Thank you so much. Can he be ready in 10 minutes? [She calls Howard to let him know she'll be there soon when she gets into the car and when she arrives she's given a transparent show of how concerned they are about her followed by a briefing on the fact that she's walking around with a perfected super serum in her veins and that she doesn't have to worry about paying off the expenses from the lab as long as she's willing to let them "collect" the serum every now and then. How generous.
He doesn't talk numbers with her so she's not sure how much he'll have to extract to make up the amount she destroyed so she asks. "Nothing unreasonable," he replies, "you're only signed onto our payroll for the year anyway so I'm hoping we'll have rebuilt everything we lost and extracted the serum from you by then. If not, we'll just neutralize it whenever we're done."
Now she owes Howard Stark, a ruthless business man who has connections through the Avengers. A man who owns or is related to the owners of all of the major tech corporations in their universe. A man who has ties with the Hellfire club. A man who has made people disappear... This was a worse idea than prostitution] I don't understand, if my blood holds the super serum, why can't I access any of the superpowers besides healing?
["We're not sure yet, it looks like your cells are helping to transform the serum into something better than we originally planned. Maybe you can help us figure out why."] And this won't hurt me in the meantime? Can we make the antidote now just in case something unexpected happens? ["Sure, once we figure out what's happening, we can make you something. In the meantime, rest up. Your doctors will be in soon to explain everything to you more. Once you're clear, you can join us in the lab."]
Okay, thank you. [When he leaves she takes a deep breath and looks around the room for pain medications to help ease her withdrawal. He's fucking you over a voice says. He's trying to trap you. You don't need him. You don't need any of them.] Who are you? [She whispers. The voice lets out a shrill laugh then disappears]
