"I heard you"
...
Soon you were making your way into a breakfast diner in disguise.
Your outfit was ridiculous! Nathan had quickly stopped by a thrift store and possibly threw you in the worse clothing combination known to human history. A long purple and green striped skirt fell to your ankles with a red sweater along your torso. To cover your eyes, Nathan had grabbed pink barbie sunglasses which looked like they were meant for a child.
Nathan placed his hand on the brown beanie that was on your head and spun it crooked, "Nice outfit". You rolled your eyes as he adjusted his black shades,"Nice sense of fashion. Don't act like I'm the one who chose these clothes"
"Can I take your order?" A waitress caught your attention and she looked at you strangely as you laughed awkwardly.
This is strange.. I haven't spoken to anyone else in days. It makes me anxious. Even a bit emotional.
You continued to stare at her, almost trying to signal a plea for help but Nathan cleared his throat, "We'll both take a number 3. A coffee for me, black, and she'll take a water"
The waitress nodded before collecting your menus and going to fetch your drinks. There weren't many people in the diner but a few old couples. Still, you were uncomfortable. You were a kidnapped person and no one knew but the kidnapper infront of you. Nathan noticed the uneasiness in your eyes.
"Calm down. Don't freak out over nothing alright? We'll eat and head straight there. Don't try anything funny" He flashed the gun in his waistband.
"Threatening my life so easily? Especially in public?" You felt the anger and frustration build inside, "And what about Namor? No way that gunshot killed him. Why didn't you just take him out there? He'll be after us in case you didn't know"
Glass clanking on the table startled you, "Here's your drinks. Anything else?"
"No thank you" Nathan smiled at the lady before looking back at you, "By all means why not thank me for once?"
"Thank you?!" You raised your voice but the TV behind the gingers head caught your attention.
A picture of you was on the screen. Your eyes widened seeing yourself on the missing persons list. It's such a weird feeling seeing yourself missing when you know where you are. Yet, the ones who care about you most cannot find you.
A frown found its way on your face but an idea popped in your head as you saw a number flash under your name. "Please contact 205-555-4091 if you have anything that can help us find her"
205-555-4091. Got it.
Nathan raised an eyebrow waiting for you to say more but the waitress came back with your food. You were starving but this was more important as you stood up alarming Nathan.
"I have to pee really bad" You pretended to be in urgent need and Nathan rolled his eyes, "Just hurry back"
...
You were in the bathroom pacing and waiting until a customer finally walked in. You asked the older woman if you can borrow her phone and she reluctantly agreed. She most likely thought you were some hobo judging from your clothes and pitied you. You dialed the number and it rang for a annoyingly long time until you heard the phone pick up to a familiar voice.
"Hello?"
Your eyes widened and your heartbeat picked up, "Baby?"
"Y/n? Y/N? Baby is that you?!"
Tears began to fill your eyes as you began to shiver with nervousness. The old woman looked very concerned but waited patiently. " You have to come get me. I've been kidnapped by two men and they've been fighting and treating me awful. I'm so scared. They're talking about selling me and I don't even know how long I've been missing and he made me break up with you.."
It all came pouring out along with the tears as you heard his soothing voice. The old lady must have been both confused and terrified.
"Sweetie slow down. Kidnapped? Sold? Where are you?"
"I don't know where I am!! We're at a diner and after we leave he's going to take me to be sold. I'm scared. He has a gun. I just want to be in your arms my love. What do I do?"
"I need to think. You've been missing for about a week or two. Can't you tell me where you are?"
You looked at the old lady hoping she would know the answer you were looking for. "Turnerville Georgia"
"Turnerville Georgia" you immediately repeated into the phone and your boyfriend went silent, "Hello?"
"I don't know how to help you. I don't even know where that is. I'll call the police and tell your parents. You're at a diner? Take a weapon. Please be safe. I love you. You need to go back to the kidnapper so he doesn't get suspicious. I'll do everything in my power to save you my love"
"I love you too. Goodbye" You unwillingly hung up the phone and gave it back to the woman. You went to the sink and began to clean yourself up the best you could.
To your surprise, the old woman tapped on your shoulder. You looked at her puzzled and she held out a hand to you. You did the same and she dropped a rosary in your palm.
"Please keep this for protection. Be safe"
...
You stuffed the food in your mouth trying to push down the feeling of hunger and sadness.
Nathan was already finished with his food and was watching you eat, "You sure were in the bathroom awhile"
