I placed my hand on my Sister's shoulder as we found a place to sit, "Please I'd like to know what has happened to you since we last met."

"Well you know how we met..." She spoke, "Being within Hydra was difficult, sure they gave me my dream job but the more I found out the more scared I was about them. I couldn't trust anyone. A lot of them looked like good people until you see it was all for show, everyone was two faced and I can't trust people like that."

"But it was Bucky that kept you there."

"He was the only person I cared about, and I did my best to hide it."

"Melly... That must have felt near impossible."

"You better believe it was but I never realised I was falling for him until..."

2012

When Melly had escaped the first time she had everything planned out in her head, she had timed the guards schedules, memorised, mapped out using everything as she observed and learned about everything at the Hydra base she was at. She escaped in the dead of night using a virus program to disrupt all technology and security cameras. Then she killed every guard that was in her way to freedom.

Two months later her boss was getting fed up with the failures of his men results into locating her... They lost track of her a month and a half ago, and it was pissing him off.

"She's a smart ass woman," said her Boss, "I'm running out of options."

"And she knows enough to put a dent into our plans." Spoke Pierce, "This woman is a big problem.

"Is this enough to get the Winter Soldier after her?"

"I believe so."

"I don't want her dead, I just want her back so I can inflict the pain she gave me the last few months."

"That should be enough for her to obey you."

"That's the plan, she went along with everything until the last few months before she escaped. Since then she's been using out tactics against us."

"True."

"She doesn't know anything about the Winter Soldier," Said Roberto, "Except that I saw she blushed when I mentioned her hero to her. Teasing her that she'd see him again."

"She has a sweet spot for the asset?" said Pierce, "Perhaps he could use that to his advantage."

The Soldier had been taken out of Cryo as he saw Alexander Pierce with another man being Melly's boss. Pierce gave him her file. The Soldier studied the file, where she was last seen and what not.

"We need her alive, do whatever it takes but don't underestimate her. She's outsmarted us three times already." Pierce told him.

"Understood, how should I proceed?"

"You must outsmart her Soldier, figure her moves out before she comes up with another curve-ball."

"Yes sir."

"We'll provide you with cash, clothes, guns and you're uniform. Just bring her back in one piece."

Finally he tracked her down in the middle of somewhere she was still making sure she was two steps ahead of Hydra, but not him he was going to get a head of her. His excuse that he was looking for her because he wanted to see the woman he lost... Somehow saying that it was practically the truth. The Soldier blended in with the people and the area as he watched from a distance being careful not to lead her on. Then once things looked as if things quieted down she still had looked over her shoulder to where he was before he quickly hid away from her sight, every half hour. They weren't kidding when they said she's good as he quickly disappeared out of her sight.

He smiled, she was forcing him to use his brain more than usual. He remembered her they allowed him to remember that. Once Melly was freed, she saw him and planted a passionate kiss on his face... He liked it, so much once she was alone in her room he snuck into her room that night. Not wanting her to get into trouble he was smart about their encounters then he got caught sneaking out but he didn't want them knowing he was going to see her.

Now as he watched her doing odd jobs to pay for her living expenses, as she lived in a cabin near a lake as she managed to grow her own vegetables, and she had guns hidden well all over the property. He was careful as he located each one but made sure they weren't disturbed. When she was gone he picked the lock of her home to see what she was up to... She was debating on contacting SHIELD.

It was harvest time as she started harvesting her garden, she noticed something odd, footprints were in her garden, some of her vegetables were missing, and the hidden gun stash in the garden was missing too. She studied the boot print, "I don't think Hydra's goons uses boots with that kind of treads." She muttered to herself. She then decided to take most of the vegetables she grown to the market to sell. She turned around as she saw no-one there before she left. All she saw was a quiet bearded Fisherman who had left her some fish at her door. She had been seeing him a few times around the area... That fisherman was him in disguise.

When she returned as he was waiting for her as he had some fish for her.

"Thank you," she spoke with a smile as she gave him some fresh veggies.

"You're welcome, and thanks for the veggies." He replied in Russian.

Melly knew Russian but she couldn't say it right but she then replied, "Take care."

He nodded as he went back to his tent to cook his food a few miles away. He waited for her lights to go out as he changed out of his disguise into his uniform, then packed everything up into his motorcycle.

He just got there when he heard a gun gears clicking, "You know Soldier it's not the first time I've heard you speak in Russian before." she replied, "I didn't think they'd send you after me."

He turned around as he saw she was ready for him though as she had night vision goggles, and night camo clothes on...

"You're good Johansen."

"Thanks I think. You not too bad yourself trying to outsmart me." She growled, "Seriously? They get so low they send you after me?"

The Soldier remembered what he did the other year. "I got caught but I never told them you were the lady I was after."

She looked at him in shock, "You did that for me?"

He looked at her, "Yes and I don't regret it, like I'm not going to regret this." He said kissing her as he took her shotgun out of her hands. "Besides you're a better cook than I am."

"So you were the one who broke in and ate the leftovers." she teased.

"Yeah ah sorry about that."

"You do realise I'm not going to make it easy for you."

He chuckled, "Yeah well I counting on that!"

That morning the Soldier woke up as he saw her cooking breakfast as he got out of her bed, he grabbed his bag as he took out some clothes to put on. Then he approached her from behind to kiss her neck.

"I didn't think you felt the same." she confessed.

"Look Melanippe..." The soldier told her, "You're the only one of them who treats me with more than kindness, and compassion. You treat me like a human being... I have a feeling next time they'll use me against you."

"I can't fight you."

"You'll have to."

She cried, "Well thanks for the heads up..."
