"Wakey, wakey." I opened my eyes with a mechanical sound. There was no sleep to rub from them, they were instantly clear. "How do you feel?" a man in a lab coat was standing over me.

I looked around. I was in a dingy room with blinking lights, it had an overall yellowish tint to it. There was a man laying on a half sat up chair. He had a metal arm with a red star on it, deadly eyes, chin-length, brown, stringy hair, and a well-formed body.

Something pinged in my chest and I gasped in pain. "What the hell was that?" I growled, clutching the thin shirt I wore.

"Huh...must be your heart. We had to give you a new one." the doctor smiled creepily. "Your old one had a bullet hole in it, but don't worry, this one won't have that problem."

I raised an eyebrow. "Why?"

"Well, we gave you a mechanical one." he grinned. It had obviously been him that replaced my heart. I felt red-hot rage fill me and I struggled against the bonds that held me.

He laughed and shook his head. "Now, now. There's no way you can-"

I snarled and strained against them and then they snapped. His eyes widened in fear and I grabbed him by the collar. "What have you done?" I snarled.

"C-calm d-d-down." he stuttered. I narrowed my eyes at him and smashed my forehead into his.

I threw him into the wall. "Why can't I remember anything?" I snapped.

He shook his head. "I don't know, all I did was put in your new heart." his eyes were wide as saucers.

I pulled my fist back with a sneer. "Too bad." I punched his lights out just as guards ran into the room.

"Get back in the chair." one of them snapped, waving a gun at me.

I cocked my head to the side in confusion. I felt laughter bubbling inside of me and then it spilled out. I threw my head back and laughed. And then it stopped.

I took a step towards them and they grabbed their guns. I grinned. "Why. Can't. I. Remember. Anything."

"Get back in the chair." the same man growled.

I smiled and shook my head. "No." I grabbed his gun with both hands and smashed his head into it. He crumpled on the ground and the other men clicked their guns. I started to move to attack another one when I was grabbed by the waist.

"Don't. I did it and there were terrible consequences." a gravelly voice whispered in my ear. "It hurts more than not knowing what you've forgotten."

I let the man lead me to a chair that wasn't mine. He sat me down and nodded. I couldn't help but notice the dark circles under his eyes and the scarring where his shoulder met his metal arm.

"I take it that we won't have more problems?" a man with a short hair cut and a moon shaped scar near his eye spoke up.

I gritted my teeth and shook my head. "Good."

The soldiers filed out of the room and shut the door with a bang. The man looked back at me and sat down beside me.

"They've had you in here for a while. They woke me up a long time ago, but you, they only woke up a few hours ago." his voice was deep and it sounded like he hadn't used it for years.

Years..."What year is it?" I asked, anger finally subsiding.

"2014."

I nodded, taking a deep breath and trying not to panic. Someone had taught me to do that...who? I wasn't exactly sure why I was panicking, but I felt as though I'd been asleep for many years. I growled in frustration and the man watched me wearily as if waiting to have to restrain me again.

His eyes sharpened. "You okay?"

I took one more deep breath and ignored his question. "Is there a mirror?"

"Yes." he looked at me as though he was surprised that I wanted a mirror. Why the fuck wouldn't I? I'd apparently been asleep for several years.

He gestured to a small mirror on the dingy wall. I walked shakily to the small, cracked object and stood in front of it with my eyes shut. I could tell the man was staring at me and I twitched uncomfortably.

I opened my eyes slowly and was met again by the sound of something mechanical swishing. That was what the noise was. My eyes. What had they done?

I reached up to touch them, but decided against it. Every time I blinked there was a soft noise like a machine and I could see steel gray eyes reeling in and out, focusing like a camera. My lip trembled and I forced myself to look at something else.

My hair hadn't grown a bit. It was still down to my shoulder blades and was its natural dark red color. Only now it was stringy and wet with sweat. I wrinkled my lip in disgust.

The dark circles under my eyes weren't as bad as the man's, but they were still visible. And then I heard it. The mechanical pumping.

I tugged my shirt lower and saw a massive 'X' over my heart. At least, where my heart should have been, now it was some inhuman thing that was pretending to be alive. That's what I was now.

And then the man was behind me. I felt my entire body tense as he lowered his lips to my ear. "He's coming, get back in the chair." he jerked his head toward the chairs. I nodded and began walking to my chair on the opposite side of the room.

The door started to open and I froze. I was grabbed again and practically thrown into the man's chair and he stood in front of me with his back to me.

"Well, Winter Soldier. How are you on this fine afternoon?" an older man asked with his hands in his expensive pants pockets.

I could tell how incredibly tense he was. His back muscles were coiled tightly and his fists were clenched. He didn't answer.

"Alright then. How about you, Tigress?" it took me a minute to realize that he was talking to me.

I glared at him and heard my eyes whir a bit. "Interesting." another doctor mumbled, walking over to me. The man in front of me glared at him, but let him near me. "Your pupils turned red..." he flashed a light in my eye quickly and I snarled, punching him in the jaw and sending him sprawling to the ground.

The man, the Winter Soldier, held me by the waist and held on tightly. I groaned from slight air loss, but didn't struggle.

The older man started laughing and clapped, walking forward slightly. "Oh, yes. She'll do just fine."

The man let go of me and I lifted my chin up in defiance. "We have a mission for both of you." the old man smiled.

Neither of us spoke. "It's an assassination. Nick Fury, he'll be on the road in twenty minutes. You'll have five to get dressed." he nodded to four guards and they stepped forward.

We were lead into a different room and handed clothing. I looked around. "Isn't there a separate room for me to change in?" I asked in annoyance.

The soldiers grinned. "No." I narrowed my eyes at them and was about to take a menacing step towards them when the Winter Soldier blocked me. He cracked his knuckles and neck, I could only assume he was glaring at them.

They gulped and stepped out the door. "We'll be waiting here." the apparent leader snapped.

I looked at the Winter Soldier and waited a minute. "Why'd you do that?"

"We have to stick together." he grumbled. "I don't trust them."

I raised an eyebrow. "And you trust me?"

"More than them." he gestured for me to change and he turned around to do the same.

I pulled off the thin, white shirt and tugged on a tight, black, leather, long-sleeved shirt, zipping up the front. Parts of the shirt were covered in metal and all of it was flexible, making it easy to move in. I pulled on the black pants, black combat boots, fingerless black gloves, utility belt and tied a black and red bandana around my head to keep my hair from my face.

I turned around and the Winter Soldier was still not facing me, though he was done changing. I almost smiled and spoke softly, "You can turn around now."

He turned and nodded. Half his face was covered by a hard mask and he tossed one to me as well. "I don't want to call you "The Winter Soldier". That's stupid, and too long." I said before placing the mask on my face.

"Bu-bu..." he started. His brow crinkled in confusion, he couldn't remember. "Winter." he growled, walking to the door and pulling it open.

I followed him and the soldiers in silence. We got into a large car and the driver took us off into the city. I looked around in shock, it all seemed so surreal. The car came to a screeching halt and I noticed how much chaos was erupting. Everything was on fire, there were bullet holes and crashed cars.

Winter jumped from the car and I followed him quickly. There was an overturned car and a black man with an eyepatch in it. He was hurt...I faltered for a second. A memory tried to fight its way out, but it was gone almost instantly. Winter ripped the door off but the man was gone. He huffed and turned to me, taking my arm and pulling me back to the car.

Once we were back at the facility Winter and I were led into a room with several bunks and were locked in.

"You'll have three hours to rest and..." the soldier grinned. "Do whatever else." I growled and slammed my fist by the window making him flinch away from the door and skulk off.

I tore the face mask off and threw it onto a bed, pulling myself onto the top bunk. I collapsed into the bed and threw my arm over my eyes. I heard Winter get into the bed beneath me and soon his breathing slowed.

I felt myself drifting off and I mumbled quietly and incoherently.

"Well, it took a lot of convincing and pleading, but I got you in." Peggy chirped in her British accent.

I shot up from my chair. "You got me in?!"

She grinned at me and nodded. "You start training tomorrow at five."

"Oh my god! Peggy! You're amazing!" I laughed, hugging her tightly. "I can't believe it! I'm so excited!"

She smiled happily. "I want to introduce you to someone." she laughed, grabbing my hand and leading me to another tent.

I laughed along with her and yelped as she stopped suddenly and I ran into her. She held her hand out to two men. "This is Steve Rogers." she pointed to the first man. He was tall and very muscular. I wouldn't lie, he was attractive. "And this is Bu- -" she gestured to the shorter man. He was smaller, but definitely muscular as well.

In all honesty, I found him to be much more attractive than Rogers. I smiled at both men and looked at Peggy.

"Pegs, I'd love to stay, but I have to wake up at five tomorrow." I beamed, practically jumping.

The shorter of the two men cocked his head to the side. "Now why's a gorgeous dame like you gotta wake up so early?"

"Because, someone's gotten me into the army." I grinned at Peggy.

Both men looked taken aback. "You're...joining the army?" I grinned even wider and nodded happily. Rogers smiled at me. "Good for you, doll."

The other man nodded. "Be careful out there. When the war's over, I'd like to take you dancing." he smiled.

"Tigress. Get up." Winter's gruff voice woke me from my deep sleep. Winter looked just like the man in my dream.

He handed me my mask and I put it on quickly. He took me by the waist and pulled me down from the bunk. "We've got work to do." he growled. I didn't think he was angry, I'm pretty sure it's just his voice.

I followed him closely and we walked out of the facility. We began running through the city which I found exceedingly easy. I grinned and started sprinting through the streets. I wasn't even breaking a sweat.

Winter whistled from behind me and jerked his head up. I nodded and pulled myself into the roof, leaping from roof to roof until Winter grabbed the back of my shirt and held me back.

He was panting softly and he tugged me down so that we were on our stomachs. He pulled out a sniper rifle and lined it up to face a window. I squinted to see what was inside and my eyes whirred. It was the black man from before.

And I knew. I knew that I was the better shot. I grabbed the rifle from Winter and took aim. Within seconds I let loose three shots that ripped through the man. Winter grabbed my hand and the gun and started running.

Soon, I heard footsteps behind us and turned around to see a man that looked extremely familiar. He'd been the other man in my dream. I stumbled slightly and Winter tugged me to his side before throwing me over his shoulder and continuing sprinting along the rooftop.

There was a whooshing sound and Winter spun on heel, catching a large shield with his metal arm and glared at the man following us. Winter threw the shield roughly back at the man and leapt off the building.
