✔️She Lives

"Stark!" Natasha said, running out of the meeting room to go find Tony. Both Steve and Amanda followed behind her, wanting to hear the reaction themselves as well. "Stark your gonna want to hear this."

Tony turned around and looked at the trio confused. "What? Did she try to kill you already?" He asked.

Natasha whacked his arm and continued to grab it as she dragged him to the meeting room where the footage was paused and showing the scarlet witch silhouette. "Look." She said. "That's the person that Amanda has to find.. but the person is the same as my mission."

"I see that." Tony said, staring at the paused video. "Wait, are they two different people?"

Amanda shrugged. "I don't know.. I have no idea who the scarlet witch even is. All I do know is that I need whoever it is so you guys can remember me." She said, putting her jacket on and beginning towards the door.

Steve looked at his so called daughter confused. "And where are you going?" He asked, "it's dark out, it's not very safe out there right now."

"I've got a mission to take care of." Amanda said, "sorry for this."

Before any of them could argue back to her, she created the illusion that she was still there so they wouldn't come after her and try to stop her. There was no more waiting, she wanted her life back.

Getting to the hydra base where the so called scarlet witch was being held in was rather easy for Amanda. The red head resorted to using her illusions to get herself an immediate flight to the location since it was way too far to walk.

"Excuse me miss, do you know where I can find Sokovia Bakery?" Amanda asked a woman on the street, knowing the base was hidden in the underground bunker beneath the small bakery.

The woman nodded. "About five miles west." She said, pointing in the western direction. "Has your mum requested baked goods? I hear they have the sweetest cupcakes."

Amanda hesitantly nodded. "Yeah, sure. Believe what you want lady." She said, beginning to walk off. "- and thank you!"

She could tell the woman didn't like the hint of attitude she was given, but Amanda could care less right now.. or ever.

When she arrived to the bakery some time later, she walked in alike a normal customer and completely froze. "You." She said, seeing the familiar man who attacked her not too long ago. "How did you get here so fast."

Rumlow smirked. "Hydra always has a way." He said, pulling out a gun and aiming at her. This gun was different though, it looked like the Ammunition was different. "I was going to come back one more time to try and bring you here.. but you just did my job for me."

Amanda groaned, trying to fool him with an illusion but seeing he wasn't even faded by it. "why isn't it-"

"Your powers don't work here. Not on this premises." He said, shooting the strange gun and hitting her with the needle that he fired. Whatever fluid was in the syringe quickly emptied out into her body. "And I already know your trick."

Before having the chance to give him a snarky remark, Amanda felt her body weaken and fall to the ground. Her vision began to darker as the looked around one more time. This is what her uncle Bucky must've felt like when he was taken by hydra.. weak.

Her body began to drag across the cold tiles to a back room, then dragged into the elevator to the underground bunker. "Your freedom ends now." Was the last thing she heard Rumlow say before everything went blank.

Meanwhile, there was a certain soldier who was roaming for his revenge. "The Winter Soldier" he was called while under the rule of hydra. James Buchanan Barnes was finally regaining his memory of the war and his life before hydra, remembering his best friend.

He knew that if hydra was still operating on the low, he needed to at least try to stop them. The last few years of his life before hydra was spent trying to defeat them, he knew the timeline had to continue.

Getting into the mysterious bakery, Bucky was surprised to see that no one was standing guard. Although, he did see that there was fresh drops of blood on the floor. He knew someone was here.

His head down and steps quiet, he snuck to the back where the secret elevator was. The premises was familiar to the man, having spent so much time in the base himself.

Being the winter soldier came with perks, very few perks. One of the more helpful ones right now was his ability to be extremely stealthy and unnoticeable when entering an area. He would've thought that having a noticeable metal arm would bring attention, but it didn't.

"Hey Rumlow, look at these results." One of the lab workers said to Rumlow in a nearby room, Bucky seeing a girl tightly strapped down to a metal operation table. "Her blood line.. it's.."

Rumlow stared at the results on the screen, not even noticing the former winter soldier standing just next to the doorway. "She's Steve Rogers daughter? And is that some Romanoff dna in her too?"

Bucky looked into the room shocked. How convenient for him to remember everything and also find the closest thing to his best friend that he could get right now. He knew Steve wanted a family, but he just didn't know who this "Romanoff" was.

The lab worker nodded. "She's a full super soldier too.."

Rumlow smirked. "Perfect. This is the perfect way to get the avengers here! we just have to bang her up a little bit to scare 'em." He said, turning around and walking over to a table of weapons that were in the room. "What should I go with first?"

Bucky didn't know what had gotten into him at that moment. He felt a pure rage, like he had to do whatever he could to protect his best friends daughter. "Don't touch her." He growled at Rumlow, revealing himself.

"Well, if it isn't the winter soldier." Rumlow said, "why should I not hurt her? You've killed many people in your life time soldier, what's one more to add?"

Bucky marched towards Rumlow, grabbing him by the throat and pinning him hardly to the wall. "Your right, what's one more to add." He said, tightening his grip around Rumlows throat.

He could tell Rumlow was loosing oxygen, his face turning a bright red as he tried to fight the metal arm away. "L-let g-go." He struggled to say.

But, Bucky could care less about Rumlow, holding him up there till his body went limp. He knew Rumlow wasn't exactly dead yet, but it's giving him enough time to grab the girl and go.

Bucky looked at the girls face before trying to untie the straps, seeing she had features similar to Steve's. He also couldn't help but notice the resemblance the girl had to the red headed girl on the avengers team as well, having seen her when he was the winter soldier. Natasha her name was.

"My god, kid." He said, getting the straps untied and running out of the bunker with Amanda in his arms. He could feel that the girl definitely did have some sort of muscle as he carried her, knowing that was probably Steve's doing so she wouldn't be fragile like he used to be. "Let's go."
