So in a review I was given the incentive for this story. So now that I've got my motivation heres my new story.
Part 2: The Girl Behind the Mask
*Steve*
It had been several weeks since I'd watched Wild Cat die after saving me. The team had gotten to know me and not Captain America. I was walking around in civilian clothes to get some coffee. As I was walking to the counter I bumped into someone. She looked up and her purple eyes that were so familiar startled me. But I banished the thought of her being Wild Cat and began to apologize. We both started to apologize and laughed as we tried to tell the other to go first. She smiled at me and I asked
"Do you want to have a cup of coffee some time?" She nodded and said
"How about now I've already got the coffee part down I'll be over there you can get your coffee now." I nodded and went to order my coffee. Once I got it I sat across from her and said
"My names Steve."
"Mines Zarina. Where are you from?"
"Brooklyn you?"
"Colorado born and raised." we talked some more and I found I liked her and her humor. Soon we were exchanging numbers and promising to get together again some other time. As I walked back to the tower I thought about how much she looked like Wild Cat. I may have never seen her entire face before but the delicate features matched and the eyes. Banishing the thought I entered the tower and asked J.A.R.V.I.S. if they'd found anything on Bucky. He replied with a negative and I sighed getting ready for training. Now that the team had started to get to know me they'd started to look into Bucky's disappearance after the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D. It had been restarted now without Hydra's influence. It was better now and the team had now started to look into finding Bucky. With a sigh I headed to training.
*Wild Cat*
I smiled as I left the coffee shop. I could see his recognition of me but how he'd shoved it down. I know that they'd thought I'd died. I walked into the back alley and teleported home. I was a scientist that discreetly sold weapons designs to S.H.I.E.L.D unlike Stark though I made sure they had a simple weakness so they could be taken down. It had made me a pretty penny. I'd bought a large piece of property in the Rockies and had set up a house for me and my sister. After my near death she realised the negative effects of her ambition and had become my sister once more. She had been helping me keep a constant feed of information from Stark's A.I. they were looking for the Winter Soldier and now so were we. Captain America's best friend turned brainwashed super soldier. We had more advanced tracking and were close to finding him. We were going to help him get his mind back. Hugging my sister from behind I smiled as she said
"Zarina"
"Paige, you find him?"I asked
"Surprisingly yes. Your brains are a lot smarter than Stark's it seems there months away from finding him."
"Did you get ahold of that telepath you know?"
"Yes he was actually surprised I was alive. He's coming down soon. Once we bring him here we can begin to help him." I nodded and said
"Where?"
"Other side of the world right here." She pointed. I nodded and grabbed her hand teleporting to the location. It was a small apartment scarcely decorated. Turning invisible we waited for him to come home. As soon as the door opened I revealed myself. He reached for my throat and seemed shocked when his hand went straight threw it.
"James. Stop we are here to help you."He reached for Paige and was shocked to find he couldn't move his arm.
"James my name is Zarina Royal, this is my sister Paige Royal. We are here to help you get your life back. I've already erased all of your exploits from every database on the planet. Come with us we can help you."
"Why should I trust you?" he asked
"Because no matter what anybody has ever done they always deserve another chance." I replied
"If your Hydra agents I'll kill you. I'll come with you for now. Where are we going?"
"Our home in the Rockies I'm going to teleport us there if that is alright?" he nodded and I gently grabbed his metal arm and Paige put her hand on my shoulder closing my eyes I sent us home. Paige let go of my shoulder and went back to her computer. She began typing and writing things down. Letting go of James's arm I said
"I'll show you, your room. We left it plain so you could choose how you want it decorated. Whatever you want just ask I'll get it for you. Money's no object. Down the hall is my lab. If you ever need me I'm probably there. Paige's in her office 90% of the time. If you need anyone to talk to she's your gal. She'll understand. Trust me." he nodded and asked
"Why are you helping me?"
"You deserve to get your life back. There's a bathroom through that door I'll be in my lab if you need me." Walking down the hall I opened the bulletproof glass door and closed it behind me. Walking over to my computer I pulled my phone out and plugged it in to charge. Walking over to my experiment I set up the next test. Hearing my sister's voice I turned to see if she was in the lab. Seeing I'd just left the door cracked I went to close it till I heard James say
"Your sister seems very trusting. Almost too trusting." Paige let out a dry laugh
"She is, she sees the good in everyone. It's almost dangerous. Actually it really is. I'm a mutant,so is my sister. When my sister got her powers she was terrified of them. Me I was ecstatic I could get away with anything and never get caught. The power started to go to my head. I'd always been the most liked person in school. Zarina wasn't while she respected her gifts I let them go to my head. I lost myself in the haze of the power I now had. Soon we were out of highschool. We were always close. She's actually a year younger then me. She went to college and I joined a group of mutants who only wanted world domination. As I got further involved in the group she grew more and more wary of the group as I quit acting like myself. The more I think about it the more I realise it wasnt me in control. When I got my gifts the haze that clouded my mind made it susceptible to suggestion. I soon didn't exist. The only thing that existed was Silver Falcon. My sister tried to reason with me but it never worked. Somehow I got it into my head that she betrayed me. She never did. I rose in the ranks of the Sisterhood. And we grew apart though she constantly tried to wake me up. She became a scientist I a madman. I believed I deserved to rule. She became Wild Cat a hero. She fought my agents as they tried to capture this enhanced or another. Eventually my ambitions got the better of me and I went after Captain America. Little did I know that my sister was done with my ambition. One of my agents had went after him. He hurt him pretty bad. It would of been worse but my sister intervened. She shadowed him for awhile. He was healing and we set up a diversion for his team. We came for him and well let's say she put up quite the fight. If I hadn't caught her by surprise she would have won that fight. I knocked her out and broke her leg. She found us and brought the Avengers not that they were much help to her they did not listen to her advice. She got the Captain out and then we exchanged words and fought. It was more of a mental battle then anything. I nearly killed her because she was unwilling to truly hurt me. The Avengers think she's dead and so far have not come after me for reasons unknown. They are looking for you. But luckily for you my sisters smarter than Stark."
"Why are they looking for me?" he asked
"Because they finally got their heads out of their a***** and realised that their was someone behind Captain America." she replied "I have a question for you. Are you okay with a telepath coming over to help you with your memories? It's alright if you don't want him to come." he stared at her for a moment and seemed to weigh his options. She smiled at him and squeezed his shoulder
"You don't have to tell me now. Dinners in an hour make sure to get Zari out of the lab when you come for dinner will you?" he nodded and went into his room. Paige went to the kitchen and I closed the door. Moving to my experiment I commenced my little project.
*Paige*
There was a loud boom and I rushed out of the kitchen to see grey smoke pouring out of the lab as Zari came out of the lab waving the smoke away from her face. Black soot covered her face and I sighed. Crossing my arms I looked over to James who looked bewildered.
"What blew up? What did you do? Why is this common enough it no longer gives me a heart attack?" I demanded. She bit her lip and said
"Um...to answer your questions. I blew up a smoke grenade. I accidently exposed it to a bunsen burner and because I'm a scientist." I groaned and said
"Clean up and get into the kitchen. Both of you. I've had one too many explosions for the day." Leaving the hallway I finished dinner and made plates. Once I was done I found them both sitting at the kitchen table. With a smile I gave them their plates and began to eat myself. Soon we'd finished eating and went to watch the news while Zari anxiously awaited the next show. When the news came on with breaking news showing the Avengers trying to stop an army of robots. They were trying but were soon becoming over run. Even with their newest members from the Sokovia incident they were failing. Zari disappeared before I could stop her. I growled in frustration. I knew she was suiting up.
*Zarina(aka:Wild Cat)*
Upon seeing the news I'd teleported out of the room before Paige could stop me. I'd teleported to my lab and had darkened the glass. Seeing the case holding my suit I opened it. It had bulletproof fabric that was still thin enough to be maneuverable. Braiding my hair into a french braid I grabbed my new mask. It was of the same design except now it had white lens that were similar to Iron Man's except they were clear on the inside. Placing the mask on I revelled in the feel of the smooth material on my face again. Pulling on the familiar suit with ease I zipped up the back. Pulling on the boots I zipped up the sides. Their small heel leaving me undeterred. Grabbing my fingerless gloves I pulled them on with ease. Grabbing my bow staff and a sword that I strapped across my back. Once I was done with that I teleported into the living room. Hugging my sister I left before she could stop me. The Avengers needed my help.
