"There were no signs of any bodies under the water in a mile radius from the incident," Tony said, trying to sound careless, "chances are she's still alive, chances are..." He stopped talking and yet everyone knew what he meant.

"In charge of me?" you asked before clearing your throat just as your vision started clearing, too. "I'm in charge of myself."
"Not here."
"Where is 'here'?" you inquired, your eyes narrowing into a glare as more of your senses came back and you could start feeling your body again. Something felt off when you breathed but you ignored it as you got the answer.
"HYDRA."
