She was running, her heart pounding in time with her feet. Her life was on the line, and now was not the time to make mistakes. She focused on putting one foot in front of the other; her newly dyed blonde hair blew over shoulders as an onslaught of wind blew past her. She flew past pedestrians, knocking some off their feet, making others lose their belongings.

Wearily, she took the time to glance behind her only to see her previous assailant gone. She breathed a sigh of relief and turned around only to run into a tall figure; wincing when she saw the fancy shoes and suit. She probably pissed off some rich person. Her eyes continued to trail upwards towards the man's face. She gulped when she came face to face with Tony Stark.

Seeing him, she pulled her stolen black hoody closer, hiding the dirty oversized Hydra shirt.

The billionaire didn't notice anything amiss as he held her shoulders; she presumed that was what had kept her from running straight into him.

"You alright?" He questioned distractedly. His gaze was focused on a tall blonde woman that had stopped walking a couple of feet away.

"Yes…" She shrugged his hands off of her. She didn't like touching. It always ended badly for her in the past.

"Watch where you're going okay; okay kid?" The man advised, finally looking down at her. His eyes narrowed thoughtfully as he stared down at her.

Her stomach turned, she needed to go. They could find her any minute.

"Hey, you look…" He started, but she had already taken off down the street.

A/N - So, I know it's short, but in my defense it's only a prologue of sorts. Let me know if you like and if you do want me to continue it. If you don't like it, tell me what I can do to make it better. I will warn you in advance, there won't be much romance. This is more of a family type of story. As for the timeline, I know that this is after the Avengers; but I don't know where Age of Ultron will be placed yet. I have ideas for the twins, and for Bucky, but I am open to anything you have in mind. c:
