Janet sat behind her desk her hands moving over the screen quickly as she could adjusting fashion designs approving and denying purchase in all her departments. She tapped a red speaker logo on the screen, "Brian can I see you in here for a second."

A minute later Brian walked in with a smile dressed in a blue suit with a shiny blue bow tie with pink poodles on it. He ran his hand through his black hair, "You needed me Janet."

Janet nodded and came around from behind her desk never standing up she was in a wheel chair. It was simple and plain obviously not meant for extended use, "I just got the logo back for the company I have to say I am happy with how it was done." She pressed the screen of the tablet in her lap and on her computer popped up the new logo the center of the logo was a set of four letters. In blue was T laying on its side a red F stood straight up a green M was on its side and facing down was a pink D. The letters all knotted into each other going over and under each other as if random but perfectly organized. Around the outside in a circle in gold letters was Van Dyne Industries. "What do you think?"

Brian looked it over and smiled, "It is perfect." He pressed a few buttons on his tablet and grinned as the logo was sent to all employees and then added to the top of all company e-mails. It was sent out to their label makers, "I am having all new lab coats made up with the logo as well as shirts and jackets."

"That was fast Brian."

He shrugged a bit, "I have been waiting for this for a long time all I had to do was send the e-mails."

Janet nodded and wheeled herself over to a wall of papers, "So what do we have planned next?"

Brian looked at her, "To start you have to give up that chair Janet."

"I can't Brian every time I stand up all my joints scream in pain my feet can't handle the pressure I even have a hard time turning a door knob."

"I have talked with the doctors Janet you are fully healed there should be no pain."

Janet glared at him, "So what I am making it up!"

"I am not saying that," Brian raised his hands up, "What I am saying is that there is no medical reason for the pain. You have been back to work now for two months."

"You do not know what it is like!" Janet began to tear up a bit.

"I am not saying I do."

"Then don't talk to me about it!"

Brian knelt down besides her, "I am talking about it because I care about you and I want to help."

Janet began to remember what had happened the week after she left the compound she was held in. She remembered the morning she woke up and standing in her private hospital room was Brianna and Maria Hill. Janet looked around her room and smiled it had been filled with flowers from people she cared about and even some fruit, muffin, and chocolate baskets. "So I guess it is time for me debriefing?"

Maria nodded and smiled pulling up a chair, "Yeah but first how are you doing?" She sat down something she only did when she was comfortable with the people in the room.

Janet sighed, "Insides hurt like hell I think my body has been bruised from the inside out. Hurts to move my knees and arms, my finger nails keep leaking fluids and look horrible plus I stink like hospital."

Maria nodded, "good news is after your scan and tests the doctors say you will recover with no side effects they doubt you will even have a scar on your body. Your kidneys and liver are bruised slightly but that will repair itself. You have a bit of fluid on your lungs they are going have to get out a bit later so you might be short of breath for a while. They say once your cuts are healed you will be able to start physiotherapy and get back to how you were in a few months."

Janet sighed, "Never thought I would be happy to have such a skilled torturer." She chuckled a bit then winced, "Remind me not to laugh for a bit."

Brianna chuckled, "Guess we should get rid of the joke cards and block you tube."

Janet laughed and winced, "So did you get Anax?"

Maria looked at Janet, "Which one was he?"

"The man covered head to toe in scars?"

"He wasn't one of the ten we took down in the raid."

Janet looked at her, "10! Out of the hundred in the bunker you got 10!"

"Janet that place could only hold 12 workers at max. Even if the doubled up or tripled up on bunks there is no way a place that small could hold that many."

"How big was it?"

"There was the elevator room at the top that took us down into a stone and metal reception room that once you got passed the door you found yourself in sort of a common area with a kitchen tv couches desks computers standard small operation gear. A side room was full of guns and their servers next to it was a bunk room with 12 beds one for each person and two bathrooms. Then at the back down a small hall way was where they held you and that was it except a long winding escape tunnel."

Janet shook her head, "He told me they a hundred in the base that if you attacked he would have them all killed." She yelped as she tried to curl up, "Oh god what else did he lie to me about in those for weeks."

Brianna blinked, "Janet it was only two weeks."

Janet began to tear up, "Oh god I killed 19345 in two weeks!" She began to cry hard as she did Brianna grabbed her and held her.

Maria looked at her, "How did you kill people in that room?"

"Everything I told them he would kill people over!" She shook her head, "No matter what I said they killed people for it!"

Maria looked at her in shock, "What did you tell them!"

Janet was crying hard into Brianna's shoulder as Brianna looked back, "This is the end of your visit Maria you have upset her too much."

Maria stood up and shook her head, "Fine but I will be back tomorrow I need to know everything." She turned around and left the room passing a set of four shield agents posted outside the room.

It was the next day when Maria knocked on the door Janet was sobbing as she looked at her mashed potatoes then yelled throwing her tray into the wall. With and angered looked she stared at Maria, "What do you want!"

Maria stood with her hands behind her back, "I need to know more of what happened."

"First I want answers, how did it take so long to find me!"

Maria looked straight into Janet's eyes, "we had no leads you went after somebody without our knowledge or telling us who. How were we supposed to track you down?"

Janet turned away, "Fine then, how did you find me?"

"Sayuki."

"What do you mean Sayuki?"

"Sayuki got out after a week and half of torture."

Janet smiled a bit, "So she was the strong one."

"It was no easy task for her to get out. Any chance of her getting her blood out was blocked from what we could tell."

"How did she do it?"

"She gave herself bloody noses by breathing in and out rapidly drying it out and causing irritation over a few hours. She would then force the mist of blood towards the metal bindings on the chamber holding her. It took her a long time to weaken them enough that she could get out after that she took out the 12 people in her bunker and got out. It took her three days of wondering the Alaskan wilderness to find a town and contact us."

Janet smiled a bit more, "She is very clever."

"She took us back to the bunker and we were able to track the rest of you down through the signal they sent out when they had that little torture show."

Janet growled, "It wasn't a show!"

"Sorry it was a bad choice of words."

"So we were all in Alaska."

"No just Sayuki. Lyrica was in the Philippines Aoife was in Poland and you were in the Australian outback."

"How are they doing?"

"Sayuki is doing good not much damage physically so she is walking and doing a bit of training, Aoife is back to training hard at the gym you have in New York. Lyrica is in a shield hospital she is recovered physically just she is a bit weak mentally she breaks down at the sound of pouring water." Maria moved a bit closer, "Now then time to answer my questions? What did they get out of you?"

Janet looked down and began to say what she told Anax on the first day she looked to her knee and then grabbed a water jug and vomited right into it. She would continue this for three minutes until she was only spitting out bile. She looked up then winced gripping her knee she looked at her hand and began to scream she could see her black and yellow nails and it all came rushing back. All the torture all the pain and all she could do was scream and cry as doctors and nurses rushed in pinning her down before sedating her and holding her still until she passed out.

Maria looked to the doctor, "How often does this happen?"

The doctor picked up Janet's chart and began write on it, "At least 4 times a day. The worse is she can't sleep unless we make her chemically. If she does fall asleep on her own she wakes up scream and thrashing she has destroyed a few pieces of equipment already. Whatever happened to her was not just physical but mental who ever tortured her knew what they were doing. If they had become a doctor he would easily be the best in the world I mean he patched wounds that most surgeons would walk away from."

Maria looked to the doctor, "From the test and observations can you tell me what was done to her and how?"

The doctor shook her head, "No I cannot the cuts and injuries are so specialized we would need her to tell us everything then build it from there. What I can say is all her wounds would not threaten her life in any way it was perfectly done."

Maria would return to the hospital every day over the next few days to see Janet and try to get info from her. Each time she was met with a different Janet a crying Janet an angry Janet a calm Janet even a completely silent Janet. Each visit ended the same Janet having to be sedated they were all lucky she had chosen somewhere deep inside not to change size or try to run. What they did not know was the fear Janet had in changing size it always brought on pain when she was captured and still feared it did.

Janet would be in bed for an entire week not leaving it until she was told she was ready to do physiotherapy. It was painful for her to even stand at first but she slowly worked up her muscles again her wounds fully closing not a scar left over. Her nails had been removed and replaced by special covers that were painted the same yellow that was on her costume. She worked hard to regain herself but all she could feel was pain and would stop after only 10 minutes. It was a week after she started physiotherapy that she was allowed to go home as long as Brianna would stay with her. She would spend the rest of her time in and out of doctor's offices both medical and mental. Yet in all this time she remained in a wheel chair unable to and unwilling to stand again.

Brian smiled kindly at his boss as he knelt there, "How about some good news then. I am getting married next summer to Audrey and we both want you there."

Janet grinned looking up at him a bit she reached around and hugged him, "That is wonderful you both deserve to be happy." Janet leaned back in her chair, "Just so you know your honeymoon is on me, think of it as a bonus for all the work you do."

Brian smiled widely, "That is...wow...that is amazing...are you sure?"

Janet nodded, "I will send you a list of all the places I have on permanent reservation you can use any of those."

"I already know which one we want."

"I forget you know everything I have for reserved."

"So would you like an update on your girls?"

Janet nodded, "Of course."

"Well Aoife and Sayuki are both fully training next door both determined to not be taken again. Lyrica is training lightly and is no longer afraid of the pouring water sound she will be taking on a full load within the month. They are all waiting for you to come join them."

Janet sighed then smiled as Pete flew into the office and landed on Janet's lap cooing until she began to pet him, "I will join them when I can walk again."

"Aoife said the pool is set up now and she is willing to help you with your exercises."

"I will go when I am ready." She was getting a bit upset and began to wheel herself over to her desk, "Take down the finished fashion and marketing projects and you can go back to work."

Brian nodded and walked over to the wall as he began to unpin them from the wall, "We are all planning on going out for a meal after work today we would love to have you join us. I think being around people might help."

Janet didn't answer him she picked up a set of head phones and turned on her music listening to it as she began to work again. The only one she seemed to let get close now was Pete and Brian couldn't blame her to much she was looking at each person with distrust never sure who was a royal in secret.
