She was just an experiment. Born to be a weapon. A weapon for HYDRA to use.
But HYDRA never got the chance to do so.
Because she was not alone.
They broke her to make her weak.
But they just made her stronger.
'Cause she was not alone. And never w...

Fire crews were hosing down the building, while paramedics were taking care of the injured. Since fire didn't affect Andrianna, she was fine, except for a few minor cuts. She looked around and saw T'Challa and Natasha conversing, but that was not what had her attention. Her eyes were fixed on the news.
"... More than 70 people have been injured. At least 12 are dead, including Wakanda's King T'Chaka. Officials have released a video of a suspect who they have identified as James Buchanan Barnes, the Winter Soldier. The infamous HYDRA agent, linked to numerous acts of terrorism and political assassinations." The news anchor said.
Andrianna closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes, she had a determined look on her face. Just then she noticed Sharon talking to a man in a green jumpsuit. Andrianna took out her phone, which was almost destroyed and kept it on the bench, she then walked towards Sharon.
Meanwhile Natasha had just finished talking to Steve. She was totally stressed out. But her main priority was to get Andrianna out of this mess. She went towards the area where she was, but Andrianna wasn't there. Natasha noticed her phone and knew what Andrianna was up to. She let out a curse at the thought of explaining all this to Tony.
Steve entered a coffee shop and approached Sam sitting at the counter of the shop.
" She tells you to stay out of it? Might have a point." Sam said wearing a cap and shades. Steve said, who was wearing a similar outfit, "He'd do it for me."
"1945, maybe. I just want to make sure we considered all our options. The people that shoot at you usually wind up shooting at me." Just as Sam completed his statement, Sharon arrived by Steve. "Tips have been pouring in since that footage went public. Everybody thinks the Winter soldier goes to their gym. Most of its noise. Except for this." She slides Steve a file, and continued, "My boss expects a briefing, pretty much now . . . so that's all the head start you're gonna get."
"Thank you." Steve said truly grateful for her help. Sharon gave him a genuine smile, then said "Two things you gotta know. First, you're gonna have to hurry. We have orders to shoot on sight. And... 6 O'clock." She left after saying this.
As soon as she left both, Steve and Sam turned to the direction she mentioned and found a smirking Andrianna. She was wearing a black pencil skirt with a beige coloured buttoned shirt. Her dress was covered in ash and dust, so she wore a black jacket to cover it. Sam was surprised to see her; however, Steve wasn't. He had a strange intuition that she would be here. And this further rose his suspicion, that Andrianna knew who Bucky was, before he met her. Steve gave her a nod, grabbed the file and the trio went on their own little mission.
══✿══╡°˖✧✿✧˖°╞══✿══
17 May 2016; Bucharest, Romania
In his dark blue, armoured suit with his shield on his arm Steve was in a small apartment. He was accompanied by Andrianna who was in a black suit, with red linings like Natasha's. They looked around, there were two mattresses with dishevelled covers and various bits of cheap looking furniture. The kitchen and bedroom were in the same room. As Steve continued to look around, Andrianna wanted to confirm her suspicions, she entered the bathroom, it was very small, but at least it didn't smell. She opened the small cabinet just below the washbasin and her suspicions came true. Two mattresses and a cabinet full of female stuff.
When the Avengers had rescued Andrianna from HYDRA, both her father and her mother were present there. She didn't have a clear memory of that day. She remembered how that bastard had controlled the Winter Soldier and compelled him to kill her mother. But she didn't know if Grace was alive, she had lost control and fainted soon after. But now she knew that they both had escaped, and if they had escaped then it meant that Grace truly possessed superpowers, but what exactly it was, she had no clue.
Andrianna came out of the bathroom and saw Steve reading a notebook. "What's this?" She asked walking towards him and looking at the contents. "He's been writing the bits and pieces of memories; I think he is trying to piece them together." Steve turned a page and was caught off-guard when he saw a picture of Andrianna. Andrianna's eyes widened.
Why would he have my photo. Is it... She thought and her eyes widened at the realisation. It was a newspaper cutting of her fighting with aliens in 2012. Being confused Steve looked at Andriana, but she didn't meet his gaze. This was not the time for her to tell her sad story. So, she turned the page to distract Steve from asking her about it.
The next page was shocking for both of them. It just had a name written in the centre with question marks surrounding, and at the bottom was written,
friend or foe?
It was her mother's name, Grace Marie Watson.
"Heads up, Cap. German Special Forces, approaching from the south." Sam's voice came through the earpiece. "Understood." Steve replied. Suddenly both of them felt a presence behind them. They slowly turned around and saw Bucky standing behind them.
"Do you know me?" Steve asked him in a strict tone. Bucky stares at him. He then looked at Andrianna and his gaze softened, he again looked at Steve and said, "You're Steve. I read about you in a museum."
"I know you're nervous. And you have plenty of reason to be. But you're lying."
" I wasn't in Vienna. I don't do that anymore." Bucky defended himself knowing well why Steve was here.
" Well, the people who think you did are coming here now. And they're not planning on taking you alive."
"That's smart. Good strategy." said Bucky.
" This doesn't have to end in a fight, Buck."
"It always ends in a fight." Andrianna tensed at Baucky's statement. She didn't want to fight him, but the situation was getting out of their hands. However, she silently stood there, not wanting to interfere between them.
"You pulled me from the river. Why?" Steve questioned.
" I don't know."
"Yes, you do." As soon as Steve said this, the door of the apartment opened, it just took a second for all three of them to take position, Bucky was ready to pounce on the person but he relaxed seeing them. Steve stiffened and Andriana had conjured a fireball in her right hand. A woman with dark brown hair entered. She looked at Bucky, but he was looking at Steve standing somewhat protectively in front of the woman.
Grace followed his line of sight and was shocked to see Captain America in the kitchen. But then she moved her eyes to the girl standing beside him and her hazel green eyes met Andrianna's light blue one's. Both of their eyes held intense emotions, but they controlled it, well.
"Who are you?" Steve questioned in the same tone he used for Bucky, the first time. Grace opened her mouth to reply, but Andrianna beat her to it, "My mother."
