Chapter 3

I wake up in a glass cylinder and look around, then I look down. Beneath me is a drop, probably about five hundred feet down. I notice that beside my prison is a similar one, housing Loki.

"Evelyn," I hear Tony's voice and I turn to see him standing in front of the entrance.

"Why am I in a glass can?" I ask. "Are you going to drop me down that?!" I glare at Tony as he smirks.

"No, not if you cooperate," he says, but I can tell that they don't plan to kill me at all.

"What do you want me to do?"

"Tell us those things that you are hiding. What happened to you in the past."

"No!"

"Evelyn, if you can't trust us, we can't trust you!"

"Why?"

"So we understand your powers and motivations."

"Fine!" I sigh and sit down I explain to him that the original Joker, Jack Napier, was my brother, and he had killed my family because I was supposed to be his evil little sister. It hadn't worked though. The Injustice League tried time and time again to make me a villain like them so I could lead them. Then I explained Cadmus, and how I got my powers from the ink in my tattoos. When I finish explaining everything, Tony looks scared.

"Are you okay?" I ask.

"Just processing," he says changing his expression to be unreadable. "What are your powers?"

"I just told you my whole entire backstory, can you just let me off the hook?" I ask.

"Fine, but you need to put them into your file."

"I'm not doing that."

"Why not?"

"Because, when your files get into the wrong hands, I don't want to have my name anywhere in them."

"We have the most secure database in all of North America!"

"Yeah, exactly, 'all of North America'. There's a ton of world other than North America. I bet that Russia has a better database than you. And better hackers than North America!"

"Okay then, be that way, but you need to trust us."

"I don't know about you, but I definately trust Captain America."

"You don't even know his real name!" Tony says, upset that he isn't my favorite Avenger. He opens the door and I quickly run out.

"It's stuffy in there!" I say, looking at Loki.

"No," Tony says, reading my facial expression.

"But why, I just want to ask a few questions."

"What questions?"

"Like; 'Where did that cut on his throat come from?'," I snicker as Tony practly pushes me out of the room.

"Yeah right, like he'd answer to you. Plus, your friend, the Captain, has some questions for you."

We walk up some stairs and arrive in a large observing room with tinted glass. "Woah!" I say running straight to the glass like a small child and staring into the area that Tony and I had just been in. My eyes land on Loki and to my surprise, he's just standing there. Then something strange happens, Loki looks up at me and straight into my eyes. Immediately, I get a splitting headache that spreads from the front of my skull to the back. Loki grins as I grab my face and fall to the ground.

"Ah!" I scream in pain as Tony and- I still don't know his name- Captain America run to my side.

"What's wrong?" Captain America asks.

"Well, the fact that I still don't know what your name is bothers me. Oh, and something happened when I looked at Loki," I try to answer, but now I'm distracted because I want to know his name.

"My name's Steve Rogers," he says, which helps to ease my mind. "Could you describe what happened."

"Well, like every other dumb kid," I begin glaring at the wall, "I went to look through the glass and realized that Loki was there, like I felt it. Then, I looked his way and my head started hurting. The weird thing is, he knew exactly where I was and that I was looking his way when I did."

Steve nodded, then he and Tony helped me up. They guide me to a table and when I sit down, they sit across from me.

"Evelyn," Steve looks at me, "At the incident with Loki, there were three projections of him around the crowd. How did you know exactly which one was the real one?" he asks.

"The only one I could see was the real one," I answer truthfully.

"Do you know why?"

"Yeah, one of my powers I acquired while I was a test subject, allowed me to see him," I answered, trying my best to keep my power a secret.

"Okay, why did you continuously go after Loki? Do you have outside connection with him?" Steve continued his interrogation.

"I don't have any connections with him. I went after him because he is exactly like my brother and is a threat to our world. I can't trust him, and believe that he should be executed immediately," I answer. "Can he hear us?" I ask.

"No, actually, I'm surprised he knew where you were, it's one-way glass."

"He could feel the disturbance," I glance down at my hands, which are folded neatly on the table in front of me. "I can tell that he is there."

"Care to explain?" Tony asks and I sigh.

"I'm what you people would call a cyborg. Half human, half computer," I decide to tell them about my powers. "While I was on Cadmus, they were testing a new kind of weapon. Enhancers that run through blood. Well, I became their test subject. They infused special tattoo ink with the chemicals and used it on me. For every tattoo, I have a power. One is strength and speed. Another; intelligence. The third is for manipulation through the mind, or telepathy. The next, enhances my senses. And the last allows me to see through lies. I never thought I would have to use it literally, but I guess life has a knack for irony," I spill my secrets out without realizing what I was doing.

"You don't really look like a cyborg," Tony says aloud.

"You don't really look heartless," I say and he backs off, but I decide to explain anyway. "I have a memory chip in my brain to help my powers to work. Without it I wouldn't have powers. I also have a set of different ports in my arm. I also recall, you wanted to know why my blood is silver. Well, the information that I receive doesn't travel through my nerves, instead it travels through my blood and to the chip in my brain. The chip then converts the information into brain waves so that my brain can understand it."

"Sounds overcomplicated," Tony says.

"It keeps people like you from making more people like me," I say.

"Okay, we've got all the answers we needed. Thank you, Evelyn."

I smile at him before getting back up to leave. "Oh, yeah," I say remembering something. "Mr. Rogers,-"

"You can call me Steve if you want."

"Okay, Steve, can I have five minutes to talk with Loki? Maybe I can get you some answers," I ask and he looks at Tony, then nods.

"Fine, but only five minutes, and we'll accompany you," he says and I smile.

"Thanks!" I say. I really wanted to find out what exactly Loki did to me.

"You should eat first though," Tony says, leading me to an elevator and taking me to the bottom floor of the Avengers' tower.
