Natasha and Clint held Anna in a cell at the base of the Avengers.
C: Do you think this will hold her? She can climb walls.
N: Yeah, but I think she can't cross them.
Natasha headed to her room. Natasha took a shower, cleaned her wounds and went to sleep. She woke up early in the morning with the insistent knocking at the door. It seemed like the door would fall.
Natasha opened the door and faced an exalted Carol Danvers.
N: Carol?
C: What my friend is doing here? Stuck in a cell like a criminal? Who gave you the right?
Natasha just looked at Carol who was enraged.
N: Your friend? That woman is your friend?
C: Yes! My friend and Sam's!
N: Sam?
C: Yes, she helped me that day at the bar.
N: Oh. She is the one.
C: Oh? Release her now.
Natasha was thinking about the time she would have saved if she had followed her first instinct that Carol knew the woman.
Carol was raging and she ended up waking Steve and Bruce, who came to see what was going on.
S: Carol? Natasha? What is happening?
C: Your partner here caught my best friend.
N: Best friend? You met her yesterday practically.
C: So what? Why you held her?
B: Held who? Where?
C: Here at the base!
S: No one was arrested at the base, Carol, you might be confusing things.
Steve said it, but he looked at Natasha expecting her to confirm, but she said nothing.
S: Do you arrested someone here and didn't say anything?
N: I was going to communicate this morning, but this hysterical came here to give scandal.
C: I'll show you the hysterical.
Bruce grabbed Carol's hand, it was already a bright light around it, ready to shoot Natasha.
B: Calm, Carol. It must have been a mistaken.
N: No mistake, she is a fugitive.
S: Fugitive from whom?
N: FBI and SHIELD.
S: SHIELD?
Natasha looked away from Steve.
S: What charges SHIELD have against her?
N: She murdered a 17 year old guy, and ran away. They never found her.
S: What evidence SHIELD have? That's not our business, not even a SHIELD's business.
N: She has powers.
B: What kind of power?
N: I'm not sure, she is very strong and can climb walls. She has a lawyer and Clint insisted for her to be judged here before delivered to Fury.
S: We are not judges, Natasha. I'll talk to her.
C: Steve you will let her go, right?
S: Carol and if she is guilty?
C: I trust her. Please.
S: Carol promise I'll listen to her and make sure no one hurt her, ok?
Carol was sensitive. Steve looked at her with love and asked her to go along with him so the women would trust him to talk.
Bruce returned to his room, but Natasha decided to go along with Steve and Carol, as the prisoner was hers.
Steve arrived at the cell and saw the woman sleeping deeply.
S: Is she okay?
N: Yes, it was suppose her to be dead, but she survived to my shock.
Carol was indignant.
N: She would have killed me and Clint, we had no choice.
Carol looked at her friend and she was sad.
C: I can't imagine her hurting anyone, she is just so cool.
N: Those are the worst.
The woman ended up waking up with them talking, she looked scared and lost. The woman calmed down when she saw Carol.
Anna: Carol... What is going on?
C: You were arrested last night. Is it true what they're saying about you being a killer?
The woman was shocked by the question, she was walking back and forth in the cell. She sat down and put her hands on her face and began to cry.
Natasha didn't believe in her tears. Steve pressed a button and the cell opened. Natasha protested that it was dangerous.
Steve ignored her and sat down beside the woman.
S: Are you okay?
A: I'm tired.
S: Of run?
A: Of run, lying, hiding... Everything.
S: Are you guilty?
A: Yes.
The woman cried even more and looked at Carol.
A: I'm sorry.
S: You don't seem to be a bad person. Tell what happened on the day you killed the boy.
A: He was my boyfriend.
S: Boyfriend?
Anna confirmed, while trying to stop crying.
She said that since childhood, she was very ill and when she turned 15 she got incredible strong, though doctors have said that she wouldn't survive. She gained an unusual force and hid it from everyone and at 16yo she started dating this guy and it was the first time she noticed her powers.
First the boy was too stunned and seemed to have panicked, she tried to calm him and he became more desperate. By the time she was trying to prevent him from running, she ended up electrocuting him and she didn't understand what was happening. When a man approached them, he accused her to be a killer and since then she lives running away, because she thought no one would believe her.
S: I do.
Natasha rolled her eyes impatiently.
N: She's probably lying.
S: Natasha!
N: What?
S: I believe in her, you said you saw her climbing the wall. She didn't know how to use her powers.
N: True or not, if she can't control herself, she can't be free.
S: No.
Steve looked at the women.
S: Anna... I'm sorry for what happened to you. If you want you can stay here with us and we will find a way to teach you how to control your powers.
A: You can teach me that?
S: We will do our best for it.
The woman looked Steve. She was more calm now.
A: Jessica.
S: What?
A: My real name is Jessica. Jessica Drew.
Carol was upset by the lies that the woman told her and she left the cell. Jessica wanted to follow her and explain everything, but it wasn't the time.
S: Jessica, nice to meet you. I am Steve Rogers. We will help you, we have good doctors and scientists who will examine you. No one will hurt you, I promise. I just need you to stay here in the cell, until we figure out a way for you not to hurt anyone. Is it all right?
J: Yes. Thank you.
Steve got up and left the cell. Natasha entered a code to seal the cell again. Natasha and Steve came back to Natasha's hall and they were still arguing about Natasha's secret mission for SHIELD.
S: What the hell were you thinking?
N: Stop acting like my boss. I thought I was your co-leader.
S: You are.
N: But you don't treat me as such.
S: What are you talking about? You're the one with two jobs.
N: What is the matter with that?
S: Your loyalty is which side? Every time I trust you, you end up...
Steve didn't finish the sentence, because even if he did that, he would be lying. He never regret of trust her.
Natasha frowned and was a little hurt by what he hinted to say although she didn't have an answer to give. Avengers, SHIELD... Whatever. The real issue was her loyalty is with Steve Rogers, not with the Avengers and not with SHIELD. He is a jerk if he thinks otherwise.
N: I got a workd to do, so if you don't mind... Boss.
Steve shook his head as he watched Natasha leave the hall.
Steve put his uniform and went to the training center. Natasha was already there, grappling with Sam who was getting beat up ugly, especially because Natasha was angry.
Steve did his best to keep Danvers busy. He didn't want to see her sad.
When he finished the training of New Avengers, Natasha still had the adrenaline running in her veins, she went to the fight center.
This center wasn't made of glass. There the old Avengers would have more privacy to practice. They could release their anger on the punching bag.
Natasha wanted to put a picture of Rogers in the boxing bag to punch, but she only imagined that the bag was him and gave several blows in the bag.
Steve arrived half an hour later and just watched all her aggression, he acted like a jerk and wanted to redeem himself. With Natasha things are not that simple, it wasn't enough just admit he was wrong.
He took two pairs of Boxing gloves. Natasha watched Steve coming in.
Steve threw 1 pair for her.
S: You're angry.
Natasha didn't answer.
S: My favorite place to unload anger is here. In that ring to be specific.
Steve came into the ring and looked at Natasha, waiting for her to accept his invitation.
Natasha stopped punching the bag and took the pair of gloves that Steve gave for her. She took the bottle of water and took a long drink, without looking away from Steve.
She put her gloves on and went to the ring. Steve lifted the ropes for her, but Natasha ignored him and she got in the ring by herself, still without taking her eyes of him.
So you want to fight? I will hurt you for real. You'll regret this invitation, Rogers. Natasha thought as she smirked.
