                                                        Zoey POV


After my water works I looked at the clock to see that it's past midnight, I wiped my tears away, I stood up and made a decision, 

I grabbed some essentials, putting them in a backpack, 

using all the blankets and towels as rope yet again, tying the end to the bed post, putting a dark blue hoodie on pulling the hood up, 

"Friday, if anyone asks I'm sleeping and don't want to be disturbed especially by Steve," I said 

"Of course ma'am," The AI said 

"And don't trigger the motion sensors and lock the door," I said 

"Of course," The AI repeated 

I climbed down the made rope jumping the rest of the way and made my way to the city, 

I don't need him! I don't need anyone! I thought as I ran off, 


                                Steve POV


I paced back and forth as I tried to think of something to say to Zoey, Bucky sitting on the couch watching, 

"What if..." I said 

"No, No" I said shaking my head, 

"Oh, how about..." I said 

"No that won't work," I said shaking my head again, 

"Steve it's getting late you might want to speed this up," Bucky said 

I plopped my self on the couch crossing my arms, 

"I don't know what to say or do," I said 

"Well you better think of something, she hasn't come out of her room all day yesterday or today," Bucky said 

"And it's because of me," I mumbled putting my face in my hands 

Bucky patted my back, 

"Yeah, you can be a little... how do I put this?" Bucky said 

"Insensitive,"Tony finished walking in the room, 

"Not to mention stubborn," Clint said rolling behind Tony 

"Guys this isn't helping," I said 

"I'd say now you get your sorry butt up off that couch, march yourself to Zoey's room and apologize before I kick it there," Natasha said 

"But.." I said 

"No but's now go," She said pointing down the hallway, 

"Fine," I said walking to Zoey's room, 

I knocked on the door,

"Zoey... can we talk?" I said 

"Mis, Rogers has instructed me to inform you that she does not wish to talk to anyone especially you Mr, Rogers," Friday said 

I went to walk away, but Bucky was right behind me, 

"Try again," He said crossing his arms, 

I knocked, 

"Zoey," I said 

again the same response, 

We looked at each other, 

"Zoey you open this door before I knock it down!" Bucky said 

Again the same response from Friday, 

"That's it I've had enough of this," Bucky said kicking the door off it's hinges, 

We enter the room, to see somethings missing, and the sheets tied to the bed post and Zoey gone!

"Friday how long as Zoey been gone?" Bucky asked trying not to lose his cool, 

"Two days sir," Friday said 

"What!?" We both yelled 


                                         Zoey POV


I was standing on a roof seeing a group of drunk men surrounding a woman, 

"Hey Beautiful how about a good time," One said 

"Leave me alone," She said about to leave

"I don't think so toots," Another said 

Finally something to take my anger and frustration out on I thought, 

I jumped down landing in front of the woman, 

"Is that anyway to treat a lady?" I said in a dark tone, 

"And what are you going to do about it kid?" One said 

He went to put his hand on my shoulder, I grabbed his hand bending it behind his back then bending his wrist it making a loud snap sound causing the man to fall to the floor in pain, 

Another man went to grab me I dodged him I grabbed his arm, then taking a firm grasp at the back of his head and slamming in as hard as I could against the brick wall, making him fall unconscious

then the final man charged me I got out of the way, I stuck my foot out causing him to trip, I flipped him over on his back kneeling over him and started punching him in the face continuously that blood was splattering, he finally went unconscious, 

"Who needs them I can take care of myself," I mumbled walking out of the alleyway 


                                               Steve POV


"What do you mean gone?" Tony said 

"How more clear do we have to be? gone not here left!" Bucky said 

"You better watch you're tone Terminator," Tony said inches from Bucky's face 

"What are you gonna do about it tin man?" Bucky said 

as they glared at each other, 

"Enough!" Natasha said getting in-between them pushing them way, 

"This isn't helping us find her!" She said 

"So what do we do?" Clint asked
