"Adira... Adira." She gained no rest while in the "delicate" hands of Loki but, still, she was yet to feel fatigued for Loki's magic kept her from feeling anything but energized and eager to do whatever he pleased. However, their secret, for Adira be successful in the unknown mission, must remain undiscovered. So Adria dropped her eyes and laid her head upon the wall and proceeded to fool them into thinking she wasn't compromised. When they landed it was Fury, Leala and 10 heavily armed guards who greeted them.

Once again the persistent voice echoed her name, but this time it was louder and more emphatic. "Adira," it was Leala who was trying to reach her. She felt she made Leala wait long enough so she slowly opened her eyes then generated a fictitious smiled upon seeing her sister.

"Adira!" Her voice was as bright as her smile. She didn't want to fake her way through greeting everyone, it made her feel uneasy and uncomfortable. "Come on, Director Fury's waiting for us on the Bridge."

"Well then," Adira yawned as she stood up. "Let's not keep them waiting."

They walked off the jet and inside the Helicarrier in silence, which Adira found odd for Leala who could never stop talking whenever they were alone together.

"Is everything okay, Leala?"

She kept her head straight with a smile and didn't even seem to know she had spoken.

"Lee?" Adira spoke again but in a more sympathetic voice.

"What? Oh, sorry did you say something?"

"Yeah..." She took a pause to stare at her. "Is everything okay? You seem awfully distant."

"A lot's happened since you've been gone," she said. "There are new people on deck that I don't know what to think about, I honestly just have my mind on them right now. I don't know them personally so how can trust them... how can dad trust them?"

"He doesn't. You know just as well as I do that he doesn't trust people easily, he just believes in them to do the right thing, but he has a backup plan for every single one of them if the worst happens."

"But isn't believing in someone and trusting them the same?" Leala asked impatiently.

"Trust is what you put into a good friend, you don't have a backup plan for them because you know can 100% count on them. But, to believe in something is to have, at least, a little bit of faith in them but there's always that part in your mind where you question them." Adira began to drift off when she noticed how Leala had taken lead and Adira was now following her... away from the Bridge. "Where are we going?" Adira asked suspiciously. "We're going towards the back of the Helicarrier now." Adira stopped and turned her head to see three guards marching towards her. Adira stepped back in defense mode as two of the guards grabbed her on each side. "What's going on? Leala!"

"I'm sorry, but we were unsure if we could trust you after being held captive by Loki. Please understand."

"You think he brainwashed me?" Adira yelled as she struggled to remove herself from the tight grip of the guards. "He couldn't! He tried to but he couldn't!" She yelled. "Let me go!"

"Take her to Interrogation Room B," Leala ordered. She turned away and walked toward the Bridge.

Adira stopped all resistance, there was no way she could ever escape, even if it were possible where would she go? The Helicarrier was thousands of feet up and there were agents on every floor which would make it impossible to hide.

She watched as agents they passed look at her with confusion and disappointment and it would have hurt too if she actually cared.

The third guard opened the Interrogation Room B door to reveal a large chair with wires, scanners and table where all the information is reviewed by the interrogator. They sat her down and strapped her into the chair where they stuck the nerve monitors on key points on her body like her temples and wrists. When they finished the door opened and in walked, a short petite women with short black hair and brown eyes, her posture was straight and her focus was concentrated on Adira. She motioned for the men to leave.

"Dr. Alethea." Adira sighed as the door closed.

"Hello, Agent Fury." She devilishly smiled.
