Okay, I know I've been MIA for a while. But I had some sudden inspiration. Reviews are welcome!
He first saw her from across the room. She stood smiling as she talked to a handsome young man. He watched her carefully. There was something off about her. She didn't seem quite right. She kept glancing around the room as if watching for someone. She caught his eye and smiled almost nervously. She looked familiar. But for the life of him, he couldn't figure out where from.
"Mr. Stark," someone said distracting him from the young woman. Tony turned to see a woman he recognized from somewhere. He couldn't quite figure out where though.
"Can I help you?" he asked coolly.
"You probably don't recognize me. My name is Leah Virtchow. I met you about five years ago on Christmas Eve at the big party. We slept together that night. I was just going to say that I've noticed that you've become a superhero and was curious why you didn't come to Captain America's aid when HYDRA took over," she said. Tony wasn't really listening until she mentioned Cap. And that's when it clicked. The girl he had seen looked like she could be Bucky Barnes daughter. She had the same facial features. She had the same hair color and eye color. She looked just like him even down to the frown on her face.
"I'm sorry, you'll have to excuse me; I am slightly distracted," he said. "I need to go," he told her as he realized he didn't see the young woman anymore. He went over to the man he had seen her talking to.
"Do you know where that woman you were talking to went?" he asked.
"She went to the bathroom that way," the man told him. Tony went that way. He knew exactly where she was headed. This was his party and his house. She was headed to his workshop where the plans for his Iron Man suit were. He asked JARVIS if he could identify the young woman.
"She is the youngest billionaire in the world. Her name is Alayna Campbell. Her mother died last year, leaving her company to Alayna who is only sixteen. If her mother isn't lying, her father is the assassin known as the Winter Soldier," JARVIS told him.
"Thanks, JARVIS. Please call Steve and tell him I have a lead on Bucky. Tell him to get here as fast as he can," Tony told the AI as he descended the stairs. He entered the dark room cautiously. He heard no movement at all. Just as he was about to tell JARVIS to turn the lights on, he caught a whiff of perfume. He turned around to fight the girl, but she was fast. Tony had been training with Clint for the past year or so, but he was no match for the speed of Bucky Barnes daughter, even in the dark. He held his own for as long as he could. But it took her less than five minutes to have him on the ground. He felt a sharp pain. Then everything went black.
