The Red Thistle

Testing

I kept my eyes closed as I felt the needle go into my arm, just breathe in and out. In and out. I felt it being pulled out, I opened my eyes and saw Dr.Stein wiping the needle, He looked me in the eye.

"The effects will start shortly then we'll begin." He told me, great. He left the cell then, I've been here around a week now. I wonder if the avengers have been able to find me yet or are they still trying to find us? I know I'm on a ship of somesort for I can feel it moving under my feet,

I started to feel a sudden pain corse through me like an eletric shock. I had to lean my hands on the wall, I gritted my teeth so not to scream. My whole body began to shake, I tried to think of better times but it was impossible, I must of been in this state for hours maybe. I eventually had to lay on the floor for I didn't have any strength left. What has he done to me? Guess we'll find out, I slowly started to black out. I dreamt that I was back in Steve's arms like nothing had happened, we were so happy; Will he blame what has happened on Mason? Or will he get him to help? I began to awake from my sleeping state, I felt like a massive weight was in all of my muscles. I stretch slowly then began to sit up, I felt funny. Like I've been holding my breathe under water for longer than your able to, I felt light headed. I heard the door unlock, He came back through.

"It seems the new serum has taken effect." He told me,

"meaning?" I asked,

"Well if you would like to come with me." He gestered to the door, I followed him out it and saw two security gaurds standing outside.

"Worried are we?" I asked, he gave a small laugh.

"Loki's idea actually." I followed him along a handful of corridors into another room exactly like my cell only inside was a mirror. I stepped inside, this week hasen't been very kind to me telling by my extremely untamed hair which I could see had a blue stripe through it now. My dress that I still had on from my night with Steve now had many rinkles in it now,

"If your trying to show me how bad I look you've done a great job." I said,

"Place your hand on the mirror." I heard, I did so.

"Imagine a teacup." I closed my eyes and did so. I felt my grip on the mirror disappear then I heard a clink, I opened my eyes and saw a small tea cup lying on the floor; OH MY FUCKING GOD!

"Excillent." I heard Dr.Stein behind me, he walked over to my side. I saw that he was holding a pair of jeans, a t-shirt and a zipper. He gave them to me,

"Hopefully in the next month we'll get your new power so strong that you can even change the appearence of people around you." I didn't say or think anything,

"What will this be in aid for." I asked, He gestured for me to leave the room. I walked out whilst hearing a clinking noise from where the cup was, I looked back and saw the cup was now a mirror again.

"There is to be a speech to be given by the presadent in two months time. We hope that your improved powers will get you to pose as him whilst he's you and during the speech you hand over the power of the country to Loki."He's got to be joking,

"And why not use Mason since you seem to have great control over him." We were standing outside my cell at this point,

"I think I can answer that." I looked into my cell, I saw him. My closest and dearest friend. I ran to hug him but he slammed me to the floor, my confused expression seemed to amuse him.

"M-M-Mason?" I asked, I stood back up.

"Seemed surprised oh were you expecting a little confused reck of a friend. Oh that ship sailed before you even saw the improved me." What?

"This was all planed from the start. Wasn't it?" I asked him, he gave a jokeful bow. I grabbed him and threw him into the wall,

"I'm going to leave you to sort things out." Dr.Stein locked the door then, so it was just Mason and I.

"How could you do this to me?! I thought we were best friends?!" I shouted at him,he shook his head as he stood up,

"You don't get it do you? Loki and Dr.Stein came to my flat offering me the chance to make a better life for all of us. To get me to do things you could only dream of."

"So you lied to me?"

"like you didn't do that also!"

"I DID IT TO PROTECT YOU!" I shouted,

"THAT'S SHIT AND YOU KNOW IT!" I punched him in the jaw, he just grinned.

"They knew from the start that you were Charlotte Little. We thought we should have some fun with you whilst your here." I pushed him into the wall but he dragged me with him,

"WHY?! WHY DO THIS?!" I sobbed in anger,

"EVER KNOWN WHAT IT'S LIKE TO WANT SOMETHING SO MUCH THAT IT KILLS YOU?! THAT'S WHAT IT WAS LIKE KNOWING YOU!" His face was red with anger.

"ALL THOSE GUYS YOU WERE WITH! WHEN YOU MOVED SCHOOL THEN DECIDING TO LEAVE FOR NEW YORK WITHOUT A SECOND THOUGHT ON HOW I MIGHT FEEL ABOUT THIS?! ANY OF THIS?! I THOUGHT THAT ONLY BECOMING THIS WOULD FINALLY GET YOUR ATTENION BUT THEN THERE'S THAT IDIOT IN THE BLUE SUIT! YOU SHOULD SUFFER THE WAY I DID." I never knew he felt like this, I went to help him up.

"Mason I...." He cringed from my touch.

"We both may be monster but at least I'm not on the inside." He walked straight through the wall then. He hates me. He's hated me this whole time. He meant everything he did to me, Steve was right. He could of killed me.
