One Hour...

Twenty three hours...

She spent twenty three hours in a small, isolated cell in SHIELD custody. At first, it felt like those four walls were closing in on her. But it was not the four walls, it was herself.

How many people did she drive away? How much chaos did she bring? All for what? Friendship? So that if she died, she would be mourned? It was all pathetic, and she had to own it. All of it.

No one caused her to end up here, but herself. She did this, she created the chaos, she created a stupid false persona to try and "fit in", and now she destroyed everything around her. All that was left was to try and pick up what little pieces she could and move on.

No longer did she speak nervously or come off as timid as when she first arrived. And no longer would she allow other inmates to "punish" her for her actions. She has been punished enough. Now it was time to defend herself. No one was ever going to lay a hand on her, again.

Twenty three hours would be spent reading or exercising in her cell when she was awake. It kept her from going insane like some of the other inmates, and allowed her to get some strength back. Granted, she could still fight without her powers and quite well. But she needed an edge, and becoming more muscular and stronger helped with that.

Soon enough, twenty three hours was up, and her cell door opened. One hour with the general population now started. One hour that she had to fight to survive, and show she was not going to just it anymore. Wiping the back of her hand over the scar on her face, Alisa walked out of her cell, more confident than when she first walked in.

The woman, whose birth name was Samantha but who hadn't used it since she was a teenager, was tall, built like one of the world's biggest female bodybuilders. A single streak of green in her hair suggested gamma-augmentation that even the power suppressant fields of the Vault could not undo. Her looked powerful, even without her superhuman abilities.

And she eyed Alisa with a critical look as she walked past. "Don't see what's so special about this one," she said to the woman standing next to her, a smaller black woman with a mohawk. "Doesn't look dangerous enough to be under lock and key."

"Looks like she breaks easy," the other said.

The big woman with the green stripe got in her way.

"So just what is so dangerous about you, tiny?"

Gamma-Stripe kept herself in Alisa's way, while Mohawk got behind her.

"You're the only one around here I ain't heard of before, and they treat you like some kind of time bomb. I wanna know why that is."

Gamma-Stripe got up first. Even stripped of her powers, she was built like a freight train. The pressure points had hurt, but she had mean on her side. Mohawk was slower, rubbing her shoulder.

"That," Gamma-Stripe said, "was a mistake."

While the big woman cried out in pain, Mohawk got behind Alisa, kicking her in the kidneys.

"Bring it, then!" Gamma-Stripe yelled, pounding a fist into Alisa's face.

There's two of them, and one of her. For every blow Alisa does land, there's another one coming from another direction.

Infirmary

Some time later, when Alisa awoke in the infirmary, a prim and proper looking blonde woman in a business suit, with hair tied in a severe bun, and angular glasses, would be waiting by her bedside.

"If this is the other side, Miss LeBeau," the woman said, "then someone surely has a sick sense of humor."

Her expression remained carefully neutral, almost mechanical in its lack of emotion.

"You would be surprised what a few well greased palms can accomplish," she said instead. "I am here to make you an offer."

"My employers believe you can be a very potent asset to them," she explained. "And have the resources to see you freed through legal channels. There are certain cyborg-discrimination arguments to be made."

She looked down over her glasses. "In exchange for freeing you, you would work for them, eventually transitioning into a paid role."

She tapped something into the phone she was carrying. "The wheels are now in motion. In less than twenty-four hours, you will be released and transported off-site for release processing. Following that, you will be picked up by one of our agents and taken to a secure location for further instructions."
