Re: Call: Sharon C/Steve R
[Deep breaths. Deep breaths. Just one more piece of information, and it was something she was still trying to process.]
I was there for three months, as their prisoner. They did things to me, Steve. Things to my mind, and things to my body. Things I can't even begin to explain, I didn't know what they wanted, or what they were trying to do. I had no idea what was actually at stake. I wanted to die there.
That was when I heard the Hydra doctors talking. [Deep breaths. Deep breaths. She just had to get through this bit.]
I was pregnant, Steve. And they were trying to see if it was [...] like you. And the Red Skull was trying to clone it, and planned to [it all sounded so fantastic, she knew it had to. Like it was just a crazy bad dream and she wanted it so badly to be] somehow use my child as some kind of fucked up vessel for his fucked up mind.
[she was getting angrier. She hadn't said it out loud, not even to herself. Not to anyone. And it infuriated her. It wasn't a plan, it wasn't something she and Steve ever thought about doing - having kids - it seemed out of the realm of possibility given the lives they lived and the wars they fought. But it certainly hadn't been any kind of thing she'd ever wanted the god damned Red Skull involved in.]
I knew I had to get out of there, I had to make myself useless. I had to escape, I couldn't let it happen. I couldn't. I knew they'd try and take me alive. I knew they would succeed, Steve. So...[pause and pause and pause] when they tried to stop me I [...] took what they wanted away from them.
