When Lucille 'Lucy' Opal Baker starts adjusting to a world without Captain America and more government therapy sessions...
As some of you know, I've been writing about Lucy's character for a very long time. Unfortunately, my brain is slowly getting disinterested in her character. Rest in peace Lucy, you will be remembered. But! I do have some back-up one-shots, and I'm super sorry for leaving y'all on cliff hangers with the other one-shots.
So, the next few parts will just be those.
Also, I'm writing a spin-off of Lucy and Henry's story, except it's between an already enhanced being named Skórfiá and a psychotic man named Dr. Bastian Beaumont who, quite literally could be Henry's twin. They're both crazy, emotionally constipated, and extremely complex.
Also, I'm writing a possible child-Bucky story? This is tentative and I don't know if I'll ever publish it. We'll see.
Anyway, happy reading and real big apologies to everyone!

Avengers Compound, New York November, 2016
LUCY MISSED MANY THINGS in her time with HYDRA, yet she'd never found an interest or desire to search for the experiences which flew past her. She was indifferent to it all, and she'd rather look towards the future than the past. She found it a blatant waste of time, analyzing the history which unveiled lies and tales HYDRA chose to spin. So Lucy had missed many things, and she had never chose to seek what these things consisted of.
But people changed just as time did, and with the overwhelming boredom threatening to drown her–well, Lucy was more than inclined to look through the past. She came to that particular conclusion hours after the Avengers went on a mission without her. HYDRA wanted her back, more than they did Winter, and whether or not James was jealous of the fact didn't matter.
They both avoided the complex emotions they held towards the people and organization which tormented them.
So James, in all his wonderful glory, assured her that he would be fine as long as she stayed here. He would rather be the one killing the HYDRA agents since he very much desired revenge against them. And, to Lucy's relief, he understood she did not want such things. She wanted time to use for herself, and for him.
