****Gen's P.O.V****
"Avengers..." Steve started but then never finished.
I looked over at him waiting for him to finish his sentence. After a few seconds he didn't say anything.
Bucky raised his hand, "Question? Are we assembling or not? I left pizza rolls in the microwave."
Before I could respond a loud noise happened and Pietro came speeding in.
"It's in my hair," he exclaimed. He had all of Bucky's pizza rolls in his hair.
I sighed and rubbed my eyes, "Oh boy. This is going to take some work."
"We can do it," Steve assured, "Why don't we take them over to the mats and see what they can do?"
"Sounds good," I said, "Alright ladies, over to the mats. Out of the armor Rhodey."
They all complied and Steve walked over there.
"What's first, gorgeous?" Pietro drawled.
I sensed Steve tense next to me. So to reassure him and to take Pietro down a few pegs, I said, "I want to see how good y'all are with hand to hand combat."
"That's easy," Bucky said rolling his eyes.
"For you yes," I agreed, "that's why Pietro will be going first. To the center of the ring Maximoff."
He sauntered over to the mat that had a giant circle on it. He stopped once he was in the middle. I pulled my hair up into a ponytail and joined him. The others gathered around to watch.
"Okay," I said, "No powers. You don't use your super speed and I won't use my magic on you. Got it?"
He nodded.
"Okay, attack," I said.
He leapt at me, I dropped to the floor and swept his feet out from under him.
"Again," I said as we both stood up. He growled and tried again. This time I grabbed him around the waist and dropped him to the floor, pulling his left arm behind his back.
"Okay," Steve said, "Let him up. Bucky why don't you show them how it's done."
"You got it," Bucky said joining me in the ring. Pietro rubbed his arm as he walked over to his sister. She patted him on the shoulder and laughed.
"You ready, princess," Bucky drawled.
"You ready to lose," I countered.
He snorted and then leapt for me. I dodged right but he moved with me and tackled me to the ground.
"What was that about losing?" he asked.
"That you're going to lose," I said as I wrapped my legs around his torso and flipped myself up so that I could tackle him to the mat. As his back hit the mat I had a serious moment of Déjà vu. I had done this before. Back with Hydra I had trained with Barnes except then he didn't view me as a friend. I was below him not his equal. Against my will memories started flooding back. My head started hurting and it felt like it was going too exploded. I felt something warm start running down my face.
"Okay enough," Steve said urgently. I felt Bucky push me back onto the mat. I couldn't hear anything they were saying. The images in my head wouldn't stop. All I could see was Bucky and I training for missions with Hydra.
Something soft was shoved onto my face.
"Gen? Can you hear me?" Steve asked.
"What?" I asked looking up at him.
