Liz
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.
"GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!" I scream. I felt my body heat up. Fury and Steve quickly get a good distance away from me.
I felt myself lift off the ground as images of things I've never seen before passed through my head. Are these my memories?
"She reached the full Phoenix," I hear Fury yell.
Suddenly I was falling from about three hundred feet in the air. I scream in fear. I close my eyes, knowing that this was the end. Suddenly I land in someone's arms. I look up to see Steve looking at me in concern.
"Tony!!" Steve yells. A man appears next to me, who I am assuming is Tony, and he looks down at me, concerned. Steve sets me down, and he keeps his arm around my waist, so I don't fall.
"I think I remember," I say weakly. Tony looks at me.
"You remember your memories?" Tony asks.
"Yeah, I think so. You're my brother, right?" I say.
"Yes!" Tony says excitedly. Fury walks over to us.
"Liz, if you are ready, I would like to ask you some questions," Fury said.
"No," I say. Fury nods and leaves. Steve helps me inside and on the couch.
"Do you need anything?" Steve asks.
"Some water please," I say. Steve leaves as Bucky walks in.
"I heard that you got your memories back," Bucky says. Why was he talking to me? I thought he hated me.
"I did," I say. Bucky looks at me.
"What?" Bucky says.
"I thought we weren't talking," I say. Bucky rolls his eyes.
"Would you not like me to talk to you anymore?" Bucky asks.
"Yeah," I say rudely. Bucky scoffs.
"Sounds good to me, Doll," Bucky snaps as he walks away. Steve comes in with a water bottle. He hands it to me.
"Thanks, Steve," I say. Steve nods.
"Would you like to talk about what they did to you at HYDRA?" Steve asks.
"No!" I say rudely. I look at Steve and sigh. "Sorry, I'm not ready to talk about it yet. But when I am ready, you would be the first person I would talk to about it." I get up, and Steve reaches out to help me walk. "I got it, Steve. Thanks, though." He pulls me into a hug, and I try hard not to shake in his embrace. Finally, he pulls away, and I walk up to my room. I walk into my room and change into pajamas.

"Liz, dinner has arrived downstairs," Jarvis says. So I go downstairs and into the kitchen.
"Sit, I'll bring you your food," Tony says. I look at the table to see the only open spot was by Steve and Bucky. I sigh softly, sitting down as Tony sets some noodles and chicken in front of me. I turn to look at him, raising an eyebrow. "Girl, chill! I didn't forget your sesame chicken." He slides a bowl of it to me.
"Thank you, Tony," I say.
"Were you sleeping?" Natasha asks.
"No, I was just watching some tv," I say. Nat smiles as I eat. I could feel Bucky staring a hole through my head. After we all finished, I got up to clear the table, but Tony stops me.
"I got it," Tony says. I smile and head back to my room and lay down.
