Stella was in an old apartment where she was captured, that too it was opposite the tower. So, she decided to walk to the tower. As she entered the Tower, Bucky hugged her so tight that she winced because of her broken ribs and bones, and in seconds other Avengers rushed toward her and Bucky. 

" Are you okay, Lady Stella ?" Thor asked the little girl who was badly bruised and bleeding 

" Yeah, I have had much worse," She said with a small smile 

" How could you have been worse than this.  " Wanda asked 

" Believe me they know to do worse," Stella said simply

" Starfire you need medical attention," Tony said with his voice filled with concern 

" Come Stella, let's go to my lab. " Bruce said and Stella followed him to his lab 

Meanwhile with the Avengers 

" This is my fault, She was my responsibility," Bucky said as his hands covered his face.  

" Barnes, this is not your fault, it's Hydra's. " Loki said 

" Yeah, he is right bucky " Steve assured his best friend 

" I will agree with Steve and Loki. " Wanda said 

" That was nothing that they did to her, she's had worse, that is why she was able to survive that. We need to protect her cause we all see a bit of ourselves in her, we see what happened with us is happening to her and we need to stop it. " Natasha explained to everyone 

" I agree with Natasha, no kid should be treated like that, thinking that might happen to my kids makes me sick," Clint said and everybody concurred with him.

Meanwhile with Stella and Bruce 

Bruce checked and scanned Stella's body.

" You have 2 broken ribs and one hairline fracture in your right wrist and some sprains in your muscles and you healed quite well because of your powers.  " Bruce explained 

" Thanks, Bruce " Stella said with a considerate smile 

" Stella, you are strong and tough but it is okay to be soft and weak" Bruce explained 

" I know, but I keep running from myself, I know I can't run from something that is a part of myself. I can't run from my past. I am a monster, a killer, a murder ." Stella said with a very low and sad voice 

" No, Stella you are not a monster. I thought the same way as you did but when I got this , this family, this job, this life, everything changed, the same will happen with you but you need to let us help " Bruce explained softly 

Stella hugged Bruce and whispered "Thank you " loud enough for him to hear.
