Lilly's POV
I woke up groggily my eyes briefly swimming in and out of focus but I could see figures around me and I willed my eyesight to return to normal, as it began to improve I saw that i was surrounded by people and I recognised them all. I went to move my arm which was aching and found myself tied to a chair. "This the best you can do stark a chair, really?" "well it worked, didn't it" I flipped the chair over snapping the arms off of the chair in the process I was still tied to the back of the chair but flexing my muscles hard it snapped and fell to the floor, everyone in the room was in a fighting stance "really?" I asked looking at them all. Captain Rogers was the one to speak up next "what do you want, what does Hydra want?" i scoffed and turned my back on them all looking out of the window "i'm not Hydra, not out of choice anyway, I've helped you all as best as I could even before you brought down shield" "and Hydra" added the red headed woman I knew to be Natasha, I turned to her "unfortunately not you took out a small portion of Hydra, you created a dent which is quickly being filled, they are already planning their next attacks." "Say we believe you" said Clint "why would you want to bring down Hydra" i gritted my teeth and snarled out the words I spoke "because they took everything from me my choices, my childhood, my freedom and in so many ways my life." I felt tears welling in my eyes, but i blinked them away and turned to Natasha "I was Leak 40836" "security word?" "rat" she walked over to me and i offered her my finger she pulled out a device that took a sample of my blood, a green light flashed proving my identity. "Well it would seem our girl here is telling the truth" "how old are you?" asked stark "19" eyebrows raised all around the room. "How did you get into Hydra so young" Rogers asked and I could of sworn I heard some sympathy in his voice "my family is Hydra Captain , my great grandfather someone who I believe you and Mr Barnes here are aquatinted with was the founder of Hydra my grandfather after him my father after him and up until I ran away I was next inline to take over, so it came down to a choice did I want to die putting right the wrongs of my family or be killed by Hydra's followers when I refuse to follow there ideals and lead them in killing millions of people, hardly a choice really, once again they forced my hand" "you seem pretty certain you are going to die" for the first time Bucky spoke up I looked up at him. "I assume like me you have not recovered all of the memories Hydra stole from you, they wiped you clean turned you into someone your not but with me they picked through my brain and stole specific memories leaving me completely unsure of parts of myself but they chose to let me remember what they wanted, so they could get the most out of me, the first time they wiped part of me they took away the person I was growing to be i'm just a shell of a dead girl so I've made my peace with the fact I'm going to die" he and Captain America looked at one another having a silent conversation a look of something written across both of their faces.
Bucky's POV
As she spoke I could feel a hate inside of me, the girl was Hydra, but the more she talked the more the feelings turned to sympathy she had been as much a victim of Hydra as I had been, Steve was helping me recover my memory and though it was painful I was beginning to get pieces of me I had lost back but the events of hydra had changed me to a point I would never be completely as I was before. Her hair was red but was had a hint of blonde to it her lips were small and had a natural pout to them but they had a dark pink tinge to them, her nose was long and straight and her eyes, her eyes were big and blue and I was surprised to feel as though I recognised them. She reminded me a lot of my self just a year ago when Steve had finally found me with a gun to my temple ready to end everything but once again he said the words that had cemented our friendship through thick and thin "I'm with you to the end of the Line" and finally I had allowed him to help me. The young girl in front of me had the same look on her face as me and Steve had the look of seeing the worst of humanity and having to sacrifice those who deserved to live for the greater good. The look of being Haunted. I looked at Steve and we shared a horribly knowing look as she had admitted to choosing her death, she was me, exactly as I had been at my worst.
FLASHBACK
A little girl with fair skin and red curls bouncing around her head was smiling broadly as she ran through the room towards me not looking where she was going and ran straight into my knee and fell back on her bottom with an ummphh. She looked up at me and her big blue eyes widened as she took me in and I realised she was probably scared of me so I walked around her, for some moments I kept walking surprised when I fell something tug on my trousers i looked down and saw the little girl who was smiling broadly at me. I was surprised at her lack of fear, she looked up at me and asked "what's it like being so tall Mr?" I cocked my head slightly looking down at the little girl "I don't know normal to me I guess" "that's a rubbish answer Mr" I felt a smile tug at the corner of my lips "it is isn't it" she nodded sending her hair flying all around her head, i chuckled lightly under my breath and bent down to her level "you want to know what it's like to be so tall?" she nodded her little face lighting up I picked her up and swung her on to my shoulders holding onto her legs "it's like flying" she said in a dreamy voice I smiled fascinated in the little girl who wasn't afraid of me like very other person I had met. Initially I put it down to childhood innocence but something didn't seem right about it this little girl was more intelligent than most children her age should be, after a while I knelt down and she clambered off of my shoulders. She looked at me and looked at my arm only seeming to just notice it, i wanted to hide it afraid it would scare her but to my surprise she looked up at me and asked "Please can I touch your shiny arm" I bent down and watched as she ran her tiny fingers over it taking it in with her eyes almost in a trance "does it move?" i flexed my arm and wiggled my fingers "wow, I want one" i laughed lightly, "I only have it because I had an accident" she rapped her arms around it tightly and looked up at me from where her face rested on my arm "i'm sorry" she then kissed my arm. I looked in shock at the little girl in front of me she stepped back and said "I have to go now mr, i have training" "training?" i asked. She nodded "yeah i have to go and practice in the firing range, I'm getting good now" looking at the girl I was in shock she couldn't be older than five. She turned to leave but turned when she reached the door she turned and ran back "whats your name mr?" "the asset" "thats not a proper name thats a title" "it's the name I had" "well I'm going to call you hmmm" she stopped talking thinking hard before her face lit up and she said "shiny" "shiny?" i asked laughing. "because your pretty arm is shiny" i made an ohhhhh face she nodded "well if you know my name can i know yours?" I asked politely she nodded "I'm Lilly, but you can call me Lil, but don't tell anyone only special people call me Lil" "like who?" i asked looking from side to side pretending to make sure there was no one watching. "Just you and agent Marcus" she said seriously "not even father" I smiled "well I hope to see you again soon Lil" she nodded and flung her arms around my neck and hugged me tightly. I was shocked for a moment before i gently wrapped my arms around her too "me to Shiny, your a good person, i only trust good people" she then ran away out of the door and I watched as it swung shut behind her.
PRESENT TIME
I came back to reality and I was on the floor clutching my head and Steve was knelt beside me calling my name, I snapped out of my state and sat up right and turned to look at the girl who was staring out of the window. "Lilly?" I asked she snapped round in seconds. I thought I saw something flash across her eyes but it was gone in an instant and i couldn't pin point what it was. "I remember her Steve" i said looking to my friend who looked between me and Lilly. "You two know each other?" "we did" murmured Lilly quietly, "but hydra stole that away as well."
