I felt an arm around my waist as I heard bullets go around. I was pulled down to the ground and after a few seconds things went silent.

"Is everyone okay?!" The lights came back on and Wanda rushed in with Sam. Kate giving me a hand after pulling me down.

"Mallory's hurt." Claire kneeled next to her apply pressure on the wound with her jacket.

"What the hell just happened?!" Bucky and Sam looked around confused. "It wasn't her..."

"What do you mean Alex. I looked into those eyes-wait...you think whoever captured Blaze sent a fake Blaze back to hack our systems?" I stood there confused. What did this mean? Blaze didn't come tell me she didn't want to be together anymore. It wasn't her. I still have hope that Blaze and I can reunite for those kitchen mornings and late night star watching. I can hope that we'll be back training and fighting together and I won't lose her again.

"That's exactly what I'm thinking." Alex nodded.

"So who was that then?" Claire looked at us confused. "Damn it I knew that was too easy." Mallory sighed as she winced.

"I fucking told you!" Kate shoved Alex away and stormed off. I saw Alex get pulled away by Octavia and looks were exchanged among the group. Something was off right now; it was severely, severely off.

"Something is going on around here..." Bucky looked at me with an uncertain look. "What's Barton doing here?"

"Who knew Nat better than Clint Barton?" Bucky suggested now using the knowledge that Blaze and Nat were close. If Clint Barton knew about me, then surely he really knew Blaze.

I still couldn't get over the fact that Alex and Octavia left together and Kate stormed off mad. How is it that she went with her ex and not her girlfriend? She should be comforting Kate in a time like this. Blaze was special to her too.

Apparently not special enough or surely she would have stayed with Blaze. Maybe I was wrong about the whole situation. What if Alex and Kate weren't the bad guys in the situation?

It intrigued me even more that Clint Barton was here now. Kate Bishop was trained by Clint. Maybe Alex and Kate split. That could be why Kate is so adamant about getting her back unharmed. She even got Clint here to help.

Fuck Kate Bishop is trying to steal her from me.

I knew that they had a really good relationship while it lasted. Truthfully without the death of their sister Alex and Kate probably would not have betrayed Blaze. The fact that Kate really cared about her scared me. It threatened me.

This whole situation had me thinking whether I made the right choice or maybe for once emotions and this unfamiliar sexual drive really drove me the wrong way.

"Deep in thought?" He couldn't stay away from me. Barnes came and stood beside me as I got some fresh air outside. I couldn't keep my mind of Blaze, but I couldn't keep him away either which really started to change things.

"I'm afraid. I have never been afraid of anything before in my life." I looked down at me feet and he hummed in reply.

"It's not fun. I understand." I looked over at his surprised and he smiled. The Winter Solider having emotion seemed like a foreign concept, but Bucky Barnes was no longer that man.

"You're extremely intimated by Kate Bishop." My neck practically snapped whilst hearing this leave his mouth. How did he know?

"I keep seeing you watch her."

"Stop watching me." I shook my head and he let out a light chuckle. "I'm supposed to be watching you. Yelena, after all of this blows over why don't you leave Blaze and Kate's version of the widows. I think there's better places for you to be."
