Ava's POV
"WAKE UP!"
My eyes open and I say,"gotov podchinit'sya."
The doctor says,"Take down the Winter Soldier."
I get geared up and head out. I find my target coming out of a museum. He sees me and looks at me shocked.
He says,"Ava."
I pull out a gun and begin firing. He dodges me and gets the gun out of my hand. We go into a hand to hand combat battle and I pull out a knife and he fights me. He disarms me and I grab another knife and slice his side.
He cries out in pain and I wrap my hand around his throat. I bend him back and he drops to the ground sweeps my legs out from under me. He gets on top of me and I slam my head into his.
He says,"I don't want to fight you."
I say,"You're my mission."
He realizes what's happened and says,"No."
He stumbles back and says,"Ava. Ava. It's me. It's James."
I punch him in the face but he doesn't fight back. I keep punching him and he's bloody and on the steps.
He says,"Ava, please."
I don't know why but I freeze.
He says,"I love you, Ava."
I don't move and he looks in my eyes and says,"Mourning Star."
It's like I have awakened and I look around. I see James on the steps bloody and I go to him. I help him into a sitting position and he looks at me.
I say,"James."
He says,"Ava."
I say,"I did this."
He replies,"It's ok. Baby, it's ok."
I say,"I'm so sorry."
He says,"It's ok. Let's go."
I say,"Bucky."
He looks at me and smiles.
He says,"That's my name, Doll."
I smile and we head back to our apartment. Steve is there and I quickly get Bucky behind me. Steve turns and looks at us.
I say,"Steve, please. Let's us go."
Steve says,"I need to have a way to reach you."
I say,"You'll always find me."
Bucky heads to the bathroom and I walk over to Steve.
He says,"I want you to be safe. I can't protect you when I'm not near."
I say,"I don't know what to do. I want to stay near but Bucky needs me. And I need him."
Steve says,"Princess, you have to be careful. You two have so much to work through."
I say,"We've got nowhere to go. We can't stay here."
Steve says,"Then let's get you somewhere safe."
I say,"I'm tired. And so is Bucky. Just keep an eye on us while we sleep. When we awaken, we will go find our safe place."
Steve sighs and says,"Ok, Princess. Clint and I will watch."
Steve heads out and I walk into the bedroom. Bucky walks out of the bathroom and he's no longer bloody and we lay down. We fall asleep in each other's arms and I am so glad it's over, I hope.
