It had been three days, I had stayed lying on the floor staring at the ceiling, and ignoring the bread and water they had been bringing me, staying awake for 72 hours barely causing me issue with my lack of movement.
I had been watching the hellicarriers occupants via their own CCTV, watched as they failed to understand my technology, as Stark argued with Fury, the angered look on the mans face as the smug billionaire headed to my cell. I sat and looked at the door as it opened, he walked in, his face showing little of his lack of sleep, he waved his hand dismissively at me,
'No need to get up on my account' he turned to the guard, 'You can stay outside' the guard shrugged and shut the door, I smiled,
'And to what do I owe this, well I would say honour, but I don't feel it is' he shot me a smirk,
'I've been watching you' I rested my chin on the palm of my hand, tapping my fingers against my cheek,
'I know, I've been watching you, among others' he shrugged and grinned,
'Impressive, considering you have nothing to watch us on. If you're going to lie at least make it believable' I glared at him,
'Watch your tongue Stark. I have uttered no lie since our first meeting, I have only spoken what is necessary for you to know' he went and sat on the edge of the bed,
'I've watched the footage of your conversations with Fury. It was pointless asking him if you could join my team'
'I didn't ask him, I merely told him of my intention. I was aware you would find out about my request one way or another,' I gestured to the room 'and here you sit, just as I wanted' he smirked,
'So why would I let you join my team?' I stood up and stretched feeling the tension in my joints release, I looked at him, seeing him eye me appreciatively,
'Because you're intrigued, you are fascinated by my tech that you cannot even turn on, let alone begin to understand. You have no doubt seen the footage of me taking down that pathetic spy woman' he went to talk and I raised my hand for silence, 'and you remember the droids and Sofia, reason enough for you?' I raised an eyebrow at him, he stood up and took a step towards me, smug grin in place,
'That footage of you and Romanov is currently in my private collection, a nice bit of blackmail against her. You will be transferred to a holding cell in the Avengers tower this afternoon, I will be consulting with you on your tech, after your consultation has finished Fury wants you back in official SHIELD custody' he looked at the tray of untouched bread and water, 'the food will also be more appetising, I don't blame you for not touching that' I went and grabbed the glass and a piece of bread,
'I rather enjoy bread and water, I just haven't been hungry' I took a bite of the bread and washed it down with a sip of water, I nodded to the door, 'You may leave now, I see no reason for this conversation to continue for now' he sat back down smoothing imaginary creases in his suit,
'You're in no position to dismiss me' I shrugged as I laid back on the floor,
'Suit yourself, just keep your mouth shut if you're staying' I closed my eyes to try and rest before my transfer,
'I can tell you're going to be fun, another feisty girl for a challenge and I do enjoy a challenge' I shoved myself from the floor and shoved him back on the bed straddling his thighs, my hand clasped around his throat,
'End that thought right there and don't you dare let it return. That is the only warning you will get' I hissed in disgust, the door flew open,
'Remove yourself from Stark!' I looked over my shoulder to see Fury and twenty agents with their weapons trained on me. I got off him smiling,
'I had no intention of injuring the oh so delicate Stark, director, if I had you would have been much too late' I helped Stark from the bed and pulled him close to whisper in his ear, 'You have a much higher chance of bedding pirate Pete over there than me, so don't even imagine it, you will be disgusted if you do.' I shoved him toward the door, and smiled at Fury, 'See as healthy as when he entered this cell' they all left and I laid on the floor to get some rest.
