PHOENIX

1.

I stood in the market buying some fruit. I was packing up on food before I left for the next town. Most likely across the ocean again to bring any leads Hydra has on me to an end.

I went back to my apartment and started to pack my clothes and food. But that's when I sensed someone who didn't live here in the building.
I closed my eyes and focused on that person.

It wasn't just a person. It was a bunch of guards. Hydra guards.

"Damn it I knew I should've left sooner!" I whisper shout to myself.

I quickly grab my bag of clothes. And open up the window. I turn to look back to see the door get broken down, I quickly jump down before they could get a good look at me. Then I took off running.

I needed to get out of site before I flew off. I took off into the market as I saw some guards on the ground running after me.

I start to push past people as I heard them all yelling. My first thought was they were yelling at the guards following me. But the yelling was coming from in front of me.

I look up to see some man in wings fly past. Those goggles are weird.

But that's when it hit. There was another fight going on as well. Not just mine.
"Shit shit shit" I mumble as I keep running past people

"Move! Move!" I yell at everyone as I push past
I look behind me seeing the guards were farther behind. Good I can get out of here.

But of course because I wasn't watching where I was going I tripped over someone's foot.
"Mary mother of-" I start to mumble as I look up and see two people in the middle of a circle

Still on the ground I got a good look at them. It was Captain freaking America and....

Shit thats rumlow.

I quickly stand up and he looks over at me.
"Well I guess our little soldier can watch me go down just like she always wanted" he says and Captain America looks back at me, but just as he does rumlow brings out a bomb and pulls it clip, causing it to go off.

Without a second thought I covered him with my powers so the bomb wouldn't kill anyone else. I lift him up into the air. But what happened next I didn't expect, it's never happened to me. I lost control and sent him and the bomb into a building.

It exploded and I watch as the fire started to spread.
I stare in shock at what I just did.
"No no no no" I mumble and turn around when I hear the guards running up.
"Screw it" I mumble then take off into the air.

I fly as far as I could, tears folding down my eyes at what I just did. I just killed more innocent people, maybe even children. I promised myself never to like anything like that happened again, I promised. Yet I already broke it. And not only that, now everyone would know who I was. I mean captain freaking America saw my face. I sure as heck knew they would come after me now too.

After flying for who knows how long I decided here was good enough. I grabbed my mask out of my bag and put it on. Walking into an apartment building.

"Hi is there any apartments available?" I ask them
"Es tut mir leid, dass ich kein Englisch spreche"
(I'm sorry I don't speak English) the lady at the desk says in German
"Kein problem. Haben sie noch ferienwohnungen zur verfügung?" (No worries. Do you have any apartments available?) I ask her in German
"Ja, ich habe ein sübes und nur ein kombinationszimmer, das das bett, das badezimmer und die Küche in einem kleinen raum hat" (yes, I have a sweet and just a combination room, that has the bed bathroom and kitchen all in one small room) she tells me looking at her computer
"Wie viel kostet das Kleine?" (How much is the small one?) I ask her
"330 €" she answers
"Ich nehme es" (I'll take it) I nod

She gave me the keys and I went straight into the room. I took a shower and changed into my only clean clothes I had. I went down to the laundry and washed my other clothes. After it finished I went back into my room.

I pulled out my computer and looked at the news.
My face was plastered everywhere. And when I say everywhere I mean everywhere. Every news channel or article has my face as the front cover.

I shut my computer after I saw the damage of the building. Then I read some news about the avengers and there accords going on.
"Freedom my ass" I mumble closing my eyes

I told myself I was only going to stay a few days here before leaving. Gives me enough time to get things together but not enough time for Hydra to find me again.

That night I fell asleep wondering if I was ever going to live a life not on the run. Only answer I could come up with was no, I wouldn't. And that scared me.
