I had a very... lets say uneventful time in this cage. I watched in silence as the Avengers opened the cage door, a few of them stepping in before Pebble burst ahead, slipping away from the grip of a few of the Avengers. She jumped into me, wrapping her arms around me before I engulfed her in a hug.

'How I missed you Pebble!' 

I gripped her tightly as the others walked in.

"We've decided that we should... you know. Let you in on your past," Tony murmured softly, grabbing something from my pocket.

He turned it on.

The girl ran downstairs, her eyes widening as she watched the men hold her mother down. Words were expressed before she was grabbed. Flames engulfed the girl before I realized...

It was me.

I felt my heart tear as images flashed before my eyes.

Holding my mother.

Burning the damned mans tongue.

My mother being pulled from me.

Being held.

Seeing my mothers face.

The nightmare.

The creature holding me up, choking me.

Being dropped.

White.

White.

White.

White.

White.

White.

Death.

Death.

Death.

Death.

Death.

Death.

Her face.

Everything we did together.

Him.

My father.

Damned bastard.

Left us.

Pain gripped me as my breathing became erratic.

I closed my eyes, everything stopping. I held my sister close before letting her go.

I ran my fingers through my hair, taking deep shaky breaths.

"Are you alright?" I heard the question.

Did I?

Why is everything blurry?

I hear someone.

What?

I try to speak.

I see darkness engulf my eyes.

I try.

I tried so hard.

I fought.

But... nothing worked. I felt myself collapse.

"Allyson..."

I'm listening.

"Do not blame anyone,"

Why?

"It wasn't anyone's fault but mine,"

For?

"Keeping you!" It was a deep voice, I remember this.

"Why did I ever marry you?" A man shouted.
