We were arrested. Luckily, Bucky and Steve got away, and we went willingly. However, Wanda was still not in complete control of her powers, so when the government agents tried to arrest her, some of them saw these crazy visions in their heads… they managed to contain her after that.
We were brought to the Raft prison. It was in the middle of the ocean, and it was able to sink underwater. Sam, Clint, Scott, and I were put in relatively normal cells, but Wanda was kept in a maximum security cell because of her powers.
They brought me to an interrogation room, and I sat at the table, my hands folded. I stared at the very obvious one-way mirror.
Secretary Ross walked in, accompanied by two other agents. He sat down across from me.
"Hello Miss Maximoff." Ross began. "I have a few questions for you." I almost laughed. Did he seriously think I was going to answer any of his questions.
"Where are Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes?" Ross asked. I smiled and stayed silent, which seemed to anger Ross. I wasn't going to betray Steve. Ross got up and paced in front of me.
"Miss Maximoff, you are aware of what your actions have caused, correct?" Ross asked. I shrugged. He glared at me.
"Secretary Ross, you are aware that I could control your mind, correct?" I asked. Of course, I would never control anyone's mind, but he didn't need to know that.
"I'm going to make you an offer, Miss Maximoff." Ross said. "You tell us where Rogers and Barnes are, and you walk free. You'd have to sign the Accords, of course, but you wouldn't be in prison."
"Sorry." I said. "But I don't betray my friends."
"Take her back to her cell." Ross said to the agents. They each grabbed one of my arms and roughly escorted me back to my cell.
…
Tony was at the prison. He probably came to gloat, or something like that. He walked over to the cell area. And Clint began to clap mockingly.
"The futurist, ladies and gentlemen!" Clint said. "The futurist is here. He sees all. He knows what's best for you, whether you like it or not."
"Give me a break, Barton." Tony said. "I had no idea they'd put you here. Come on."
"Yeah, well, you knew they'd put us somewhere, Tony." Clint said.
"Yeah, but not some super-max floating ocean pokey." Tony replied. "You know, this place is for maniacs. This is a place for…"
"Criminals?" Clint said, standing up. "Criminals, Tony. I think that's the word you're looking for. Right? That didn't used to be me. Or Sam, or Wanda, or Piper. But here we are."
"Because you broke the law." Tony reasoned.
"Yeah." Clint said.
"I didn't make you." Tony said. "You read it, you broke it. Alright, you're all grown up, you got a wife and kids. I don't understand, why didn't you think about. Them before you chose the wrong side." Tony began to walk to the next cell.
"You gotta watch you're back with this guy." Clint called out. "There's a chance he's going to break it."
"Hank Pym always said, you can never trust a Stark." Scott said as Tony passed him.
"Who are you?" Tony asked.
"Come on." Scott said as Tony walked to my cell and stood in front of me.
"Come to gloat?" I asked bitterly.
"Well, I was right." Tony said.
"You still think that?" I asked. "You still think that signing the Accords was the right thing to do? Signature or not, it's only a matter of time before you are locked up too."
"We'll see about that." Tony said, and he walked over to Sam's cell.
"How's Rhodes?" Sam asked, his back turned.
"They're flying him to Columbia Medical tomorrow." Tony said. "So… fingers crossed. What do you need? They feed you yet?" Sam turned around.
"You're the good cop now?" Sam asked suspiciously.
"I'm just the guy who needs to know where Steve went." Tony said. Yeah, good luck getting any information about that.
"Well, you better go bad cop, because you're going to have to go Mark Fuhrman on my ass to get information out of me." Sam said.
"Oh, I just knocked the A out of their AV." Tony said. "We got about 30 seconds before they realize it's not their equipment." Tony pulled up a hologram of something that I couldn't see.
"Just look." Tony said. I could see the hologram now. It was a dead man. "Because that is the fellow who was supposed to interrogate Barnes. Clearly I made a mistake. Sam, I was wrong." Woah, Tony Star admitting he was wrong?
"That's a first." Sam remarked.
"Cap is definitely off the reservation, but he's about to need all the help he can get." Tony said. "We don't know each other very well. You don't have to…"
"Hey, it's alright." Sam said. "Look, I'll tell you, but you have to go alone, and as a friend."
"Easy." Tony said. Sam leaned in and whispered something. I hoped Tony really was being sincere about this. If not, we had just doomed the whole operation.
…
A few days later, I sat in my cell, facing the wall. How long would we be here? How long would it be before there was another threat to humanity, and they needed us?
The lights flickered, and then turned off. I stood up and looked around. I heard a few yells. What was happening?
I saw a silhouette coming towards us. As it came into focus, I smiled.
It was Steve.
He threw his shield at the cell, creating a hole. I climbed out and blasted the other cells and Wanda came running down next to Steve.
"I have a quinjet." Steve said. "Follow me." We followed him to a hangar and got into the quinjet. To my surprise, Natasha was in the pilot's seat.
"Came to your senses?" I asked.
"You're hilarious." Nat said sarcastically. "Strap in." We did so, and we flew away from the prison and into open sky. We were fugitives now, but we were a team.
