulled out my gun and resting it on the coiner part of the desk "does it matter?" I asked politely giving him a smile. His eyes opened comically wide before he shook his head,"ill let him know he has company" "thank you" i said as I turned and pressed the button to the lift, with a ding it arrived i stepped inside pressing the button to go the the top floor. Arriving I was met face to face with Mr Stark, "Hello" i said stepping out of the lift and stepping past him, I turned to face him again and asked "where can I find Captain Rogers?" "and why would you want to find Steve?" he asked, he poured himself a glass of scotch and offered me one with an extend of his hand i shook my head. "I have some information for him concerning Hydra and he seems most qualified to handle the job" Stark looked at me seriously as I mentioned Hydra distrust immediately covered his features "and how did you come by this information?" i sighed "I'm not going to lie, there is no way you will ever trust me other wise, I was Hydra" his face darkened "not by choice" I added quickly "what do you mean not by choice?" "well its a long story" "Iv'e got time."
It took a long time to explain to Stark about my situation and even then he didn't even believe me as far as I could tell but he agreed to contact Captain Rogers and ask him to see me. He was on the phone and I turned to look out of the window at new york bellow and then everything went black.
