XXVII. Goodbye

Skylar was in a shock collar, a muzzle for her voice mimicry, and a straight jacket. This was exactly what hydra was like. Wanda had been to a "a more secure area."

An echo of mock clapping filled the air. "The Futurist, ladies and gentlemen!" Clint said sarcastically, his words full of venom and hate. "The Futurist is here! He sees all! He knows what's best for you, whether your like it or not."

"Give me a break, Barton. I had no idea they'll put you here. Come on." Tony says innocently

The archer spat. "Yeah, well, you knew they'd put us somewhere, Tony." "Yeah, but not some super-max floating ocean pokey. You know, this place is for maniacs. This is a place for—"

"Criminals?" He stood up. "Criminals, Tony. Think that's the word you're looking for." He eyes Tony through the bars. "Right? That didn't used to mean me. Or Sam, Sky, or Wanda. But here we are."

"Because you broke the law." Tony stated. "Yeah." Clint mumbled.

"I didn't make you." Skylar sighed irritated at Tony's actions.

"La, la, la, la, la..."

"You read it, you broke it."

"La, la, la, la la..."

"Alright, you're all grown up, you got a wife and kids. I don't understand, why didn't you think about them before you chose the wrong side?" He walks away.

"You gotta watch your back with this guy." A bang echoes through the cell. "There's a chance he's gonna break it."

"Hank Pym always said, you never can trust a Stark." Scott said. It was the truth.

"Who are you?"

"Come on, man."

Tony then had a long conversation with Sam before he went to Skylar's cell. "Skylar, I can—" Skylar cut him off. "Save it." She said, her voice almost strained and weak as though she was avoiding the shocks. "Don't say that I can start over, have a normal life." Her voice cracked. "It will never be normal, I can't just act like I was an murder once." Tony looked like he was about to cry. "And you're also not sorry."

Tony wiped his tears and left. He wasn't upset that she was there. He hated when Skylar was sad, there was no jokes, man, he loved her jokes. He was upset because what she said was true.

Had it been days, weeks, months? Skylar didn't even know anymore. She had been in here for longer than a long time. She then saw a shadow that appeared to be Steve. He opened her cell door and got her out.

She hugged him. "You came back." She said. "Of course I did." He said. Steve started to free everyone else. They went to leave but Skylar wasn't moving.

"Sky, come on." Sam urged waiting for the girl. Skylar fiddled with the sleeves of her shirt. "I'm not coming." She said.

"What?" Steve asked. "I have to find out where I come from...and who knows? I might have a big sister or something." Skylar said trying to hold back her tears.

"What if the government finds you?" Steve questioned. "I'll be fine." She hugged him.

She walked to Sam. "Watch your six." He said sternly. "I will." She said, she hugged him. She got to Scott. "I didn't know you for very long but your already apart of my family." Scott chuckled and hugged her.

She got to Clint. "If I hear that you die, I will track you down, find a way to bring you back to life and take your phone away." They both chuckled. Their hug lasted a little longer and Skylar even let few tears come down. This was the last time she would see her father figure.

She looked back at Wanda who just glared at her. "Any words of wisdom from you?" Skylar asked. Wanda was taken back and said nothing. "Guess not."

She walked to the place where they kept her suit and chakram. "Hey," a guard said. "You're not supposed to—" Sky threw her chakram at his chest and brought it back with her powers. She smirked at herself.

Skylar wasn't finished. She still had one more goodbye.

Skylar got to the train stop Natasha was going on back to Russia. She was constantly looking around. She then saw the redhead with a braid in her hair and a black jacket.

Once she saw Skylar she instantly went to her. "What are you doing here?" Natasha asked frantically. "I came to say goodbye." Skylar said. "What?" Natasha asked. "I'm looking for information on where I came from." Natasha sighed. "Look what I said—" Skylar started but was cut off by Natasha hugging her. "You will always be my sister—my daughter." Natasha said.

The train horn blowed. "That's me." Natasha said and got on the train. She looked out the window and waved. Skylar, teary eyed, waved back. Now what's left. Project family.

That's it for act two y'all!
