"...fireworks at eight pm tomorrow, we'll see you then. Now on another note, let's talk about the mystery murderer that has managed to keep himself under the radar from everyone. It wasn't until last Friday that a BAU team connected the killings all over America and even parts of Europe and Asia. An informant has handed me the information that a profile has yet to be assigned for the killer. I guess they wanted to keep him under wrap since there seems to be no connections through the victims except for their killer" says a man on the radio as i've fallen back down on my bed.

"Maybe they don't want to spread panic David, as it seems that this killer has been around since world war two" a woman says and it sends my thoughts to Bucky. Since he had it similar but it took twenty years to break him. So either they started breaking this man after the first war or he was already compliant.

"Ooh, maybe we have an assassin on the streets again, like 2014 when Captain America and the black widow captured the winter soldier and turned him good"

"If that's the case then i hope our team of heroes will come back together for the first time since the funeral"

"Yeah, that turn of events really showed who was holding the gang together, but i have gotten the information that almost everyone of them has gathered at Stark mansion, probably to watch the firewo..." the radio turns off and i jerk up to see Peter standing by it.

"I thought you were coming tomorrow" i state as i fall back down.

"Well i heard you were here" he says and i look back up at him. "I missed you"

"I missed you too Peter" i say and he comes up to me so i can wrap my arms around him in a hug. I can feel how safe he feels in my arms as his breath is unsteady. So i take him out to look at his face.

"Oh, and Pepper said dinner's ready" he says with a sweet smile.

"Then let's go eat and maybe i can tell you all about my trip around Europe" i say and he gets an excited smile as we start to go out of my room and down to the others. Peter hadn't come too long after me, so i wasn't the youngest for long. And since we're the youngest we had to stick together. Then you took care of me and Tony of Peter. It was like a whole Once Upon A Time mix. God, my made me love that series. I should re-watch it. I mean, didn't they just start with season seven this summer? And since we've been too busy with other things i haven't finished season six either.

As we all sit at the dinner table, that Pepper finally made me come to.

"Have you heard about the silver assassin?" Wanda asks to break the silence. "The media named him, just heard about him on the radio"

"Yeah, i've heard something about that" i say as i take some of my wine. Wanda looks to Bucky and we all know what she wants to ask but he ignores her.

"Apparently he's been active since the second world war, so he's from your time" she continues and Steve looks up like he thought of something.

"I thought he was just a myth on the military ground, like a story to scare people into obedience" he says but her gaze is still on Bucky.

"Well he... is a she" Bucky corrects us and now all our eyes are on him.

"Care to elaborate since the media hopes that we will catch 'her' before she does anymore amage" i say and he just keeps eating like we're talking about sports.

"i heard about her at Hydra at first, then i got to train with her. But catching her is something that'll never happen"

"And why is that?" Natasha and Clint ask in each other's mouths.

"Because it took almost a hundred years to break her, a hundred years of torture to make her turn to theire side. She knows what she's doing"

"How can she have been tortured for a hundred years Bucky?" Steve asks and he finally looks up from his food. It looks like it's casual dinner talk to him, and even i know he doesn't like to talk about that time.

"She can travel through time, i don't know which time she was from but they exploited her powers and managed to make a temporal zone to torture her" he pauses as he takes a break and signs. "She protected me in there, took me under her wing. Made me better... no matter the cost for her, but never let something that could hurt me near"

"Sounds like a weakness for her, i mean if she still feels like that for you we can use it, to capture her" Natasha says and i'm still trying to wrap my mind around the whole time travel thing, which brings my thoughts back to the blueprints downstairs, and the text message.

"That's a good idea Nat, all we need to do is set up a trap" Steve says, continuing the conversation i don't want to continue. I can see that neither does Bucky, for whatever feelings this silver assassin has towards him they weren't totally unanswered. Nat, Steve, Bucky, Clint and Wanda continue to discuss what to do, while i for some reason still sit here and listen. Technically so does Bucky. Pepper had excused herself as well as Sam who was tired and Peter who had to get some homework done, i didn't even know they had homework over summer. Well it's the sixteenth of august, maybe schools started again, i honestly don't know.

Natashas phone signals a text, making everyone except for Steve and Clint jump. Wanda, me and Bucky all watch as she takes her phone up, letting out a relieved sign when she reads it.

"Who is it?" Wand asks with a nervous voice.

"It's just my sister" she says and the three of us gets visibly relaxed but now Clint looks at her. "Everything's fine, she was just sending a cute picture of Nathaniel in a onesie"

Steve and Clint just watch as the scene unfolds. I go between they're gazes as i do them.

'Natasha and i aren't the only ones to get texts from y/f/l, are we?' Wanda says in out heads and both me and Bucky shakes ours in a no.
