Felicity woke up a few hours, her face was covered in dry blood. She was aching from everything. She wasn't Tony, or some sort of super soldier or assassin. She wasn't trained for any of this, nor did she ever ask for it. She slowly sat herself up in her cell, her hand holding her head. She could feel it pounding as she looked around.
"Well little miss stark has finally decided to wake up" norman chuckled, now moving towards the cell. "I think it's time we got you to work, before you overstay your welcome." A guard now stood beside him, unlocking the cell. He was armed and norman started approaching Felicity, grinning like a man man. He grabbed her hair and started dragging her out of the cell. Felicity screamed, grabbing hold of his hands trying to reduce the pulling. He flung her on to a chair with her tablet placed ok the table. Felicity yelped as he let go off her hair, "let that be a warning to you. Now get me my iron legion."
Felicity started typing away, trying to access into stark industries, she refused to hack into it. She wanted to Tony to know it was her, hoping he had some sort of plan. She wanted to fight this guy, but she knew there was no use even attempting it. She had no escape or weapons. She looked down at her hands and arms as she typed, there were marks and bruises already down her arms and it had only been a couple of days.
After a few moments, Felicity was able to access the iron legion, albeit far too easily which made Felicity think that Tony had planned something. "They're on their way" Felicity said, looking up from the screen and at norman who was once again grinning like a Cheshire Cat.
"Now we sit and wait" he smirked, "and when they get here I expect you to reprogram to work for me," he moved his way round to the back of Felicity, and in one quick movement he grabbed the back of head, "have I made myself clear?"
Felicity grimaced, the grip he had on her head was painful and all she could do was try to nod as she thought back any screaming or crying. Tears pricked her eyes as he let go. It was becoming clearer, there really was going to be no escape from this. "Well?" He said, now gripping onto her harder and lowering her head to the table. "Answer me." Felicity couldn't answer, all she could do was nod.
After what felt like an eternity the iron legion starting appearing one by one in front of her. "Now, I want you to stand guard. Any funny business shoot her, but do not kill her. Just injure." Norman told the guards that entered the area. "You my dear, are going to start work right away and you aren't to leave until it's done" Felicity watched as norman left the room. She watched as the guards raised their guns towards her.
Felicity stood up from the chair she had been sitting in and went over to the legion, she had only been able to access ten of them. All the others had been disconnected. She knew that in the future she would either need to access the rest or help create others. One by one, she switched them off at the power circuit within their neck which was covered by their suit. Felicity stopped for a moment when she could see ants on a few of them and by the time she got to the forth suit she saw them. They were tiny, but she knew instantly who they were when one of them gave her a mock salute and started sliding down the suit. As she continued to work on the legion, she found a note from Tony, 'ops double player.'
Felicity took a deep breath mentally, she knew what she needed to do. If Scott and hope were able to get here, she knew the others would find their way. She just had to play smart for the next couple of hours. After a hour, Felicity had successfully reprogrammed the legion. She had been able to make a few adjustments without anyone batting an eyelid at her and was able to reprogram the network.
Felicity could hear commotion outside, she quickly switched the legion back on as norman entered back into the room. "It looks like your friends were stupid enough to come here" he grinned, stepping towards her. She had seen that look before, Felicity took a deep breath, she knew it was either sink or swim right now. Before she was turned round she saw it, the red light. Systems were go. Felicity turned around to come face to face with norman, the guards had now all raised their weapons.
"You know, let's give them a bit of an assentive, shall we?" Norman snarled as he tried to grab Felicity,
"And who told you, you could play with my toys?" Tony's voice came through as the legion surrounded her. "Now we really don't need to do this, so lower your weapons" as Tony finished his sentence the guards started shooting and a swarm of shields surrounded her though Felicity still found herself covering her head as she ducked behind the iron men. Bullets kept pinging off, and once the guns had gone quiet the shields lowered and Felicity was able to see the bullets had pinged off and back into the guards, however more guards appeared to be taking their place. Before the legion could raise their shields, Felicity heard a gun, next thing she knew pain was radiating in her body. She looked down at her side, she had been shot. The shields now covered her as the legion took fire.
"Oh shit" she mumbled before blacking out.
