AURORA POV:
They decide to split into two groups, one has Tony, Thor and Clint, the other has Steve, Sam and Natasha, that's the group I'm with. We're about to move when I speak up, finally not stuttering from the cold "Can I have a dagger, please?" I can't tell if anyone looks at me or not, but one of them holds out a hand to me, I reach out and grasp the handle of the dagger "You know how to fight?" I nod "They trained me." "Alright, let's go everyone." Someone moves so I can get on their back and they all run towards the building.

Hopefully I can figure out who's one of these people and who's HYDRA when in there.

As soon as we're at the location Steve said our group should fight from, I'm put down onto my feet “Stay close.” I hear thundering footsteps nearing us, I make sure I'm holding the dagger right and take a step, slipping slightly.

Ooh, these socks are slippery. I should probably take them off.

I quickly pull them off and hook them over my waistband for safekeeping, I then look in the direction of the noise to see loads of red bodies, one of the front people turns orange "WSG2? What are you doing back here?" I instantly recognise the voice, it's the man who punishes me whenever I don't do what I'm asked or whenever I lose in a fight "I thought you'd be long gone, having escaped us." I glare at him, but don't say anything, he laughs and Steve speaks "Step away from her." I only now notice that he's been creeping closer "Oh Captain..." He then attacks him and all the others run at us. I use the skills they taught me against them as I defend myself from anyone coming at me. Fighting isn't easy since I can't see the weapons, but I have to trust my fighting skills and the dagger in my hand.

When there are only three bodies other than my own standing in the corridor I turn to them and stay in my fighting stance, I can't tell who they are "Aurora, you good?" When I hear Natasha's voice I lower my arms and nod, I then follow them down the corridor where we fight more people. When we're finally done my body is exhausted and I'm bleeding a little more than I was before I met these nice people, I slip the socks back on and I'm carried through the forest to their 'quinjet', which I can't see at all.

I should probably tell them I can't see. Or maybe not yet...

Two of the people disappear, so I assume they've gone behind something, since I can't see through anything, the others sit on invisible seats, if I wasn't so nervous I'd laugh at how strange it looks "We'll take you with us." I look to the voice, it's Steve again "You'll be safe there and we can figure out what to do from there. Maybe we can get you home, to your family." "My family?" "Yeah, you must've come from somewhere." I shrug "I don't remember anything before HYDRA." "Well, we'll find out for sure. We can also get you looked at by a friend of ours, whose a Doctor." I nod. For the rest of the trip everyone talks, but I stay silent, looking at the ground and thinking things through.

Can I trust these people?

When we arrive at the new location I still can see nothing but the people around me, we walk to an area where there are two more people, one is red, which immediately puts me on high alert and the other figure is white. The white figure looks kind of familiar, it's definitely a man, his stance reminds me of HYDRA Agents and then I see his left arm, or rather, I don't see it.


I'm fighting a completely white man in hand to hand combat, the man doesn't have a left arm, or so I thought. We're fighting and something grabs my right arm, but I can't see anything there, when I go to grab it I find that it's attached to the man in front of me. He stops fighting me and turns orange, as I touch what I can't see I realise it's his arm, I look to his face but can't see it "What happened to your arm?"

That was the day HYDRA found out I can only see living or dead things, before then I just believed people were just one colour and that loads of things were invisible. I was only 6, I didn't understand. After loads of tests, only a select few Agents knew about my sight problem and made sure to train me more to make up for it. They never went easy on me, actually they pushed me even harder.

I take a step towards the man "Winter?"
