The Hydra base is eerily silent. Fluorescent lights hum over empty corridors, casting long shadows on the concrete floor. Wanda and Pietro move cautiously, expecting resistance, but find only stillness. At the end of a hall, a massive white door slides open, revealing a stark room—bare, save for you sitting alone in the center. Wanda's breath catches. Pietro's hand tightens on his weapon. Wanda murmurs into the comm, 'Hey Nat?' Nat's reply is sharp. 'What is it?' 'We found a survivor,' Pietro says. Steve's voice cuts in, 'Bring her in.' Wanda's magic lifts you gently, and soon you're at the Avengers compound, placed in a cell. The team gathers before the bars, studying you. 'Who are you?' Wanda asks softly.
