Weeks later, Pietro's room becomes their shared space. Both drawing comfort from each other during the nights, when nightmares plagued her dreams. In the days he's beside her for the tests and as she starts training, always reassuring her. Her affection for him grows every day. It amazes her how patient he is and that he never asks for anything in return.

She begins to remember fragments of memories, her nightmares becoming more vivid and painful, but nothing significant until today. It was only a flash of a name on a journal, yet she remembered it, the most important piece of her puzzle.

Caitlin Monnelly...she repeats the name over and over, scribbling it down in her notebook before the words disappear again.

She hears Pietro's soft humming in the bathroom, the familiar bangs and clangs as he shuffled around. She waits a while, picking at a loose thread on the sheets. For someone so speedy, he could take an age in the bathroom. Fed up, she jumps out of bed and knocks on the door.

Pietro! Are you in there?! I remember!

"That's great micuta mea, I'll be-"

Pietro my name, it's Caitlin!

Caitlin was so excited to tell him she may have leaned a little too hard on the door and it flew open, sending her stumbling into Pietro on the toilet.

"Get out Caitlin!"

Oh lord, sorry! I'll just wait out here...Pietro you stink!

Pietro laughs, "That will teach you!"

Mortified she yelps and cover her eyes, backing out of there and closing the door. Caitlin taps her feet, plays with her nails, draws letters in the air with her powers, anxious to get moving. She would finally find out who she was, what happened to her.

Pietro walks out adjusting his sweats and she poked her tongue out at him.

"Let's go see Stark and Banner."

Finally!

Pietro was quiet during the walk to Stark's lab, his grip on Caitlin's hand unusually firm. She could sense how concerned he was, not meeting her eyes and biting his nails. Maybe he could sense her own apprehension, her enthusiasm fading with every step. Once Caitlin found out what Hydra did to her there was no going back.

"Stark."

"Hey there snow, what brings you here?" Stark ignores Pietro and smiles at Caitlin, bugging Pietro as usual.

"She remembered her name, it's-"

"Caitlin Monnelly." She breathed out, her voice hoarse. She had tried to use it more since they allowed her to stay, though never often. The sound still shocked them every time.

Stark typed in her name and immediately files and photos started to flash up on his screens. He asked Caitlin to wait and within fifteen minutes Bruce had come to the waiting area with a tablet.
