ACT TWO  ━━━  CHAPTER EIGHT,
❝ what do you want from me? where am i? ❞

𝓚aileena Stark always wished to never go through the same traumatic experience that she had to endure for three long years. She would have nightmares and flashbacks of her time in HYDRA every single day for the past 20 plus years. She hated it.

She hated how she was so easily manipulated into being kidnapped and turned into a test subject, only to end up as a freak.

She remembers every single moment when she was helplessly strapped to a chair as doctors injected an unknown serum into her body. She remembers when they would force her to use the different powers that she was given as they watched her completely go crazy while they did nothing but write down their observations.

She was a dog that got choked whenever she wanted to be free from her leash.

Escaping the terrorizing place was one of the best things she did in her life. But just because she left didn't mean she was free, she would never be free again.

HYDRA ruined her and she would do anything not to go back.

So when she woke up in an all too familiar position, she snapped.

Kaileena shot up from the seat with her eyes wide and ready to fight. There were several doctors and men around her, she already knew what was happening. She snarled at all of them before trying to stand up; keyword: tried.

She was stopped by straps on her whole lower portion and around her arms and legs. She pulled on her arms but it didn't budge which made her stressed.

"Miss Stark."

Her head snapped up to the person who called her name. He stood closer to her than the other men, he had no hair and blue eyes. Kaileena narrowed her eyes at him, her eyes glowing orange.

He raised his hand up in defense but kept walking closer to her. "Don't fret, Miss Stark. I-"

"What do you want from me? Where am I?"

He held his pointer finger up and tsked, "Too many questions. Work now, questions later."

Kaileena scowled, "Work? What work?"

The man didn't answer, instead, he beckoned for two scientists to come closer to her. Kaileena saw how one of them was holding a syringe which made her tense.

Kaileena watched as the two of them were prepping for whatever they were doing on the small tray beside the chair she was sitting on. She only started to scream and thrash around when one of the scientists faced her with the syringe being pointed at her.

Two more men ran to her and held her shoulders, trying to keep her still.

Kaileena looked at the scientist, "Please don't." She whispered to him but he ignored her and injected the syringe on her neck.

The moment the continents inside the syringe went inside her body, she started screaming loudly. It was like her whole body was burning, her scream was echoing through the whole building.

She was getting mild deja vu.

Orange lines showed on her body, from her feet to her head. The whole time she was screaming and yelling, her eyes were glowing orange and her claws were out. Everyone in the room was watching her with amazement, impressed by the fact that their serum actually worked.

The screaming and the pain lasted for about half an hour before Kaileena finally passed out.

The only thought she had before she passed out was "What powers am I going to have now?"

𝓚aileena woke up in a cell that was facing two connected ones. There were two people in each one, the two of them seemed to be more interested in their own powers than the brunette that had just woken up.

Kaileena grunted as she stood up and looked around the room, all it had was a small bed and a chair. Both looked very uncomfortable to sit or sleep on.

She turned to one of the cells across from hers when the sound of the bed squeaking from someone sitting on it. It was the person on her left, it was a boy. Probably either sixteen or seventeen, he had silver tips on his short hair and he was extremely jacked.

The guy tilted his head at her, he seemed to be studying her. Kaileena raised an eyebrow at him, she couldn't deny that he was attractive but he was a kid and she was 45.

The unknown guy decided to speak first, "Hello. Who are you?"

Kaileena noticed his accent, it was Sokovian from what she remembers. "I should be asking you that."

The guy squinted his eyes at her, he recognized the Stark but he couldn't place his finger on it. His lips formed a small smile, "My name is Pietro. This is my sister-" he introduced himself before gesturing to the person in the cell beside him.

"Wanda Maximoff," a soft voice could be heard from the young girl in the other cell. Kaileena turned her attention to her, the girl was lifting wooden boxes in the air with her powers, she was concentrating pretty hard.

She had long wavy brown hair, her figure was petite but it was fit, her hands were forming red mists as the boxed she was lifted was surrounded with the same red mist.

Kaileena nodded and sat down on the ground in a criss-cross position, "I'm . . . Elena."

The way she introduced herself gave her another deja vu wave. Just then, she remembers what happened before she passed out and ended up in a cell.

James.

He appeared in her house and asked for help, she agreed to help him but someone blew up her house and took her.

Took me where? She asked herself in her head, frowning deeply as she tried to recall who would do such a thing to her.

HYDRA.

Kaileena's eyes widened and she looked at the two siblings, "Uh, Where are we?"

"Sokovia," Wanda answered, still focusing on her boxes. Kaileena nodded slowly, she's never been to Sokovia before, and what a better way to experience what it has to offer for the first time than to be trapped in a cell.

"This . . . are we in HYDRA?" At the mention of HYDRA, the siblings snapped their heads to look at her. Pietro nodded which made Kaileena sigh deeply and groan in annoyance.

"Not again," She muttered under her breath which received a confused look from the siblings.

Wanda tilted her head at the Stark, "Have you been through this before?"

"Yeah. About twenty years ago."

Pietro furrowed his eyebrows, "Twenty years ago? You look like you're 25."

Kaileena chuckled, "Well, I'm not 25. I wish I was." She sighed, looking away from the siblings and to the ground. "I was in HYDRA for three years before I escaped, then I was kidnapped once again."

Wanda felt bad for the woman, she and her brother volunteered but she never wanted to be like what she is. People would call her a freak, and she hated that word.

Wanda only agreed to become an enhanced so that she could get revenge on Stark.

Tony Stark.

The man who murdered her parents and made her and her brother orphans.

If only Wanda knew what Elena's last name was.

𝓣ony Stark arrived in New Jersey after his sister not calling or texting him for a week, he felt like something was wrong with her so he tracked her phone and headed to where it was tracked, New Jersey.

He parked his car infront of her mansion and looked at the building. No lights were on and it seemed like nobody was home. He got out of his car and walked to the front door.

Tony knocked, "Elena? Are you home? It's Tony, open the door!"

No answer.

He knocked again, this time harder. "Elena! Open the door, it's your brother!"

Still no answer.

He got tired of knocking so he kicked the door down, classic Tony. The male Stark stepped inside the house, everything was in place, nothing was touched or damaged.

He traveled past the foyer and to the kitchen, halting in his steps at the sight of the kitchen. The wall was blown up and there were pieces of rock everywhere on the ground, the dining table was broken and so was the kitchen.

Tony carefully walked closer to the scene, "JARVIS, what happened here?" He asked his AI.

"I believe that someone had blown up the wall and broke into the house," JARVIS replied.

Tony shook his head, "If they did then why are all the furniture in the rest of the house untouched?"

"I do not have an answer for that, Sir."

Tony sighed and ran upstairs and to Kaileena's bedroom, no one was there. He stepped out of the room as his Iron Man suit started to attach to his body, "Give me a full scan on the house."

A scan went through the whole mansion, checking to see if there was anyone in the house. There was no one in the house except for Tony himself.

Tony started to panic, his sister might've gotten kidnapped or she was killed, both assumptions are bad.

Tony ran around the house to double-check, the scanner might've been wrong and there was actually someone in the house. After running around the house several times, Tony ended up back in the foyer as he panted.

"JARVIS," Tony called for the AI as he started to step out of the house and to his car.

"Yes, sir?"

"Call a meeting for the Avengers, it's important."

"Right away, sir."

𝓣he Avengers were seated around a circular table in a meeting room in Stark tower, watching as Tony Stark paced infront of them nervously.

Steve was the first one to speak, "What's this emergency meeting for, Tony?"

Tony finally stopped pacing and looked at the team with an uneasy face, the billionaire sighed. "It's Elena."

At the mention of the female Stark, Steve sat up straight in his seat as did everyone else.

"What's wrong with Elena?" Nat asked.

Tony placed his hand on his forehead and rubbed his temples, the team noticed how stress he was, and Tony Stark was barely stressed- not like this. "She, uh- She's gone."

Bruce frowned, "What do you mean "she's gone"?"

"What I mean is, Elena is MIA. Her house in New Jersey was blown up and I think that someone kidnapped her." Tony told the team.

Clint furrowed his eyebrows, "Who would kidnap her? And why?"

"I don't know, Barton. That's why I scheduled this meeting." Tony snapped, annoyed that he couldn't protect his sister. It was his job as her older brother, well . . . older twin.

"Okay. Tony, it'll be fine, we'll find her." Steve reassured him. The team loved Kaileena, she always brought smiles to their faces even in their worst times.

Tony sighed heavily and sat down beside Steve, placing his head in his hands.

"Who do you think would want to take her?" Nat asked Tony who lifted his head up to look at her.

"I have no idea." He didn't know who but he had a good guess on who kidnapped her and why they took her.

Steve sighed, "Come on, Tony. We need answers so that we can find her."

"What do you think I'm trying to do here, Rogers?" Tony snapped angrily at Steve. Tony sighed and looked down, "Sorry- I'm sorry. I just . . . I can't lose her again. She's all I have."

Clint looked at Tony with a solemn look, if he lost his wife or his kids then he would be nothing.

"Tony," Nat called out to him softly. "We know how much you care for your sister but without answers, she might never come back."

Tony stayed silent for a moment, thinking and taking in the redhead's words.

He lifted his head up and glanced at everyone at the table, "I think I know who took her." Tony announced.

Rhodey crossed his arms, "Don't keep us waiting, say it."

Tony glared at Rhodey before looking back at the Avengers, he took a deep breath.

"HYDRA."
