Janet sat in a metal chair in a black room, cameras in all four corners and a metal table in front of her. She rocked back and forth in her chair a bit for some reason she felt a bit nervous and fidgety. She chuckled a bit she figured she was acting like a kid waiting outside the principal's office and not knowing why. She looked up and waved at each of the camera's trying to get this feeling to go away she had been in a shield room like this before so she assumed it was just to lecture her about using shield as her own personal locksmith.

The wall opened up as Maria hill walked in with a tablet in her hands before placing it down on the table in front of Janet. "Okay Janet we need to talk."

Janet sighed, "I know I should not go off like I did and drag shield into that kind of situation I will make a formal apology to the UN."

"That is not why you are here. I got the okay from the UN to be allowed to go after Royals in any country that is part of it."

"So then what is the problem?"

"This." The tablet lit up and a 3D image of Janet appeared as well as a model of the throne room she was in earlier, "I had my agents go over this and all the other battles you had in Royal instillations in the last little while and I have to say something does not add up?"

"What are you talking about?" Janet looked at the screen closely, "I gave you my report."

"Your injuries don't fit you took them all when full sized and facing an enemy like that you would not grow until you were positive they were down. If I follow your report on the battle you took them all while about five inches in size."

"Come on Maria the Pym particles might have changed the injuries as they added mass to my body."

"It has never happened before Janet or did you forget I have all your medical records and knowledge of your fights."

"Well things can change over time."

"Then how about how the burns and shots at the bases where you captured Kings and Ajaws are all days old and all stem from one point in the room as if deliberately fired in that pattern."

"What are you saying Maria!"

"Are you working with the Royals?"

Janet struck the table with both hands and stood up, "I do not have to take this from you I am getting out of here!"

Maria grabbed Janet's arm as she tried to walk past her, "No you are not."

"You want to bet." Janet tried to shrink turning her head to Maria. "What have you done to me?"

"Nothing we have just placed you in a room with a Pym particle disrupter you cannot use your powers in here."

Janet pushed Maria away, "well I can still fight normally."

"You mean you could." Maria drew a gun from her holster and fired it into Janet's chest a second later Janet was passed out on the floor. Maria looked up at the camera, "So I guess we were right."

The door opened again and Anax walked in wearing a full shield uniform, "I am sorry this happened I had no idea they were doing this to her."

Maria turned to him, "Can you fix her?"

Anax sighed, "She is not broken from what I can see it is most likely a pure mental thing. There are only a few ways to try and repair her."

"Okay what are they."

"Years of therapy with the best doctors in the world but that will take too long and you have a high risk of her getting out. We erase her memory of the last few months but that would probably do more damage then you want plus she can relapse and get them back. There is one more it is quick and probably the best but you won't like it."

"What is it?" Maria looked at him with a serious look on her face ready to take all options into consideration.

"You let me break her and you rebuild her."

Maria shook her head, "You want to torture her until she is back to how we found her months ago?"

"No I will have to break her more take away everything she is and was. Then we use the people in her life to rebuild her make her into who she was before she even met the royals. We make a new true Wasp"

Maria looked at Janet, "What will this cause to her mentally?"

"It will hurt her more knowing that shield is behind it that they are willing to let this happen. It will help me but it might break her trust with you."

Maria turned away, "Do it. It is our only option right now that can work Lupe."

Anax sighed, "I hate that code name."

"It fits you perfectly besides we cannot keep calling you that otherwise people will figure out who you are faster."

Lupe sighed, "I will need my chairs brought to this room as well as the black crate I have in holding. I will need all this furniture gone and Janet stripped down to a bikini I am going to do this as fast as possible. I will also need you to have the only access code besides me into this room I will let you have your doctors watch but they cannot interfere."

Maria walked out of the room, "Fine then we will have it all for you within the hour she will be awake in three so take your time setting up I want this done right."

Janet felt the cold splash of water across her face and she gasped for air waking up in an instant looking around she saw the same black room with four camera in the corners. She found her legs cuffed to a wooden chair so were her wrists. Around her stomach was a belt keeping her in place then to her shock stood the man she hated most in the world Anax except he was wearing a shield uniform. "You will let me go now Anax."

"Please Janet we both know I can't and call me Lupe now that is the code name shield felt I deserve as an agent." Lupe smiled a bit as he walked over to a black crate that came to his waist and was just wide enough to fit through a door way. He placed his hand on the top and chuckled, "You know they wanted to make my crate here hand print specific I laughed and showed them my scarred hand they had to install a special one for me." A metal spike shot up through his hand from the crate then disappeared, "They decided to go for dna instead Maria Hill's idea to make it a spike like that. She can be so cruel and yet so kind I find it refreshing in a leader." The crate lit up and divided itself into cubes that were on metal poles the cubes then opened revealing hundreds of instruments in them some recognizable as scalpels, drill bits, pliers and torches others so strange they made you sick to look at. The back of the crate open up revealing the longer tools as well as drills saws and many other devices one could only guess how they could be used.

Janet Began to struggle still finding it impossible to shrink in size just glad she was not feeling shocks like she did when she was captured by the Royals, "Maria is letting you do this! You are an agent of shield." Janet dropped her head looking at the ground those simple sentences snapping her mind as if it broke, "How can you work for shield after what you did!"

"It seems my skills are more needed then we thought," He picked up scalpel, "Now then Janet why are you working for the Royals?"

"I am not working for them!"

Lupe sighed, "We have proof that you are even more then they told you. You contracted the building of devices that shield will and is using to contain super powered criminals to a company owned by the Royals." He placed his hand on hers pushing his fingers between hers to keep them spread and flat on the chair handle. "Thanks to shield I have gotten new looks at torture and healing I have to thank you for introducing them to me." He took the scalpel and cut a gash up her finger from where the nail comes out of the finger up to the first joint. Janet screaming each time he did it to finger.

Janet looked right at what he was doing hating herself for still being trained to do that when he was near. Her eyes watering not from pain but from the shame she felt of still being under Lupe's control for so long. "I didn't know they worked with the Royals!"

"Do not lie Janet you knew how could you not after all the intel I gave you I told you which companies were just fronts." He walked over to his crate of tools and picked up four metal oval shaped rings and a piece of flat metal with a hole in it. He walked towards her with the rings, "You have until the forth ring is used to tell me the truth or I do this to the next hand." He grabbed hand holding her index finger still he opened the ring and began to push it into the slit he had cut. Janet screamed as he worked it pushing it so it began to cut her flesh and push under her nail from behind. She would be able to see her nail lift up the ring snaking through it until it reached the center he placed the metal bar on the nail the hole just above the point of the ring. He then began to press down hard wiggling the ring as Janet screamed in pain until the point on the ring popped out he took the metal bar off and closed the ring so it was looping inside her nail.

"I told you I am not working for them I hate the Royals just as much as I hate you!" She began to scream again as she felt him working on her middle finger. The pain on this was even worse than before if she moved her index finger it rubbed against his hand and the ring pulled her nail up making it bleed more. "I swear Maria I am not working for them." She felt him finally reach her pinky her hand covered in blood and not being able to move her fingers for fear of pain she looked at the final ring then felt it under her nail, "I am working for them I am helping them cleanse their ranks!"

Lupe smirked and finished putting the ring through her nail listening to her scream as he did, "Now we are getting somewhere Janet you are speaking the truth." He walked back to his crate and picked up a large staple gun, "this place has made me the tools I could only dream of." He walked back to Janet and pinned her left hand down, "Now keep your fingers still." He began to fire staples around her fingers until they were all held into the wood on the chair making it impossible for Janet to move them, "It took me a day to get the setting right on this for both width and strength. It has to be powerful enough to go into the wood and hold a finger in place yet not to powerful that it breaks the finger bones. I think I broke six of my bones to get it right." He put the gun back in the box and pulled out a small metal block with two bars sticking out the side. "New question who was it that convinced you to work for the Royals. I have my guesses but we need to be sure." He knelt down beside her only to feel Janet's spit hit his cheek. Lupe stood up and struck her across the face, "Was it the Angel?"

Janet spat out blood and glared at him, "Who is that?"

He placed the metal block over her middle finger nail, "The woman who we sent in after I was done to clean you and feed you." He slid the metal clock forward once it reached the tip of her finger a curl fell to the ground he had scraped off a small layer of it.

"All she did was give me a small piece of kindness to hold onto between your cruelty!"

Lupe drew the block across her nail a few more times before he pressed on the nail with the corner of the metal block the force bruising the flesh, "She was the only one allowed to see you beside me so I know it had to be her. What did she do to you?" He scraped off a bit more this time he removed a bit of flesh as Janet screamed.

Janet never took her eyes off his work she knew it just meant more pain if she did, why had her mind fallen back into that state so easily. "She talked to me!"

Lupe smiled working on her index finger, "What else did she do?" He continued to scrape getting closer and closer to her flesh not stopping even when she spoke.

"She fed me food that disgusting mush she cleaned my wounds washed my body." Janet screamed as Lupe hit her flesh only to move on to her ring finger, "She would give me shots of a medication so I would sleep she even gave me a change of clothes a few times that is all she did I swear!" She screamed loudly when he dug into her flesh once more."She sang to me she sang to me!"

Lupe stopped and looked at her right in the eyes, "She sang to you?"

Janet nodded, "Yes she did."

Lupe looked to a camera, "Get Maria down here now!" He pulled out a small spray can out of a pouch on his belt he quickly sprayed it over the nails he shaved down then left the room.

Maria was waiting in the hall for him, "What do you need?"

"I can't fix her like this."

"What do you mean you can't fix her? I am letting you do this because you said you can!"

"I know but I did not know the woman who cared for her was the choir angel."

"The who?"

"The choir angel a mutant with powers augmented in the magical realm I heard a rumor she has even drank angel blood."

"So what is so bad about her?"

"Her power is that when she sings your mind will go blank you won't move you won't feel pain it is said that every breath you take when she sings is like pure bliss."

"I have heard of that mutant before she died after she got stabbed in the throat by an anti-mutant group member at performance at her school she was 7 years old."

"Yeah that is the story the world knows. You see in the crowd was a Royal another Anax who was watching her trying to recruit her family just to have her. He was able to save her life but she could no longer speak let alone sing her parents feared for her so they gave her to him so she could lead a normal life."

"I take it this didn't happen."

"Not even close you see they had me due multiple surgeries on her."

"So how come you didn't recognize her."

"All I was allowed to see was her lips and neck during the surgery she was to be a huge secret that they could use any time to help you know cleanse the blood line. I could only repair the throat to the point where she could whisper in a hoarse voice not sing so I thought that was the end of it." He was cleaning the blood off his hands with a cloth now, "About 4 years ago I heard of a girl who had helped the Royals take over a whole corporation with just a song and I knew it was her and what happened."

"What happened?"

"The man who had made me due the surgery was also what you call a sorcerer."

"Great more magic," Maria crossed her arms she hated when they had to deal with it, it was never easy.

"Yes he taught her magic and augmented her throat with it fixing it to the point that it is stronger than before she was almost killed. As she sings her mutant powers turns of a person's mental blocks even the best psychic would probably be susceptible to her. She then uses her magic to change a person's thinking implanting new traits new ways to hide things."

"And what did the angel blood do?"

"No clue I think it was just a story to add to her mystery." He shrugged, "So now that I know this I am going to need help."

"That is something I did not expect to leave your mouth," Maria smirked a bit.

"Yes well I can't read minds or cast spells on them all I can do is a break a person down to where we can do it easier."

Maria scoffed a bit, "So what do you need?"

"Not what, who."

"Okay then who do you need?"

"I need Steven Strange and a few telepaths preferably ones who won't mess with Janet's mind and hurt her."

"I am thinking Rachelle Summers and Elizabeth Braddock."

"That should do it...I will keep breaking down Janet you bring them here within the week if possible." He turned to enter the room again only to have Maria grab his shoulder her turned around to look at her.

Maria had a gaze of steel towards him but he could see the flickers of concern on her face as she spoke, "Make sure this will work I...shield needs her back."

"What about the avengers what will they do when they find out about this?"

"You let me worry about that and just do your job."

Lupe nodded and entered the room once more Janet glaring at him and he simply smiled, "Shall I continue?" He walked over to his crate, "Wait you have no choice."

Janet kicked her legs a bit she would have tried to move her hands and arms but that was too painful. "I am not going to give you any more info!"

Lupe laughed, "You say that but you always do. Besides I also do this for my enjoyment." He picked up a small hammer and then put it down, "No not yet." He turned to look her over, "I see something I have not yet used on you yet." He pulled out two foot long soft metal tubes and a blue rubber ball before he walked towards her placing a hand on her forehead she pushed it back so Janet was looking up at the ceiling. Janet began to shake her head then stopped when Lupe grabbed one of the rings on her finger and almost ripped a nail off. He then began to force a tube up her nose not caring that scraped the inside causing her to bleed. He worked slowly pushing the metal into so it would bend and go down her throat. He repeated this process with her other nostril and then stepped back, "Did you really kill two kings and two Ajaw."

Janet spoke in a gargled voice, "Yes I did!"

Lupe sighed, "I do not believe you would if they were using you to cleanse the blood line why kill those in charge." He pressed a small hole on the ball up to the metal tube in her right nostril and squeezed it.

It took Janet a second before she began to scream and shake her head tears coming from her eyes, "What is this!" As she spoke her nose and throat was burning the pain spreading down deeper into her body.

"It is sodium hydroxide it is a nice little powder that reacts with water or in this case the fluids in your body to create intense heat." He walked over to his crate and picked up a green squeeze bottle and smirked, "This can stop it but you have to tell me the truth."

"I am telling you the truth they used me to get rid of those they found sloppy and weak even the Kings and Ajaw." She coughed for a second then vomited all over herself this stopped the pain for a second but was then increased almost instantly.

Lupe placed the ball against the tube in her left nostril and squeezed it then stepped back as Janet screamed her throat burning her mouth burning it seemed to even work its way to her lungs. "Now did you give us the bodies of the kings?"

"No! I didn't they wanted to give shield the feeling of putting pressure on an enemy they wanted shield to focus on what they knew and quickly moved their other more important stations to new locations."

Lupe grinned, "Very good Janet." He placed the tip of the squeeze bottle into the right tube and squeezed a liquid up into it and into Janet's body. He did the same with the other tube and smiled before spraying the liquid in Janet's mouth, "Swirl and spit Janet."

Janet felt the surge of liquid rush through her body instantly getting the taste and smell of vinegar. Janet swirled and spit out the liquid coughing and gagging before looking up at him as she burped, "I am..."

"Yes yes kill me when you are free. You need to get a new line girl." He looked around and chuckled, "Do you remember the final number I gave you Janet on the day you were rescued."

"19345 that number will always haunt me."

"And it seems you have made that 20000, I wanted to reach with you so easily."

"I only killed those who were weak and would hurt the blood line."

"Yes and that is what I did Janet I cleansed the blood line of the weak and those who could lead to our ruin." He smiled as he walked back over to his crate, "Yet this time I feel it is different for you much worse. This time you chose to end the lives of those in the 12 instillations you attacked did you keep track of this number too Janet?" He knelt down, "I did you killed 5500."

"I did not kill I cleansed the blood line!"

"Yes but how did you do it? How did you cleanse the blood line you killed them. You flew in no back up taking them out not removing the masks as fast as you could. You let them die you killed them not me not the Royals you did it with your own hands!" He picked up a half metal dome and walked over to Janet putting it on the ground over her feet. "Your weakness killed 19345 people but your will your plans killed 5500. You have blood on your hands Janet and I will remind you of these people each day until it sinks in!"

"I did what had to be done what my emperor asked of me!" Janet looked at the dome, "Seems to simple for you Lupe are you getting weak since you left the Royals."

"No I simply found new more interesting was to torture." He pushed a button on the back of it before he walked over to his crate once more, "Remember the first number I told you it was small maybe about 300 you cried so hard that day I could barely work on you." He picked up a yellow box with two buttons on it and four different wires with long thin needles on the ends. Lupe slowly began to unwind the wires as he moved back to Janet the metal dome was now glowing a dull red he then took the needles attached to the wires and pushed them into the back of Janet's calves then into the small muscle mass in front of her shin. He did this to both legs and slowly stood up with a bit of a grin.

"That number was your doing not mine! Their blood is on your hands I know that now!"

Lupe shook his head pressing a button on the yellow box Janet yelped then screamed as the top of her foot hit the metal done burning her flesh for a second before she could push her foot down. "No they are on you and your weakness you are not strong enough to save lives all you can do is take them!"

"I do not kill people!"

"You killed over 2000," He pressed the other button her left foot taping the metal dome with a sizzle like bacon hitting a hot pan. "You could have stopped the last 5500!"

"I could not they needed to be purged! The blood line needs to remain strong!"

"Then why did you cry over the 19345 so much you couldn't even talk on the last day!" He pushed the buttons together making Janet scream, "Why do their lives mean more then the 5500 you just killed!"

"They don't they are the same!"

"That is right they are the same they are not weaknesses they were people like the others."

Janet began to cry again not from the pain she was feeling but from the pain of her mind cracking as she learned this new truth. Yet somehow Janet had not realized this her mind forming a new lie to keep itself safe, "They could not be saved they had fallen too much they were no longer Royals."

Lupe pushed a button again holding it for a second as the metal dome cooked the skin on her feet, "If they weren't Royals then they were innocents."

Janet shrieked and shook her head the thoughts rushing into it about what she had done, "No they can't be innocent I would never harm or kill a soul!"

"Yet you would lead them to their deaths because the Emperor said they needed to be cleansed yes you did not kill anybody you just made them die!" He pressed both buttons on his yellow box making Janet scream as her feet touched the metal of the done he held it until he could smell her flesh burning then let her drop them. "I am done with you for now."

"Is that all you can stomach you were so much worse in that cave!"

Lupe laughed, "Oh no I can and will do more to you I just can't stomach to listen to you preach like your still a hero." He picked up a box and dropped it by her chair a second later it began to unfold and form a circular track around Janet. There were two small carts on the track one quickly moved to the opposite side of the track then both began raise black metal poles. The metal poles then fanned out to create half pipe facing Janet one began to glow red the other began to blow a blade of ice cold air at Janet. The two carts then began to slowly move around the track one cooking Janet the other freezing her body.

Janet closed her eyes for a second she knew what was going to happen when the two began to reach where the other was just at. "You think this will be hard on me I can last longer than you think."

Lupe nodded, "Yes you can but I also know what will keep breaking you what hurt you most in those two weeks I had you and I promised Maria I would have you broken within the week so imagine what I am going to do to you." He placed two white cubes in the corners of the room facing Janet a second later they began to flash creating a powerful strobe light effect on the room. "I will see you in two hours Janet and remember 5500 people have died because you chose to become a Royal 5500 more you could have prevented by simply being a true hero!" He left the room turning off the light so all Janet could see was the flashing lights and feel her skin cook and freeze.

Janet yelled at him still not able to move her hands and feet she had to sit there and take all the pain no chance to escape to a corner no chance to get some place she could trick herself that she was safe. She moved her foot a bit then screamed as she burnt her little toe, "I will kill him!" Janet looked up at a camera, "I will not let any of you get away with this!"
