Chapter IX. Almond Blossom for Contemplation
Angie Martinelli moved to Japan years before Howard Stark's death. She had just lost her husband and couldn't stay in a country that just kept reminding her of him. Angie hadn't understood how Peggy had dealt with the pain of losing Captain Rogers but then again, Sousa had been there to help the woman move on and Peggy was Peggy. In Angie's eyes, there was no woman stronger than her.
Howard brought a house in Tokyo (Later leaving a big inheritance for her in his will, just enough for her to live comfortable for at least one hundred and thirty years without working) and Peggy taught everything she needed to know to live in the country peacefully.
She opened the orphanage one year later after she meet a young girl called Nana; no surname until Angie asked the child to take hers. Nana had been a bubbly child but after raising herself in the streets, the girl rarely looked at the world in a way that wasn't wary, as if she was just waiting for something to happen and the destroy the happiness she had just gained.
Angie watched Nana grow into a beautiful young woman. She had been there for almost everything, even after Nana's biological family learned of her existence and came knocking for the girl. The brown haired Japanese girl was – is – the daughter Angie never birthed.
The American woman never understood what Nana saw in Sawada Iemitsu neither did she understand how her daughter never noticed the way the man talked, the way he spoke and the way he lie.
Sawada Iemitsu was dangerous – Not Peggy Carter kind of dangerous but more to the level of SHIELD trained dangerous.
Angie had also learned enough from her best friend, Sousa and all the others she met from SHIELD to recognize someone who worked in the unlawful side of things. But she never had the opportunity to warn her daughter before she was seduced away and gotten married to the good for nothing man.
It took almost six years after that for her to even hear from Nana again. Only, it hadn't been from the woman herself but her little five years old daughter.
No call. No letter. Just a little girl standing in her doorstep with a sweet smile and innocent doe like orange eyes.
Nana had been abandoned as a child so after Angie learned that the girl's name was Sawada Tsunahana, she made a call. The old woman refused to believe that her daughter would abandon a child like that.
Peggy took only two days to get the information Angie wanted.
Apparently, but not surprising, Iemitsu was Mafia – a member of the strongest Italian Famiglia of the world. He was close related to the Boss and there was a great possibility that he would one day force his daughter in a marriage in the future to keep the bloodline alive and have more candidates available for the position of Heir. Peggy thought that Nana learned about her husband real nature and decided to do something about it.
After hearing all that, Angie agreed.
Nana didn't abandon her daughter. She left her daughter in the only place she believed the child would be safe.
Sawada Tsunahana, also known as Tsuna, was a sweet child and more perceptive than people gave her credit for. Sometimes, Angie thought that she could see, hear and feel things that others couldn't but there was no proof of such ability. Not that it stopped her from wondering if the little girl was a mutant.
Sawada Tsunahana was her granddaughter so Angie would care for and love her.
But there was one thing about Tsuna that wasn't all that good in certain aspects. Tsuna attracted attention as if she was a burning beacon to all flies around her. She attracted both good and bad people to her by merely being herself and Angie had no idea of what to do about that.
Well, she did but Peggy had asked for her to be cautious when calling for help because HYDRA was still out there.
Angie pursued her lips as she stood in her office; phone in hand and tapping a red nail to her dress.
Barnes was alive somehow. There was no mistake; Angie had been his sister's friend so she would recognize that man anywhere. And Angie would bet the inheritance Howie left to her that HYDRA was involved. They always were.
Sighing, she moved her fingers to call Peggy and tell her about this turn of events but a familiar voice stopped her.
"Matron, can you help me prepare a bath for Mr. Cloud? He is dirty."
Angie smiled fondly and turned around to ask who was Mr. Cloud and wondering if Tsuna had found a stray puppy or kitten. It was about time for one of the children to show up with a stray, she had been waiting for this.
The moment she saw the so called stray, Angie felt her heart freeze.
It definitely wasn't a puppy or a kitten.
Standing in the doorway, Tsuna smiled sweetly at her as the little girl held the large hand of the man by her side. Bloodied and armed from head down, James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes stared at Angie with an unspoken threat and promise of bloody harm in his cold blue eyes
The phone fell from her hand.
