Chapter Text
You looked up as you heard a faint sound from above you. Alarm ran through your body. You were too far underground to hear anything normal from the surface. You looked to the small screen in the corner of your room, nothing alarming had appeared on the screen, so whatever was going on above ground must be routine.
Another half hour passed before anything abnormal happened. But when abnormal things happened to you, man did they happen. The second (what had to be an) explosion rocked even your cell, at least six stories below ground. That's when you got up.
The only access to the outside world you had had for the past 10 years came from the very selective news stories provided by your... superiors, for lack of a better word. You knew about random bits of recent pop culture, and of course the Avengers and Shield. You knew they "protected " the world however they saw fit and ruled with unlimited power. It was a terrifying notion, and completely American.
You weren't sure where exactly you were from. It could be America, could be North Korea for all you knew. But you knew you came from somewhere besides here, you had to have. You have these memories, well more of dreams but they felt so real. A woman's voice, a man's laughter, a child's cries, it was the only connection you had to whatever was on the surface.
You were jolted out of your thoughts by a series of grunts coming from outside and entirely too close to your door. Fear shook you to the core. Was this your chance to escape? Were these people fighting to release you, or recapture you and put you through worse torture? Did you even want to leave? All these thoughts raced through your head as you stood frozen hearing the fight move closer to your cell.
A few seconds later and you had made your decision, you were gonna get the hell out of here, whatever it took. You knew they had been messing with your mind, you could never remember anything more than a month into your past, and all you knew was that you were being trained, conditioned for something big. Something that would start a new era. You wanted no part in that.
You glanced through the small glass pane in the door, seeing a tall man and a red haired woman making their way down the hallway, checking every room. Knowing you were only a few doors from being next, you backed yourself into the corner of your cell, not hidden, but out of the way enough that you would see them before they you.
You heard the sound of the keypad outside your door being hacked and took a deep breath, closing your eyes briefly as you heard the lock click and the airlock on your cell deactivate.
Opening your eyes you immediately recognized the overly bright colors of Captain America and knew the woman must be an Avenger also. You knew what these people could do, freezing momentarily before realizing they had no idea what you could do. You scratched at the small piece of metal in your wrist, realizing you had the upper hand. You might not be allowed to use your full strength, but you just might be able to make a run for it.
Just as the red-haired woman turned towards you, you closed your eyes letting your mind reach out into the space in front of you, lifting your hands you opened your eyes just as the woman whispered something about having an enhanced field? You prepared for the worst as she attempted to step towards you. Twisting your hands quickly you forced her clenched fist into her partner's face.
Part of you wanted to stay there, to see how much damage you could make her do before she couldn't take it anymore. You shook your head, Not now, Y/N. Releasing any hold you had on the woman you ran.
Running towards a large staircase at the end of the hall, you sprinted up only to be met with an arrow pointed directly at your face, just as the archer was about to say something you attempted to duck around him and run, only to have something slam into the back of your head and electrocute you. The last thing you heard before blacking out was a man's voice saying, "I tried to warn her."
