Gwen Ross's theme song:

Chapter 1

Nine year old Gwen ran around chasing her big sister "Betty wait up!" She giggles.

Stopping Gwen looked around "Betty?"

Had she lost her sister? Looking around she see's three soldiers and her father, smiling Gwen runs to her father and hugs his leg only to have him push her away.

"Daddy?"

"Take her."

Looking between the three soldiers, they surrounded her, grabbing her tiny arms as she starts kicking and screaming.

"Betty! Daddy! Help!"

"Gwen!" Betty called out only to be stopped by their father "Gwen!"

Gasping thirty year old Gwen Ross looked around her cabin bedroom, groaning she laid back down. It was another nightmare, another from her childhood, she hated him hated herself.

It was so long ago and that jackass of a father...shaking her head she heard a knock at the door.
Slowly sitting up the only person the knew she was here was Bruce Banner, he had helped her find the place before they both went of the grid. Grabbing her crutches, she hobbles on one foot to the front door before someone started banging on it, stiffening she grabs her cell phone.

Yes it was a flip phone yes it was crap but it helped with her powers, connecting to the outside camera's she saw a man in a ball cap standing outside.

"Who is it? Who are you?" She called out hoping it wasn't S.H.I.E.L.D or Hydra.
Slowly walking to the door she pushes the tiny window curtain aside, her eyes widen as she shuts it backing up.

Oh hell no! The Winter Soldier at her door step?! Where the hell did he come from?!

Getting impatient he takes the handle and breaks it, pushing the door open. Gwen's eyes widen looking around her phone drops out of her hand. The man stood in the door way, shaggy long greasy hair coming to his shoulders, long sleeved over shirt with a black under shirt, jeans, and boots.

Tilting her head to the side, she scanned the Winter Soldier's attire before looking at his intense blue eyes.

"Umm...you're the Winter Soldier..." She try's to look behind him "Look umm whatever it is, I don't have anything you want ok? I'm just a cripple living on her own."

The man rolled his eyes taking the door and slamming it back into place, Gwen winced.

"Gwen Ross, age 30 years old, Little sister to Betty Ross, Daughter of Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross." He slowly walks up to her "You hacked into the most difficult data bases in the world including Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D."

Gwen swallowed hard "What...do you want?"

"Your help." He rolled up his sleeve showing his metal arm.

Gwen's eyes widen at the arm, she could feel the pulses from the electrical current in his medal arm.

"Vibrainum...how? I couldn't even afford a wooden leg let alone a metal...damn Hydra bastards." She muttered as she moved towered him.

Looking closely she could see some damage to the arm some wires sticking out here and there.
Gwen nodded "Well I'm going to need equipment, I haven't the need to repair things in so long..." She fell silent, remembering in her teen years she used to pick apart computers and put them back together.

Gwen muttered under her breath as she moved to her writing desk, she slowly sat down.

"Guess you're in luck...I'll help you." she turned around smiling at the assassin.
