When I wake up, pain pinches all over my body. A distant beeping sound gets my attention, am I in a hospital? I move my head, feeling a massive headache pound against my skull. My eyes flutter open, my arm beginning to me to my head. But my arm never moves. Suddenly, a deep pain spreads throughout my body, making me cry out in pain. I can feel my body healing, but the pain is still present.
"Oh good, you're awake." A familiar voice says.
"Where am I?" Tears fall down my face as the pain becomes unbearable.
"SHIELD, where else?" Fear fills my chest, my memory being jogged.
I completely open my eyes to see I'm in a dark room with a huge light above me. Armed guards surround us. Alexander Pierce stands at a table, he wears bloody gloves. Oh god, what did he do?
"What did you do to me?" I cry.
"We took your eggs out, dear." Alexander says normally, as if it were no big deal. "But fortunately they began to grow back immediately. It's quite extraordinary, if you ask me."
"Where's Blue?" I say hurriedly, concerned.
"Your bratty kid? He's safe." Alexander puts something into a ziplock bag. My eggs. "He's being tested right now, we need to stop his growth before he goes too far along in his growth period."
"Leave my son alone!" I wince from the pain, "He's just a kid! Please don't cut him open!"
"Don't be dramatic, we're not going to cut that snot nosed brat open." Alexander says annoyed, "We're going to test a serum on him."
"A serum?" Bruce once told me that SHIELD has been trying for decades to make another serum like they had given Steve back in the 1940's. "Hasn't that test failed all but once?"
"Yes, well, you can always make another." Alexander says simply.
"When my dad comes back—" I hiss at him.
"Who do you think sent us, huh?" Betrayal hits me hard, hurting me worse than this pain I am feeling right now. "Daddy was very concerned, Pumpkin. He called and told us all about your mutant baby."
"You're lying!" I scream.
"I wish I was, pumpkin. Unfortunately I'm not though." Alexander says, "Anyways, here is what's going to happen in he next few days: we are going to test your eggs with multiple sperm and surrogates. One will be with a normal male specimen, then another will be with an applicant with the same abilities as your fiancé."
"Nobody has the same abilities as Steve!" I shout, "You're lying!"
"Trust me, Pumpkin," Alexander says with a smirk "we found a man just like your Captain Golden Boy."
Could there be another guy like Steve? No! Alexander is just trying to get inside my head. That's all. There is no one like Steve. Not on SHIELD's record—but maybe on HYDRA's. Could Alexander be working with HYDRA? It would make sense, but if he works with SHIELD—
"I want to see Director Fury!" I demand.
"Sweetheart, you're going to have to be a bit nicer if you want something done right." Alexander says with a smirk like smile.
I smirk back at him. "I bet that's how you worked your way into SHIELD, huh? You little HYDRA servant."
Alexander backhands me, hard. Pain spreads through my cheek, making me squeal. I wish Steve was here. He would have kicked Alexander's ass for that. Alexander grabs my face, making me look at him.
"I'd be careful with that mouth, little girl. Daddy's not here to protect you, neither is your fiancé or any of those halloween costume wearing freaks." Alexander spits at me, making me squirm. "Hey—Hey now! Easy. After that, you're going to wish you hadn't."
Alexander turns to the guards.
"Use the serum now, I need answers." Fear fills my chest.
I lean down and bite Alexander's hand savagely, drawing lots of blood. The man draws back slinging the blood on the floor. He snarls at me, grabbing a bag. He walks over and hits me in the ribs, making me cry out in pain. He hits me again in the face, the sound of my nose cracking fills the air. I cry out in pain as blood truckers down my nose.
"Bite on that, you little bitch!" Alexander walks over to the table, "We're going to have to cut her back open. We need more of her eggs."
I scream as a few guards walks over towards me. I need a hero. I need Steve. I need the Avengers.
