Steve's POV:
Noise. I started to hear noise. As the minutes went by, it became clearer. There were rapid footsteps, people talking in a distance, them typing on computers, using power tools. Just everything was coming at me, all at once. I started to open my eyes but my vision was still a blur. I felt the rough bed under me and I used it to get up.
"Hey just take it easy... Sorry, I wasn't here for all the fun. Guess I was a little late" I heard Sam say. I rubbed my eyes open and there he was sitting next to me.
"Did she take-" I could barely say. I didn't know why my body felt so drained, just so tired.
"No. The King got here before I did… but the King's team is working on getting the machine holding Barnes, back and running again" Sam said.
"Why? What happened to it?"
"I don't really know but I'm guessing she fried it. They dropped the temperature in the room but they have a straitjacket on standby when he starts showing signs of waking up" Then I remembered the last moment before blacked out.
"The woman that was here. She injected me with something… What was it?"
"That is the million-dollar question around here. They ran some test on you, they found nothing. while they found traces of just heavy sedatives in the others"
"Did everyone else wake up already?"
"No… but there's something you need to know. It's about Wanda"
"What about her? She is alright?"
Writer's POV:
While on the other side of the building, where they were holding the woman. An hour passed Clint, Scott and the rest of the guards started to wake up. Clint and Scott made their way towards where the woman was. It was a closed box looking type of room with big clear glass windows. There was no color in the room, everything was white. The woman laid in her bed while from the Watch Room; Clint and Scott along with King T'Challa and some of his men did just that. They watched over the woman, all of them waiting for her to wake up.
The woman started to wake up. Clint and Scott went down to see her. They watched as she held her head and looked around confused. She turned around just to find Clinton and Scott and everyone else from the Watch Room. The woman got up and she noticed that she was stripped from all her weapons and gadgets. She gave a light chuckle.
"I really hope it was a woman that frisked me..." She let out and her voiced echoed around the entire room and in the Watch Room. She looked over to Scott still holding her head.
"Hey you, where is my armor and my stuff?" She questioned.
"Why? it's not like you'll be getting it back" Scott replied.
"That's what you think" The woman said.
"No. No. No. it's what I know" Scott said.
"Oh ok. Scott Lang a.k.a Antman. Is it?" She said. It took Scott by surprise that she knew who he was. The woman paced around the room. All she had in that room was a bed and a empty desk.
"Being trapped in a box is sooo past due" the woman joked sounding frustrated. In a second she picked up the desk and threw it at the window. Scott and Clint ducked for cover but the window didn't break but the desk did.
"Aw man... This is little bit over board for an Asylum treating mental illnesses. Don't you think?" She asked looking at the people in the Watch Room. King T'Challa made his way into the White Room.
"That is because this room was designed just in case Barnes got lose" The King answered.
"Yes, I figured. Your Highness" the woman smirked at the King as she slowly bowed her head to him. But the King didn't paid no attention to her. The woman looked towards Clint's way and noticed he was holding the left side of his lower back.
"Clinton, how are you by the way?" She asked.
"The whole left side of my body hurts from being body slammed to the floor so thank you for asking" He answered angrily.
"You are welcome" She replied.
There was a loud bang, all heads turned to the door. Steve stormed into the White Room as rushed down the stairs and then got close to the window. Steve and the woman looked at each other for a slit second. The woman noticed the rage, pain and even guilt in his eyes. She smiled which only made Steve angrier.
"Start talking because by the looks of it, you're not going anywhere soon... so TALK!" Steve demanded.
"Woah Steven, what's with the tone?" She joked. Clint and Scott left the White Room and went back the Watch Room.
"You almost killed Wanda-!" Steve was cut off.
"ALMOST! that's the word you should take more under consideration. If I wanted to kill her, I would have and you know it… I do apologize for taking it as far as I did and her being a kid and all. But I have a very low tolerance for those who try and mess with my head" the woman said turning her back to him. Steve looked at the woman and something caught his eye. Then all Steve could think about was Bucky and how Bucky would react after being controlled; having people mess with your mind for years and what all that could do to a person. With that Steve knew the woman didn't want to really hurt anyone because if she did, she would have done a lot much worse than just putting everyone to sleep. Steve realized that the reason Wanda got it worst was because of her power over the mind. And that's why Wanda was the only one that was seriously injured. Having been under her powers, Steve knew that Wanda had the ability to break just about anyone. This gave everything Steve needed to know.
"Who sent you?" He asked.
"No one" She simply answered.
"I have all day to do this you know" Steve said.
"And apparently so do I" the woman said as her eyes wandered around her room.
"You wanna try that again?" He questioned.
"If you haven't noticed, I don't have any reinforcements. I came on my own" the woman replied.
"Why? Did you decide to come for him?" Steve finally just asked. Steve watched her reaction to the question but the woman just kept an emotionless face on. She didn't answer, she just turned her back to him again. And Steve saw that thing that caught his eye again. He stared at it.
"That symbol; that's branded on the back of your neck… it's HYDRA's. Are you another one of their soldiers?" Steve asked you could almost hear the sympathy in his voice. The woman looked like she was in her early 20's and definitely no older than 30. The woman came right up to the glass window and she was in Steve's face.
"What do you think? You and your team are pretty smart. I'm sure you can figure it out" the woman said her voice sounding so gentle, smooth and captivating. It was almost as Steve was being mesmerize by her.
"Umm. Her watch is beeping. We-We don't know what it does" Sam said through the intercom a little shaky. Steve snapped out of it and quickly looked back at the Watch Room and then back at the woman who was slowly walking towards the bed in her room.
"Your James will be waking up soon. Make sure to take precautions" She said taking a seat on the bed. She turned her head to look at Steve.
"You don't know which version of him you will get when he wakes" She said and then just laid down on the bed. And then Steve left the Room.
About An Hour Later
When Steve left the White Room, a couple of minutes later. The doctors looking over Barnes said that he is showing signs of waking up. So they all just waited for Barnes to wake. Within the group they started to discuss the reasons why they thought she would come for him.
"But what could HYDRA still want with him?" Scott asked.
"Well, whatever it is they put in him. It's still there" Steve replied.
"Right. Right. Right they just have to say the magic words and it comes out" Scott said.
"They could just be trying to gather back all the things they don't have anymore" Sam said
"But that still doesn't explain why she would come alone" Clinton said.
"By the way she kicked all of our asses, she didn't need to bring anybody else" Scott added under his breath. Steve and Clinton just looked at him with serious face.
"Well, its true" Scott said in a low tone then a doctor came into the room.
"Mr. Rogers… He's awake" the doctor said.
They went to the room. King T'Challa was there standing in front of Barnes talking to him as Steve entered the room, King T'Challa stopped talking and stepped aside. Steve noticed that Sam wasn't lying about them having a straitjacket for him. It bothered Steve to see Bucky in that jacket. Barnes looked at Steve.
"So what's this I hear about someone coming for me" Barnes said. As Barnes took a good look at Steve and then others. He knew something was off.
"What's wrong with you? All of you actually?" He asked.
"Well besides the fact that we got our asses handed to by a girl. I think we're ok" Scott answered. The part quickly got Barnes attention.
"A girl?" He quickly questioned.
"Yeah and we believe from HYDRA" Steve answered. Barnes looked at bit confused.
"W-What did she look like?" Barnes asked. Instead of answering, they just took Barnes to the Watch Room. The woman was lying in the bed, they couldn't see her face. So they showed Barnes her face on one of cameras they had in that room. Barnes saw her face and his eyes wided, he moved closer to the screen. Steve watching him, Steve knew Barnes knew her.
