Chapter 13 || Restrained

"She's not gonna want to comply if we stick her in a prison box." Bucky says frustrated, still trying to accept the fact that (y/n) isn't the same anymore.

He can't look at her unconscious body.

But Tony does. He looks at (y/n) and makes sure the metal bindings are tight.

(Y/n) is in one of Tony's old suits. Tony programmed it to bring her arms across her body to its opposite hip like a metal straight jacket.

For safe measure, Tony locked a vibranium metal box that only hugs around her body up to her neck, leaving her head exposed, which is limply resting on its chin.

"The metal box is unnecessary." Bucky continues. "She just spent 2 months of hell in one." He says, clearly angry.

"Yeah." Nat agrees and glances at Bucky, then Tony. "She's not our prisoner."

"I know but she can't snap and explode with all of us in here." Tony says low. He doesn't want to lock her up, but she is dangerous.

His guilt is eating him up faster than ever now that he knows what his decision has led him to, and who it has hurt.

"Let's wait for her to wake up first." Steve says, staring at (y/n) with a frown on his face and crossed arms on his chest.

(Y/n) is being held on a different floor and in a room with only 3 walls. The marble floor lights up the room. Everyone else is standing outside of it, looking in.

Tony meant for this floor to keep Loki until they knew what to do with him.

There would be an energy wall activated when locking Loki in, but now it's holding one of their own members.

(Y/n) groans and Steve is the first to notice as he never took his eyes off her.

"(N/n)." Steve says and everyone's eyes dart to her.

Her head is rolling around, her hair covering most of her face and she manages to hold her head upright.

(N/n). Can you hear me?" Natasha says but (y/n) still doesn't look up.

Instead she stares at the ground, almost oblivious to the team standing around her and starts whispering something.

"No." She says under her breath as she tries to move but only sees a big metal box to where her body should be. "No." She whispers again and quietly starts hyperventilating as shuts her eyes tight like a bright light is shown in her face.

"Tony take her out." Steve says and Tony pauses for a moment, but grabs his tablet and starts pressing buttons, opening the tight metal box and his own suit, causing (y/n) to fall onto her knees.

She pants as she's freed and Bucky can't stand to look but he forces himself to, and the stares degrade her.

They make her scramble to her feet and stumble to the back of the small room, feeling small.

"(N/n)." Steve starts and (y/n)'s eyes dart to him. "Do you know who we are?"

She narrows her eyes at him.

"Of course I know who you are." She says, then looking at Tony. "I remember everything." She slides down her back against the wall, sitting down and splaying her legs out in front of her. "I remember every time I woke up in the water, thinking I had air but I didn't." She shrugs scoffing, but still struggling to breathe properly as if she forgot how to. "The hallucinations and visions before I woke up again somewhat brought peace to my mind for a moment."

Her eyes change from the floor to Tony's eyes, that are big and doll-like, full with regret.

(Y/n) scoffs again before speaking, almost laughing. "In all seriousness I think you should chain me up." (Y/n) says low, but loud enough for everyone to hear. "I can't control whatever this is and I don't want to blow us up." She sighs and leans her head back against the wall and closes her eyes, trying to stay calm, so she can tame her new powers.

I shift uncomfortably as Tony encases the vibranium around my wrists.
