? P.O.V.

POW! The bullet pierced through my left arm. Shit! I kept running thought the dark forest, branches were scratching my body but I still ran. I turned around for a split second to see if anyone was behind me, no one. As I stopped to catch my breath, I was getting a flashback of Russia...

"Кто-нибудь, помогите ей! Мама! Мама! Можете ли вы помочь моей маме, она собирается умереть! Пожалуйста" (Somebody help her! Mama! Mama! Can you help my mama, she's going to die! Please!) The little girl screamed as she pull my arm towards a small raggedy house. Tears were running down her small tired face, you couldn't tell because of the heavy rain. My partner touched my shoulder... I forgot her name... Natalia? Nadia? She shook her head and started running. I turned back to the girl who were now on her knees. "Пожалуйста ... Я тебя умоляю." (Please ... I'm begging you). I turned back to my partner and followed her. Leaving the girl in the mud, crying in disappointment.

I snapped back into my senses. It was getting late and I'm in the middle of the goddamn forest. I heard a rustle, I felt my muscles tense. I took a step towards the way I was running then a man grabbed my neck and pushed my back against a nearby tree. His vest read S.H.I.E.L.D.; I knee him in the stomach and slammed his head into the tree. The sound of static was coming from the unconscious agent. I took his radio and a voice boomed. "Agent Martinez! Martinez! Dammit! We're sending Iron" The static ended.

"What the fuck is Iron"

A few moments later I heard a loud THUD a few yards away. It was too dark to see anything, but I did see two small rectangular lights that seem to resemble...eyes, about 6 feet above the ground. As it got closer I saw the figure. Fuck! I saw that guy on TV! It was Iron Man.

"Why would a pretty girl like you be such a danger to S.H.I.E.L.D?" The sarcastic tone got me a little angry, but I ignored my temper and started sprinting as fast as I could. I finally reached the city, I turned around and I didn't see Iron Man behind me, I was so relieved. THUD! Fuck me! He landed right behind me; I turned around and kicked him in the stomach. He flew back into the busy street and bounced off a taxi, into a building, causing a deep hole. I saw his mask lift up and there was a confused look, then it immediately turned into a smirk. Before he got up I sprinted to another nearby building. All the lights were off so I thought the building was closed.

STEVE/CAPT. AMERICA P.O.V.

I looked down at my new watch Tony gave me, 10:59. At that same moment all the lights in the gym shut off. Closing Time. I didn't care; I was still able to see the punching bag from the city lights coming through the window.

As I was punching the punching bag I expected my usual flashbacks about the war and when I went under. Tonight was different; my flashbacks were about events that happened before I was Captain America, before the war even started.

July 4th, 1938

A girl ran up to me as I stood at the steps of the orphanage. Her jet black hair was up in a bun but you could still see the blue highlights; she always insisted that the blue was natural not hair dye which was very expensive back then. The one thing that I remembered most about her was her eyes… she has electric blue eyes that seemed so ... unnatural. Bucky stood right behind her holding a small gift. "Happy 16th Birthday Steve!" They hugged me tight around my skinny body. "We were able to save up money to buy you a gift" The girl grinned from ear to ear. The girl had one of those smiles that made you smile too. I opened the small gift and it had a silver watch with a note that read:

"Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today." She would always tell me that when I'm down. I remembered the watch… about two months later two guys jumped me in an ally and stole it. She was so heartbroken, when I told her.

I will never forget that girl, Bucky and she was my only friend. She was so kind and sweet to me, even if I was frail, shy and short. I admit I did have a crush on her, but I never built up the courage to tell her. Once the war started it was like she just... disappeared. No one knew where she was. As we grew up, it was like she never existed. Bucky decides to join the army, and I try several times but to get declined each time. One day I receive a letter; there was no name from the sender. I opened it and it read "Dream as if you'll live forever..." I smiled and said aloud to myself "live as if you'll die today." I knew exactly who it's from… Aquarius.

The punching bag flew across the dark gym and slammed against the wall. I finally snapped back into my senses. I simply picked up another from a row beside me and hung it up. I smiled a little when I remembered Aquarius' letter. I continued to punch the punching bag until I heard footsteps...

? P.O.V.

Inside the building was very dark, the room I was in had no windows. There was no sign of Iron Man following me, so I quickly found a bathroom. I searched for a light switch. When I turned it on the light blinded me for a second, when I got used the light I looked at the mirror. The bullet only grazed my arm but I was bleeding really badly. I managed to find a first-aid kit and then I wrapped my wound. I looked back at the mirror; my eyes looked dull from the redness around my eyes. My eyes looked baby blue, I washed my eyes, and it got better. I smiled a little when my eyes looked normal… Electric blue.

I left the bathroom; I heard a sound of fast constant thumping. I knew I shouldn't check it out but curiosity got the best of me. I looked at my surroundings as I walk towards the noise, I realized it was a gym. I see a man violently striking a punching bag. I started walking towards the man, until he stopped. Before he turned around something hit my head and I blacked out.

STEVE/CAPT. AMERICA P.O.V.

A girl was sprawled out on the floor; right next to her was Iron Man. He picks her up and throws her on his shoulder.

"I didn't know you were still at the gym." Tony said as if nothing happened.

I ignored what he said "Who is she?" I stepped closer.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. wants her" He walks past me towards a large window; he used his hand blasters to break it. "I'll pay for it" he shrugged. I looked over at the girl who was dangling over his shoulder. Before he could fly back to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters I saw her open her electric blue eyes, I stopped in my tracks and flashbacks rushed back into my head.
