"I'm hungry, should we eat something first?" We step out of the elevator and into the kitchen.

"You can eat, i've already eaten" i answer.

"I was wondering, what is it that you eat?"

"I don't think you wanna know that if you want to keep your appetite" i let out a laugh but worry is still the central thing i feel. "Now, what do you want? We've got pizza, beef or..."

"Pizza" he answer, cutting me off with a sheepish grin.

"Pizza it is" i take out the leftover pizza from yesterday. The dinner i missed. There is more over than i thought it'd be. Maybe some didn't eat. Maybe Nat didn't eat, but at least i made her eat breakfast.

"So, can our game start now"

"Shoot" i place the pizzas in the oven and feel that i'm hungry as well. Maybe i should eat some pizza and then drink some. Maybe i can have it on:

"How did you become like this?" but that's not the kind of question i thought i'd get.

"I was stupid enough to go after my brother and also got myself trapped by Hydra" he seems genuinely intrigued as he sits by the table and listens. "But when they were doing a check up to see if i was fit to be in the super soldier program with him, they found out i was pregnant"

"You were pregnant?"

"Did you miss the whole saving my granddaughter and great grandson fiasko yesterday?"

"Right, i forgot, please continue"

"When they realised that, they put me in a project called Lamia, which is latin for vampire. After about two years of testing they put me in a chamber and i died"

"You died? What happened next?"

"They had shipped me off and i woke up in a hospital morgue in Queens a few days later, they didn't know it had worked. So until they realised they had let out an unstoppable killer, i just lived ... or rather roamed the streets and kept hidden"

"Who was your first kill?" He actually seems pretty interested in my story. But i only tell him the things the others also know.

"The doctor who found me after i woke up, in the morgue"

"And when was your first killing spree?"

"When i found out my husband had died trying to find me and that Steve had gone into the ice"

"Who was your husband?"

"Sergeant first class Daniel Thomas Bennett, he was the most handsome man i had ever laid my eyes on"

"How did you meet?"

"I was a nurse, travelling around with Steve's tour. So he was just another wounded soldier i met, who i happen to fall in love with."

"How did he propose?"

"Same night he got orders that he had to leave. So for about three weeks i waited for him to come back. And he did"

"So you married him?"

"Yes, Steve was there instead of my brother so i wasn't really happy. But he showed up at the last minuet when i was supposed to do the father daughter dance. Since we didn't have parents, he did the dance with me"

"How cute, i can't see Bucky being like that"

"James... Bucky, he was different before the serum. He wasn't so serious, since i'm the oldest he didn't have to be. He could be more relaxed, chill"

"You're older than Bucky?"

"By twelve minutes"

"You're twins?"

"You've really missed a lot, how did you miss that? I've literally been here for a little over four months now"

"I guess we haven't really had the chance to hang out"

"Soon there won't be time to hang out" i mutter quietly under my breath, but he catches on to what i'm saying.

"Why not?"

"If i tell you, you have to promise to not tell the others or they'll freak"

"Wouldn't that be something you should tell the team?"

"Just promise me"

"I promise"

"When i went to find the baby, i met someone. Someone whose grandfather had a life debt to me. And he repaid that debt by giving me the baby, the whole thing was a trap to relieve that debt off his hands"

"And?" i take a deep breath, putting hope in that i can trust him.

"It was so that i couldn't use it when he kills me" he just looks confused at me. "He has the file on the Lamia project, which means he knows how to kill me. He started the clock." i show him my wrist, letting the illusion of it being fine go away. Revealing the burnt mark of a skull. Not a hydra skull, not a human skull... but a wolf skull.

"Does Natasha know?" i shake my head in a no,

"And she can't, you promised you wouldn't tell"

"But you really should tell them"

"I know, i know, just not now. We have so much to do that adding worrying about me to the list might be too much." There is a silence before he continues with his questions.

"How have you planned the future? Considering you don't age"

"We made a deal. She marries me... and i turn her"

"You're turning her? Into a vampire, like you?"

"It's her choice, i don't want to sentence her to his purgatory but it's what she wants, to spend eternity with me"

"And now you hope that your own sentence comes before you can do that?" i nod, knowing that it's the truth. I do hope that. Because that way she can still live a normal life with the others, and not an eternity without anyone.
