Tørtured Søuls [REWRITTEN]

Behind Bars

~

The car came to an abrupt stop as the other agent got out, beginning to converse with what seemed like heavily armed guards.

I'm guessing my nervousness was noticeable as Agent Reid stopped to turn his head towards me for a second.

"I know this won't help you feel any less anxious about this prison, but I will say that I work here occasionally, checking up on reports and paperwork. I have one siblings and a friend who work here though. They are kind and sympathetic as I also am; I just don't really show it around my superiors," Agent Reid stated, trying to give me a reassuring smile.

"Why are you telling me this? I'm supposed to be an 'evil mutant' who just helped a bloody thirsty god destroy most of New York in an attempt to conquer Earth."

"Well, I overheard a conversation from Fury and another agent, Agent Barton. They explained that maybe you and Loki were possibly mind controlled during the entire time/mission, from the time you both stepped foot in New Mexico, to the time you both were defeated. Fury perceives Barton's claims as utter bullshit but after hearing Barton's reasoning, I believed Barton was mostly right," Reid explained, pointing to his eye. "The change in both Loki's and your eye colour was what mostly convinced me, and the behaviour change when your eye colour changed. However, it's up to you whether you say it was mind control that influenced your actions, same with Loki. If you don't want to talk about if it's true or not, I respect your decision."

"Thank you," I uttered.

Part of his words made me feel a little less uneasy, yet my mind was still spewing out toxic thoughts. To distract my mind, I decided to re-ask a question.

"So, why are you wearing an FBI vest if you are a S.H.I.E.L.D agent?"

"Well, when we left our department this morning to surround where you and Thor appeared at, all the other gear and vests were taken by the time I stumbled in. They said they had some old stuff in the back as the only thing I could find suitable was this FBI vest."

"They really did you wrong for that," I snickered, shaking my head while smiling.

Agent Reid sighed, laughing while saying, "Yeah I guess you could say they did."

"What two other people work here that know you really well?" I questioned.

"One is a scientist or you could say doctor. His name is Elliot. He is very quiet and partially shy when he literally first meets some people. He's my younger brother."

"I've met him before," I stated, recalling the time where I was interrogated by Agent Hill.

"He's very kind isn't he?" Reid chuckled. "Believes everyone can change, always claiming that everyone should at-least be given a second chance to prove themselves worthy. I believe the same but I mostly believe everyone has a reason for their actions, whether it's pain, guilt, hatred, or whatever. I believe your actions were acted on desperation, fear, and pain. Same with Loki."
