[Ava smiles at the jab at Fury and almost laughs, but then her lips thin and she quiets for a moment, sighing.] It wasn't good. At least not for me. Could have been worse, but they weren't good people. When they brought me to the States, they made sure I fulfilled my obligation of having a burger and a milkshake and a baseball game.
[She shrugs her shoulders, her smile's a little lopsided, but it's brittle and humorless.] And then I never so much as saw the sun for the next five years. Lived mostly on military rations and that sort of thing-- so comparatively, the Academy cafeteria was almost not that bad. A lot of books but not big on people: how to speak English, History, Science, American Government, World Politics, dossiers on the founding of SHIELD- Peggy Carter, Howard Stark. My only real link to the outside world was a broken TV that only played C-SPAN. First time I saw you was some talking points you gave on Future Military Innovation back in... 2007?
[Just normal teenager things, right?]
So, I did the obvious thing: stole a bunch of their tech, used it to break out, and ran. Don't recommend it if you can avoid it.
