"Come with me" Maria grabbed onto her sister's hand, "No one must see that you're here"

Irene obeyed her sister and ducked her head down to cover up her face with her brown hair. She walked quickly but stiffly in the uniform that Maria had given her sister to wear.

She could see people walking all around her and SHIELD being just as busy as they were in the day time. Irene felt her heart quicken as dread filled her up inside. She really didn't want to be here if it meant jeopardizing her sister's career. Irene looked at the corner of her eye over to her sister and tried to mimic her walking to better their performance.

Irene knew all too well why her sister was making her hide this way. It was way past the set hours that Irene was allowed to be in the facility but also, and more importantly, it was because Irene hadn't taken the vaccine. Surprisingly enough, it was Nick Fury's idea to put on the disguise and have Irene come dressed as an agent. He said that if she had come into the facility and people recognized her, someone would've alerted the bosses before they could have their own special meeting.

"I don't understand what's going on" Irene whispered, "Why haven't you alerted anyone? That's exactly why I told you all of this. Wouldn't it be a good idea to do so? Having a private meeting will only divert more time. Jared would win then. Sooner or later, the six days will be over and done with. You guys will have mutants coming in here at all directions with no weapons or equipment to stop them. I know this man. You'll get more then you've ever bargained for"

Maria didn't answer Irene as she practically thrust her into a dark room and nearly slammed the door and quickly locked it. It took Irene a minute to realize that there were other people also in this room with them.

Nick Fury stood in the corner, barely acknowledging her presence, but Steve on the other hand, did. He only just had to get up before Irene ran over to his arms and embraced the tall and strong man.

"They just have a student/teacher relationship, do they?" Nick Fury teased, "Excuse me for the dimly lit room. This is where we interrogate our own agents and neither technology in or out can disrupt this room"

Irene looked over to her sister as she gave her a brief nod. Irene turned back to Fury and nodded to him as well in understanding. Fury got out from his spot and walked over to a seat across from the mutant as Maria followed suit. Irene cautiously sat down next to Steve who placed a hand on her knee. She let out a sigh as she placed her hand upon his.

"Have you ever heard of the mutant Jared before?" Irene asked.

"No" Maria spoke up.

"That's because he's too clever" Irene informed.

"He's not clever" Fury but in, "It's because he's never had the balls to come up and fight his own fights. He just sends out little worms to come and do his bidding"

Steve let out an irritated sigh, "You promised"

"Fine" Fury said curtly.

Irene looked between Steve and Fury and couldn't help but let out a slight giggle. She couldn't believe what she was actually witnessing.

It appeared that Steve had made Fury have a deal with him as to not make fun of mutants. This was the day that Irene practically lived for.

"Does he just sit at home and let his minions do his work for him?" Maria asked.

"Not unless the work gives him a special interest" Irene answered.

"Have you ever been in those kinds of missions with him?"

Irene was about to answer but a big boom and a bunch of yelling had made her jump so high up that she felt her hands shaking after. Fury, Maria, and Steve quickly got up as they all exchanged a three-way glance.

They all charged out of the room, Fury and Maria equipped with guns as they opened the door and then started to fire at the intruders. Irene gasped as she realized that they were all mutants, Jared had moved up the date to that night. Almost like as if thinking of him was like a curse, Jared teleport right in front of her in his stony impenetrable form, pushing Steve and the others farther into the main room and slamming the door shut. Bright lights shone around Irene as she got ready to blast him, but Jared's arm went through the light and hit her so hard that she flew to the other side of the room, hitting both the wall and the floor with a sickening thud.

Irene would've moaned if she tried but she was feeling too much pain to make any sort of sound. She heard heavy footsteps approaching her, making her wince each time.

Jared grabbed her hair and pulled her up to look into his stone cold eyes. The last thing she saw was Steve barging into the room with his shield, yelling at the top of his lungs before she and Jared teleported out.

Steve ran over to where he had last seen Irene and skidded to a stop as he realized that it was no use. He closed his eyes as he felt rage and defeat fill up his very core. Steve heard panicked breathing come from behind him and turned to see Maria charge into the room, bewildered. She ran over to where Steve was standing and gripped onto his arms and looked at him dead in the eye.

Maria sobbed, "Where did he take her?"

Steve opened his mouth to answer but he felt no words to comfort the youngest sister. Maria looked outside the room to the battle still going on as she slowly sank to the ground.

"I don't know" Steve finally answered, "He's got- That's what his plan was the whole time. It was never about SHIELD, it was about her. He thought that she betrayed them-"

"Steve, he's going to kill her" Maria let out.

"No, he won't" Steve told her.

"How could you say that? You saw how he looked!" Maria screamed out, "She's wearing one of my uniforms! He will-"

"You got to pull yourself together" Steve told both her and himself at the same time, "There are people that need us out there"

"My sister needs us right now!" Maria screamed, "He's going to kill her! She's no match for him! He's too strong!"

"I don't know about you, but I see mutants out there. The same mutants-"Steve stopped, "They will know where she is. We just need to keep several and find out where his base is"

"Yes" Maria got up and cocked her gun, "They knew he was going to kidnap her. They knew where he is right now with her"

"Leave them alive" Steve warned, "We can't know where she is if you kill them all. Without that we have nothing"

"Steve" Maria whirled around, "I'll leave them alive. But you didn't say that I could hurt them like hell"

"I never intended to say that"

"Steve, what are you going to do?"

Steve marched out of the room and grabbed the first mutant he saw by the neck and thrust him down onto the ground. He continued to punch the man in his face until finally he had knocked out, he turned back around and smirked before getting up and going over to another mutant.
