We're all sitting at breakfast now, it's been one hell of two days for all of us. But the thought of Arya being downstairs is not a calming one, she does have the ability to get people to do what she wants.

"Who's the extra plate for?" Peter asks, pointing towards the plate that is on your place by the table.

"I thought everyone that was gonna come was here" Steve says, looking over to the chair. It should be three places that are empty since Sam went home earlier this morning and Clint going home the same day he came. Leaving me, Steve, Maria, Peter, Pepper, Tony, Wanda and Natasha at the Manor.

"So did i, who are we missing?" Wanda asks even though her eyes say she knows. A few laughs can be heard from the stairs down to the foyer. First it's Tony and Pepper who appear with a smile on their lips. It was a long time since i saw that, i see the same surprise in Wanda's eyes. But Peter's eyes are glued to the person that walks in next to Natasha. When your eyes meet mine i finally put it all together, how didn't i see it earlier?

"Arya?" i more ask than just say as she comes around to your place. I don't know what to believe but it somehow makes sense, i mean about how she's still alive and everything. The thing that doesn't add up now is why did they let you get caught by us if they knew, if not only to play with us.

"Hi Bucky" you answer and i can see Maria just being in shock from the other side of the table, the opposite of you. Natasha can see the shock and confusion on her so she takes to word.

"Her memory isn't intact so she doesn't remember anything, just the things that are public information, but it's her, it's y/n" Natasha sits down next to you while Tony and Pepper sit down in their own seats.

"How can you be sure?" Steve asks as they all are staring, still in shock.

"Because i know her, she's my best friend" she answers but he just looks at her. "And because of a certain tattoo that isn't public information on a special place"

"You mean the Lotus tattoo?" i ask as i know exactly what she's talking about so she nods. You look at me like you're questioning everything, especially how i now that. Since the memory you have of me are not the same as the ones i have of you. "It's a tattoo on her hip bone she got after her and Maria broke up the first time"

"Yeah, i remember that tattoo"

"Damn i had good taste" we all hear you say it even though i don't think it was meant for us to hear.

"Well, let's just eat and we can all have the chance to talk later" Tony says and we all just listen to him. But as we all look down to our food i see a sparkling in the corner of my eye and everything makes sense. Y/n is back and everything can go back to normal.

This is almost too easy, or maybe i'm just that good. I've managed to get them all under my control in a matter of hours. Now the only problem i can have is that these people have a more serious relationship with Y/n then i first thought. Just makes the heartbreak for these people even worse, just my kind of mission. I smile to myself as i continue to look through the dresser. The laptop on the desk plings and a message appears, and as i read it i have a smile on my lips.

Check the loose floorboard, left upper corner of the bed.

"Thanks bro" i say to myself as i erase the message, force of habit. But at least for once my brother is helping me instead of ruining my missions. Lets just hope he has the sense to not send any messages anymore. But i make myself to the upper left side of the bed, and he wasn't wrong. In between the nightstand and the bed is a loose floorboard. I lift it up to reveal a button, so i press it and the wall starts to open up to reveal a small room with bookshelves, an armchair with a smaller table.

"Secret room, i like her even more now" i say as i inspect the opening to make sure i won't get locked in, there's a handle on the inside to open with. I walk in to look at all the books, some of them just historical books, some about genetics and science stuff, romance novels and thrillers. But there is one part of the shelf that caughts my attention even more is the part that's empty. The shelf that has at least dussin diaries in them, but there is a stop in the middle of it. Half is empty, probably because she died before she could fill them all. I take out the most recent as they are marked with dates, '13 of december 2016 to' and then there's blank. It's almost like her life was sad to have ended, why would it have. What was so special about Y/n Carter to make people care so much. I mean, i know she was a so-called superhero but from what i've learned they miss her personally. So what made her so special. I open to the last entry and start to read in the too comfortable armchair.

Dear diary
I think i've made a huge mistake, i mean i don't see it as a mistake but i think it was. In the middle of the night i went into Tasha's room because i couldn't sleep without someone beside me, it's also been ten days since i kicked Maria out of my room. But i always felt there was something else keeping me back from my relationship with her, maybe i was in it just because it was safe and nice. But now i see what the problem was, i've always been madly in love with Natasha Romanoff and i don't think i'll ever stop. I sleeped with her and she thought i was using her as a rebound but i told her i could never do that to her. But tomorrow i'm going on a mission that'll help me clear my head as i'm going alone with the others waiting as backup. Wish me luck
xoxo Y/n Carter

I almost pity her, how hard it is to have so many people to choose who to love. Such a spoiled brat in my opinion, so self centered. How could she have fooled them all? Now i see why it's been so easy, they were already blinded by her.
