After getting over the initial shock of Bucky being the Winter Soldier, Isis leaned over the sleeping man, carefully pushing his wavy brown hair from his face she smiled as she realized that was sleeping like a rock. But she also remembered that he had gone to bed fully clothed.
A giggle escaped her lips when she figured out that he had gotten too hot in the bed with her and stripped to his tight black underwear in his sleep. Shaking her head she pulled the sheets back over him and got up to make something to eat.
Thinking that something filling would be good, she pulled up all the stops, bacon, eggs(both scrambled and not) toast, pancakes and for drinks, coffee, milk, orange and apple juice. When everything was done she turned from turning off the stove and nearly jumped out of her skin when she saw a groggy Bucky sitting at the table,
His eyes were hooded with sleep and he wore his track pants and his shirt was on backwards and inside out. Laughing at his fumbles she helped him fix it and then he hunkered down to eat. Having three servings to her usual two.
Bucky having finally filled himself up, got up and set his dirty dishes into the sink, and started to wash everything what with Isis having made breakfast. She had protested that he didn't need to but he wouldn't hear of it. "Do you want to talk about your nightmare?" He asked and she stiffened a bit.
Running her hands through her hair she shrugged but she remembered he couldn't see her and answered verbally "no not really." He turned off the water and turned to her, "I understand, so if you want to then..." he said trailing off and she nodded. "Sure thanks."
Going to her room she changed and came back out to see Bucky still sitting at the table his eyes hooded by his brows as he looked deep in thought. Recognizing the same look in his eyes as she had seen in herself, sitting across from him, after about ten minutes he shuddered out of his train of though and his blue eyes focused on her.
"Sorry–" he started but she cut him off, "what did you just remember?" Rubbing his hands together he couldn't seem to keep his eyes off her, she somehow managed to make him feel like he was a teen again in the presence of a beautiful woman. Not that he could remember that but the feeling was there.
"A guy, he wore a red, white and blue uniform, his face was all scrunched up in pain as I fell away from him, he had shouted what I think is my name with his hand stretched out." Bucky explained, his expression deep with confusion and frustration. Isis suddenly remembered the Smithsonian Museum, rushing back into her room,
She came back with her laptop and set it in front of Bucky, he looked at her started before she opened a new web page and put in the website for the Captain America exhibit. Scrolling through the paragraphs of information she stopped when she found his, and let him read.
"What is all this?" he asked not understanding what she put on the screen in front of him, "This is all about James Buchanan Barnes. He is or was best friends with Captain America, or as the world knows him, Steve Rogers. Read it maybe something good will come back to you." she said patting his shoulder softly, moving herself into her home gym she started to work out a bit,
In the hopes that she too would remember something about herself, for one thing she knew that the name she had wasn't hers she had created that name the moment she had stolen her first computer and with the skills she acquired from HYDRA she created Isis Prince.
The only thing that would indicate her real name are the initials she remembered that she carved into the palm of her metal hand. 'M. Howlett' other than that it was all a blank. She was never able to get the files on herself,
Because of Black Widow's leaking all of HYDRA and SHIELD out to the public so anything they had on her was now gone and she had no way of getting it back without outing herself to the public. Sitting on the bench press, her mind wanders as her metal fingers trace the carvings of the only name she found.
When suddenly her mind is thrown deep into a memory she never knew she had:
.:Northwest Territories, Canada, 1845:.
A young girl, 16-18 years of age sat across from a young boy of twelve her back to a older boy with clawed nails and a knife, "Victor, enough with that, you are driving me nuts with the sound." she reprimanded, "Sorry, Miss. Marina."
The boy sounded nervous around the girl, as she treated the little boy who constantly coughed and shook with a fever, "James, you feeling any better?" she asked softly and the little boy gave her a unsure shake of his head, "Better than yesterday." she smiled sadly but was pleased by his high spirits,
"But, big sis, you gotta stop teasing Victor, one of theses days his head will explode from all the blushing." Giggling the girl - Marina - smiled over her shoulder.
"Sorry, I just can't help it, he's just too adorable not to tease." James chuckled softly before coughing again, jumping up in worry the older girl gave him some water. Thanking her when he calmed down their father walked in, standing by her side,
He set his strong hand on her shoulder and squeezed firmly, "How's my little soldier?" He asked, wanting to see how his son was fairing having his third bout of illness this month. "Much better." the older man smiled and patted the little boy's shoulder and caressed his cheek lovingly--
"Isis--" the sound of Bucky calling her name brought Isis out of her train of thought, blinking she had to rub her eyes to get them to focus and to rid them of the tears she didn't realize she had shed. "I'm sorry, were you in a memory?" she nodded softly and looked up at him, "sorry, it's fine did you need something?" she asked getting the topic back on him,
"Um...your computer is beeping and I don't know..." giggling she got up and grabbed the charger from her room and went to plug in the laptop for Bucky to continue using and reading. As he went back to reading she stood in the kitchen and looked at the time.
Realizing it was almost a quarter past lunch she asked if he wanted to eat, looking up he nodded, "Yes, please." smiling she got to work on some grilled cheese sandwiches. Making sure to make a lot, on the account that Bucky ate way more than she did. When it was ready she set the plate beside him and added a tall glass of milk.
Sitting across from him she asked about what he thought about the information he was getting. "It's helping, but some things are still missing..." she nodded, "that's understandable, your only just starting with this, it will take time." she explained and he nodded.
"Do you want to talk to Steve for more information?" she asked taking a sip of her drink while he stared at the computer screen. "Eventually, yes I would like to see him, but not right now." she nodded and continued to eat. But when she saw that Bucky's plate was empty and he was blindly searching for more,
She got up and replaced his empty plate before he pulled his eyes from the screen. But he had already noticed that he had done what he did and his cheeks tinted pink before he hid it behind the computer.
