Madame B. first started by asking you simple questions, which obviously you refused to answer. She asked about your family, where they lived, how you grew up.
"Nothing? Really? They are pretty easy questions, no?" she said bringing herself level to your face, you stared at her blankly,
"Alright y/n, have it your way" she got up, turning away from you and nodding towards the two guys sitting at the table opposite you, they both nodded back and got up, and started heading towards you,
"Great" you muttered under your breath, the walked straight past you and over to a small table on wheels, they wheeled it over to you, and it had a selection of choice objects, taser guns, knives, crowbar and something you couldn't out of the corner of your eye, but you could smell it, gasoline. You did think they were a stupid bringing gasoline near you, but they must have faith in the restraints.
"Are you sure you don't want to be more compliant?"
"Why do this? This won't get you anything" you bit back at her,
"I want to break you" she said smiling, the two men moved in front of you holding knives, the smaller one had pasty skin and a buzz-cut, you could see the tattoos protruding out of the sleeves of his top, he moved closer to you putting the knife to your cheek, he didn't smile or look sorry, just a stern look on his face as he cut your face, you tried so hard not to scream, almost breaking your teeth as you clenched them together,
"Boss, she isn't healing" the taller man said, making Madame B turn on her heel, her high heels clicking against the floor as she made her way over,
"The restraints are combating her fire power, that is what is used to heal you, correct?" you nodded your head once,
"Do you want us to keep going?" he said confused,
"Yes"

You were brought into a room, it had a bed with no sheets, a toilet and a sink, it was clean but basic, you looked up and saw a single light and some ceiling fans, your hands and feet were in restraints and the guards left you standing alone, looking at your new room, a far cry from what your bedroom in the Compound was. You looked down at your restraints, and the blood still on your clothes and arms, you hopped over to the sink trying to clean up some of the cuts across your body, you then made your way over to the bed, and flopped down on it, the mattress was lumpy and stiff, you couldn't really do much expect for look at the ceiling, and that's when the fans all turned on, making the room much cooler, there must be something wrong, you got up and again, hopped your way over to the door, banging on it to get someone's attention, you shouted and banged until someone slid open the small window slot on the door,
"What?"
"It is cold in here, is there a reason the all the fans are on"
"It's the air conditioning units"
"Yeah but I am freezing"
Without replying he closed the small slot, you started to shiver at the cold, not being too familiar with the feeling lately, it wasn't long before your teeth started chattering and you could see your breath in the air. You weren't sure how long it had been since the fans turned on but minutes felt like hours, at some point the fans turned off, and a guard walked into the room,
"Let's go" he said, you didn't move, instead you kept shivering in place on the bed, he grabbed you by the arm forcing you onto your feet, and pulled you out of the room, you were brought to the same place as the day before, the water tight door, the two men, Madame B. and the table full of tools.
The room was so warm, warm compared to where you 'slept' last night, you assumed it was morning, but couldn't be sure. They had breakfast brought in for you in the morning on a tray with a warm cup of tea. You were grateful for the food, but mostly the warmth it brought, trying to navigate how to eat with both of your hands tied together.
"How did you sleep?" the woman asked, taking a seat opposite you,
"I didn't"
"How did you meet Natalia?" she asked,
"When Nick kidnapped me in the middle of the night and brought me to the Compound"
"Never before that?"
"No"
"Okay, what about Yelena?"
"Who's Yelena?" she nodded towards the men, they slapped the tray of food away from you before you could finish, causing you to roll your eyes, they dragged your chair away from the table,
"Y/n look, we just want to help you, but you need to help us too"
"I find that very hard to believe" you said looking at her,
"Do you even know what you are capable of?" she asked, and again you stared at her blankly,
"Do you even know where you come from, what you can do?" she asked again, you started growing more and more confused, what does this woman know that you don't?
"What do you know?"
"Tell us what you know first"
"I asked you first"
"Really?"
"You want me to help, you go first"
"You are from Planet Olympia or Planet X6-88, you are believed to be the last surviving member of the planet since the war"
"What? I'm human?"
"Planet Olympia is an earth like exoplanet, and its residents are all like you, you look very similar to our race, with noticeable differences"
"Like me? Differences?"
"Can control the elements Y/n, some fire, some water and some elements that even we probably haven't heard of"
"Why am I the only one left?"
"Why have they not told you this? This is all in your S.H.I.E.L.D. file, there is a message from your parents aboard the ship that crash landed, you are -"
"Sorry, I'm getting ahead of myself" she stopped herself from revealing too much,
"Why are you doing this?"
"I thought I already explain-"
"Yes yes, you want me to reach my full potential but why? What could you possibly gain from that?" you asked confused, as to how making you more powerful would be in her best interests, you couldn't figure it out,
"It just is"
"Okay, so why are you torturing me? Why do all this?"
"It is necessary" she said as she left the room, and gave the go ahead to the two men, one of which picked up a crowbar.

After the encounter with Madame B. you were brought into your room, after getting hit repeatedly by the men you fell once the guard let go of you, he left you on the floor and locked the room behind him. This was how your life went for a while, you were sure how long it had been but you hadn't seen her in a while, you were sleep deprived at night and beaten during the day, the nights you did sleep, you don't remember getting back to your room, likely passing out from the torture. You got fed once a day usually, and there had been a woman to come in and help clean you up a couple of times.
You had started to lose hope, they had did so much, they had played loud music at night so you couldn't sleep, turned the temperature so low you were freezing, they had put you in a white room for what you thought was a couple of days, without noise, furniture or human contact, a particularly hard day was when the smaller man had decided to try to drown you with gasoline, covering your mouth with a cloth and pouring it over, it burned and you felt some of it burn your organs from the inside out. You didn't know why they needed to do this to you, but you were just so tired of trying to hold it together, but even if you gave up and told her everything, she still needed you weak, so there was no winning in this scenario. You just hoped that the team was still looking for you, that there wasn't anything else happening that was occupying their time.
Wanda Pov
It has been weeks and we still have found nothing. That woman is a ghost and dangerous, she has been declared an Avengers level threat, but again, we can't find a thing on her. Natasha has gone back to S.H.I.E.L.D. Fury thinks it was an inside job as Natasha's log in had been used to access Y/n's files but Natasha was in the Compound when they were accessed. I just don't know what else I can do, me and Tony have spent countless nights falling asleep in the lab, Bruce is the same too. Natasha comes back occasionally but is gone before anyone can talk to her. Some of the team have been starting to lose hope I can feel it, I think everyone is just fed up with not finding anything.
When I went down to the lab the next morning, Natasha was already there with Tony,
"What's going on"
"We need to get the team together"
After Tony asked Friday to get everyone down to the lab, he shared the news,
"Natasha was able to get Fury to release Y/n's files to us"
"Natasha brought up her file, it detailed the the coordinates of the planet she was from, her parents, her race, everything, it also had a video" she clicked on it, regally dressed man and woman appeared on the screen, he spoke with a deep voice,
"Hi, we are the people of Planet Olympia, our planet is in imminent danger. We understand you have a somewhat intelligent life on your planet-"
"Honey, you can't say that"
"Sorry - we understand earth is a planet that is not unlike our own. We hope you can look after our daughter, she is the heir to the throne on Olympia. We hope to survive the attack but -"
"Your highness they have arrived"
"Please look after Y/n, and Y/n if you are watching, we are sorry, and we love you. We want to be with you, but we will not leave our people. May the earth protect you"
The screen went dark, and Natasha shut it down before it could play again. I didn't even know how to process what I just watched, she looked so human, she does look human,
"What does that mean?"
"Like why did we need to be here for this? It doesn't help us find her" I added,
"It means that Madame B. knows what Y/n is and needs her for something, it also means she can tell Y/n more about who she is" Natasha said back,
"Meaning she can earn Y/n's favour in exchange for information" Bruce realised,
"Bingo!" Tony said,
"Mr Stark, sorry to interrupt, but we have received a video from an unknown source, shall I play it?"
"Yes Friday"
Everyone quickly looked to watch the screen, and when we did it was the same robotic voice, this time she acknowledged that we are likely aware of who she is,
"We have Y/n in our facility at the moment, we understand you would want proof so enjoy our little 'home movie'"
"She's alive" Nat said, moving herself to watch the screen more closely, the scene's that played out on the screen were terrible, gut wrenching torture, we barely watched as we heard her scream echoing through the speakers, the torture becoming so much she passed out, that was when they took the restraints off, allowing her body to heal just enough and then putting them back on before she woke up,
"They are healing her in order to hurt her more" I said dumb founded,
"I think I'm going to vomit" I said covering my mouth,
The video continued to play until it switched to a live feed, we saw Y/n with her hands and feet tied together lying on top of a bed, we saw the door open and a man in what looked like riot gear walked in,
"Get up, time to go"
"Go where"
At that the guard grabbed his ear, and then moved closer to Y/n, and started to hit her with his security baton, she struggled but couldn't moved very far,
"Why isn't she fighting back" Yelena said,
"She can't" Tony answered back, pointing to her restraints,
"I helped Fury design them, they combat Y/n pyrokinesis"
"Shit" she said, before anyone could say anything else, the screen flickered and the picture changed to who we know as Madame B.,
"Hi Avengers, ever think how fitting that name is for you, never able to be on the forefront of these things"
"сучка" Yelena spat,
"I hope you know Y/n has remained very loyal to you, she is a tough nut to crack, but we are trying. You must have trained her well Natalia" she smiled, I watched as Natasha looked away from the screen, Melina moving to put a hand on her back,
"Look, I won't take up much more of your time, but it's been so quiet from your side I thought I would give you a little motivation, I'll be in touch" she nodded her head to someone off camera, and the whole thing shut down,
"Mr. Stark, I am unable to get a location from the video"
"It's okay Friday, we need to think of something else" Natasha got up from her chair, and stormed out of the room, I didn't have the energy, I kind of just sat there frozen, not sure what to do, trying to keep the images from replaying in my head.
Natasha POV
After Nick released Y/n's files to me I brought them straight over to Tony. We read the file together, it seems that Y/n is the heir to a throne on another Planet, one that we don't even know still exists. This girl is just full of surprises. Her birth parents left coordinates and details of the life on the Planet, S.H.I.E.L.D. haven't tried to make contact yet, they aren't sure it is the best use of resources, as it is thousands of light years away.
"It says in her file that most people can control one element, fewer can control two and so on" Tony said,
"Meaning?"
"Meaning fire might not be the only thing Y/n can control"
"Does it say what else they can do?"
"Her parents had the ability to control 2 elements each, her father with Fire and Air, her mother Earth and Water, she had two older brothers one with the ability to control metals, and the other also had fire powers"
"Why is Y/n the heir?"
"Her brothers are the warriors, the women on this planet seem to be the leaders, it says her mother was the ruler of Olympia"
"Sounds nice" I said, realising how different it must be on her planet, Tony smiled at me, but we were both interrupted by Wanda,
"What's going on"
*
After the message played, I felt Melina put her hand on my back, but it wasn't comforting, so I quickly got up and left. I just didn't know what to do, I didn't know how to get her back, and some part of me feels like this is my fault. That in some weird way if I wasn't in the picture she never would have been taken by that monster.
I had been walking but I didn't know where until I saw the water at the quarry. Obviously this is where I would go, I looked at the top of rocks where I had sat with her before, but before I could feel sorry for myself, I had to fix this.
*
Another week had passed and we were still no further than we were before the video, we tried to analyse the video, see if there was anything in it, on the walls to indicate where they are, but nothing. Fury hasn't been able to make contact with her home planet either. I decided to come back to the Compound more regularly, Melina had flown back to Russia to see if any of her contacts knew what might have happened, and I started staying over more gradually, which I could tell Yelena was happy about.
I was in the living room writing when Friday alerted us all to an emergency, so I ran into the conference room where we were told to go. Everyone kind of clumsily ran in behind me,
"You can all take your seats" Tony said before sitting on his own. I shared a look with Wanda, both of us uneasy about whatever was coming.
