Heyo Lovelies! This chapter isn't edited, but I figured you all deserved a new chapter.

  "Welcome back little Queen." A slightly snide voice sounded from her right.

  She walked faster down the hall. "Not now Pietro, I have things to do." She tried to ignore the Slokovian speedster as she made her way to the office of her S.O.

    "Queen reporting in." She called through the door after knocking precisely three times.

  "Come in Queen." A sharp voice answered.

  "Did you destroy the files?" Her S.O. barked from behind her desk.

    "Yes ma'am. The traitor was meeting with an agent from S.H.I.E.L.D-"

   "Wait, S.H.I.E.L.D?!" Her S.O. stood abruptly.

"Yes Ma'am." She replied monotonously. Not at all phased by the woman infront of her.

      "Idiot!" Her S.O. roared before slapping her. "Do you realize what you've done?! We could be put onto their radar!"

   "With all due respect Ma'am, but it would be nearly impossible considering they are dead and their cameras are destroyed." She replied.

       "I don't care! They could have radioed in! You will be punished thoroughly for your insolence!" She presses a button and barks in German. Calling in two large guards. "Make sure she learns her lesson."

Gale POV

    I sat with the others in the main room as we waited for Queen to return from her mission. The door creaked open and two large and burly men dragged Queen inside before throwing her roughly at our feet.

     "Queen!" Wanda shouted. She rushed to where she lay. "Can you hear me?"

  Carefully, three of the girls managed to flip her over onto her back. Her breathing was ragged as she fought for air despite the gashes along her front and back.

     "You better not Fucking die on us!" I growled at her as I took off my jacket and used it to apply pressure to the wounds.

  "That will not happen." A smug voice replied from the doorway.

  We turned towards it. "Get the fuck away from us." Blackthorn  growled at Whitehall who had begun walking towards us.

    "Oh, sweet Fräulien. You seem to have forgotten one important piece of information." He growled and lifted her chin before gripping her face. "I'M the one in charge." He took a step back to address us all. "You all are to return to your quarters until you are retrieved in the morning."

    "Yes doctor." The others replied reluctantly before following orders. The rest of us carried Queen to the cell, Pietro holding the door open.

  "Thanks Piet." Wanda muttered to her brother.

  "No problem." He replied gruffly as he watched the others carry an unconscious Queen to one of the threadbare cots. "Will she be alright?"

      I sighed. "We can only hope that this triggers a little of her regeneration but we can't be sure. They've never gone so brutal before."

  "Did she do something really bad that scared them?" Nina asked timidly.

    "It's possible little one." Wanda answered her quietly.

   We all looked at the sleeping girl who looked regal, even as she was covered in blood. Even as her chest heaved for air. As her chest moved slowly as it repaired itself.

     I saw as the others shed a few tears. We can't keep doing this. We're going to die here. My eyes drifted to Nina. She's so young, only five years old. Queen was 6 for christ sakes. She's barely 16 now. I'm only a few months older. Blackthorn just turned 13. I snapped out of my thoughts as I felt tears land onto my collarbone. Shakily I wiped the tears from my face.

   "Let's get you to bed little one. You'll be able to see her in the morning." Blackthorn led the small child to her small cot next to mine.

  "Promise?"

"Promise."

      I sighed as I looked around. Everyone was sleeping. Queen's ragged breaths were all that could be heard.

     Wake up soon.

    Hello Lovelies! Hope you are enjoying this! Again, I apoligize for the wait on such crappy writing. TA TA DARLINGS!
