                                                     Zoey POV


Ugh my head I thought as I cracked my eyes open, 

I sat up in the bed, 

"Note to self never mix vodka and whiskey," I mumbled 

I hopped in the shower, brushing my teeth and hair and changing, 

Nike leggings and a tank top to let off some steam and some training before tonight, I thought as I walked into the training room, 

no one was in here, good, I thought 

And I just started hitting the bag as hard and as fast as I could sweat falling down my face never letting up, the thing is I could do this all day without getting tired, 

as I'm punching my thoughts spiral, from being kidnapped when my mom was in the hospital, to HYDRA, to being frozen, to waking up and everything different, to my mother dying, to how everyone bossing me around then the bag flew off the hinges sand pouring out of it, 


                                                      Steve POV


I walk in the room Tony and Bucky were looking at the surveillance camera, 

"What is it?" i asked 

"Take a look," Tony said 

I see Zoey in the training room hitting the punching bag without getting tired hitting it fast and hard, 

"How long has she been doing that?" I asked 

"An hour," Bucky said 

Then the bag flew off the hinges and the sand poured out of the bag as it hit the ground, 

My eyes got wide, 

"Kid's got you're spunk cap," Tony said 

"I think we should talk to her," Bucky said 

"you sure that's a good idea kid seems tense," Tony said 

I nodded, 

"Yeah, something is going on," I said 

with that me and Bucky left, 

We entered the training room to see She's hitting another bag not holding any punches, as her back was to me I noticed something some scars in-between he shoulder blades, 

Where did she get those? I thought, 

I cleared my throat so she knows were there, 

She turned around, 


                                           Zoey POV


"Can I help you?" I asked 

"Zoey we need to talk," Steve said 

I turned around to start punching the bag again, 

"There is nothing to talk about," I said hitting the bag again, 

"Really you sure about that?" Bucky asked 

"Positive," I said hitting harder, 

"Then why so aggressive to the punching bag?" Bucky asked 

I turned around, 

"Look I appreciate what you guys did for me but nothing is wrong this is how I deal okay, that's it end of story," I said 

"Look Zoey we know you've been going through a lot but we can't help you if you don't talk to us,"Steve said 

"I already told you I don't need help," i said with that I stormed out of the room, 

I need to get ready for tonight and I need to stay focused I thought not realizing someone was following me, 

"What Peter," I said 

"Was just wondering why you keep distancing from everyone?" He asked 

I just rolled my eyes going to my room shutting the door, putting my fight clothes in a backpack, 

"Okay I need to time this right," I mumbled, 

I'm the last fight of the night so it doesn't need to be a 8 tonight i just need to figure out a way out since Tony made sure my window won't open since my last stunt, I thought

It was past 10:30, I tiptoe past all the rooms near mine, in the main room it was dark, I hit the button for the Elevator, to go down, 

I get to the ground floor heading to get my money for the night, I thought 


                                               Steve POV


Me and Bucky see, Zoey sneaking out so tonight we decided to follow her, I thought

"There she goes come on," Bucky said 

it was me Bucky, Natasha and Clint, 

we follow her to the rough part of town, 

she knocked on the door three times, and someone slid the peep hole open she mumbled something and they let her in, 

we were all in disguise, we walk to the door I knock three times, the guy slides the peep hole open, 

"Sea turtles," I said 

The guy closes the peep hole and opens the door, 

"Welcome to fight night, down stairs and to the left remember to place bids," The guy said 

We nodded walking down the stairs, 

"Why would she sneak out for a place like this don't tell me she's gambling," Clint said 

"I hope not," I said worried 

We took our seats closest to the cage, 

"This is the underground cage fighting Fury has been on the hunt for," Tony said in my ear piece since the fake glasses I'm wearing were a camera, 

"Are you sure?" I mumbled not trying to draw attention 

"Yes 100%," He said 

We sat there watching fight after fight and some of the body types against each other were not a fair fight what so ever, I thought 

I looked around for Zoey but couldn't find her, 

"And now ladies and Gentlemen our final fight of the night!" the announcer said 

"In the red corner weighing in at 225 pounds 6'3, Cerberus!" The announcer said the guy was huge, I thought, 

"Now in the Blue Corner!" The announcer said 

"weighing in at 94 Pounds! The Petite power house! The Teenage Solider!" The announcer said 

our heads Spun that is who Fury is looking for! I thought 

"No way?" Clint said 

"That's-" Natasha said in shock 

"Zoey?" Me and Bucky said at the same time as she entered the cage

"That's not possible," Tony said in my ear
