Hello! :) I'm back again and sooner than I thought ;P

Before you read the chapter let me tell you something: Deanna Doyle is an original character created by my friend Mayu (MayuraPotts in and also you can find her in YT with the name of ChineseBishojo –check her videos about Dee! She's amazing!), I decided to include her because I love her character so much. –I'm open to suggestions by the way, OC are welcome to my fic! :)

[May, 1990]

It was the third beating in this week and all he could think about was his father's voice and you didn't fight them back? Daniel was smiling with mischievous and articulated with his lips something only he could read. The bell rang announcing the break between classes, Miss Farmer looked at her watch and he wished for ten minutes more of math. "I'll see you the next week." She closed the book and a lot of students stood up to go out, but he couldn't move from his sit. "What are you waiting?" She asked taking the keys with one of her hand. "I have to close, aah… kid, so go out to take some air."

He was invisible; none of the professors knew his name even wasn't new at school at all. "I'm not feeling well…" He whispered trying to catch her attention, why she didn't see the bruises in his face? No one really cared about him? "The fresh air of the morning will help you." She insisted. It was a lost fight so he sighed and left the class dragging his feet.

As he thought Daniel was waiting outside for him, his friends were behind him supporting the leader. "Where were you, Bomer?" He didn't answer or move. Daniel's friends were encircling him laughing like happy and stupid monkeys. The first hit came directly to his stomach and he fell to the ground. "Come on, Bomer, fight back!" Daniel shouted showing his fists to him; he stood up feeling the pain in his belly and tried to punch Daniel in the face. But the bully was quickly enough to take advantage of his none experiences in fights. "You're such a lady!" He found himself in the ground again.

"And that's a bad thing?" A female voice asked and Daniel turned around instantly with a smile in his face. There wasn't a girl in school that couldn't resist his charms and his look of troublemaker. "Is a bad thing to be a girl?" She insisted even Daniel was trying to seduce her with his best smile. The boy in the ground sneaked a peek of her. He recognized her; she was one of the new students of his class. "No?" Daniel said and the girl crossed her arms, behind her there was a little girl who was raising her fists in order to protect her sister in case she needed. "Go away, Mister Muscles, or I'll finish you."

"Fred!" Her sister looked back to see the little girl, she shrugged her should with indifference. "He's an asshole." The bell rang again to indicate the end of the break; it was the time to go to the classes again. "See you, Bomer." Daniel said with angry totally frustrated because the fight was interrupted by the two girls. "Are you going to stay there, blondie? It doesn't seem comfortable." Winnifred asked, her sister gave her a withering look. "We're gonna be late." But she didn't seem worry about it, in fact she was smiling. "Better will be if we don't go."

There was a place where the bell-ringers usually went, under the grades of the football field the smokers and the troublemakers camped without regretting losing the classes. The Strauss sisters seemed comfortable in that circle –even one of the smokers saluted Winnie with a head movement, Sully shrank with shame feeling out of place –but anyone was looking at him like Daniel used to. "Welcome to paradise." Winifred announced opening her arms with a big smile in her face. "Now you're officially a marginalized."

"And your parents know you're not going to the classes?" He asked confused and the little sister started to laugh with sarcasm. "First of all they should start caring about us; our parents are too busy for knowing certain things." Obviously Fred was the talk-active; the other sister was quiet and avoided his eyes every time he looked at her. "What's your name, blondie?"

"Sullivan Bomer." He answered landing his head to one side. "And you are…" Fred smiled and made a reverence. "Your saviors, Lady Sullivan, but you can call us Winnie and Summer Strauss." Fred raised one of her fingers pointing directly to his nose. "And never call us Winter and Summer or I swear I'll kill you slowly."

They took a seat in front of a group of smokers who were laughing really loudly. The Strauss siblings were differently from the other girls Sully knew, they didn't ask why Daniel hated him so much. Suddenly all the sadness, all the pain of the psychological abuse and the feeling of being so alone these years collided in him; his eyes -filled with salad tears- burned like hell. Summer stood up and took the seat next to him; Winnie was avoiding his image because she didn't know what to do in that type of cases. Sully rested his head in Summer's shoulder and she hugged him trying to comfort his pain.

"Incy wincy spider, climded up the spout…" Fred was singing with a low voice but Sullivan could hear her perfectly. "Down came the rain and washed the spider out…" Summer caresses his head with tenderness; he closed his eyes and concentrated in her touch. His mother died two years ago and his father wasn't exactly the tender type, he missed being touched with love –feeling someone cared about him. "Ugh, I hate spiders."

[Actual day – Stark Tower]

The views were magnificent; she could see the whole city through the windows. Of course she preferred to go out, feel the fresh air filling his lungs and the sun in her skin but she couldn't ask for more than that. Summer turned around to see the rest of the room, there was a comfy bed with pink sheets and a closet big enough to stock up the wardrobe of five different people. In a corner a camera was watching her in silent.

The man with the blue suit promised he wouldn't call Shield but also swore Sully and she wouldn't be separated and that was the first thing Tony did when they entered to the tower. Sullivan knew more information about what happened in Aaron's lab –her father she said to herself in order to remember her own life; but Summer only had a few memories about it. It was pointless trying to interrogate her.

The door opened and she moved her eyes to that direction. "Who are you?" She asked with mistrust and stepped back prepared to attack in case she needed. "It's me." The man said confused and raised his arms in peace. Summer furrowed her brow. The man had a blond hair and a couple of blue eyes, he was wearing jeans and an old fashioned checked shirt. "You don't recognize me without the suit? I'm the blue man." He saw her opening her eyes with surprise but still being mistrusted about his presence. Summer turned around to see the view again. "All the windows are closed as mine?" She laid her forehead against the crystal surface, in secret Summer asked for crossing the glass to way out of the tower. "Do you think I'll try suicide again?"

Steve didn't say anything, he just stayed calm and serious near to the door trying to guess if Summer was joking or not. The girl seemed tired even she slept an entire year, Steve knew that sensation because he'd been sleeping for seventy years. "Incy wincy spider, climded up the spout…" She started to sing surprising him. "Down came the rain and washed the spider out…"

Suddenly Summer hit the window with angry –the memories were dancing in her head painfully. She remembered the coldness of her father's lab, the warm liquid in her veins that made her sleep. Aaron built a prison for her –the incubator that kept her alive- and now she found herself again in a place Summer couldn't escape. A new prison. Tony wouldn't let her go. She won't be able to go outside like the normal people; she was too dangerous for that. Summer knew it deep in her heart. "You're not a hero for saving me." She closed her eyes feeling the teardrops coming. "If you had been one, you would have let me fall."

Tony moved his eyes from the screen to the door even no one entered. It hadn't been a bad idea installing cameras in a couple of guest's rooms after all –but that didn't meant he was enjoying the show. He leaned back against the chair, Steve wasn't in danger he knew perfectly Summer wouldn't attack him… Also believed the Captain won't be able to get some information from her. His body shivered. The time had passed but he couldn't forget even tried really hard. Tony saw that girl dying slowly under the car, bleeding to the death in front of his eyes.

But there she was and his eyes couldn't believe what they were looking. Summer was alive and there she was in his tower like nothing happened. Something inside him shrugged suffocating him. Was Aaron capable of bringing someone's back to the death? No one could do something like that –not even his own father, Howard Stark, not even Bruce or him. "Am I your prisoner?" The boy who was behind him asked while he was playing with an original screwdriver –or at least Sully thought it was one. Tony turned around to see the young man and extended a man to him to take the screwdriver away from the pizza maker. "I have nothing to tell to you." He raised his arms with peace like Steve did minutes ago. "I was there delivering a pizza, I swear… Ask my boss."

"Of course…" Stark raised one of his eyebrows while giving him a withering look. "Save that sophisticated excuse for Director Fury from Shield, he'll enjoy your story about the pizza maker who was in the wrong place at the wrong time." Sullivan made a face and crossed his arms trying to seem indifference but he was feeling so much scared about the situation. "Get with it, we're the good guys." Tony stood up looking directly to him, Sully thought his eyes seemed sad and guilty. "Sing, little dove, tell us everything you know about Aaron's plans or I'll ask her." Tony pointed the screen with one of his fingers. "And I'm not going to be a gentleman."

"He said we could trust you… The man with the Shield…" Sully spoke with a flickering voice. "I didn't ask for this, I don't wanna be a monster… Aaron didn't tell me anything about his plans… I just—I only take care of Summer that's my mission." Tony believed him; Aaron wasn't stupid to trust his plans to a scared kid. The Stark CEO sat down again at the same time Phoebe opened the door, she jumped surprised to see Sullivan there. "Phoebs?" The blond guy opened his mouth totally shocked and she blushed instantly. "What are you doing here? Did they kidnap you?"

"In fact, I work here now." She said in a whisper and avoided his eyes to not feel too much embarrassed. Phoebe bent down to be near to Tony's ear. "You should me inform me about this things!" Sullivan frowned his forehead with mistrust; Phoebe worked a lot of time for Aaron and now she was wearing a Stark logo in her elegant suit –Number Two didn't wasted her time. "Why is he here?" Tony looked up to see Pepper's secretary; she seemed worried about everything that concerns Aaron's experiments. When her eyes catch the image the screen was offering her world crashed down, her knees shivered remembering the moment she saw Summer's abilities in the past. Her skin turned pale and she had the urge to throw up. "Please… Tony…" Phoebe whispered holding the carpet with the post-it against her trying to breathe normal. "Be careful in this."

"I have everything under control, don't worry too much." Tony smiled to her trying to fade away her fear but it didn't help at all. "Why are you here anyway, Pikachu?" Phoebe nodded her head slowly and bit her lips while she showed a note, it claimed: Ms. Doyle is here. "Thanks, Phoebs, let her in."

Deanna 'Dee' Doyle, or as Tony called her D.D., was one of the agents of Shields Coulson had at his orders. Before joining Shield, Dee had been a police who had a predilection for penalizing Tony for all the damages Iron man made in his duties –of course, in that time, he paid her tickets with his wonderful and magic touches that went her crazy under the sheets but now the passion was gone and Tony only had eyes and attention for Pepper. Deanna didn't get mad for that, in fact she supported him to take the step and start a relationship with the Potts. They had a unique chemistry that could be described as Soul Bro. Tony trusted enough in her to call her for help.

Physically Deanna had a standard height for a girl, her wavy brown hair was long enough to surpass her shoulders and she had that chocolate color in her eyes that made you lost in them. She had enough resistance to equalize Natasha and had the same shot precision with her gun as Hawkeye with his bow. Coulson had been proud of her before he died in Loki's hands. And maybe that was the reason Deanna looked so crashed down lately, under his eyes there were black rings that proof she didn't sleep really well at night –the nightmares stormed her every time D.D. closed her eyes.

"What do you want, Anthony…?" She asked with a tired voice when entered to the room. "I only came because Phoebe asked very nice and I don't wanna let her down." Tony knew that was a pathetic excuse to accept his invitation but at that point it didn't matter, she was there. "Who's this?" Tony didn't have to take a look to know Dee was referring to Sullivan, he was so out of place in his tower like a cat in a tiger cage. "No one, don't worry about him." Sully clicked his tongue offended but didn't say a word; he only crossed his arms and paid attention. Who was she and why Tony asked her for help? "I can't trust Shield right now, D.D." Deanna laughed with sarcasm, Tony didn't trust Shield at all –it wasn't exactly a time problem. "I need a better interrogator… Steve is trying but—well, he's Steve and she's a girl. Not a girl in a Natasha's way but a girl in you-know-what-way." Dee looked at him like he was speaking in a knowing language. "Let's say Steve is not a good option. And, against what I think, people said I haven't people skills." Sully nodded his head in silent. "I'd ask 'Tasha but… You're more trustable."

"Thanks?" Dee raised one of her eyebrows and looked at the screen; there was a girl in a room with Steve. She was obviously uncomfortable about him so he wouldn't get any information. "I'm out of service, Tony… Fury thinks I'm not capable to…—I can't be in the game again after what I did."

"He fooled you." Tony said immediately to interrupt her speech. "It's not your fault Loki used you in the battle. Ask Clint, he was in the same situation as you and—"

"No, Tony, he wasn't!" She shouted and hit the table with her fist. "He didn't fool me… I knew what he was doing and I didn't stop him! And you want to know why? Because I loved him! Okay? I loved him in the way you love Pepper." Tony bit his lips trying to shallow the words that came to his mouth, he couldn't afford making the situation worse than actually was. "I'm not trustable anymore, I'm sorry I can't help you with this." Tony took her by the arm before she could go away. "I'm not asking this to the agent Doyle. I'm asking you, Deanna, please. That girl is everything I have to stop Aaron Strauss." He made a pause to emphasize his desperation. "He wants my head in a stick." For the first time she smiled.

"Well, that's not a new."

[Actual day – Aaron's hideout]

Ben was a man of action so when Aaron planned hidden themselves he knew the boredom would be his worst nightmare. The scientist had no intention to show himself before Number Seven was ready to wake up, the ex-police man didn't understand his obsession with that experiment but didn't ask to not seem too much ignorant. "I have a mission for you, Four." Ben jumped in his sit and he heard Jacquelin laughing behind him but didn't care at all –there was something to do! Finally! "What's up, Boss? Do you want me to kill one of the Avengers? I can do that."

"Don't be reckless, Benjamin." Aaron complained disgusted with the man. "I need your abilities, it's necessary to find someone." Ben sighed with boredom, he could do that with a blink of his eyes… It wasn't exactly the mission he expected. "Who?" Aaron showed to him a couple of photos. "I thought you said one person…"

The first picture was obviously taken a year ago when the Avengers were formed, the man of the photo was the reason they became a team. "He's an alien, right? I don't think my powers—" Then Aaron interrupted him hastily, his head was turning red because of the anger he felt for being annoyed. "Of course I know he's an alien, Benjamin! He came from Asgard, Loki is a god. A God! Do you understand the power of that word?" Aaron pointed the other photo with one of his fingers. "I know we can't go to Asgard and take him, Four, but there's only one scientist that can make it possible. When Thor came for the first time she was there, and as far as I know that Jane Foster stills studying how to get him back." Ben looked at the photo, it was obvious that the girl in the photo wasn't exactly Jane Foster. "Winnifred is with her right now."

"Your daughter?" Ben asked confused, why he didn't call her asking for help? It would be easier… Or not. "You want me to find your daughter." He said trying to understand the complexity of the mission, Aaron moved his hand in order to affirm it and leaned back with pensive eyes. "Why do you send me to catch a little girl? Send Five!" Jacquelin protested immediately but Aaron stilled lost in his own thoughts, after a minute of silent Aaron looked at him. "Because Jake is going to make a visit to my other kid."

[Actual day – Stark Tower]

"It's for security." Tony said while he put a couple of gloves in Dee's hand. "Avoid the touching, ok?" Dee nodded knowing he was hiding something, some information about the girl she couldn't even imagine. After what happened with the Asgardians, the Agent Doyle had a better opened mind but that didn't meant she understood everything. "No problem." Tony opened the door for her and she entered without hesitate. Steve was with his back to Dee so couldn't see his expression at all but she noticed immediately the tension between them. The Captain was trying to be friendly with the girl in order to gain her trust but she was looking at him like he was the bogeyman. "It's my turn, Cap, just take a break."

Steve turned around surprised to hear Dee's voice, he smiled instantly and his eyes expressed how thankful he was to be replaced. Summer followed him with her eyes until the Captain abandoned the room. "He's really… big." The Strauss said quickly and faced Dee with caution, the agent was following Steve's method and stayed away from the girl. "And weird but I like his blue suit." She added in a whisper.

"Do you want to go out from here? It's really stressful feeling yourself prisoned in these four walls… What do you think?" Instantly Dee saw the excitement in her eyes, she was begging for a walk outside this room. "Cool." With her hands in her hips Deanna looked around not sure where to talk. "Jarvis, please, tell Tony we're going to go for a walk. Ok? Oh, and inform him he can't oppose to this."

The message came instantly to the Magnate who wrinkled his nose; he wasn't the type of people who's okay with the orders –in particular with the dangerous one for his friends, Dee didn't know who had by her side. Sullivan yawned tired of being useless, he secretly wished for a warm bath and a long sleep. "Stark." Tony jumped in his sit surprised and astonished when the voice of Natasha came stealthily. "Director Fury wants to see you." The red hair woman announced and when Tony turned around he saw her standing up in front of the door with her arms crossed. Sully noticed her withering look; he wasn't her cup of tea. "Maybe he wants to know why are you giving shelter to Aaron's experiments without his knowledge."

"Or maybe he wants to ask me which shampoo I'm currently using." Natasha wasn't in the mood for jokes, she stilled worried for Clint who was in the hospital recovering after what happened with Summer's abilities.

Summer was running through the corridors without caring where they ended, the most important thing for her was the feeling of being free to run wherever she wanted. When she was going too far from Dee, the girl stopped -waiting for the agent- then when Deanna showed herself she started to run again. They went over a couple of floors of the tower until finally got back where her room was installed. Deanna told her where we're going now and Summer followed her instructions without complaining. "Sully!" She exclaimed when Dee opened one of the doors in front of here, the boy was sitting in one of the chair with a bored face trying not to fall sleep. "This tower is amazing!" The blond guy stood up instantly and looked to Steve in order to ask for permission to get close to her, he nodded with a serious expression. "I saw a lab in the eleventh floor! It's bigger than father's." Steve and Dee looked at each other, it was the first time Summer talked about Aaron. Sully moved his arms hysterical and shushed her, don't say anything he tried to said with his eyes but Summer was too excited to shut up. "But it was cold as well."

Suddenly the security alarm was activated by Jarvis warning them someone entered to the Stark Tower without permission –plus it wasn't someone they met before. The electric majordomo informed about the situation while Dee pulled her gun out prepared for the action. "I'm going to take a look." She said decided to go out but Steve reached her with a worried eyes. "Come on, Cap, it's nothing I can't handle…" Dee whispered trying to avoid her own emotion, he wasn't trusting her, he thought she was weak. "Someone needs to look forward the kids, ah?" Summer stepped back trying to hide herself behind the monitor of the cameras, she covered her ears with her hands and started to whisper to herself. Sully was standing up next to her shivering with fear.

"She's coming! She's getting close!" She cried out and Sullivan bended down to make sure his friend was okay, but Summer seemed out of her mind again. "Oh, she's so quickly you wouldn't see her coming! Whispering… Whispering…" Dee sighed and took a step back to go away to see with her own eyes what was happening, but then Summer moved her hands to stop her. "N—!" She shut up instantly. Deana was fast and with a blink of an eye she was aiming Summer with her gun. "Shoot me."

Dee took down her weapon realizing she had been near to shoot the Strauss girl because her survival instincts told her. With a quickly look she inform Steve her plans –the agents was going to investigate why the security alarm had been activated. The Captain sighed and looked his two protégées: Summer was hiding behind the monitor without moving and Sullivan was by her side maybe too scared to react. He wasn't a soldier; the blond guy was just a pizza maker who had the bad luck to be the friend of the daughter of a mad scientist. Steve was too concentrated in his own thoughts and when the sound of a shooting involved the room he jumped with surprise. His hearth started to beat faster. What if someone shot Dee? Maybe she was needing help. Oh, Tony was going to kill him. "Stay here! Don't move!" Sullivan looked at him horrified; he was leaving them without protection?

Number Three trembled when he heard steps coming. Sullivan took a breath trying to calm himself and got ready to kick some assess in case it was needed –his weapon was a chair he barely could hold. A shaped of a man was all he could see when the door opened and someone shot him, Sullivan fell down. Dead. Summer stood up in a jump crying out.

Dee was alive. Steve found her in the lower floor next to a dead body of a police man, she was trying to find something about the attacker –his ID or his badge, but he didn't carry anything with him but a gun. "What are you doing here, Steven?" She complained looking at him like he was mad. "I told you I could handle this! Oh god! What happens with you, man?"

"I thought you needed help… Uh…" He whispered feeling a little bit pathetic. Now the two experiments were alone and at the mercy of the intruders. They ran out without thinking it twice, maybe it wasn't too late.

"Hey! You better stop." Deanna shouted pulling her gun out. A man was taking Summer by the arm –he was very careful avoiding her skin, touching her only where her peel was covered by her clothes. It was a police man again and he was smiling even they catch him with the hands in the cookie jar. "Are you going to shot this innocent man, agent Doyle? Because this time I'm going to put you easily." The man let Summer go and raised his arms with peace, his mouth was talking but the message came from another person. "I'm waiting for you, Avengers, we're going to have so much fun!" The police man winked one of his eyes with mischievous and turned around to see Summer who was trembling against the wall. "Your father says hi, Six." And then his eyes looked directly to Steve. "And Seven sends you his pardon, he can't see you now but promises you're going to see him soon." He laughed madly and then he fell down unconscious.

"I thought it was impossible… But the world stilled surprising me." The Captain said but Dee had no words for him. "Are you okay…?" He asked to Summer and she nodded instantly, her hand touched the place where the man took her by the arm. "You knew this was going to happen… Why? Who made this?" Summer wasn't looking him, her eyes flew open horrified. "Sully is dead…" She whispered and Steve wrinkled his nose. "He's not… You don't remember Sully is immortal?"

"What?" The girl was certainly confused. "What do you mean with immortal?" Steve shook his head and tried to explain what Aaron did to the boy, Summer shivered falling down to the ground feeling her knees failing. "Why he would do that?" Then a burst of memories crossed her brain painfully. A crash car. The savor of the blood in her mouth. The darkness. Tony. "No!" She cried out trying to escaping from her own memories –maybe the only ones she got from herself, the others came from Sullivan when she used her abilities in him. "LEAVE ME! Tell them to leave! Please! Please!" Summer was freaking out again abandoning herself into the madness, Steve grabbed her by the shoulders trying to calm her. "No! No! Don't touch me! LEAVE ME! You're going to hurt me again! I don't want to sleep! No! No!"

"Own came the rain and washed the spider out." Dee looked at Steve surprised and her mouth flew opened with surprise. He was singing. Summer shut up instantly when she heard the song. "Out came the sun and dried up all the rain…"

"And the Incy Wincy spider climbed up the spout again…" Steve felt she was relaxing herself. The song was helping –he couldn't believe it! Just with a song she turned to normality. "Winnifred…" She whispered lowly but Steve could hear her perfectly. Summer caressed Steve's forearm with an empty eyes –her mind was in another site. He could feel her even was wearing a shirt. His cheeks blushed. "She's the voice in your head, the whisper in your mind… My father created seven, she's the number five. Jake can control someone just with one thought."

"Thank you." Steve helped Summer to stand up and she nodded when he expressed his gratitude.
