A/N: I do not own Teen Titans or Marvel's Agents of Shield, they belong to DC Comics and Marvel, respectively.
My feet are being dragged very roughly, then I'm thrown on to a chair. Heh, I'm surprised the chair didn't break upon my body landing on it. Looks like someone set me up, but who?
The only thing I understand now is that I'm a prisoner, but whoever is holding me captive must know my ranking within the government. The problem is that no one is supposed to know my real role within the government, well the public doesn't even have a clue to who I am. Only top officials within the US government genuinely knows who I am and understand my role. I still remember my training when I was with the federal agents; if you happened to be captured, you only tell your captors the Big Four. Which is Amanda Blake Waller, fifteenth of September nineteen-seventy three, Co-Director of Homeland Security, and TYN54LMQ. I should be safe for a while, as long as I keep repeating the same Big Four. Even if half of those are lies. It will be beneficial for my survival, who knows the Suicide Squad might even come rescue me, but I don't even know where I am! So I guess we can cross that off the list then. But I still can stall time; so it really won't bother me.
I start resting for a bit, just until I can identify my captors, which might be a long shot, but I'm willing to try to figure out which organization captured me. But for now, I just need to rest my eyes for a while. I feel my chest starting to beat in a smooth rhythm.
After a while, I reawaken to the noise the guards are making, someone is most likely going to ask me questions; pointless to ask me at the his moment when I keep telling them the same answer. Don't they understand I'm not breaking? I won't give them anything else! The door suddenly opens and the light coming from the outside blinds me temporarily before a small light turns on over my head and the door shuts. I glare at the woman standing before. "How was your ride over here?" A woman asked me.
At first I'm shocked because I recognize the woman standing before me! "It was fine, Alisha." I call her by her first name.
Then I'm slapped across my face, "I go by Baroness Lucifera!" She yells at me, then I spit on the ground and Alisha takes a deep breath, "You know we could just skip these pointless threats and torture? All you have to do is reveal your secrets."
I guess Alisha didn't get the memo earlier stating that I'm not giving anyone anything, but I do want to know what she's hiding. "And why should I give them to a terrorist organization like yourself?"
"Terrorists?" She responds, "If we're terrorists then you're just as bad as us. Hell even your Project Cadmus has used the same tactics as we have," how the hell does she know about Project Cadmus? That's high level information right there, hell the president doesn't even know about this! "In fact, in some ways we serve your cause better than you ever did. So what makes your association different?"
I raise my eyebrow, "We respect the government and her people, unlike your organization and the Justice League."
"How can you respect something that goes against everything you supposedly 'protect?' As far as I'm concerned they're the biggest liars and crooks!" A bit of bitterness stems from her voice.
"The government keeps people safe from metahumans and other threats. We're just trying to make the Justice League and their affiliates follow the rules, too." I state.
She laughs a bit, "Amanda, the worst threat to the human race is humans! Just look at the way we treat the Earth; we inject her with the worst toxins possible, we gas her, and we destroy her ecosystem! People say you have to own to up to their responsibilities but we don't accept the consequences we've done to Earth by heating her up." She pauses, "By giving us our own freedom, we are free to do whatever we want; even if that includes causing harm to others. Think about it, we could eliminate poverty around the world, yet we haven't lifted our fingers to do a damn thing about it! The only way to ensure their safety is to tear down the government and take away their liberty."
I stare at and I sadden at the fact that she rejected the offer to join us, then this situation would never have existed, "Why? Why didn't you join us when you had the chance?"
She shook her head and takes a deep breath, "After seeing what you've done to those clones and mutants, how could I? I don't agree with your brainwashing of people to do your dirty work and taking advantage of unwilling mutants, but what we do is what needs to be done." She somewhat sounds a little unsure. "But the real reason why I never joined you was because I met a mutant boy. It was a few months before you even approached me to join your organization, but I saw your lingering shadows on the clones and mutants. So as the months grew, I grew closer to the boy, and I saw something extraordinarily, besides his powers, it was his mind and heart was comparable to that of a regular child. After that I believed that all mutants should be treated decently. Aliens on the other hand, do not possess those traits and therefore they cannot be trusted. When you wanted to place those children in facilities, in which they are being 'studied,' being euthanized, and outright tortured; I knew I could never join you." She finished.
"Those were sacrifices that we needed to ensure that the Justice League would never go rogue!"
"And did the mutants ever volunteer for that? At least in Hydra we take the wait we need and let them join or stay out of our way!"
"Hydra, eh?" I start to remember one of the latest reports talking about them; now what are you hiding?
An agent busted through the doors, "Baroness, you are needed somewhere else." Alisha nodded and the agent left.
She got up and started leaving, "Oh and in case you didn't know, some members of Cadmus joined us after your institution's fall." I think she's trying to break me even more, but that's not going to work on me sister! However, if members of Cadmus did join Hydra, what stops Hydra from infiltrating Cadmus? Now I have to keep both eyes open! "Amanda, think about it: If you had the chance to kill Hitler as a baby or Superman for that matter, wouldn't you take that opportunity?" She asks a very interesting question.
