Toni POV

I woke up again, this time I felt even worst. My vision was cloudy, head heavy, and I couldn't hardly speak.

Eric was leaning against the walk shaking his head. "You can make this stop at anytime you know. Just tell me where you found my information. "

I opened my mouth to speak but nothing came out.

"I just want to know, and then you can go on your way." Eric touched the side of my face, pushing my hair behind my ear.

I groaned again and went limp. "I told you before. Nobody told me about you, I found you only own."

"Of course, of course you found me on your own." Eric said in a mocking tone. "But how did you even know who to look for? How did you know that I even exist? I went completely off the radar when I ran away from home at age twelve. Nobody has asked about me since."

He did have a point. I signed. "I...saw you, they day you killed my parents."

"I knew it." Eric growled."Seems like the truth serum is finally working."

He was quiet for a few minutes.

I groaned. "Why?"

Eric looked at me.

"Why did the blame fall on him for the murder if it was you?"

Eric shrugged carelessly. "Good person, I guess. Always took the fall for everything."

"So your taking advantage of that?" I said.

Eric sighed. "You've heard enough." He walked out of the room.

I felt another sting in my back before I passed out again.

When I woke up again, Eric was glaring at me.

"Why would you get my brother to betray me like this?"

"What do you mean?" I groaned.

"Some of my men say that we have company. But I can't think of how they knew you were here."

I knew Dad had came after me, which was not what I wanted. Eric would probably kill him.

"I don't know." I sighed.

"Sure you don't." Eric said sarcastically.

"I swear, I told him not to follow me. Please don't hurt him." I begged.

"Who?" Eric said.

"My dad." I said.

"Oh it's you I want, he can go free." Eric grinned.

"Whatever your going to do, do it. Get it over with." I said.

"No. I'm going to make you suffer like I had too all those years."

I was suffering. I was so heavily drugged that I couldn't see straight. Every few minutes, Eric had his men thin out the air so it was getting harder and harder to breath.

I figured that I didn't have long to go. That scared me. I might never see the twins or Steve again. He was probably worried sick.

I shouldn't have just run off to meet this killer. I should have listened to dad and let Fury handel this. But at the same time, I couldn't let another person suffer because Eric Castle wanted to kill me. I wanted to be the one to suffer, this was my enemy.

I feel another sting in my back and I started to dose off. Suddenly Eric unites me and drags me.

He pulled me out of the room, we're coming to, I think, stairs. I can barely keep my eyes open so Eric dragged me the whole way.

Then I feel a breeze on my face, we were outside now. But why?

Eric was still dragging me. I couldn't tell where we were or why. He set me down so I was laying on my back. Suddenly he jerks me by my arm so I'm standing upright.

Then I heard a voice.

"Wait!"

It was Steve.

Eric only chuckled. "Your too late, Captain. She said not to follow her."

"I know what she said. But I had to come." Steve sounded afraid.

"Why should I? I will get my revenge for all the humiliation she has caused me. " Eric pushes me a little further away from him. I feel a strong pull of gravity.

"No don't!" Steve shouted. "I'm sure there's something else we can do."

"There is nothing you can do." Eric said.

"Yes there is. Just come with us and you can talk to Fury." Steve said desperately.

"So he can lock me in a cage like my brother?"

"He won't put you in a cage. I'll make sure he doesn't. But please, let her go." Steve pleaded.

"She ruined my life!"

"No! Her parents did! She was only two. They only wanted to protect her."

"I don't care, she has to pay for all the pain her parents caused me."

I felt cold metal on the side of my face.

"No, please!" Steve shouted.

There was gunshot.

Frank groaned and released his grip on my arm.

Tony POV

We heard a gunshot through the earpiece. We froze.

"What happened?" Natasha asked

"Castle's in custody." Clint said.

"What about Toni?" I asked urgently.

"He threw her off the roof!" Steve shouted.

I made my way to the nearest exit to see my daughter fly past. I flew after her. I reached out and caught her before she hit the ground.

I stepped out of my suit and held her in my arms.

She was so out of she couldn't even talk.

"Come on, come on, wake up." I pleaded with her. She only moaned.

"I'm taking her back to base. You guys get meet me there as quick as you can." I said.

It seemed to take forever to get back to New York. Toni was slipping further and further into unconsciousness.

"Stay awake!" I shouted at her.

She stayed limp.

I got a call. It was Coulson.

"Did you find her?" He asked.

"Get a room ready in the medical ward!" I said.

When I reached HQ, there were a couple agents waiting outside. They immediately took Toni away the minute I landed.

My suit opened up and I nearly collapsed. I was so relieved. Hopefully, she would be ok.

Toni POV

I woke up to a strange bright light shining in my face. There was a man in the room, I couldn't quick make out who he was because my vision was still blurred.

I also realized that I wasn't tied to a chair anymore, I was lying in a bed. I also found it easier to breathe.

Where was I and how did I get here?

The last thing I remember was Castle dragging me somewhere. Then Steve's voice echoing in my mind.

He was pleading with Castle to let me go.

Then I remember falling.

I started to come around and said the first thing that came to mind.

"Steve." I said softly.

A large hand gently gripped mine.

"I'm here."
