A Long Way From Home~ Captain America's Daughter

~3

Before Steve went under, his life replayed before his eyes. They first time he met buck, when he first laid eyes on Peggy and he remembers his small, scrawny figure, him having to shove newspaper into the shoes he wore, which where two sizes too big. But then he remembered his child. Of course he knew that Peggy was pregnant, I mean, they celebrated it at the pub with Bucky and the howling commandos when they got back. Bucky getting knocked of his wits end because he had one to many bottles. It came to a shock when Steve woke up, it took him a few days to realise that his child could still be alive; whether they would be a boy or a girl, what they could look like and what kind of personality they have. After the attack on New York, Steve basically begged fury for what felt like weeks but were actually minutes if he could find anything about Peggy carters child. It broke his heart when fury gave in, letting him see they only information he has. His beautiful daughter Ava had died on the 31st of October 1957, just over a decade later than he did. He couldn't stop staring at the file he was given, the beautiful photo of his daughter smiling with pearly white teeth, he could tell that she was definitely his and Peggy's daughter. Her face shape and nose resembled Peggy, while her blue eyes and blonde hair represented him. He would be lying if he said he didn't cry when he saw her. When he visited Peggy in D.C before the disaster of hydra taking over shield, he only talked about his daughter. He wanted to know what she was like, how kind and caring she was. Peggy of course told him everything she could remember. She told him how she had the same stubbornness as her farther, never running away from a fight. She told him that she regretted letting her hang around Howard to much, he started to rub of on her. Steve could see the hurt in Peggy's eyes when they where nearly finished talking about her. Peggy kept on mumbling how it was her fault that she's dead, that she's been guilty ever since it happened. Steve, being the kind soul he is, assured her that there was nothing she could've done. Peggy's the love of his life, it hurts him to see her blaming herself like that. But little do they both know their daughter is well and truly alive.

Ava woke up to a loud slam of a car door. Confused, she looks around. She sees the driver set empty, and also that she's in a building parking lot. It looks run down completely, the only car that's in there is they one she's in, and it looks like it'll collapse at any given moment. Ava's door suddenly opens, scaring her for a moment before she turns and sees its only Bucky. "Come on, we need to get inside" he says. Ava slowly nods her head before unbuckling her set belt and climbing out of the car. She looks around at the light shinning through the car park as the humid heat hits her. She realises it's obviously day time if it's this hot. "What time is it?" She questions Bucky. He shrugs his shoulders in response. "I'm not sure, the clock in the truck stopped working ages ago and I haven't seen any on our way here" he replies. Ava nods turning away and scratching her side a little. "Come on." Bucky says as he grabs her hand, gently pulling her along with him. "By the way, where is 'here'?" Ava asks. "Bucharest, Romania" Bucky swiftly replies, he'd seen the sign before driving into the city. The quietly walk up the stairs into the building, Both of them being trained assassins it was very easy for them to be quiet. The keep walking up the round and narrow stair case moving past doors that have been bolted shut or are just door frames. They come to a door that isn't bolted shut and is actually there. Ava moves Bucky out of the way, and uses her telekinesis and wind to see if there was anybody in there. The wind can talk to her. That's how when she's on her missions she makes it out alive because the wind tells her where the person is. A light grey cloud like mist comes out of her hands and flows underneath the door. She stands there, trying to get every detail she can about the place to see if they can stay there or if it's preoccupied. "They last person that lived here has been gone for four years, it's been abandoned since then." Ava says standing back up. She uses the wind yet again to unlock the door from the inside. Ava carefully opens the door to get a look around. They walk right into the "living room" that leads into the kitchen which has everything they would need in it to survive. Everything seems to be working as well. Ava curiously plays with the television while Bucky walks down the hallway. He opens one door to find the bathroom, it's empty but there's no mould covering the walls which is better than the showers they had at hydra. He backs out and closes the door, opening the one opposite it. He walks in to find one bed, two bedside tables and a dresser. The walls are a cream colour and the bed looks big enough to fit the both of them on it, unless Ava decided she wants to sleep in the living room. Ava heard Bucky come walking back out while she's fiddling with the switches. She groans in frustration before giving a good whack on the top of it like her mother used to do with their old television. They thing buzz's on before a show pops up. Ava quickly turns it down, thinking it's to loud before sitting down on the mattress. 'I wonder if my mother is still alive' Ava questions in here head. She hear rummaging behind her the kitchen before turning around, seeing Bucky open and close all the cupboards before slamming them shut and opening the fridge. He growls in frustration before slamming that shut and throwing his head back in annoyance. He can feel Ava watching him so he turns around to explain to her. "There's no food, and I'm hungry" Bucky says. Ava smiles at him before rushing to the balcony door next to Bucky. She looks around seeing if she can find a local market. "What are you doing?" Bucky asks Ava from behind her. "Looking for people to pick-pocket" she says as if it's the most normal thing in the world. "Pick-what?" Bucky questions, "pick-pocket, you know? When you pick people's wallet from there pockets" she says. She spots a crowed if people headin down the street towards her, she smirks. "I'll be back" she says before opening the door and jumping off the balcony, Bucky just standing there in shock watching Ava fly to the roof across from him. "Huh?" Is the only thing that can come out of his mouth. Ava jumps down the roof from a ladder that leads into an ally way. She walks down the bit not before nearly falling over a price of fabric. She looks down to see a black zip up hoodie, she smirks before picking up, dusting it off and putting it on. She searches the pockets for something before she finds a hair tie. She puts her hair up the places the hood on her head before walking out of there. She follows quietly behind the crowd before seeing a wallets hang loosely from a mans back pocket, she sees a woman holding a purse as well. She quickly devised a plan in her head before following in pursuit. She 'accidentally' runs into the group, knocking them all down like dominoes. Using her powers to make the purse fly off and behind a trash can along with any other wallets they may have. "O-oh my I'm s-so sorry" she fake stutters using her water powers to make it look like she's crying. "Hey, hey it's okay. Are you okay?" A man asks her, "ye-yes I'm fine just lost is a-all, you wouldn't happen to know where the main road is would you?" She asks, "well just go back the way you came and take a few lefts and you should be there" a different woman says. "Oh o-okay, thank you" Ava says, "no problem death" the woman says, "hey, have you eaten in a while? You look rather skinny, here's $10" she says, Ava hides her smirk, continuing on with her scared acting. "O-oh thank you so much miss!" Ava says before standing up with a fake limp. She takes the note and turns her head around. "So a couple lefts and I should be there?" Ava clarifies to the group, turning around and looking at them, they all nod before giving her small smiles. "Be safe" the man says to her, "okay thank you" Ava calls before turning around and 'limping' away. she turns around the corner and stay there. After a few minutes she turns back around to see the whole group gone. She smirks and runs around the corner and to the trash can where all the wallets should be. She grabs them and shoves them in the purse before running down the ally and climbing up the ladder from where she came from. She runs along the roof with her 'super-soldier' speed that she inherited from her father when she was born, but also because of the experiments that have been done to her. She looks up to where the balcony is and smirks, seeing Bucky there with a smirk of his on planted on his face. She does a running leap and flys up to the door, nearly crashing into bucky as she flys through. She quickly places the purse in the ground before sitting down herself. Bucky sits down too, the smirk still spread across his face. "You put on a wonderful show back there" he says. Ava smiles at him, happy that he's a different Bucky now than his stone cold figure was back at hydra. Bucky quickly grabs the purse and flips it over. Out flows 5 different wallets, an expensive looking watch, lose change and bank notes, lipstick, tissues, ladies stuff, and car keys. Bucky and Ava sit there for a while, taking all the money out and counting it. So far the have just about $356.89, "these people must've been rich." Ava mutters while watching Bucky open the last wallet. In front of them they have laid out the money perfectly. One dollar bills with one dollar bills, tens with tens, twenty's with twenty's, and so on and forth. Bucky pulls out four tens, about 8 ones and three twenty's. "That's one hundred and eight dollars plus three hundred and fifty six which is...... four hundred and sixty four dollars and eighty nine cents" Ava says. She starts picking up the money, but feels a pair of eyes drilling into her head. She looks up at Bucky and sees him staring at her. "What?" She asks. "I never knew you where that good at maths." Bucky replies. Ava's face turns a light scarlett colour before she stands up and put the money in a zip lock bag. "I can't help it, I was good in school" she says with a shrug. Bucky was looking down, putting everything in the purse before his head suddenly shoots up and turns and looks at Ava. "You can remember?!" Bucky asks astonished. Ava closes her eyes tight, the memory of killing people popping up in her mind. She quickly gulps before opening her eyes and looking at Bucky, nodding. "They uh, brainwashed me but I've never been able to forget. I uh mean it's mostly good but I can uh, remember everything I do while I'm brainwashed." She says, nervously playing with her fingers, looking at them the whole time she spoke. She slowly lifts her eyes, meeting Bucky's. She awkwardly coughs before reaching down and grabbing the stuff. "I'm gonna go put this stuff back where I got it, I'll be back again" she says, but before she can leave Bucky's metal arm grabs her metal arm. Bucky just stares at her for a moment before bringing her into a hug. 'Since when did Bucky get this sympathetic?' Ava embraces Bucky's hug, she hasn't had a warm feeling like this for ages, and neither has Bucky. They don't move for a little, before Ava realises she really needs to put this stuff back. "I have to put this stuff back Bucky" Ava mumbles into his top. "Okay, be quick" he says, in wrapping his arms from her and stepping back. Ava sends him one of her signature smiles before turning around and running out to the balcony again.
