AN: Marvel owns almost everything. I'm sorry if some characters seem too OC.

Thanks for all your favs and follows. I highly appreciate it. Please review as well. I really wanna know what you think and what you want. One sentence is enough, please (puppy eyes). No flashbacks here. Sorry for mistakes.

Okay, thanks again and now I will let you read. Enjoy!

Italics= thoughts

"Steve Rogers," he said.

"Figured as much. I'm Alethea Haskins. Nice to meet you," she finished with a smile.

"What a unique name," Steve said and tilted his head to the side.

"Well, you can call me Thea if you want," she provided.

"If you don't mind." She wasn't sure who was blushing more.

She sat back down and he copied her actions. There was an awkward silence for a while. She couldn't bare it anymore so she decided to speak up first.

"So, captain, tell me..." she didn't have a chance to finish because he suddenly interrupted her.

"Call me Steve." He turned crimson red. After few seconds of painful silence he stuttered?

"I mean... that... it would be just fair if I call you Thea and you call me Steve."

What was that? She didn't want to be mean or something but it felt right to be honest with him.

"You know, i can tell when you're lying." He blushed even more than she thought possible.

"Oh," was all he said.

"Sorry, it's just that I can't control my power that well," she apologized genuinely.

"Well, if you don't mind, I was wondering what powers exactly you have, of course if..."

"Steve," she was the one who interrupted this time, "it's okay. I expected this question. I will tell you, just promise me you won't tell anyone. I tried hard to keep it a secret."

"Your secret is safe with me. Don't worry."

"So where to start. Firstly I have no idea how i got them. And i have two powers, very different from each other. I could sense the lies since I was born. It's like I feel... i dunno. I just know when someone is lying or skipping something. People even tend to tell me the truth without thinking." Steve noticed that she was no longer here. She stared into wall, remembering her life, she occasionally half smiled. Steve was watching her intently. He let her think. In place like this, good and happy memories could only help.

She looked back at him. Half smile no longer on her face.

"It's great ability but it comes with price. Imagine small girl, being praised for her drawing, but she know that her teacher was lying. Or teenage girl whose friends swore to never talk behind her back." She paused again, needing a break so she wouldn't start crying.

"Sorry. It's just, it made me lonelier and it took me a while to accept that people will lie to me constantly and i couldn't do a thing about it."

"Enough with that sad story. My other power is kinda cool. I can move objects. I developed this one when I was a teenager. My name is sort of accurate. Alethea means truth and Noa, my middle name, means movement. Mum told me she had a dream when i was still in her belly. She said that a woman sat beside her in a park and told her that the name would be perfect so they named me after a dream. Crazy right?" she finished with a smile.

Steve was a bit taken aback. He just asked what her powers were and she told him her whole story. He didn't even think that she would answer him.

"Now. Enough about me. Really," she said but she didn't sound annoyed.

"Tell me, how did you find yourself here?"

"I neglected the planning part. We acted too quickly. It was my own fault. I might have endangered my team. What was I thinking? If he finds those weapons…" He started mumbling to himself.

"Steve? Hey! Listen to me. Your team, they are part of the Avengers as well, am I right?" She waited for his answer.

"Yeah," he muttered.

"In that case you have nothing to be afraid of. I'm sure you've dealt with things far worse than agent Smith," she assured him but he was no longer looking sadly to the ground, no, he stood up abruptly.

"Smith? How do you know him?" he commanded. It was like he turned to another person. From socially awkward boy to fearless Captain America.

"What?" she stammered.

Cap was scaring her right now. He didn't like it but if it meant that she would tell him what she knows, he had to take that chance.

"Why did you call him agent Smith? Do you know something about him?"

"No! No! I don't know his real name! You have to believe me!" He was confused now.

"So why are you calling him that?!"

"It's just a name. He is like that agent from a movie." He looked puzzled so she added: "Matrix, you know?"

"What?" Cap asked in absolute confusion. 'Damn. Of course he doesn't know Matrix! You stupid, he was frozen for years!'

"I just wanted to call him something, and he resembles the agent from that movie called Matrix. I have no idea who he is. I swear! Don't hurt me, please!" she gulped.

He didn't realize how close they were. He was towering over her. She looked so tiny. If he wanted, he could hit her any moment.

The guilt struck him. He felt terrible, ashamed of himself. She was kidnapped from her normal life. He was used to crime, violence and all these hostage situations but she wasn't. She probably just wanted to stay sane so she came up with name for the unknown man who was holding her captive. And he was scaring her.

She noticed the sudden change. He was looking around nervously. He couldn't look her in the eyes.

"Steve?" she asked cautiously.

He finally glanced at her, but his eyes didn't reach hers.

"I… I. I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to be so harsh. I want to keep you safe but how can I do that when I am chained and I know nothing about this people." He didn't even know why he told her that. It was just a thought. He would have never said it out loud. They both turned scarlet. She knew it was because of her. Her powers did this to people. They unintentionally said their deepest thoughts.

Before they could say anything, the door opened. The well-known agent entered.

"Oh, hello again. Why are you both blushing so hard? Were you doing some dirty stuff?" Cap's face reddened.

"No wonder you have such a thoughts. Lovely girl and already tied up?" She shuddered.

Confusion crossed agent's face but he quickly recovered.

"That stupid powers of yours, making me say things I don't mean to." She was about to remind him how he wanted her to interrogate cap but she kept her mouth shut.

"Don't worry. Soon, I will know everything about them." The colour drained out of her face. This is it. She had nightmares about this. Doctors, labs, experiments. She feared it for a long time but never actually thought it possible but she was wrong.

Two other agents entered and took a hold of her. Cap struggled with his chains.

"Don't bother Captain, you can't help her." Agent smirked.

She was fighting them, trying to free herself.

"Let me go!" she screamed.

"Honey, please be quiet or I will drug you," agent threatened. She didn't want to be even more vulnerable so she eventually stopped fighting them.

She was dragged to the huge lab. It was white, clean and smelled like hospital. There were also no widows. 'Are we underground?' she wondered. There were two male doctors and one woman lying in hospital bed. She had red hair, but nothing like hers. Hers were a pale shade of red, almost blond or orange in different lights. This girl had them red like cherries. It was a big contrast to her pale skin.

She looked unconscious. There were wires attached to her chest and a needle in her arm. She was likely one of theirs experiments.

She was mentally trying to prepare herself for what was coming. Pain. Probably a lot of pain.

One of doctors approached her with a sick smile plastered on his face.

"Seems like subject number two has arrived."

Maybe she thought she was ready, but she wasn't. She was far from that. Her mind was working like crazy, finding any way out of this mess, but she couldn't. She was about to give up when she heard small explosion and few gun shots. She immediately threw herself to the ground. She didn't want to get into crossfire which, from the outside sounds, was getting closer. One of doctors ran to the other woman. He unwired her and hurried with her bed to other room. Both agents ran out and joined the fight which could be heard behind the door now. The last person remaining in room with her was that bastard of a doctor. He held a syringe in his hand, ready to inject her with whatever shit that was in it. Fortunately, he didn't have a chance to do anything because something small hit him right in the chest and he fell to the ground, trembling in electric shock. She quickly turned to her back and stared at redhead in spandex suit. 'Man, how many redheads are here?' she thought dumbly. She felt exhausted. It was one hell of the day.

"I'm friend of Steve's," the woman explained and Thea felt finally safe. Then it clicked her. This must be Black Widow. 'Yeah, Natasha, that's her name.' She trusted her and followed her out.

"Stay behind me and please, don't get yourself killed," she insisted. Alethea gladly obligated.

Natasha knocked out two agents on their way. After few corridors they met the others, meaning Cap and Falcon.

"Are you two alright?" Cap asked and glanced at her, looking for any injuries. When he found none he seemed satisfied. He curtly nodded.

"It's time to go, before the back-up shows." Other Avengers agreed and turned to move but she didn't.

"What's wrong?" Natasha inquired.

"There was a girl in a lab. The doctor took her with him. We must help her!" she begged.

They didn't need much time to think about it. Cap immediately gave orders.

"Me, Tasha and Thea will go out. You Sam go find her. Quickly. We will take care of the back-up if they show up."

"On it," Falcon answered and hurried to find the girl. Natasha and Thea followed Steve.

He ran through few corridors when he stumbled across the labs. He knew which one was the girl in before the doctor took her, according to the unconscious men lying around. He entered the lab number four and saw only one door leading out. He made his way there cautiously. Inside the room was an empty bed. This must be the bed she was lying in. The sheets were still creased. He looked around but no one was in there. He was just going to look for some hidden escapes when someone hit him over the head. It stung like a bitch but he remained conscious. He turned around to see the most stunning woman he has ever seen. She used his hesitation and kicked him right between the legs.

"Why?" was all he said as he doubled in pain.

He didn't see the doctor with a gun in his hand.

"Great work subject one. You just kicked the only hope you have for your escape. Now, I have to drug you again so don't fight, you will make it worse. I will take care of dear Falcon here," he said.

"What? But…" she didn't know what to say.

As doctor was about to inject her, Falcon stepped in.

"No!" He threw himself in front of her and dodged the syringe which fell to the ground. Doctor was quick to attack again and this time he used his gun.

He shot Sam in the stomach and laughed. He thought he won but the girl was quick and picked up the syringe. She injected him and doctor fell numb to the floor.

Sam was already on the floor, bleeding out quickly. 'At least, the last think I will see is her. Such a beautiful being. Like an angel,' he thought.

"No, no, no! What have I done?" She sobbed.
