I spend another two hours guarding the captives, and then Hawkeye comes in and takes over. I spend the first five minutes watching them. Hawkeye does the same thing I do, walking around, asking basic questions. Before he took over I informed him of the information I had gathered, what information I gave away. Jamie was seventeen, Aaron was eighteen, Drake was seventeen (the other one I knocked out.) they are trained assassins and have been with the program since they were twelve. The program is unknown. He smiled when I told him my name was Huntress. After that I went to find everyone else. Black Widow asked what I learned, I told her what I told Hawkeye.
"Huntress?" she said with a grin.
I shrug, "hey, you know."
She just chuckled. "What were their names again?"
"Jamie, Aaron and Drake."
She nodded, "Got it. Any clues on the program?"
"Obviously a spy network, not sure which, no clue who they take orders from. So our only clue is the idiot that yelled "director!" But considering the spy seemed more…annoyed, as if fighting a giant blue chick with dual swords wasn't in the job description."
Black Widow nodded, "Yeah, I automatically thought of Fury."
May turn to nod, "I agree, he is the first to mind. But it could always be a false trail. Best not to show suspicion yet. If he is the enemy, there's no need to give him a head start on us."
"Yep, that would defeat the whole purpose of spy capture and interrogation, considering the purpose is to get a step ahead." Stark said walking up to us.
Wasp spoke up as well, "Hmm, we should probably interrogate them soon, before the information becomes out dated."
Gi-Ant man just nods, engulfed in Starks leftover junk and research still scattered about the abandoned facility.
I shake my head; he's more scientist than superhero. But hey, whatever works, right?
"So who's up for first round of interrogations?" Black Widow asks.
"How about the spies go first?" Panther says, "Amethyst, Natasha and Clint."
Captain America adds, "Amethyst? No offense but she's a bit young to interrogate spies."
I frown and say in a dangerously quiet, "I've been through just as much as the rest of you. I'll be fine."
He puts his hands up, as if in surrender.
Panther quickly adds, "If she has trouble, she ask. Right?"
I nod. Not that I'll need it, I was trained by SHEILD, too, remember?
I head back to the room where Hawkeye and the captives are, followed closely by Black Widow. Hawkeye nods though the glass when he sees us.
"It's time already?" Hawkeye asks us, sounding attentive but still bored.
"Aw! Is a little bird bored?" Black Widow teases.
I roll my eyes, I have no idea why they aren't together yet. And people think teenagers are crazy.
"Okay, can we get on with it? I'm not in for the mood for watching a bunch of mush."
The spies both turn red. And I laugh.
"Alright, take your pick." Hawkeye says gesturing to the guys tied up.
"Draw straws?" I suggest, "Because I'm too annoyed to care."
"Okay." Black Widow says, shrugging.
"Short straw is Drake, medium is Jamie and tall straw is Aaron. Be right back." Hawkeye says before heading out the door.
Black Widow smiles, "Come on spit it out, who ya hoping for?"
I roll my eyes at her, "If you want a girl talk, go talk to Wasp, I'm sure she'd love to spill about Hank (Gi-Ant man)"
She pouts in a highly uncharacteristic way, but I guess even Black Widow is still girly, despite being a spy.
Then she realizes something, "Oh, I...You only grew up with your dad right? And adopted at that… no wonder you don't do girl talks…"
I smile, highly amused. Then I start thinking about dad.
"Oh, I'm sorry kid. I didn't mean too."
I look at her questioningly, then blush as I realize that my smile had probably disappeared the second I started thinking about dad. I shrug. "I'm fine. I just want to get this over with, ask about my dad for me, ok? James Strikesilver."
Hawkeye come through the door just as we settled for an awkward silence. He looks at us quizzically, "What happened? Why you guys so down?"
We both shrug, and I say, "I was just thinking about my dad. You'll ask about him, right?"
He nods, "James Strikesilver, right?"
I nod in return.
"Alright, draw." He says turning to Black Widow.
She pulls out one of the three straws.
I pull out mine, leaving Hawkeye with his.
We compare straws. Black Widow got Drake, Hawkeye got Aaron and I'm left with Jamie.
"Ok, Hawkeye, you get the room over by the bionics lab, Black Widow stays here, I'll go to the room closest to the analyzing samples lab. We should go one at a time, so no two are ever free at once. Got it?" I say quickly and quietly.
"I'll go first, I'll radio you when He's tied up in there." Hawkeye says gesturing to the radio on his belt. Black Widow nods.
"Ok, I'll go after you call in." I say.
Hawkeye quickly unties Aaron from the chair then reties his hands; he grabs the separate rope and loops it over his shoulder. He nods, and then escorts him to the left.
Hawkeye calls in shortly after.
I load my pistol and place it back in my belt. I untie Jamie then retie his hands, looping the extra rope onto my belt. If he tries to escape, I'd rather not have one arm tangled up, Hawkeye's strong enough to fight one armed, I'm not.
I grab his upper arm, and lead him to the right.
Half way through he swings his legs, tripping me and I lose my grip on his arm. Crap. He starts running, I get up and race after him, I catch up easily, mainly because he hasn't managed to untie his hands. I leap in front of him and point my pistol at his head. I put the pistol at my belt as soon as he's got his hands up, knowing that I'm not going to use it unless my life is threatened. He quickly drops his bound hands and tried to push past me. I punch him in the jaw as he tries to slip past me, the punch is quickly followed by a kick in the gut, then the chest. Jamie's on the ground groaning. I crouch down.
"That was not smart, buddy." I whisper, my heart racing from adrenaline. "Not smart at all."
I proceed to half-drag him to the room. Well, that was annoying.
Authors Note!
Yeah, I know I didn't actually get to the interrogation, I promise, that will be in the next chapter! Please review! THanks a ton!
