Chapter 3

They loaded Loki and Abi on the Quinjet and set off back to the carrier. They informed Fury and he was now talking to Nat.

"Is he saying anything?" Fury asked.

"Not a word." Natasha replied.

"And the girl."

"She's still out cold. Her body seems to be healing itself. Stark should have killed her." Natasha told him.

"Well, just get them hear we're low on time." Fury commanded.

Steve walked over from where Abi's unconscious form was laid to where Stark was stood.

"I don't like it." Steve muttered.

"What? Rock of ages giving up so easy?" Stark asked.

"I don't remember it being that easy. And the fact that Abi just happens to show up now." Steve told him.

"You don't know it's her. It could just be someone who looks like her." Natasha added.

"Anyway this guy packs a wallop." Steve muttered.

"Still, you're pretty spry for an older fellow." Stark said. "What's your thing, Pilates?"

"What?" Steve asked clearly confused.

"It's like calisthenics. You might have missed a couple of things, doing time as a capsicle." Tony told him.

"Fury didn't tell me he was calling you in."

"Yeah, there's a lot of things Fury doesn't tell you." Tony informed him.

A storm suddenly started; lightning lit up the plane.

"Where's this coming from?" Natasha said looking startled.

Loki looked around nervously.

"What's the matter? Scared of a little lightning?" Steve asked.

"I'm not overly fond of what follows." Loki replied.

Steve and Tony looked at each other. A bang sounded as something landed on the roof of the plane. Tony put his helmet back on and Steve grabbed his helmet and shield. Stark opened the hangar door.

"What are you doing?" Steve yelled over the noise.

A tall blonde man wearing Asgardian armour appeared and threw a hammer knocking Tony into Steve and putting them both on the floor. He grabbed Loki and took off. Tony followed and Steve followed a little while after. The three of them had a brief battle in the woods but Thor, Loki's brother, agreed to come back with them.

When they got back to the helicarrier Loki was taken to a cell while Steve took Abi to Dr banner and the resident shield doctor. Steve sat tapping his knee as Dr Banner walked back into the room.

"She's definitely your sister. The DNA matches." Banner told him.

"How is she still alive?" Steve asked.

"There's something different about her genes. Her cells are regenerating themselves at an alarming rate. In theory she could survive anything other than a shot to the head. But she can still age. So how she's here now I don't know." Banner explained.

"And her powers."

"It seems just like you she's been experimented on. Her enhanced cells almost match yours. She's effectively a super soldier. But there's another gene present, one that shouldn't be in her coding. It seems to have given her abilities." Banner told him. Steve nodded and got up and walked over to where they were monitoring her on camera. She was still out cold and handcuffed to a bed. Steve shook his head and walked away.

Her hand moved and once again the blue glow appeared. She ripped off the handcuffs and slammed the guards into the wall leaving them both unconscious. She pushed open the door with her powers and an alarm started beeping. She started running to the main control room She knocked out anyone in her way and crashed through the main control room doors. With a flick of her wrist Fury's gun was in her hand. She aimed it straight at his head.

"Where am I?" She asked. Everyone else in the room raised their guns. "Put your guns down or I will shoot in the head and then block all your shots anyway." Fury motioned for them to put their weapons down. "Where am I?"

"You're on a helicarrier in the middle of the Atlantic." Fury told her.

"On the way back to America." Abi added.

"Miss Rogers we can talk. Just put down the gun."

"Who do you work for?" Abi asked the gun still raised.

"We work for shield." Fury said.

"Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement, and Logistics Division" Abi muttered. "What year is it?" She asked her voice wavering.

Fury was reluctant to answer.

"2012." Abi muttered. "Seventy years. They had me almost seventy years." Everyone looked at her as she put her head in her hands.

"Abi?" Steve had walked in after hearing the alarm.

She turned to face him aiming the gun at his head. "Who are you?" She asked.

Steve froze. He recollected himself. "It's me. It's Steve." He told her raising his hands.

"Steve?" She asked as recognition crossed her face. She dropped the gun and ran to hug him. He wrapped his arms around her. Everyone else was staring at the gun which was suspended in the air. She let go of Steve and flicked the gun back into Fury's holster. "Sorry." She muttered.

All the others other than Tony had walked in now and were all stood looking confused. Apart from Natasha who was looking at her with recognition.

"Abi, would you like to have a seat and explain to us all how you're here." Fury asked gesturing to the table and chairs.

She carried on standing.

"What happened?" Steve asked.

She looked around everyone nervously. "I lost it. You put that plane in the ice and I lost it. I threw a chair through a window and then I ran. I wasn't thinking straight. I lost you both in a matter of days." She looked as though she was about to cry. "I thought I could find Bucky. I don't know why, I just did. Instead I found a Soviet patrol."

"They did this to you?" Steve asked.

"Yes. No. I don't know. I don't remember."

"What?" Fury said.

"I remember a scientist sticking needles in my arm and it hurting like hell. I remember waking up and hearing all these voices in my head and then realising they were everyone else's thought. And being able to move things with my mind. I can remember them putting me into cryo-freeze. But then everything else is fuzzy." She told them.

"Telekinesis and telepathy." Banner muttered. "Your powers." He added when she looked confused. She nodded.

"Wow. This is a lot to take in." Steve muttered.
