Evie was standing on the opposite side of the street, looking over to the mansion that was situated on the outskirts of Bucharest. There was a few lights on around the building, and knew that the Baron was home. He had no family, so there would be no civilian casualties to worry about.

Only his bodyguards.

That he kept in the dozens.

Tonight, however, he wasnt surrounded by them as much. Some of them had caught a stomach flu. She smiled as she thought about how she did that. Posing as a beautiful lost tourist, then flirting with them, taking them back to there place, and drugging them.

They wouldnt be remembering anything anytime soon.

By the time they woke, she would have completed her mission.

This mission was personal.

Her heart almost lurched as she remembered the day she received the phone call from her boss, telling her that her brother was killed in action.

Bobby was in the army, he worked with a special branch, who would go out on the missions that nobody ever talked about. Things that only special government agencies would know about.

Now that she thought about that, Shield technically was no longer a government agency.

It had taken Evie a few months to reach this point, knowing that this guy, the Baron would have the answers she needed. The answer to finding the man who had murdered her brother. She may have left a trail of destruction in her wake, but she never killed anyone.

Not yet!

A light went on in the top left of the building. Evie knew from the plans she had received from one of her friends back in New York, that this was the Barons master bedroom. She checked her watch, finding it was right on time, that he was getting ready for his bed.

She calmed her heart down a little more, knowing she would need to concentrate the moment she climbed the wall, and having her heart banging in her ears certainly wouldnt be a help to anyone.

Finally, the light flicked out. She watched the few people moving around downstairs where the large kitchen was, meaning that the bodyguards were all there, and would be talking it out on who was having what shift.

Evie walked over to the wall, then as easily as breathing, she jumped up, grabbed the top and pulled herself over, and quietly landed on the grass. Checking around in case she had missed a guard.

The coast was clear.

She silently walked quietly along the edge of the wall, glad for the trees that would be blocking her shadows, as she walked along the right side of the large yard.

"ai spus ca vrei maioneza sau mustar?" Someone asked in Romanian, as the kitchen door opened.

Evie froze herself behind the large fir tree, she never heard the response. But moments later, the door closed and the guard walked himself down the path and out the back gate. She then heard the car starting, and driving away.

She checked the area, finding they were sitting around the large kitchen unit, so she took another deep breath, and quickly headed to the side of the building, where she looked up at the balcony above her.

The wall was clear of any bushes, but the stone was an old style bricks, that meant she could hold on to the ones that jutted out. Before she knew it, she was at the top, climbing over the railing, onto the balcony that led to the master bedroom.

Evie looked through the side of the window, seeing that he was lying in his bed, and the lights were all out. There was nobody else in the room with him. Carefully she walked over to the French doors, pulled and found it open.

Relieved, because it was tricky to pick these locks.

The moment she was inside, she could smell his cologne. It was a wooded fragrance, not gentle on the nostrils. As she reached for her gun to aim at directly at the bed, movement to her left caused her to quickly turn around, where she found someone running towards her.

He was fast, knocking into her, knocking her to the ground. She quickly swiped his legs from him, hearing his large thud land on the floor at her feet. She scrambled around, getting up at the same time as he did.

The place was dark, she could barely make out who it was she was fighting.

Was this the Baron?

For someone in his fifties, he was agile.

Fast.

This couldnt be him, surely.

The man swung his fist, but she saw it coming, making her duck out its way, as she brought her own up, colliding it with his stomach. He stumbled a little, considering it was a full blow, he barely reacted. Evie swung another, but he caught her fist with his left hand, instantly making her realise who she was fighting.

Because she could feel the cold metal underneath the glove he was wearing.

Evie quickly brought her eyes up to his, they were wide, she knew they were.

Shield had sent the Winter Soldier after her.

Her head was screaming to stop fighting with him, because she knew there was no way she could win against him.

But instead, with her other hand, she quickly threw it, catching him off-guard, and making him let her go, as he fell backwards onto the bed.

He got up again, and they fought back and forth. Knocking things around the room, causing things to smash. Evie grabbed the lamp from the unit, crashing it down on the side of his head, making him stumble backwards towards the bedroom door. She quickly opened one of her little pockets on her catsuit, pulled out the little circular device and threw it towards his arm.

The electric sparks shot over it instantly, sending a wave over him, meaning that metal arm of his was rendered useless.

She knew that it wouldnt last, but it was enough to let her escape.

Evie ran for the window, and jumped over the balcony. She could hear his footsteps following, but he never jumped over, just watched as she ran over the grass, then over the wall to where she had left her bike on the other side of the street.
