Natasha's P.O.V

"Where we gonin'?" Birana asked as we walked down the hallway to the bathroom.

"To get you a bath and in a new set of jammies." I said walking into the bath room and turning on the hot water. "Ok take off your clothes and put them here." I said pointing to a corner in the room. She quickly stripped off her dirty clothes and put them there. The first thing I noticed was how skinny she was. You could literally out line her bones. The second thing was a huge scar on her stomach and a smaller one on her back and the worst thing was the huge briues on her legs, they looked fresh. 'Mabey that's why she can't stand up right.'. She caught me staring and looked down.

"I-i'm sorry." I stammered. "Its otay." She said. "I think the waters ready." I said trying to change the subject. "Otay!" She said happier. She stepped in and relaxed. "I like hot water." She smiled.

"Oh really?" I said getting a towel and getting it nice and soapy.

"Ya. Da hot water is betta than da cold one." She said lifting her arms up so I could wash under them. She giggled when I was washing her underarms.  As I countiued to wash her up, I learnt more about her. She told me how she liked it when it was sunny,but hated cold weather, when her birthday was, stuff like that.

I put some of Tony's samboo on my hands and rubbed them together 'till they were soapy. I started washing her hair. Not gunna lie, that little girl had some thick hair. After I got all the soap out and rinced off her body, I told her to step out.

"Be careful, its slippery." I warned her. She tryed to step out, but fell in the water. "Here I'll help you." I gently picked her up and sat her on a nereby towel. "Pull up on the tub, and I'll wrap a towel around you." She did as told. I quickly wrapped a towel around her as she fell frontwards.

Drying off took some time, but we finally did it. I rapped a towel around her. "Ok, we gotta find you some-" before I could stop her, she army-crawled herself out the bathroom.

"Daddy! Daddy! I clean now!" She screamed looking for Bucky. "DADDY!! She screamed loudly. Bucky came running around the corner followed by Tony and Steve.

"What? What happened to my little girl?" He said picking her up. "I clean now!" She said excitedly. After hearing this Bucky went out of 'dad mode'. "Ah. That's why you smell so good." He said sniffing her hair.

"Yep. Now if you'll excuse us, I need to find her something to ware." I said taking her back in my arms. Once we got to my room I sat her on my bed and looked through my drawers to find something, just for tonight. I found a white tee shirt that was too small on me but a dress on her. "Here, how about this?" I asked her. "I like dat." She said reaching for it. I quickly took the towel off around her and slipped on the shirt.

"Yep, too big." She said. "But I still like it, tank you." She said cutely. "No problem." I replied. Shes just really too sweet. I dryed her hair off some more and picked her back up. "Let's go show the guys." I said.

"Yes." She yawned laying her head on my shoulder. We walked out of my room and into the living room area. "Here she is." I said giving her to Bucky. "Hmm.." She hummed falling to sleep. "Were is she gunna sleep?" Bucky asked. "In the room down the hall." Tony said.

Bucky's P.O.V

I carried a sleeping Briana to an extra room down the hall followed by the avengers. I opened the door to one of the huge rooms that were used for nothing. I layed her in the huge bed and pulled the covers over her and kissed her forehead. "Goodnight princess." I said as I turned off the light and shut the door.

"Uh, you guys." Natasha said looking worried.

"What?" We all said at almost the same time.

"When I was giving Briana her bath, I noticed somethings. She's extremely skinny, and on her stomach she has this huge scar and one on her back, and worst of all, there are huge bruises on her legs. And they look fresh." She finished.

At first everyone was silent. I was the first to speak. "Who did this to her?" I asked.

"Two things. Abusive parents or...she was an experiment." Nat said.

"We'll find out tomorrow," Steve said. "But for tonight, we'll just have to wait." We all went to our sperate rooms, I didn't sleep a wink that night. I was too worried about Briana.

*******6 hours later***3rd person P.O.V****1 in da mornin*****

"AHHHH!!!" Birana screamed as her head shot up. She started to cry. "Mommy! Mommy were are you?!" Bucky and the rest of the avengers (plus bruce) ran into her room. "Briana whats wrong?" Bucky said running to her bedside. Her eyes where still closed and she started patting around her bed. "Mommy!" She screamed again. Bucky tryed patting her back to wake her up, but a she screamed and he went flying back.

"Briana! Wake up!" Natasha yelled as wind started spinning around the room. Birana was still sleeping. "Its just a nightmare!" Clint yelled.

"Bucky, you ok?" Steve asked him.

"Yes." He said walking over to Briana and wrapping his arms around her and quickly pulling her against his chest. Her eyes shot open and were a misty blue. After a few minutes, they went back to their original brown color and the wind stopped. She slumped over in his arms. She sat up and gasped.

"W-what happened?" She asked looking around.

"Well, you kept screaming 'mommy' and your eyes were blue and when you screamed you sent Bucky flying across the room and wind came out of nowhere." Clint said.

"Oh. I sorry." She said looking down.

"What where you dreaming about?" Tony said walking to the edge of her bed.

"Mommy was der, and daddy too. Daddy hurt mommy, and I tryed to help her, but he stucked me to da chair, and her kepted hurting her, and he killed her, and....I dunno what happened after dat." She said about to cry.

"Its ok, you don't have to talk about it." Bucky said rubbing her back. "Yeah, no one was hurt." Natasha said. "Otay." She said. Briana looked to the doorway. "Bruce...." she said pointing to him. "Uh, hello." He said approching her. "Hi." She said.

Briana suddenly fainted I Bucky's arms. "Birana!" Bucky said as he tryed to wake her. "She's fine, just tired." Bruce said. "We should let her rest," Natasha said leaving the room. "Come on Bucky, she'll be fine." She said.

Bucky sighed. He layed Briana back in her bed and kissed her forehead. "Night." He said.

"Uh, who was that?" Bruce asked.

"Briana Malone. She is brother Bucky's adopted daughter." Thor said calmly.

"When did Bucky adopted a kid?" Bruce asked looking at Bucky confused.

"This afternoon." Natasha said.

"Oh. So I guess she must have powers."

"What? No she doesn't." Bucky said.

"So you really think you magically went flying back in a wall, her eyes are naturally blue, and all that wind was just a light breeze?" Bruce asked sarcastically.

"Well, no but-"

"No buts. The kid clearly has powers. Let's just hope she didn't set off S.H.I.E.L.D's sensors." Tony said.

"Ok, see you guys in the morning."
