"I don't know if she'll accept Nat." I heard Clinton say downstairs. "Did you think I would have when we first met?" Nat asked him. It was silent for a while and I heard footsteps walking away. I took a deep breath before walking out of my room, yes my room not 'my' room. I looked around before quickly walking downstairs and walked to the front door. "What are you doing?" I heard behind me and I immediately went into fight mode as I turned around. "Oh it's you." I said as I stood straight. "Just going for a walk." And I was met with a chuckle. "No you're not Mary, you haven't eaten anything yet." Bucky said as he grabbed my hand took me with him to the kitchen. I groaned as I felt too weak to just break free so I just followed him. He sat me down at the table and I immediately laid my head on the table. "Mary what would you like to eat?" He ask and I sighed. "Anything, I don't care." I groaned as I felt how hungry I was. I felt a gentle hand on my shoulder but I didn't move my head. "How are you feeling Mary?" Steve asked as he sat down next to me. "Hungry, but good." I groaned as I felt my stomach rumble really loudly. "Sorry about that." Bucky and Steve both laugh at the sound and Steve placed his hand on my shoulder again. "It's okay kid, just make sure you eat properly from now on okay?" He asked and I nodded. "I will, the only reason I didn't eat their food is because I think they put truth serum in there." I heard Steve groan and I slowly sat back up before we sat in a long silence.

"Truth serum? Are you sure?" He looked at me with concern and I looked at Bucky who matches Steve's concern. "Well not 100% but why else would they give me steak and all kinds of nice food while I'm locked up? Same with the drinks, they offered me all kinds of drinks, soda, alcohol." They both started nodding as they were thinking. "We gotta tell Nat." Steve said and I shook my head. "No no don't tell Nat." I grabbed Steve's arm. "Don't tell Nat what?" Nat said and I froze as I heard Nat behind me. "Well shit." I lay my head back on the table. "There is something you should know about when they held me at the head quarters of S.H.I.E.L.D., they probably used food and drinks to get me to talk." I groaned as my stomach rumbled again. "What do you mean?" Nat asked and I sighed before sitting back up and turning towards her. "The reason I didn't eat or drink anything is because I think there was truth serum in them. They only brought me fancy food and drinks, it got fancier and fancier every day." I saw the anger in Nat's eyes and without saying a word she walked out of the building. "Steve you better go after her or she might do something stupid" I looked at where Nat left. "No I got it." Clint said as he dropped to the floor and walked after her. "Wait where did he come from?" I looked around confused as Bucky and Steve laughed. "He's called Hawkeye for a reason kid." Steve said and pointed to the spot where Clint jumped down from. The one spot you can keep yourself up between 2 walls and the ceiling. I sighed and shook my head as I laid my head back down. "Too weak for this shit." I heard Bucky and Steve laugh.

Nat and Clint walked back in with Nat rubbing her knuckles. "Did you hit him?" I looked at her as I sat up on the couch. "No she almost did though but punched the wall instead." Clint said and I chuckled. "Typical." I laid back down. "Wait a minute, let's go back to 1,5 weeks ago" Nat said as she took a few steps back so she could see me. "Right?" I raised an eyebrow. "You said you escaped right before graduation and it's been 14 years ago." She said and I nodded. "And?" I quickly regretted that as she launched at me. "Hey stop. Nat. Let go." I make sure she can't touch my face. "YOU CHOSE TO BECOME HOMELESS AS DAMN CHILD?!" She yelled as she stopped hitting me and I sighed as I looked at her. "I was already wondering when you were going to figure it out." I sat up and Clint looked at me confused. "What does she mean, you went homeless as a child?" He asked and I nodded. "The graduation is when the girls reach the age of 13. I ran away the day before so when I was 12." I sighed as I remembered it was my birthday tomorrow but kept my mouth shut. "Damn." Is all Clint could say.

"Dinner is ready." Wanda said as she knocked on my door. "Okay I'll be right down." I smiled at her before continuing to play with my pin. "What do you have there?" She asked and I shrugged. "Just a pin I stole from the leader of the red room before escaping." I held it out to her so she could take it and have a look. "It's like a trophy, I won, because I escaped." Wanda nodded along as she inspected it closely. "It's a useful trophy too as it is so tiny you can take it with you anywhere you go." Wanda said and I sat up. "Well yeah exactly, if needed I can throw it at someone and escape." She looked at me wide-eyed before we both started laughing. "Come on." She said and pulled me downstairs with her. "Ah. Mary, welcome." Tony said and smiled widely. "Right...?" I say down slowly feeling unsure about his big smile. "I told you it would scare her." Sam said and I shook my head. "It doesn't scare me, it's just a bit... much." I laughed as Nat handed me a plate with a mountain of food. "Uh... Nat, how much do you think I can eat?" I looked at her and she shrugged. "You need to regain your strength." She said and I rolled my eyes before I started eating.
