It was now two weeks later, Karli had been shot during a fight, Sam was claimed as Captain America now, everything seemed peaceful.The Sun was slowly setting as Sam and Bucky sat on the dock."So no sign of her?" Sam asked turning to Bucky asking about Kate, ever since that fight against Karli and her people, she just disappeared with no sight."Nope" Bucky shrugged "Have you checked her apartment?""Yeah I did, I just wanted to know if she is safe""You like her man?""I care about her," Bucky said after a pause."You can admit that you like her""yeah not with you," Bucky said scrunching his nose as Sam rolled his eyes and they went silent."you should talk to Rhodey""Why?""He has the files, they technically should be under government name, but Stark made sure they were more private""What files?""Kate's""Why would I do that?""Maybe you'll find something""I don't think I have the rights to do that""Steve left you the rights" Sam cut him off as Bucky just looked at him while Sam pulled a small piece of paper from his jean pocket and handed it to Bucky. "If you decide to, you should call him"Bucky now sitting on the floor of his apartment with the laptop in his lap, looking through the flash drive that Rhodey had given him.*The file*Katherina VerscaDocument Citizenship: Russia, United StatesPlace Of Birth: UnknownRace: CaucasianGender: FemaleDental: NoneTitle: Under observationHeight: 5'3Weight: 129 LBSHair: Dirty BlondeEyes: BlueLanguages: Russian, Spanish, Italian, English, Romanian Identifiable marking: Scar on the right wrist from the knife, scar on the left hip.Family: UnknownEducation: Uknown Current Employment: Training for shield agentAlias: Katia Mission Qualifications: Highly qualified in multiple fighting styles, the source is unknown, Power of fire manipulation, fire production, mind manipulation, psychosis, telekinesis, shapeshifting? power absorption?

YOU CARED FOR BUCKY TOO! YOU BLAME YOURSELF FOR EVERYONE'S DEATH, STOP IT!" Steve yelled as Kate just looked at him before tears started pouring down her cheeks and she dropped to the floor.Steve hit the open button running into the cell and hugging her as she let out a cry, tears staining his shirt.*end of video*As Bucky closed the video and shut off his computer he sat back on his couch, without thinking he got his keys and got in the car.After multiple hours of driving, he arrived at the sight of the old Avengers compound, it was never rebuilt since the battle and nobody really even tried cleaning it up.
