When you land on the floor you notice it is slightly wet, the old green paint along the walls flaking off and graffiti dotting the long hallways. You call out to see if anyone responds but no one does, you explore further into the old factory, still no one replying as you call back. You remember your thermal vision, quickly switching to that to see if you can see anyone, as you look up you see a single person horizontal, thinking it was Nat you rushed towards the stairs.

The stairs also flaking off their paint and covered in dust, as you stepped onto them, they creaked, not feeling fully secure, you held onto the rusted railing as you ran up them. You went to the room where you assumed you saw the body in, it was a big room, with pillars at either side of it, you wondered further down the room not being able to see too much in front of you due to the darkness that filled the warehouse, you called out again, and again there was complete silence. Switching back to your thermal vision you see the body at the end of the room, you quickly make your way over, and when you switch back to your normal vision, you see her, lying there, unconscious.

Quickly you try and wake her up, tapping her on the face and shaking her, you check her pulse and feel her breathe against your hand, but she was not waking up; how did this happen to her? You pick her up from the cold wet floor, as she lay limp in your arms, you went to make your way outside. Until, you heard a phone ring, it sounded like it was coming from Nat. You apologised as you had to set her back down to look for the phone, they were withholding their caller ID, you reluctantly answer,

"hello?"

"Y/n, nice to finally talk" the voice belonged to a man, it was deep, almost robotic,

"What do you want" you asked,

"I want you Miss y/l/n"

You quickly hang up the phone throwing it down, picking Nat up and head for the door, what a fucking creep you thought, and then she starts to violently shake in your arms, the phone ringing from the other end of the room. Realising the two situations were definitely related, you gently set her down, heading back to the phone, you watch it ring, hesitating before finally picking it up,

"If you want her to live, you need to do what I say"

"FINE, just please make her stop" less than a second later Natasha stopped convulsing, allowing you to finally breathe,

"If you turn to the left you will see a desk" the voice from the phone says, you turn and see the old brown desk right where they said it would be, you made your way over, placing your backpack on it,

"Open the top left drawer, and put them on" you try to look around to find the camera he is clearly using to watch you, you open the drawer, looking down and see handcuffs, handcuffs that looked similar to the ones Nick had used on you first were taken to the Avengers, you rolled your eyes, shaking your head as Natasha's words echoed through your head "What are you going to do if you have no powers", and now here you are trying to save her and about to be stripped of your powers,

"You can still choose, your life or hers"

"Fuck" you said taking the handcuffs, not needing much time to figure out who to save, wrapping them around your wrists, before clicking them in place,

"You should also see some pills in the drawer... take them"

"What are they?" you question,

"They will knock you out, can't let you see where you are going" he said,

"How do I know they won't kill me?"

"If we wanted you dead, we would already have killed you" you nodded your head, agreeing that it was a reasonable answer,
