~Edited~

The next morning Bucky and I tell the others what had happened last night, well... specifically that we think I might have healed his wounds. Tony was the first to jump at the prospect that I might be able to heal others and got so excited he started to talk to Bruce before remembering that he wasn't here.

He tried to brush it off and decided to test this new ability out, without warning he grabbed a knife from the kitchen and cut his hand. It wasn't too deep but the shock of him doing this with no hesitation caused most of us to freak out.

"Chill, she should be able to heal this." Tony rolls his eyes and holds his hand out to me. I cringe my face before wiping his hand clean and gently grabbing ahold of it. I close my eyes and try to imagine the skin knitting back together. I peek one eye open to check to see if anything helped but nothing had changed.

Tony lets out a sigh, "You might have to bring out whatever emotion you were feeling when you healed metal arm over there. What were you doing when it happened?" He asks, clearly too entertained by the idea of me being able to heal to figure out what Bucky and I could have possibly been doing in the bedroom last night... Together.

It seems to take everyone a second to catch up and as I think back to how I was feeling during last night, and images flash across my mind, Wanda lets out a choked laugh. I feel my hands warm up and try to ignore the conversation starting around me.

"What?" Steve mumbles to Wanda, she doesn't reply but I hear him let out a long breath, "Ohh." I see Tony look back at him with a questioning look, "Fonduing." Steve whispers over to him causing Tony to look slightly uncomfortable and my face to heat up red.

"I'm glad my personal life is entertaining." I grumble out as I let go of Tony's hand and twist to glare at Wanda and Steve. "Anyways, I don't know how to actually heal people on a regular basis. Sor-" I got cut off as a huge yawn escapes my mouth and a creeping tiredness enters my body.

"Well I would have to disagree with you there, Mimic." Tony responds before showing off his now fully healed hand, barely a scar was visible. The group of us share a satisfied smile before I slump down onto a couch and end up falling asleep to the sound of the others talking.

That was the only thing that happened for the next two days, each of us slowly losing hope that we would be able to find HYDRA. We spent most of our time reading through the files on each infinity stone and trying to formulate possible reasons HYDRA would want the stones. At the end of the third day of nothing, FRIDAY finally informed us of a lead, two leads actually.

The first one was a file about an abandoned base in England that suddenly became active again. FRIDAY had been keeping a lookout at all the known bases for activity, the spike in people gave us reason to believe that they might have one of the stones in that base.

The second lead came to us almost at the same time. Facial recognition picked up a man on camera, one Alistair MacCaibe. He looked exactly the same as the last time I had seen him. Tony had us called into the living room to discuss a plan, he thought we should split up. Steve was less enthusiastic about the already shrinking group splitting up, but couldn't think of a better plan.

"We should separate the stones, Strange is in New York so Vision should go to England." I suggest. This seems to be agreed and Wanda immediately volunteers to go with him. Pietro joins them and both my siblings look at me, waiting for my answer. I slowly shake my head, "I have to confront him." I say, both of them knew what I meant and needed no more explanation.

So then it was settled, Wanda, Vision and Pietro would go to England with Nat while the rest of us would go to the other base. Steve had us all suit up and on the jets in less than five minutes, although I'm sure people would have rushed even if he didn't set a time limit.
