Crimson Ballerina

"I'll start from the beginning."

Steve's Point of View
Tony's voice came through the coms device in his ear and he looked at Wanda as they both heard. "Code red. I repeat code red. In 47 a." That meant they found Baylor but she was not her normal self. They ran into the hall and looked back one room. There it was, 47 a on a plaque next to a door.

They ran inside and Steve pulled out a syringe from his pack and ran over to Baylor "Sorry little one," he said before injecting her with the sedation liquid.

She fell limp into his arms just as everyone else from the floors above came running in, Bucky in the lead. He picked her up just like he used to when she was little and carried the now much bigger girl outside.

Bucky's Point of View
He ran inside the room and picked up a limp Baylor and carried her like she was a little girl again. Although she was much taller now, he realized she felt almost the same weight as when she was about eight or nine. That couldn't possibly be good.

He ran over to Bruce. "I think she's malnourished or something. She's so light and she looks really thin now that I look at her again."

Bruce looks at her as they quickly walk back to the jet. "She is definitely malnourished. I can save her but we have to get back to the compound fast."

They got on the jet and flew back to the compound. When they got there, Bruce got her hooked up to a bunch of things and put her into a medically induced coma until she wasn't so malnourished and would be able to eat a meal without her body rejecting it.

After a week, Bruce asked Wanda to try and go into Baylor's brain and show her the old memories from before HYDRA and take out the brainwashing ones so that she could hopefully not turn into a crazy assassin when she woke up.

Bucky agreed because they of course wouldn't do it without his consent and he asked Bruce if he could remove all memories of Hydra from her brain but Bruce said they are too big and there are too many for Wanda to do that. He was very upset at this. He knew what it was like living with those memories. He didn't want her to have to go through that.

Wanda did the procedure and Bruce took out the IV containing the coma medicine and told Bucky she should wake up in the morning. For now they were going to bed and leaving Steve and Bucky with her in case she woke up earlier and still thought she was the Crimson Ballerina.

Baylor's Point of View
She woke up in a soft bed to the sound of a heart rate monitor slowly beeping. She looked around and saw Bucky holding his head in his hands.

"Dad?" Her voice was so hoarse it was more of a croak then something being spoken.

Bucky looked up and his face flooded with happiness. She had never called him dad before. It had always just remained Bucky. But just then, her head was in the most excruciating pain. She grabbed it and screamed as Bucky and Steve looked at her not knowing what to do. Just then Bruce and Wanda came hurrying in.

"We thought this might happen," said Bruce.

"What have you done to my daughter?" He demanded.

"It's just her remembering. If I make it stop, I make her stop remembering," Wanda said looking at Bucky.

Just then the pain ceased and Baylor was left without even a headache. She stopped screaming and looked around. Everyone else came running in as she started crying and Bucky ran over, hugging his daughter.

They started to disperse and the only people left in the room were Nat, Bruce, Bucky, Baylor, and Steve. Steve and Nat were walking out when Nat heard the girls breaths get shorter and faster, the heart monitor was beeping very quickly. She turned around and ran over to Baylor who had sat up and was now falling on to the floor. She reached her when the girl reached the ground and leaned against the bed.
