Freya's room was just a bed with a nightstand, and a simple desk, and was about ten square meters big.

The moment she entered she had already analysed possible escape routes, but the only entrance was the door, as they were no windows in the room. The door was a massive metal door that you can only lock and unlock from the outside, so there was no way to escape from her room. She was in a cage.

There was also a door leading to a small bathroom with a toilet and a sink, but it also didn't have any windows.

Right after Freya went into the room, Strucker closed the door behind her, but she didn't even try to open it again. She was pretty sure that Strucker was still watching her somehow, through hidden cameras or something.
She sighed and fell on her bed.

On the way to her room, Strucker told her that every day at eight o'clock someone will pick her  up and bring her to a room where she could train to control and use her powers. He said, it probably won't be him, as he would be busy finding volunteers for the experiment, now that it had been successful.

That thought cheered Freya up a bit. Someone to talk with would probably be great.

Without even changing she crawled under the light blanket and slept immediately.

In her dream, Freya was in Strucker's warehouse, in the underground parking lot where she arrived.

She looked around, confused, when she heard the voice of a little girl, echoing through the building. At first, Freya couldn't understand what the girl was saying, but as she followed the voice it became clearer.

The girl was singing.

She was singing the same song Freya's mother used to sing when she went to bed. It was a Russian song, but Sokovia's language was very similar and many Russian songs were sung there. This one was called 'Tili Tili Bom'.

Freya never thought much of it and just listened to her mother until she fell asleep. But hearing this voice of the little girl, echoing through the building, the words creeped Freya and she shivered.

She followed the voice, running, looking into rooms and hallways.

In one room Freya stopped. A little girl, not older than two, stood there, her back towards Freya. Nothing of her body moved, but the singing definitely came from her.

Freya slowly approached her and suddenly realized that she was in the room where the experiment took place.

The girl was standing right in front of the chair where Freya sat when it happened.
When she was only one meter away from the girl, she turned around and Freya gasped.
It was Wanda.

She looked exactly like the day Freya saw her for the last time in Sokovia, with her cute red dress and her beautiful green eyes full of tears.

Freya sank down to her knees and whispered: "Wanda... my little monster..."

But Wanda didn't look like she heard her. She looked at Freya like a mother about to tell of her naughty child. "You left us", she said in her cute two-year-old voice.

Freya didn't remember her speaking English that good when she left, but she didn't care about that now. Freya started tearing up. 
"I am sorry, Wanda, I am so sorry, I didn't want to leave you."

"But you did." Her high voice echoed through the room.

"I know, and now I know that it was wrong. I know I should have stayed,  I left you alone, and I am sorry."

By now, tears streamed down Freya's face. The floor was rumbling and cracks appeared on the walls.

The small Wanda looked around. "You see what you can do? You are a monster. You will kill them all."

"No. No! Wanda, no, I am sorry!", Freya screamed as the walls started falling and burying the small Wanda underneath them.

At 6:30 in the morning, Freya's alarm clock went off.
With a loud sigh, she turned it off and stood up. She took herself some clothes Strucker gave her yesterday and put them on.

After only half an hour Freya was finished and walked around in her room. 

While walking around, she made her wings appear and disappear, thinking about what the small Wanda said.

Freya was a monster, she had told herself that a hundred times before she went to bed yesterday. But hearing it out of the mouth of her sister really hit her. And then that "you will kill them all." Who are "them"? Everyone? Or her family?

Exactly at eight o'clock, a man opened the door of Freya's room and told her to follow him. She was just about to do so, when she remembered something.

She rushed to her nightstand and took her two swords out of it. She didn't know if this was allowed, but the man didn't say anything, and yesterday no one took them away, so Freya thought it was all right.

When she came past the room where the experiment took place, where she met Wanda, she  looked in it, but it was empty, like in her dream. No doctors were there.

Freya kept following the man to a huge room which looked a bit like the training room in the Red Room. There was one wall full of weapons of all kinds, guns, swords, axes, daggers, bow and arrow, and many more. A few people were standing around there, either ignoring or just not noticing Freya. In the middle of the room were about a dozen dummies, standing next to each other.

She looked around, waiting for someone to tell her, what she had to do when one of the men said: "You can train your powers here. You can take weapons if you want to, but Strucker said, you should first train with your powers."

Freya nodded to show him that she understood and put her swords on the ground. She walked towards the dummies, looked at them carefully, and started training.

if you want to creep yourself, google the translation of the song 'Tili Tili Bom'. It's scary as hell and I still don't believe it's a children song
