"Spider, pay attention!" Nebula yelled at me. I immediately sat straight up and looked around. Everyone seemed to be watching me so looked straight forward.
"Back to what I was saying about 'spider' there. He fought along side with Thanos and tried to kill a lot of us," the red metal man said.
"He also seems to have killed many, my brother included," Thor said.
"But He also said that he was just doing what Thanos said and he didn't want to do it," a blonde haired woman said defending me.
"He could have rebelled if he really wanted to. His sisters did," leader man from nowhere said. "Nebula even said that."
"I know what I said and I was angry but he has a point about his programming. He was taken from his home at a younger age than me and Gamora. He also lost more than both of us," Nebula said defending me. I really didn't want to hear them argue about me but I could not leave. No one had told me to do anything but sit here and listen.
"What do you mean by programming?" The girl that met us inside asked.
"Why doesn't he answer that. Spider, what happened when you didn't do what Thanos said?" I looked up and they could read the terror that came across my face.
"I I would b be punished," I answered quietly not meeting anyone's eyes.
"What would happen if you didn't please Thanos?"
"I would get more punishments."
"See He didn't have a choice in the matter," Nebula said angrily.
"What were the punishments exactly? 'Cause for all we know he just got a timeout," red metal man spoke up again. Nebula looked at me and nodded her head. I hit the button on my chest and my armor folded into a small box. I was now in my stretchy black suit. I then stood up and turned around unzipping the suit halfway down my back. Everyone could now see the four limbs protruding from my back and my skinny body from starvation.
I heard quite a few gasps come from the seats. I then turned back around the looks of sympathy I knew were going to be there. I sat back down and looked down at my hands.
"Spider, when did you first start getting punishments?" Nebula asked me and I swallowed hard.
"When I was six I didn't get up to his standards so he had a surgeon add my metal limbs. Issues happened with that and he never added anything else. But he does enhance my senses as a punishment and take away food rights," I said quietly not looking from my hands.
"There you have it his punishments weren't easy."
"He is But only a child. He should not have to go through this," Thor said angrily.
"How old even is the kid?" The wingsuit man asked. All eyes then turned to me and I had to think about it.
"I think I'm sixteen?" I asked more then said. Everyone either had angry look or and sympathetic one. I could not look these people in the eyes so they stayed trained on my hands.
"I don't think we should turn him into shield," The red headed witch said and most people agreed. I sat completely still as they talked about where I would be staying. They then started talking about other things and I stopped listening. After what felt like forever the others started getting up and heading out of the room. I stayed in the seat waiting for someone to tell me what to do but no one did. Almost everyone was out of the room until someone realized I was still in my seat.
"I know what it feels like to be used as a weapon," The man with long dark hair said walking to my seat. I said nothing and the man just sighed at me. "It's alright to be scared and sad. You are allowed to feel emotions."
I looked up at him and he seemed to be serious. "I've never been allowed to show emotions without getting in trouble," I said honestly.
"Come with me and I'll show you to your room." I got up and we started walking down the halls. Soon enough we got to one of what looked like many bedrooms. We went inside and the room was huge it had a ginormous bed in the center and wardrobes on the walls. "I'm in the room right next door if you need anything."
"Thank you, sir," I said as he was about to exit the room. He then stopped and turned to me.
"Call me Bucky. Sir makes me feel old." He then left the room and I went to the bed. I just lost the only man I ever knew as my family for over a century. I do hope that I can find another one and I hope it includes Bucky. With that final thought I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
