I was back in the alleyway the same one I was in a year ago. It wasn't that bad honestly, I liked it better here than the tower. I heard my phone ring, it was a call from…..Nick? I wonder why.
"Agent Espenosa speaking,"
"I have a mission for you, a Hydra take down."
"Okay where am I getting picked up."
"At the field."
"Okay, sir."
When the phone call ended, I sighed and went to the spot. The jet landed and I was excited to see Matthew as the pilot.
I ran inside and sat in the back in the window seat, and soon after Matthew came out of the cockpit and I ran and hugged him.
"Hey Aria, how have you been?"
"Good, what about you?"
"Good, so why am I picking you up today, miss?" He asked as we sat down.
"Well, I have a mission."
"Are your teammates going to meet you there?"
"Nope, this solo mission, nothing I haven't done before." I answered causally.
"Wait, they sent a 9 year old-"
"Actually I started going on solo missions at 8"
" Okay, they sent an 8 year old on a mission by herself?"
"Yep, and I complete them"
"What's this mission?"
" Hydra take down."
"What!?!"
"Yeah…..I've been doing these since i was 8 and ½"
Matthew didn't like that answer
"Im sorry" I said looking down.
"Aria, no no no I am not mad at you not at all, I mad a S.H.I.E.L.D for sending an 8 and ½ year old on missions that bravo teams would normally take on." He explained hugging me.
"Okay, as long as you're not mad."
"No I am not, but, I will not be happy if I hear a certain little girl got hurt on said mission." He said tickling me.
"Okay, okay, I wont get hurt this time." I laughed out.
"Alright I better get back to flying this thing. '' He gave me a kiss on the forehead and left for the cockpit again.
I decided to write in my journal for a bit. Once we reached the jump site I got up and was about to jump until I heard Matthew yell.
"Don't get hurt!!"
"I won't!!" I yelled back with a laugh and I jumped. Once I located the entrance and went in. Everything was going good...until it wasn't.
I was about to leave when I got surrounded. I tried to get put but there were too many and they won. I got captured and thrown into a cell and knocked out….After a few days I was transported to who knows where, I was tortured.
I got shocked, cut, beaten and more. They tried to get information on S.H.I.E.L.D from me and information on the Avengers too. But I didn't say anything…They didn't like that. So a few weeks later I layed on the ground not moving…It hurt too much to do so. I saw an airplane from my window and I thought of a song….so I sang
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shootin' stars
I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shootin' stars
I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now
"Kid, shut up !" A guard yelled but I couldn't care less.
I felt myself singing again, I feel like me the most when I am singing. I haven't sung for so long that I didn't want to stop ...So I didn't.
Yeah, I could use a dream or a genie or a wish
To go back to a place much simpler than this
'Cause after all the partyin' and smashin' and crashin'
And all the glitz and glam and the fashion
And all the pandemonium and all the madness
There comes a time where you fade to the blackness
"I said shut up!!"
I didn't want to stop, if I die than I will die singing, cause no one is coming to help the Avengers don't care, S.H.E.I.L.D probably didn't even notice, Matthew wouldn't be informed...So I am all alone, only matthew would care if I die, and probably wouldn't care for long. I have no one left to live for so…..I will go out singing.
And when you're starin' at the phone in your lap
And you hopin' but them people never call you back
But that's just how the story unfolds
You get another hand soon after you fold
And when your plans unravel in the sand
What would you wish for, if you had one chance?
I sang out as tears rolled down my cheeks. My cell door opened and I was taken out and thrown in a chair , tied down in front of a camera.
I actually laughed, they think anyone is going to come for me. They must be high.
"What's so funny?" A guard asked, menacing .
"The fact that you think this video is going to do anything."
"It will, we are sending it straight to your teammates."
"I think you mean exteammates"
"That won't matter, they will still listen so a poor little girl wont get hurt."
I laughed again at this," They didn't care when I was with them, why would they care now?"
"Just shut up!" I shook my head and they started the recording.
"Hello Avengers, you see we have something you want and we have some requirements to get it back." The leader said to the camera
"They wont do anything!!"
"Shut up brat!!" I rolled my eyes.
" I need everything you guys have on project Bravo ...or you will never see her again. " he said while turning the camera to me.
"Hello, so don't give these guys anything, m'k?"
"Shut up!" A guard said punching me.
" Good punch dude."
the guard rolled his eyes.
" You see, we have her and if that's not enough motivation. I would recommend you do what I ask or her life will get a whole lot more painful."
The guard started to punch me, but I didn't make a sound. When he realized that wasn't working he got a knife and cut me down from my elbow to my wrist. I didn't show any sign of discomfort and did not untrue a sound.
He did the same to the other side and I still didn't say anything.
" Why wont you say anything?!"
"Cause once I do you win, and I will not let that happen."
"Ugh!"
They took a gun and shot my leg, it took everything in me not to do anything.
"Cut the recording!"
That was the last thing I heard before I passed out....They didn't want to see me...Now they wont…..
