It was supposed to be easy, in and out. But...I didn't count on Jarvis noticing me. Jarvis was very polite about turning the alarm on and telling on me. Tony found me in an empty room, apparently I didn't go high enough. He started to stalk forward to grab my wrist, but I had a ring that contains trippy mushroom spores ,I took a deep breath and breathed out spreading the spores into Tony's face. Now the spores aren't harmful , but it's one hell of a trip.

Once Tony was down, I made my way to the elevator. I pressed the button to go up when the doors open, revealing two super soldiers. Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes, 'oh shit... '

"Language". I look up and back to the ground then I break into a run back the way I came only to run into Tony.

"Hey fellas, I better get going..." I tried to walk around them but to no avail. Tony cocked an eye brow at me saying," And where do you think you're going?". I tried backing up when I bumped into something solid. I forgot about the two super soldiers. "Ummm...h-hi boys. We can work this out like adults right?" They grabbed my wrists and cuffed me.

"Ah ah ah! Not so fast! What are you looking for? Although I am impressed that such a beautiful woman like you would be working for Hydra. " He said eyeing me.

"Eyes up here Romeo. Thank you for the compliment Stark but I'm not telling you Jack, now bite me!" I snarled my nose up at him and hmmphed . That got me a cell, in the tower. Freedom is not on my side today...

I was stuck in a white cell, no windows, no furniture, no anything. It reminded me of my 'room' back at Hydra, small and confining. I can't stand this, the silence, it was deafening. And everywhere I looked around I could see those vile nurses and doctors. Wanting to drive needles and scalpels into my flesh just to watch it grow back. I shivered as I got sucked into a relapse. The room got cold, the lights dimmed I saw him. The main scientist, I was his favorite lab rat, it was torture. Being strapped down to a metal gurney, the burning in my veins grew until I couldn't hold the screams in any longer. I cried and screamed and begged for mercy ,until someone scooped me into their arms. They kept calling my name , Rowan... Rowan.. Rowan ...

I slowly came to, my glasses were gone so everything was blurry, I couldn't make out who was soothing me. I know this much, that's the first I felt safe in years. "My glasses..." I mumbled . I found them on the ground beside me. I slipped them on and looked at the face of my savior. It was Bucky. I looked over his shoulder at Steve, a bruise forming on his cheek, as well as Bucky's.

"I'm sorry..I-I'm so sorry... Please don't hurt me please just leave me alone." My mind was still hazy from the flashback .

"We aren't gonna hurt ya doll, promise. Why would we? Calm down, that's it. Shhhh." Bucky coaxed me with a soothing voice, my eyes slid shut and my vision faded to black. The last thing the voice said was,' You are a fool.' ...

I woke in a hospital bed, a bag of fluid hanging beside me. I laid in, the surprisingly, comfy bed and stared at the ceiling raking my brain on how to get out. When the door opened, in walks Dr. Banner.

"Hello Miss Willow, how are you feeling? You were dehydrated, lacking a couple vitamins and you appear to be covered in scars. What, may I ask, happened to you? You don't look over 18. I also happened to notice your DNA had somehow been altered." He explained as he shut the door behind himself. I went to speak but my throat was too dry.

"You must be thirsty, here. You have been out for about a week. As to why we haven't discovered yet." As he explained more I took a couple sips of water then stopped and set it down. He saw I was hesitant to say.

"Go ahead. Doctor - patient confidentiality. Go on, if you are comfortable." I gulped then took a breath.

" I-i was abducted by Hydra when I was young. They started something called 'Project Reaper' *cough* they said it was the key to immortality. They found me and tried serum after s-serum , they liked to t-test on me I didn't die like the others did after the first injection. They were successful, when I turned 18, they had perfected it. So they t-tortured me going as far as cutting my arm off. Just to watch it grow back. " *Cough cough*

I grabbed my cup again and took some more sips. I put the cup back down and continued.

"By 15 I could hack the FBI in minutes. This was my first mission and I fucked up." I burst into a fit of coughing.

"That's enough for now Miss Willow." "Call me Rowan."

"Alright Rowan. Someone will be here in about an hour to check on you." He said as my eyes fluttered shut.
