Winnie? • The winter soldier

"Minnie wake up." A voice whispered to the girl.

The girl jerked awake thinking it was the perverted guard again.

"Come on its time for you to leave." The winter soldier said in a hushed voice trying to motivate her.

"What time is it? How did you get down here?" The girl asked confused.

"Just come on."

After sneaking around half the guards and knocking out three the pair finally made it to a vehicle.

"Go to this safe house and don't answer the door to anyone. Here's some cash for food and clothes. Be careful and stay safe." He said handing her a bag of cash and a map.

"Wait, I thought you said you were coming with me." Armina stated confused.

"I'll meet up with you in a few days." With that she drove away from the facility.

A two weeks has gone by and still no sign of the man who saved her from HYDRA. She made it to the house a little over a week ago ditching the car halfway and stealing another to go the rest of the way.

She went to the store for food the day after she got there and now has a cupboard full. She stole the clothes though not wanting to waste her money.

To say she was bored would be an understatement so she took out the map to see where she could go.

"Okay, lets see. There's a mall about ten miles from here, but that would take over three hours to walk. How about target is only four miles away. I could walk an hour and a half." The woman continues to talk to herself as she puts her shoes on.

When she opens the door she lets out a yelp as she runs right into something or someone really. Instinctively her claws cane out and she was ready to fight.

"Winnie? Oh my goodness you scared me. Come on in."

She moves to the side letting the man in, quickly closing and locking the door.

"Are you hungry? I could make you something to eat." She offered.

"Um, sure." Was all she got as a reply.

She walked to the kitchen forgetting all about her boredom.

She started cooking up some eggs as he sat at the table.

"There's some coffee on the counter but you'll have to heat it up." Noticing the sleepiness in his eyes.

He pours himself a cup and puts it in the microwave. Looking for the sugar.

"Here you go." She says while setting the plate of eggs in front of him, as he takes a sip of his coffee.

"Where were you going?"

"What?"

"You has your shoes on and you were leaving the house. Where were you going?"

"Oh, I was just gonna head to target to walk off my
boredom." She chuckles at his concern.

"Anyway I cleaned up the house the other day and fixed the rooms up a bit. I got you some clothes, they're in your room, not sure if they'll fit you, I hope they do."

"Thanks."

"Let me just say you are quite the conversationalist." She humors.
