I woke up this morning and got ready to go workout. I changed into my t-shirt and shorts. I grabbed my socks and my shoes and put them on.

After I was ready I headed down to the gym. When I walked in to say I was shocked was an understatement. A knife surrounded by red magic was pointed right in the middle of my head.

I quickly grabbed it so it couldn't go anywhere else.

"Uhh Wanda?" I say. Before I say anything else she turns around and has tears rolling down her eyes and she comes running up to me and throws herself into my arms sobbing.

"Hey, hey. What's going on little red?" I ask softly.

"I'm scared of my powers Steve. I can't control them. I'm such a monster." She says crying more.

"You are not a monster Wanda. We can start practicing together and working on your powers okay? I'll help in any way that I can!" I tell her giving her a comforting squeeze.

"You'd really do that?" She asks.

"Of course I would! Come on, let's get started." I say walking us over into the middle of the gym. "Okay, what do you know already about your powers?" I ask.

"Well I can cause people to see anything I want them too. By the way I should apologize for that vision I made you see. That was so wrong of me and I am so sorry Steve" she says looking tearful again.

"It's okay Wanda. What else do you know?" I ask.

"I can read peoples minds but I try not to. Sometimes the thoughts are just so loud they come flooding in. Emotions mainly fear and angry run my abilities. I can make things levitate with my hands or move them with my mind. That is all I know so far." She finishes says.

"Alright, well I say the first thing we work on is the emotion piece of this. Once we get your emotions secure, you should have better control over them. So think of something or someone that grounds you. Constantly. Like no matter what could happen, they are there for you, calm you down, love you, anything." I tell her.

"That would probably be Pietro or maybe you." She says.

"Okay, so start using your powers, and when you feel like your emotions are getting out of control or you are getting nervous start thinking about a favorite moment with Pietro to help you gain control again. You run the powers Wanda, don't let them run you" I say softly stepping out of the way so she can practice.

We spent about an hour working on her powers, it started out rough but near the end she started getting more control over herself. She was smiling and her giggly self by the end of the training session.

"That was awesome! Did you see that?" She asks excitingly.

"I did! You did great you made such an improvement today. We can start doing this together daily or however you want so we can get you full control." I tell her.

"Sounds good. Umm Steve can I ask you something?" She says nervously.

"Of course" I say sitting back down next to her.

"Who exactly is Bucky? And why isn't he here with you? I promise I didn't read your mind just sometimes your thoughts are really loud." She states.

I chuckle "it's okay. Bucky has been my best friend since I was 8 and he was 9. I had been in love with him since I was 12 but never said anything because at that time it wasn't allowed. When he was 16 and I was 15 we had gotten into an argument and I ended up blurting out I was in love with him and that's why I hated going on double dates.  After that night it was just him and I. When the war came and I got recruited for the serum I was happy to be with him again but then I messed up by not catching him before he fell off the train. Fast forward 70 years later and here I am and found out he was alive and that hydra had him. He was the winter soldier but is now in a place where he is getting the help he deserves so we can live our lives how we want. Wanda when I tell you all of this, you cannot let anyone else know. I am being led to believe there is a mole within the team or left over SHEILD agents that is working for hydra. If they know about him they could come looking for a fight and try to get you and Pietro as well." I tell her.

"I understand Steve. If you ever need to talk about him please come to me. I would love to hear your stories together!" She says giving me a side hug.

"I will." I tell her as we make our way out of the gym.

I go shower and clean up. Once I finished I grab something to eat before going back into my room and looking through the journals I found.

When I started, I realized these are Bucky's.

"Dear diary,
Today is the day I go back to Steve. I am so scared he will not want me or he will turn me in. My memories coming back of him make me think he won't do that. But what if he doesn't love me anymore? Wish me luck."

"Dear diary, I blamed Steve. I yelled at him and blamed him for not catching me. And it's not his fault. As soon as I said those words, I knew I crushed his heart. I could see it in his eyes. Then he had to leave for a mission. I just hope he comes back to me. I need him more than I like to admit. I love him so much. Please just come home to me Stevie."

"Dear diary,
My gosh this man is gonna be the death of me. When he walks back inside from working out and his muscles are swelled and his shirts fit him just right. Uhg. And that ass. I could just bite it. Aside from the sexy man, he always showers then comes over and smothers me in love. My heart flutters every time he kisses me, holds me, whispers loving things in my ear, and protects me from everything. I am a total simp for him and I don't even care. I find myself watching his ever movement with giant heart eyes because I just swoon over and over again for him. Fuck I love you Steve."

I kept reading through these while crying and laughing at some others he wrote in here. I was getting ready to stop when one caught my eye.

"Dear Steve,
If you are reading this, then that means they either got me again, or something has come up to make us be apart. What I am about to tell you, you need to take very seriously. Please do not be mad at me for not telling you in person. For the longest time I wasn't sure if it was my memories getting jumbled up with hydra and my time before the soldier or what. Anyways, Steve, they have Rebecca. I only know that because I slightly remember them talking about having another Barnes in their possession. My memories started clearing up some more to know that Pierce wanted her to himself instead of listening to Queen Hydra so he hid her. But there is another thing...there is another asset Queen Hydra is after and that would be our daughter. I remember some scientists discussing how they somehow got your blood sample mixed it with mine, did some experimenting and put our mixed DNA in a woman to carry for another soldier. Please find her Steve. Her name is Gemma Odette. Please please bring her and Rebecca home okay? I am so sorry I didn't tell you doll. I just didn't know if it was real or not until it became a reoccurring thing. 
I love you so much doll"

I have a daughter?! Rebecca is possibly alive?! Shit.

"TONY!!"
