Chapter 10 - I'm off the deep end

I woke up back in my cell with a first aid kit to patch myself up. I got out of the bed and patched myself up and thought.

'What if the team is trying to find me and save me.'

'No they don't care about you, they probably just watched the video and said oh well.'

I sighed as I finished and went back to my bed and some tears escaped as I realized that I will be stuck here forever cause my team doesn't care enough about me to come help me.

I had a realization at that point.

I need to grow up and be independent.

I can't rely on people anymore.

They have always failed me, but I haven't failed me.

So I sat up and whipped my tears and started observing to figure out how to escape.

I am all alone so I have to get myself out , not wait for prince charming.

About 2 days later I memorized the guards rotations and made a plan. Time to put it into action.

Next time the rotation happened I used my powers to get the keys out of the guardians pockets as he walked by.

I quickly unlocked the cell door and ran. I was so exhausted but I had to keep running. I can't remember the last proper meal I've had. I ran and ran.

I got out but did get shot in the leg ...again. But that didn't matter. I could teleport again. The building had a power restore on it so I could barely use my telekinesis and couldn't teleport,but now I could.

I teleported to the medbay of the tower and grabbed a granola bar and first aid kit and teleported back to my home.

The alley way. I quickly ate the granola bar and then patched myself up. I was exhausted so I laid down and slept...

3rd person pov

The team had been searching since the video came in with no luck.

"Sir, Aria just appeared in the medbay."

The entire team ran to the medbay and were confused to see no one there.

"J.A.R.V.I.S, I thought you said Aria was here"

"She was sir, left shortly after, taking a granola bar and first aid kit."

"Why did she need a first aid kit?" Nat asked.

"Because based on my scans she had a bullet wound in her left leg."

Nat and Loki looked nervous.

"What else did you get off the scan?" Loki asked as everyone else left not really caring.

"She was dehydrated, and close to starvation."

Loki and Nat looked at each other.

"What are we going to do Loki?"

"I don't know but we need to find her."

Aria's POV

I was sitting in my alleyway when I got a call from Fury.

"Agent Espenosa speaking."

"Thank god you're okay agent, I need answers so I am sending someone to get you ready." He said then hung up.

I went to the field and saw it was Matthew. I went inside and we lifted off. I was sitting in the back window seat, when Matthew ran to me.

"Aria, thank god you're okay." He hugged me.

"Its good to see you" I told him.

"Where were you?"

"I got captured, but I'm okay."

"What did I say about you being careful?"

"That I needed to be." I repeated.

"Are you sure okay?"

"Yep!" I said happily.

He just laughed and shook his head.

"Hey, what about this weekend I take you out to an amusement park?"

I nodded excitedly.

He laughed and continued,"Okay, I will pick you up on Saturday, 7am?"

"Yay!!" I squealed and leaped up and hugged him.

He laughed and hugged me back. "Okay, I have to go back to the cockpit."

I nodded and sat back in my seat with a smile on my face. Once we arrived Matthew hugged my goodbye and promised to see me on Saturday. I knocked on Nick's office.

"Come in" I walked in and sat down in the chair in front of his desk.

"Where were you, Agent Espenosa?"

"I got captured on the latest mission." I responded.

"Why did that happen, Agent?"

"I was heading out of the base and I got cornered got captured and was tortured and got put on video as leverage to get insight on a S.L.I.E.L.D file, the file on bravo, I escaped and teleported to the tower to get a fist aid kit and went ack to teh alleyway." he nodded and told me,"You are to return to the tower immediatly and stay there, you rae dissmissed."

I sighed and left. I teleported to the alleyway and got my stuff and started walking towards the tower wanting to wait as long as possible to get there.

I arrived at the tower and got in the elevator.

"Welcome back Aria. How have you been?" Jarvis said, making conversation while having the elevator go up.

"I have been better. How has the team been?"

"they have been better"

"Really? What's been happening?"

"they have been stressed out not knowing what was happening to their youngest teammate."

"Is Peter okay?"

"No, Aria, they have been worrying about you."

"Really?" I asked surprised.

"Yes, they have been looking nonstop to find you."

I was shocked," But didn't they not want me here?"

"Well, when the rest of the team, Fury and Matthew found out they weren't so happy."

"What do you mean the rest of the team?"

"Natasha, Loki and Thor."

At that moment the elevator opened and the entire team was sitting there in the living room. I guess I'm off the deep end.....
