When I woke up the next day, Bucky was gone. My guess was he didn't want to wake me up. I slowly get up and hop in the shower. I stood in front of the mirror, looking at the bruises on my body. I didn't understand what it was or how I got it. I got dressed and went downstairs. I bump into a guy with blonde hair.
"Liz, how are you?" he asks. I backed away from him, not knowing who he was. He must have noticed that because he takes a step back. "My name is Steve. I'm not going to hurt you."
"I was looking for something to eat," I say softly.
"I'll show you where the kitchen is," Steve says, walking away. I follow behind him but kept my distance from him in case he was going to attack. Bucky was cooking at the stove. He looks up when Steve and I walk into the kitchen.
"Would you like some eggs?" Bucky asks. I shake my head, going to the fridge. I grab some yogurt and put some in a cup and put fruit in it. I flinched as a hand hands me a spoon. I look up to see Bucky.

"Sorry," I say. I grabbed the spoon and began to eat slowly. Once I finish, Bucky grabs the dish and spoon and washes them as I step outside. Steve was talking to a girl with red hair. I sit on the bench outside.
"You okay?" Steve asks me. I nod. Suddenly a car speeds towards us. It pulls to a stop in front of Steve. A black man steps out with an eye patch on.
"Is this her?" he asks, looking at me.
"Fury, there is no reason to interrogate her! She was brainwashed!" Steve says, standing in front of me. I stand up behind Steve.
"Interrogate me?" I ask softly.
"I just want to ask you a few questions about what happened while you were in HYDRA," Fury says.
"But only when she's ready?" Steve says. Suddenly I collapsed, screaming in pain, holding my head as other people's screams fill my head.

"Liz, what's going on?" Steve says. "Nat, go get Bruce!!!!" Suddenly Fury's face is next to mine.
"Liz, you need to tell us what's happening," Fury says. The screams got louder, and I screamed even louder.
