Emily met the handsome, James Buchanan Barnes, while walking down the Brooklyn streets. Her brother Howard was developing a car that he said would be able to run without every touching the ground again. Emily loved it when Howard came up with new inventions, but she felt that he was quite ambitious. Sometimes too ambitious. But she loved his creativity. He was much more creative than she was.

"All it takes is a little imagination, my baby sister." She crinkled her nose at the thought of Howard calling her a baby. She was no more a baby than he was a mature adult. She was 20 years old and she didn't have as much experience in the world as Howard, but that did not mean she was a baby.

"Don't call me a baby Howard. I'm not that much younger than you." She remembered Howard letting out a low chuckle and ruffling the hair on top of her head.

"Yes Emily. You're not a baby anymore. You're a woman with her own opinions and thoughts. Quite a stubborn woman too." Emily nodded and they went about their day. Howard was working on his designs and plans for his 'flying car' and Emily was helping any way she could. Which brought her to the streets when Howard sent her on an errand to get some miscellaneous nuts and bolts.

Emily loved the Brooklyn streets. She loved how busy it could get and how the people here were honest, hard workers. It was such a difference from the crowd that Howard associated with. The rich, the spoiled, the ones with the big bucks and little concern for the working man.

"Excuse me ma'am. You dropped this." Emily felt a tap on her shoulder and she turned to the man that tapped on her shoulder. He was a small, lanky man with blonde hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a jacket that was too big for him.

"Oh thank you so much." Emily smiled and reached out and grabbed the notebook that had fallen out of her pocket. Without that she would have no idea what to get for Howard.

"And this too miss, you dropped some money." Emily looked behind the man who gave her the notebook and felt her face heat up. The man stepped beside the smaller one and held out his hand with the money enclosed.

Emily licked her lips nervously and reached and grabbed his hand with the money in it. He was probably the most handsome man Emily had ever laid eyes on. She flushed again when she looked him up and down.

He was tall, taller than her 5'4" frame, probably 5'12". He was toned with good muscles, but not huge. The man had dark brown hair that was neatly combed to the side and had striking, beautiful blue eyes.

"T-thank you." Emily dropped her hands to the side and in the process had dropped the notebook. She bent down to grab it and knocked her head into the blonde strangers on the way down.

"Oh my god! I'm so sorry!" Emily apologized over and over again, the brunette was laughing to himself, and the blonde that she had rammed her head into, was rubbing his head.

"Don't worry about Steve. Nothing in there to damage." Emily watched the blonde give his friend and shove and Emily covered her mouth with her hand to hide her giggle.

"Well I am sorry. And thank you for the notebook and the money. I really appreciate your honesty." Emily shoved both into her purse and smiled at both, still blushing.

"Oh I'm sorry. Where are my manners? I'm Emily Stark. Very nice to meet you, Steve, and you are..." she held her hand out to the brunette and bit her lip when he grabbed her hand and with a little smirk, took a step closer to her.

"James Buchanan Barnes. But call me Bucky." Emily smiled and shook his hand and then let her hand fall to her side.

"Well I should thank you properly. Let me buy you dinner. Both of you. I insist. I just have one errand to run for my brother." Emily watched Steve and Bucky look at each other and they both were a little hesitant. Well Steve was.

"Please, I insist. You saved me today by giving me back my notebook and this money. My brother would've killed me if I had lost it." She looked from Bucky to Steve and when they agreed, she smiled widely.

"Great!"

Emily remained crouched by the wall and continued to look around with wild eyes. The soldiers or guards were raising their weapons and aimed them towards one of the only doors in and out of this cold, dank room she was in. She heard a commotion and lifted her head to look at the cause.

There was a man standing in the doorway glaring at everything that moved. He oozes danger and anger. He looked deadly. She looked over at him, meeting his eyes and quickly looked away.

"Move." The man got a shove. He stopped and clenched his hands together, both his flesh and metal one. She watched his jaw clench and then he went wild. He started attacking the guards around him and the whole room erupted into chaos.

Emily curled up into a ball and made herself as small as possible. She covered her ears with her hands and clamped her eyes shut as tight as possible. She rocked back and forth, muttering to herself. Once the chaos was over and there was nothing. It silence, she sat up.

She leaned against the wall and looked around. The number of guards that were still standing was less than 10. The soldier was standing by the short man with the glasses.

"That was excellent. Excellent. Soldier come with me." The man and the soldier walked towards her and Emily's grew to the size of saucers. Was she going to be his next victim?

"Fräulein you have an important job. Your job is to keep the soldier focused on his tasks. You will make sure he succeeds at his missions. If he fails you will be punished. If you refuse you will be punished. You try and escape Fräulein, and the soldier who will keep you safe on missions, will find you and kill you. You see Fräulein, the soldier has one weakness and that is you. And for that, you will also be a great access to Hydra."
