PAnd hurry. Say 'code 300'." Peter started to signal my dad as I put my attention back on Bucky. '

B: "Please Ella. Don't make me take you by force"

Ella: "Bucky...You've changed," I had to stall time to give my dad time to get here. And I know just the right buttons to press. "You never use to talk this much. Your going soft"

B: "Your lucky your the prize girl Ella. He doesn't want you to hurt. But I can still have my fun"

Ella: "Oh Bucky, you have no idea who your messing with. I'm not the same weak ten year old I use to be." I attack him. Using my powers, I push powerful beams of light out of my hands, right at Bucky. Bucky dodged all but one. The one that hit him caused him to fall backwards onto the ground. He immediately got back up.

B: "You got stronger, Impressive"

Ella: "You got weaker. How disappointing." Bucky started to run at me but I jumped into the air and flew many feet above Bucky. He looked surprised. Which wasn't surprising to me because he's never seen me fly. Once I was high enough in the air, I dropped down on top of him with as much force as I could make. My feet him right on the forehead causing him to tumble and fall. Once I was balanced again I looked at Bucky to see him lying on the ground. Clearly in pain. He tried to get up but every attempt he did, failed. He finally gave up and stayed on the ground. From what I remember about our time together in Hydra, he never lost one fight. So I could tell he wouldn't take this lightly.

B: "How the hell did you do that? You couldn't do that when we fought"

Ella: "That's not really your problem. Now is it Barnes." I know Bucky was mad about losing to a kid he use to fight but I could tell he wasn't at me. I didn't do anything wrong. And I knew he knew that. After a few moments of awkward silence, My dad and a few other people finally came. My dad looked worried but that worry faded when he saw Bucky on the floor. He landed and walked over to me.

T: "Are you okay?"

Ella: "I'm fine. You should have seen it. I kicked his ass." Peter who stayed out of the way the whole time came out of a bush near by. My dad looked at him and signed.

T: "Are you okay kid?"

P: "Yes Mr. Stark. I'm fine," Peter turned to me. "I'm sorry I hid. He just scared me"

Ella: "It's fine Peter. It was my fight to fight. I would have stopped you anyway." As I finished, Tony walked over to Bucky and picked him up. Bucky not doing anything.

T: "Your lucky my kid fought you. If I fought you, You wouldn't be breathing." Just then my dad hit Bucky so hard on the head that it knocked him out.

Ella: "Dad!"

T: "What?"

Ella: "Be gentle"

T: "One, he just tried to kidnap you, and two, he cant know where the compound it"

Ella: "Alright, fair point, but just be gentle from now on. Okay?"

T: "Fine." I nodded at him as a thank you as Tony started to fly up into the air and head back to the compound. Leaving Peter and I alone. As I watched Tony go out of sight, I felt a strong wave take over my body. I fell on the ground finding it harder and harder to breath. My heart race wouldn't slow down and my body was shaking. I tried to call out to Peter but no words would form. Luckily Peter finally noticed I wasn't beside him and came back to me. But was unsure on what to do. 

P: "Oh my go--Are you Okay? What can I do?." Again, not words would form. I couldn't tell him I need the bouncy ball I usually  fidget with. All I could do was point. I pointed to the ground where I must have dropped the ball and Peter went and grabbed it. He handed it to me and I started to fidget with it. About ten minutes went by when I started to calm down. At this point I was sitting with my back up to a tree. Peter didn't leave my side at any point. He wanted to make sure I was okay.

P: "I'm going to help you up now." He tried to help me up but I didn't comply.

Ella: "I just need another minute Pete"

P:"Alright, sure." Another three minutes went by when I was finally ready to get up. Peter saw I was ready and helped me up. We then slowly started to walk back to the compound.

P:"Are you okay?"

Ella: "Yeah I'm fine now. I just don't know how they found me"

P: "Them?"

Ella: "Hydra"

P: "Oh. So he was part of Hydra"

Ella: "Yes. And I drove myself to a panic attack"

P: "Does that happen often?"

Ella: "Peter. No offence, but I just want to go home and not think about this anymore"

P: "Okay." We both headed back to the compound in silence. During this time, I had a lot of time to think. Although I dealt with Bucky, I was still scared. He somehow found me. And if he found me, my ex boss now know where I am. Am I still safe? And before I knew it, I was back at the compound.

Ella: "I'm sorry about tonight Peter"

P: "It's alright"

Ella: "I guess I'll say good night"

P: "Good night." I hugged him and went straight to my room. In wasn't tired but I felt emotionally exhausted. When I got to my room I saw that there was someone on my bed.

S: "Hey fighter"

Ella: "Steve? What are you doing here?"

S: "I heard about Bucky and wanted to check on you"

Ella: "Don't you wanna go see him? You guys are friends right"

S: "Yes we are friends, but right now I'm focused on you." I had to think about that for a second. What does he mean by 'I'm focused on you?'

S: "Well since I know your okay and you don't need anything, I should get going." Steve got up and headed to the door. In that moment I don't know what got into me but I basically ran after Steve and grabbed his arm. He turned back around to face me, but I didn't know what to do know.

Ella: "Umm...don't go. Please." Steve just stared in my eyes.  Not saying anything. "I-I want you to stay." Steve tilted his head and smiled at my comment.

S: "And do what?." I really didn't have an answer till I remembered what Loki said earlier.

Ella: "Well, I can thing of a few things." Steve took a few steps closer to me. Basically touching my arm.

S: "Are you sure you wanna do this?"

Ella: "...Yes." Steve smirked and went to go and lock my door. Once he locked my door he slowly walked toward me. I started to take small steps backwards but Steve caught up to me and grabbed my waist. He slowly led us back to my bed and gently placed me on my back. Looking at my eyes, not losing eye contact.
