A mortar shell hits a few hundred feet from me knocking me back onto my back gasping for air and ears ringing. My eyes widen and I go slack jawed as I try to get the ringing to stop. I hear voices from up ahead of me and I try my hardest to focus on them.

Were they speaking English?

I push myself from my feet and slowly start to make my way to them when another explosion happens a few hundred feet from me but this time I use my abilities and reaching up use the earth to shield be from debris. I gulp down a breath of air before another explosion happens behind me knocking me forward into my own shield. "AGH!" I cry out as I rub my shoulder. I glance down to see that my leather jacket was now ripped to shreds by the debris.

"Is there a girl out there?" I hear a deep voice say and I clutch tightly to my arm as I cry out, "I am a woman you dumbass, but yes!"

"English? Are you English?"

"No! I'm American!" I call out as I keep a sharp eye out for more bombs.

"What the hell," I hear another male voice call out and I roll my eyes.

"What are you doing out here?" Another male voice asks and I groan.

"Oh I'm just out for a midnight stroll," I say sarcastically before yelling, "I have no fucking clue why I'm here!"

"Whew, someone's got a mouth on them." The deeper voice says and I growl inwardly. "Look, can you follow my voice?"

"Uh, kind of?" I say as I try to figure out where exactly it was coming from.

"Okay good, now I'm gonna need you to run to us okay? And do not look back."

"Okay," I say and taking a deep breath calm my nerves before I push myself to my feet and bolt toward where the voice had come from. As I near it I can see a group of about three men bunkered down in an old mortar hole and I instantly throw myself into it wincing as my side collides with the hard ground.

"Who are you and why are you here?" I hear a voice say and I roll my eyes.

"First off my name is Jeneel, and I have no idea why I'm here." I say as I grip tightly to my side.

"You're gonna have to do better than that doll." The deep voice says and I finally glance up to see three familiar faces and my eyes widen.

GOD DAMMIT STARK.

"I have no idea how I got here," I say as I stare into the icy blue eyes of Sergeant Timothy 'Dum Dum' Duggan. "One moment I was with my friends and the next," I pause as I look from him to the rest of his company to see Private Gabriel Jones, and last but not least Sergeant James Buchannan Barnes or Bucky as Steve called him. I stare at him in complete shock as my heart starts to race in my chest.

Wait what?

I quickly look away as I try to figure out why my heart was racing. I didn't know him. I liked Steve. I was going on a date with Steve. I look around and sigh inwardly.

Not going on a date with him now are you?

"It could be a trick," Gabe says as he eyes me up and down. "What do you say Bucky?"

"We'll have to wait to find out if she's lying or not." He replies and I grit my teeth.

"Would my opinion matter?" I ask as I grip tightly to my side.

"Not really, no," he says not looking at me and I nod.

"I understand," I say as I move away from them and curl up in the corner away from them. I place my face on my legs as I silently chastise myself and Tony for making that damned time machine.
