Clapping filled the room from Clint's cell. "The futurist, gentlemen! The futurist is here! He sees all! He knows what's best for you, whether you like it or not." Tony sighed, approaching Clint's cell. "Give me a break, Barton. I have no idea they'll put you in here, come on."
"Yeah, well, you knew they'll put us somewhere, Tony." Clint snapped back. "Yeah. But, not some supermax floating ocean pokey. You know, this place is for maniacs. This is a place for..."
"Criminals? Criminals, Tony." Clint got up from his bed. "I think that's the word you're looking for. Right? It ain't used to mean me, or Sam, or Wanda, or Nadia. But, here we are."
"Cause you broke the law," Stark replied. Nadia rolled her eyes, watching the camera above her. "Yeah." Clint shaking his eyes, shaking his head.
"I didn't make you."
"The law. The law." Clint repeated mockingly. "You read it, you broke it," Stark told him. "The law. The law. The law."
"Alright, you're all grown-ups. You got a wife and kids. I don't understand. Why didn't you think about them before you choose the wrong side?" Clint got up and pounded his hands on the glass. "You better watch your back on this guy. Chances are he's going to break it."
Scott leaned against his window, shaking his head. "Hank Pym always said, you never can trust a Stark."
Stark looked at him in fake confusion. "Who are you?" Scott frowned. "Come on, man."
"How are you, kid?" Tony stopped in front of Nadia's cell, where she was sitting on the ground. She looked up at him, extending her arms out to show off her bracelets.
"As well as I can be." She muttered, putting her hands back down. "The only reason they put those on is so you wouldn't escape," Tony told her. Nadia shook her head.
"You don't get it. Maybe an hour before you came, they dragged me out of my cell to put more of these on. Then sent a shock wave through me. They're afraid of me."
Tony didn't reply. He paused, a sigh escaping his lips. "Have they fed you yet?" Nadia glanced up at him. "What, So you're the good guy now? Screw you, Tony. I'm supposed to be going to school. Not trapped here like an animal."
Tony sighed, "I'm sorry." He proceeded to walk over to Sam's cell. "How's Rhodes?" He asked, his back turned.
"We're flying him to Columbia Medical tomorrow. So... Fingers cross. What do you need? You okay?"
Sam turned. "You really trying to be a good cop?" Tony shook his head. "I'm just a guy who needs to know where Steve went."
"Well, you better go get a bad cop, because you would have to go Mark 'Terminal' on me to get information out of me." Nadia watched as Tony began to click something on his watch.
"Oh, I just knocked the 'A' out of their 'AV'. We got about 30 seconds before they realized it's not their equipment."
"Just look. Because that is the fellow who is suppose to interrogate Barnes." Tony showed a picture of a dead man, Nadia had to squint to see. "Clearly, I made a mistake. Sam, I was wrong."
"That's a first," Sam replied sarcastically. Nadia glanced over at Wanda, who had her eyes shut tightly.
"Cap is definitely off the reservation and he's about to need all the help he can get. We don't know each other very well. You don't have to..." Sam shook his head, cutting if Tony.
"Hey. It's alright. Look, I will tell you. But you have to go alone and as a friend." Sam looked him in the eye.
"Easy," Tony promised.

The rest of the day was dull. The guards would come in, give them food, then leave. Nadia thought she was going to go insane. Two more days passed, leaving the group tired.
Nadia had gotten to sleep a bit, but every time she woke up with nightmares about Hydra and having to watch her brother die. She woke up screaming each time, and the others had to calm her down from their cells.
By the third day, Nadia decided sleep was overrated. She keeps her eyes alert for something that wasn't going to happen. Small talk was common upon the group, but no one dared talk about Steve or Bucky. Or the fact that they could be captured and on their way there at any moment.
There were yells and gunshots later that third day. The room went dark, causing Nadia to stand up. A figure comes towards her cell, making her smile. "Steve. Took you long enough."
Steve grinned, tapping the keypad on her door. Nadia launched herself towards him, tackling him in a hug. He hugged her back tightly, laughing a bit.
She peered over his shoulder, seeing her sister standing there, and out of her strip jacket. Once Steve let her go she rushed towards Wanda. "Are you okay?" Wanda asked her, glancing down at the bracelets. Wanda frowned and quickly broke them off of her wrist.
Nadia smiled towards her sister and wrapped her into a hug. "Come on, Nat's in the quinjet. We need to get going." Steve told them once everyone else was freed.
Nadia grabbed Wanda's hand as the group ran out. They headed towards the quinjet before Scott stopped, he looked at them nervously. "Scott? Come on." Steve asked him, confused.
"I, can't go with you guys. I have a daughter, and I can't be on the run. Not again." Nadia frowned, but when she saw Clint wall over, she knew it was for the best. Both of them had families and people they needed to be with.
"I guess that means I go with him, someone's got to get him out of here." He turned towards the group. "Don't get into too much trouble." He joked, he was cut off by Nadia hugging him. "You're one to talk." Clint chuckled, hugging her back.
She took a step back and smiled. "I guess the days full of hugs." Scott chuckled. "It's better than being locked up."
Nadia smiled at Scott. "Say hello to Cassie for me." Scot grinned and ran off with Clint. "Alright, come on everyone." The group approached the quinjet when they heard a sudden noise.
Stark's suit landed behind them, he opened his helmet to look at every one. "Wait a minute Cap." He told Steve, stopping the group.
"Please. Tony, don't try to stop us." Steve pleaded. "I'm not here too, Steve. I have an offer, for Nadia."
Wanda looked towards her sister confused, but Nadia kept listening. She looked towards Tony. "You still want to go to high school?" He waited for her to nod. "I have some friends who owe me a favor. I know it's last minute, but they'll take care of you."
Nadia shook her head, "I don't know..." Wanda placed her hand on her sister's shoulder. "This is what you wanted." She whispered, "But, what about you?" Nadia turned to her.
Wanda smiled. "I'll be okay. But you can't give this opportunity up, despite everything, we'll always be sisters." Nadia smiled and hugged her sister as tight as she could. "I love you," Nadia whispered. "I love you too," Wanda told her.
"Stay safe," Wanda told her before they broke apart. Nadia glanced at Steve. "Don't beat up the first person you see." He chuckled, a small smile appearing on his face.
Nadia grinned. "I won't." She glanced at her sister one more time. "I'll be in touch," Wanda promised. The sister's smiled at each other one last time before Wanda followed the rest of the group to the quinjet.
Nadia watched as the quinjet was put into flight mode and began to fly off into the sky. "Come on, kid. We need to get going."
Tony.
that's all i got to say.
