(Cassia POV)


It was hard to take the Captain down, but I finally made it. The sounds of alarms and red lights everywhere got me in a panic making me leave the cell quickly closing it behind me. I'll have to actually kill him later.

At least I won't have to worry about him for a bit.

Stark comes out of the room next to the cell with an Iron Man glove. I quickly dodge his beam and slam his head on the wall knocking him unconscious. I hope that leaves him with permanent damage after what he did to me. I make it down several halls hearing a voice point out my location every 100 feet. 

Fuck I'm being tracked.

I turn the corner and see a wall of floor length windows and a jet just outside it on a landing pad. I think those are the Quinjets they use so much, I would love to steal that baby, she is so sexy. "Come to mama my sleek black baby girl" I say as I pucker my lips and blow it a kiss. 

"Is that kiss for me?" I hear. A tall figure moves out from behind the bar in front of me. I can't see his face in the dark, I can only tell he has dark hair and what looks like a metal arm when the red flashing lights hit him.

FUCK FUCK FUCK. Winter Soldier.

If there was anyone I wanted to meet on different circumstances to kill, it would be him. But right now I am completely drained and doubt I can use my powers. Hand to hand with him and that arm is going to be rough. 

I see him flex his hands and roll his shoulders getting ready to attack me. I shift my stance and my weight. I have to dodge him as much as possible and run for that jet. "I don't kiss traitors". 

I guess that got him pissed, I heard him growl as he began to run to me. I dodge his punch to the right, grab his next punch, twist his arm and get hit in the stomach with his metal arm. Making me move back and away from him.

Fuck that hurts. 

I slide down and kick him on his knees toppling him a bit, I use this moment to wrap my legs around his neck and flip him back towards the hallway and away from the jet. I get up and wince as my side starts hurting more, shit he hits hard. 

I start sprinting in agony towards the landing pad when my hair gets pulled from behind. I scream in pain when I feel my hair ripping from my head. I was so close to that damn door. Winter Soldiers metal arm comes up under my arm, he grabs my throat and slams me backwards to the ground. I could hear the tiles under me crack and break from the drop. I'm pretty sure he cracked my skull too.

The alarm lights stop and the regular lights turn on. "Stay down, and no one will hurt you." I hear him say. The words echo in my head, I have heard it before. Someone said that to me before. In the same voice, but softer. What the fuck is going on? 

I look at him now, analyzing his face. For the first time I can see him. His blue eyes, angry and vengeful turning soft and confused. I guess he didn't see me well before too. His soft pink lips slightly opened in disbelief, tears filling his eyes. The scruff of a five o-clock shadow settling on his jaw and chin. 

"Cassia?" He almost whispers. That voice. I wince again in pain forcing me to take a deep breath in. That smell. Musk..and...oh god...Petrachor....


"Mommy Mommy, wake up mommy. Daddy wake up. Why won't you wake up?" Tears fall from my little eyes as I see my parents dead on the couch covered in blood. I heard footsteps from the basement. I go to check slowly walking down the stairs, scared but curious. "H-hello? Can you help me? My mommy..."
