Winter Soldier's Sister

Part One

Her name is Angelica Yes, like the Cartoon. Her parents thought it was funny. She is 30, and an only child. She lives alone. Working for a Law Firm as a lowly Intern of all things. Lately, she has been getting headaches. Blank spaces in her memory. As another shift ends, Angelica makes her way to the subway. In the back of her mind, there is a feeling, like being followed. It could be just the stresses of the day, yet it lingers.

A man stands at one end of the subway. Keeping a clear sight of his surroundings a girl steps onto a subway car. "Target sighted.." he whispered. His gaze was now fixed on her. A voice comes through his earpiece. "Maintain distance, she doesn't even know you're alive Bucky." Cap's voice rings in his ear. 'I know..' He says to himself. 'Angel...' he smiles. It quickly fades as the girl seems to look his way. Remembering why he is there, he pushes back All the fond memories that have crept into his mind. "We don't know if the intel Fury gave us is correct. I don't trust that man.." Cap says. "Yeah, I never liked him either.." Buck replies. "If Angel is having headaches then seeing you would.." Cap starts but Bucky finishes. "...It will trigger her memories...and that would be bad." His gaze is now full of sorrow and pain.

"What did they do to you..."

Angelica is sitting on the subway, music is blaring. That's when she looked up from her phone. A man is staring. Frozen, her eyes widened, and her head pounds louder than ever before. For a moment her gaze is almost like a smirk. Something inside whispers and shows a face. Flashes of two people fill your head. 'Brother?' She shakes her head. 'What the hell...brother?' Scared Angelica looks toward the exit. 'What was that about!' Speaking to herself. 'Maybe too much unpaid overtime..' With a laugh, she shakes it off and takes it as a sign to stop being such a pushover. "I need to stop saying yes..." Though it doesn't explain the gaps In her memory.

'Crap..' Bucky lowered his hat and walked after her, but paused. "She saw me Steve...and she ran out." He whispered. "Follow her. You know what is at stake... Tony pushed our hand and now.." Cap started but Bucky knew. "Now Hydra knows too.." Without further talk, he pursued her.

Following a bit more at a distance this time. Hoping his gut feeling was wrong. Her eyes as she stared at him. For that brief moment, she recognized him, and not in a good way. He knew where she lived. This was a retrieval. With everything that happened, They decided today was the day. "Buck, Tony says that Hydra is close by.." 'Dammit...' he was right.

Her heartbeat quickens as she stands there unsure what happened. "Get it together Angelica.." Making her way home. The day has not been the best. she was waking up in the office covered in blood. Thankfully there is always a change of clothes. However, there was one thing That freaked her out. Blood. How did it end up on her clothes? Angelica didn't know herself. Thinking just made it worse. Maybe it was time to admit the blank days to her doctor. She didn't realize that the man was still following. Slowly making his way up to her. Sleep is all that matters. As she passed out she realized that maybe she was losing it. It scared her, deeply. 

Bucky sees her enter the building. "According to Fury, she lives alone. Apt 616." standing at the entrance he watched Angelica go in. "...what do I do...she recognized me." He says to Cap as he watches the numbers climb up. "That is not possible, you know this. Shuri even said so." Bucky just leans on the wall. "I know that I felt though. It was like a switch went off in her...a bad one." With hesitation, he feels like they shouldn't do this. "Bucky, hey this is the only way ...bring her in." Cap felt bad, it was he who should have been down there getting Angelica. Bucky enters the elevator and makes his way. Using a copied key he opens the door. Once in her room, he pauses. "Forgive me..." With regret he stands over her, needle in hand. He waits. She seemed to be having a nightmare as she tossed and turned. It made it hard to stick her with the needle.

That night Angelica dreamt about that man she saw. He is running towards her screaming her name. Behind him is someone who makes her heart pound wildly. "Watch out! Angelica behind you!" he shouts. It's too late. A man grabs her, making her bag drop. Struggling, her hands try to pry off his arms. Before she can do anything, there is a sharp needle sticking her. "Ahhhh! Bucky! Steve! Help ME!" Tears stream down her face as she's dragged away by men in uniforms. She hears mumbling as the world around her fades. One man flashes a sinister smile. In the distance, she saw her brother and Steve as she knew him then, holding him back. As she loses herself,  Angelica wonders, who is the man. Why do I know both of them? You can't wake up. The world is black.

Bucky stabs his sister with a needle. He holds her down. "....." Cap can be heard through the earpiece. "Is it done? They are only moments away Buck." Jolted back to reality, He picks her up. He runs to the balcony where a stealth helicopter is waiting for him. Cap grabs her. "I know It was hard, she'll forgive you." With a half smile, Bucky jumps in and they leave. Moments later men from Hydra show up. They look all over Angelica's Apartment. "Rogers.." he slams the bed. Cursing to himself he looks at his underlings. "MOVE OUT. FIND HER." He stays behind and makes a call "It's me....we were too late." The voice on the other line was furious. In a pissed-off tone they spoke. "Fine...I will take care of it myself.."
