Chapter 4: The Elevator Incident
The two were so silent as we walk, you could cut it with a knife, if I had a knife. I could make one, but then they would probably want to cut me up instead. Happy thoughts, happy thoughts. We walk through some hallways and up eight flights of stairs, well they actually drag me up the stairs. We soon reach the 27th floor and I'm utterly exhausted, I'm really considering whether or not to rename them Man Handler 1 and Man Handler 2. But I decide against it as we emerge from the stairwell. At the end of the hall is an elevator and Psycho 1 and 2 begin pulling me along at a quick pace towards it. We soon stand in front of it as Psycho 1 leans over and whispers, "You'll soon be of no help to us...Because you'll be dead" he whispers as he presses the down button. Yup definitely sticking with their current names, it fits them like a glove.
The doors of the elevators slide open and I come face to face with Steve Rogers. He holds in his surprise but I don't, my jaw drops, but the Psycho twins push me towards the middle of the elevator as they turn to the control panel and say, "Detainment". I glance at him and I am pushed towards the centre of the elevator, beside Steve. What a place to meet up with the guy I was stalking just under 24 hours ago. Poor Steve, he's probably wondering why on earth I'm here in cuffs in a SHIELD elevator with him. But that doesn't seem to be the thing he's focused on. I stare up at his face to see his eyes darting towards the ground and my face. I begin to follow his stare until my eyes land on a gun holster. Does he want me to go all Mel Gibson on the guys in the elevator and start shooting people? But I then notice that the man with the gun has his hand firmly placed on it as if he's ready to attack at any moment.
Now I understand what he's trying to say without saying it. Then I begin to survey the other men in the elevator. The gentlemen behind us have about ten pounds of sweat dripping down their foreheads, the four guys in front of us are clutching their holsters and the guys on either side of us are visibly shaking. This is going to end with several dead bodies, I just really hope none of them are mine.
I glance over at Rogers and nod, acknowledging the information he discreetly gave me. That's when, in a rather loud voice he says, "Before we get started, does anyone want to get out?". Does he really give them the curtesy of leaving? Or is he trying to be overly dramatic. But no one gets out, nor do they respond to his question, they simply go into full on fight mode.
The man in front of us grabs a rod from somewhere on his belt and it becomes electrified, like a cow prod. He spins around and tires to jab it at Steve. Jeez, what did he do to piss them off so much? Not a great time for witty comments, I think to myself as I dodge the prod along with the Captain. Then all hell breaks loose as every man in the elevator latches onto Steve and he presses an emergency button which keeps the elevator from moving. As I regain my balance I feel a man grab onto my shoulders and pull me back. I struggle and then get a hold of him and try to fight him but I'm not exactly a trained SHIELD agent so I fail miserably. I get thrown at the wall as I see Steve has already knocked out half of the guys.
However, I get my moment as he gets stuck to the wall because of some thing attached to his wrist. I quickly grab the chains of the cuffs and blast them off and throw a golden disk at the guy about to sock Steve in the gut, he looks at me with wide eyes and I smile at him and forget that there are still four other guys. One pushes me to the floor and I don't recover quick enough, until I get punched in the face, what ever happened to don't hit a girl!!! I feel dazed and see another punch coming when I blast him and he flys against Steve which gets him stuck to the wall again. I stumble to my feet to see Steve getting zapped by some guy, who seems very content about the zapping. I'm not much help, but Steve doesn't need it as he knocks out two other guys and unsticks himself to the wall. However, I'm too slow to notice the guy who comes behind me and places a knife to my throat. This has been the absolute worst elevator ride, and there's no music either!
I snap back to reality when they start talking, "I'll kill her Cap, all you have to do is surrender and she lives" I glance back at the man holding me hostage and interrupt Steve's let her live speech, "Gimme a break" I say along with a swift movement of shattering the knife and blasting him towards Steve. Steve grabs him and throws him up towards the ceiling of the elevator and let's him drop to the floor. I then glance down at my feet and see the men scattered around us, "Good work, same time tomorrow?" I joke. I can automatically tell that he's not impressed at all. He storms up to me and I'm then pressed against the door of the elevator, "Who the hell are you?" he shouts in my face. Really I just saved his life twice and he's yelling at me. Well I didn't really save his life, I just saved him from upchucking his lunch, once. "Oh you kiss your mother with that mouth?" I say, my comment not entirely helping in this situation. Me and my big flipping mouth!
I see his eyes widen with amusement but snap back to a serious expression as he backs up. "Who are you?" he's suddenly not as firm with his question as if he's embarrassed by or ashamed of something that I just said. I extend my hand approving of his more reserved demeanour, "Dahlia Austin" I say with a quick smile as I turn to the elevator control panel and open the door. Before I can say my witty comment about our grand escape plan we're met by men with big guns and wearing body amour. Steve quickly does a little ballerina twirl and slices the elevator cables with his shield. We then quickly descend and for some reason I know we're still not in the clear.
