Chapter 1: Plot

~Stephanie's POV~

It all started in 1934, I was born in New York city, New York. I soon moved to a nice 2 bedroom apartment with my mother. She giving birth to me about 3 months ago and I was a well behaved baby. Around 18 years later, a Hydra agent came to the apartment where me and my mom lives. He had some kind of plan to take me and that hydra agent have been stalking me and my mother for 18 years. It was about midnight when I was taken from my mother. I heard a gunshot and soon taken out the wind to the street, I was taken to a hydra base in Russia where Bucky Barnes was. I was put in a cell and I banged on the metal door. I begged to be let out, but all I got was threats.

As weeks went by, I was tortured, Brainwashed, and Iced. I was trained in weapons, Hand to Hand combat and how to be a assassin. I was taken to a scientist and got tested on with super soldier serum and then my 3 unique powers came to light. I can turn to shadow and control the power of darkness to my will, I can heal the wounded without being threatened and I couldn't age after I hit my 20's. They named me, the Shadow Assassin. They paired me with Bucky Barnes aka The Winter Soldier. We were their best assassin's and they couldn't be happier. Right after I was iced is when I last saw The Winter Soldier. I was Iced and after the battle of New York, Bucky got redeemed for his attacks and he didn't have trigger words in his head and his memories restored thanks to Wanda.

Bucky told Steve about me and told him that someone was there that went through a lot just like him. Steve nodded and called the team over. So Steve told them that there were going to be teams of 2. The first team was Steve, Bucky, Natasha, and Wanda. The second team was Clint, Vision, Tony and Thor. Once they got to Russia, Bucky led the team one to where I was still being iced. Steve saw me in ice, he had to get helped Bucky get me to the avengers tower. I was still in ice and I didn't wait up till around midnight. I woke up to dim lights and in the medic wing. I noticed that Bucky wasn't with by my side. I sat up softly and looked around.

Steve walked in and asked if I was ok and that I needed anyone. I spoke to Steve in a Russian accent. He called Bucky to the room and he came. Bucky told me that I was save and that Hydra wouldn't hurt me anymore in a Russian accent. I nodded and hugs my legs. Bucky came over and patted my shoulder. He told me that Wanda is helping me get the trigger words out of my head and even help me with my messed up memories and I nodded. About a month later and get to know the Avengers and becoming close friends to Wanda, Natasha and Bucky Barnes. I was trying hard to stay on Dr. Banners good side.

That night, I got ready for bed and everyone knows about my nightmares or night terrors. I sat in my room after Wanda helped me get 50%of my trigger words out of my head. I thanked her for that and she nodded. I laid down in bed and slowly fell asleep. Around 12:30 or 1 am I woke up screaming from a night terror. Wanda made it to my room first and hugged me close. I hugged her as she calms me down with a lullaby. The team stood outside my room. I told Wanda about the night terror and she asked me if she told Bucky about it in the morning and I nodded.

"Thank you so much Wanda. Can you stay till I fall asleep again?" I asked.

"Yes, I won't leave you till you fall asleep ok," She said.

I smiled and fell asleep after about 20 to 30 minutes. Wanda told the team that She would explain about it in the morning and they nodded. In the morning, I woke up and stretched. I made my way to the common area of the tower, Bucky gave me a hug after Wanda told them about the night terror. Bucky felt the same way when he had night terrors. I hugged back and smiled softly.
