The first thing I noticed when I came to was that Castor had returned. It was difficult to explain how I knew without contacting her. It was like the pressure in my head had a slight increase. Castor was somewhat unconscious, how that happened, I couldn't be sure.

Where are we?

As I've said before, Bec, I'm not your personal Jarvis.

That's great but can you tell me?

I have no idea.

I was held in a star position vertically, my bound hands about my head. My eyes opened by a metal claw, ready for some form of torture. Cuffs had been reapplied and the barrier of power had sent my head spinning. I tried transforming into Castor but that was no use. Panic began to well within me but I pushed it down, determined not be ruled by my fears and become irrational.

That's ironic. Castor muttered.

A screen lit up before me, waving in hypnotic movements. Colours of all sorts waved in endless patterns and collided with each other. A figure walked in front of the screen, and his deep voice spoke, "Are you ready to comply?"

...

It continued, weeks of exhaustion, staring at the screen. I often fell into a dazed and shallow sleep, the lack of supplements draining me. I became weak, and vulnerable. It'd be only a little time before they truly broke me. The hard thing was to determine their intentions. I'd always been a thorn in the side of Hydra as Abby, taking out some of their people. Did they know it was me though?

I'd spent weeks in Hydra's base, slowly succumbing to their hypnosis. Now that I think about it, it was probably months.

"Are you ready to comply?... Are you ready to comply?... Are you ready to comply?..." The same voice whispered over and over again, slowly making its way through my cracks and breakages. I could feel it widening the chips and slowly making its way further and further into my consciousness. Even if the voice had stopped, the whispers would continue.

During the confines of my capture and torture, I tugged at the restraints in a thousand different ways. But it was of no use, escape was an unachievable goal and practically impossible. I was going to become a Hydra agent. And that thought made me fear more than any other kind of torture.

It was on one particular day that they turned off the tv, however my eyes kept playing the loop. They lowered me to a horizontal level.

Castor? I asked weakly.

Yes?

If there's any way to return the memories to the Avengers, please do it.

I-I don't know how to.

Please, just do it. I whispered.

"Don't worry Abby, it will be over soon, or is it Becky?" The man chuckled as he inserted a serum into me. It was a syringe will with a resin-coloured liquid. I watched as it was injected and then pulled out. I waited for the effects, feeling the serum slowly flow through me, hoping, as my last wish that Castor could get their memories back to the Avengers.

Suddenly, every sense exploded into pain. I writhed and screamed and hunched in pain. If it weren't for the cuffs I would've caused the entire base to explode.

Memories of every kind of pain I'd endured over the course of my life came shooting back to me.then somehow the Avengers' memories as well. A broken bone, shrapnel in the chest, an uppercut by a metal being. This list grew endless and I writhed in agony as it continued.

I began to cry as my nerves went into overload. The pain was becoming unbearable. Everything within me was shattered into a thousand pieces. My screams curdled in the air.

Agony. Agony. Agony. Agony. Agony...

It hurt.

But not anymore.

"Are you ready to comply?" The voice asked.

"Yes,"

A/N: A bit short. Hydra, hullo, there you are. Took you a little while to appear. Thanks to @Hey_Caroline (I think that's how you spell your name... Sorry) for always commenting. She's another original.

Anyway, after this, there's six chapters to go! Wooooooo! And then I'll be editing everything and posting my next book... And guess what? It'll have tabs, I'm very proud of myself for finally getting tabs.

This book will probably be finished by the end of the week so stay highly tuned for updates cause they're gonna come in fast, real soon.

Over and out agents!
