Melissa nodded a bit. "What happened?" she asked. "Why'd your phone get cut off? And how come... Bruce was taking your blood again?"

Steve frowned. "They don't know why but all the electronics got shut down." He murmured. "Something is blocking the signal. I'd reckon its the time machine, or Skull is pulling something." He glanced back to Banner. "And Banner just wanted to make sure I was doing okay I guess."

Melissa glanced to Bruce and slowly nodded. "Okay," she said quietly. She licked her lips. "When are you supposed to talk to the Red Skull?"

"I'm going to delay it." Steve said as Fury walked in. "I don't think its a good idea."
"He wanted you." Fury said carefully. "He knows what we want to know, and he said he'd tell us everything if he spoke a word with you."
"It'll be more than a word, Fury." Steve corrected.

Melissa frowned a little, looking between them. "I could... come with you, Steve," she offered quietly, glancing briefly to Fury. "I can try to keep everything calm and all..."

Steve frowned. " I can't let you do that Missy, it's too much of a risk. He knows his words...he gets what he wants."

Melissa frowned a little. "But if it could help..." she said quietly.

"Missy is right Steve. It could be worth a shot." Fury said. Steve shook his head and looked to her. "He's not human, Missy..." He warned her softly.

Melissa slowly nodded. "I know," she said quietly. "I can handle it Steve... Really..."

Steve shifted a little and frowned. "I really..." he looked to them both. "Okay...but only for a small period of time."

Melissa nodded, fine with that compromise. "Okay," she said softly, smiling at him a little, trying to be reassuring. "For just a little while then."

Steve swallowed and shook hsi head. 'For the record, this is a very bad idea in general." He added again before Fury gestured to the door. "I'll lead you to the cell."

Melissa nodded and quietly followed him out of the room. "Don't be too worried, okay?" she asked softly.

Steve shook his head and walked to the cell with Fury. He slipped on a brave face and confronted the man he thought to be dead. The Red Skull was a monstrous fellow, and he grinned devilishly. "Well well well....If it isn't the Captain..." He stood slowly, straight, composed. He was wearing normal clothing that they had given him, but Steve could almost see the uniform he once wore.

Melissa hung back, just by the door, but focused carefully, subtly blanketing the room in a calm.
