8 - The Raft

It wasn't too long until the jet reached the landing bay for The Raft. Cassie had to admit. it looked a lot cooler in real life than in Civil War. The water was rocky, splashing up the sides of the walls, the lights inside never flickering for a moment. The rain poured down hard and she could see Tony's helicopter down a bit on the landing bay. She stepped outside into the rainy weather, a raincoat Happy had given her covering herself and her bag.

    "I'll see you back at the compound!" Happy yelled over the storm. Cassie waved back at him as the door shut. She could see Peter in the window of the jet. He gave a weak smile as the jet took off again, flying back through the storm. God, I wish I had given him my number. She thought to herself as the jet flew out of sight.

    When she turned back, a guard was waiting for her on the landing bay. He held off his arm, motioning for her to follow which she obey. They walked silently through the metal building, the sound of rain echoing through the halls. They passed other guards, all dressed the same, carrying the same type of weapon, an AR-15. Soon they reached the main control room of the Raft. She could see Tony and Secretary Ross standing in the center.

    "... start facial scanning for this, Zemo guy," Tony finished as Cassie caught the end of his sentence.

    "You seriously think I'm going to listen to you after that fiasco in Leipzig?" replied Ross. "You're lucky you're not in one of these cells." He looked over Tony's shoulder and caught the eye of Cassie. "What's with the girl, soldier."

    Tony turned around and made eye contact with her. Before the guard could even get a word out, Tony spoke up. "There you are Cassie, I was beginning to worry." He brought her in for a half-hug in his side. "Happy give you any trouble?"

    "Just his usually grumpy self," she responded earning a chuckle from Tony. "How's Rhodey?"

    "You tell me," He responded, knowing that she knew more than him.

    "He'll be fine," she reassured him.

    "I'm sorry who is this?" Ross asked.

    "My consultant, Cassie Potts, meets Secretary Ross."

    She held out her hand and shook his. "How old are you kid?"

    "Old enough," she responded. "Think of me as the Watson to his Sherlock." She put a smirk, proud of herself at the comeback and reference that none of them would understand.

    Ross turned back to Tony. "Potts?" he questioned.

    "Pepper's niece." He looked over at the monitor of the prisoner being held. His eyes landed on Wanda, crouched on the floor in her cell. Cassie could see a wave of guilt wash over his face before quickly composing himself. "Come on, Smalls," He said, walking over the door that lead to the jail cells.

    She quickly nodded towards Ross and then walked off to join Tony. The door soon opened and in they walked. As they looked around the circular room at all the people locked up, Cassie felt her heart quicken. She was worried, of course, for her favorite characters but also was fangirling a little as the number of celebrities from her world she was standing in front of.

    The sound of clapping boomed through the room, echoing off every wall. Cassie pivoted towards the noise and saw Jeremy Renner, or Clint Barton, in front of her. "The futurist gentleman!" He said sarcastically while continuing to clap. "The futurist is here! He sees all."  Tony started to make his way over to Clint who was on the floor of his cell, leaning against the bed. "He knows what's best for you. Whether you like it or not." Cassie walked over to join Tony.

    Tony spoke to him. "Give me a break Barton. I had no idea they put you here, come on."

    Clint spat at his feet. "Yeah, well you knew they'd put us somewhere, Tony."
