Chapter 13

Nina sat on a knee with a cup of tea in her hand, in the second level of the Stark red flannel pajamas matched Morgan's and Laura's, as three of them and the three boys sat in a circle on the comfy beige sofa's.

It was hard to believe that only today they broke into a secret Hydra base and rescued not one but two people.

Jack was telling his story, sitting forward with his arms on his legs.

"I'm not special like any of you. I was just a pilot, trained with Air Force after high school. I was on a mission in Afghanistan and before I could blink I was a recruited SHIELD pilot. During the fall of SHIELD about a month ago, I was called to shoot down another SHIELD ship, but I refused. More than half of my flight team was Hydra so they eventually captured me and three other pilots. We were taken to that base and subdued everyday to follow orders. It was like I was half asleep and couldn't do anything. It was when you punched me, I was jolted awake."

He looked to Morgan, who smiled back.

"Again I don't have any powers or anything like you all, but I want to do anything I can to help. I saw what Hydra did to people." Bucky nodded in agreement.

"What about you Laura?" Morgan asked thoughtfully.

"I've able to move things telepathically all my life. But only things that I would be to move with my own strength.' As she spoke a small object rolled between her fingers subconsciously. 'I'm from Harlem, my parents didn't have time to do anything about my power. So they chose to ignore and conceal it. It's easy enough to control, unless I became very upset. When I was 18, I was witnessed a murder happen in broad daylight. It wasn't anyone I knew but I became so upset that objects around started to levitate. By the time the police got there, they called the CIA. I was under a special case and SHIELD was looking to take me under their wing for protection, secrecy and training. On my way to a SHIELD base, Hydra intercepted our jet and took me. They've been trying to multiply my power in that goddamn lab for months. They never wiped my memory, or at least I don't think. They were simply trying to complete their project as fast as they could. Project-"

"Needle?" Will asked.

Laura nodded.

"I'm sorry you had to go through that." Nina said quietly. "And you Jack."

There was a silence untill Morgan spoke up. "I know it feels like we've known you two forever, but I know nothing about you or Bucky."

She was looking at Nina who felt like a pile of bricks being laid on her shoulders. She hated to search back, it was hard enough to piece back together what had happened. Tony's tests and experiments on her glued some moments back together and she was tired of reliving the expierence. Bucky, thankfully cleared his throat and told the short version of the story.

"Well, I fought in World War Two with my best friend Steve Rogers. He's also known as Captain America." Everyone's eyes flickered at the mention of his name. "I was in a POW camp, where a scientist injected a serum into me that prevented me from dying of fatal injuries. I fell off a Hydra train and everyone thought I was dead. The serum saved me, but Hydra found me, took me and made me into a brainwashed weapon called the Winter Soldier. I caused lots of damage for 70 years and I had no idea I was doing it. Few people knew that a second part of the serum was made, which 70 years later...was sent to Nina. She gained powers that were meant for me, so the serum sort of connected us. We could hear each other's thoughts and for a while I could remember my name and other things. Until I met Steve again. HYDRA realized I learned too much so they "wiped" me. The next day, Helicarriers went up for Hydra's Project Insight. Nina tried to stop me, but I couldn't remember her. I killed so...many people." He looked down and shook his head. Nina placed her hand on his back and he continued. "I remember falling out of the Helicarrier and waking up on the shore of the Potomac. I remembered basically everything after I woke up. I came to New York for answers, I got them." He glanced to Nina who cleared her throat.

"I was a STRIKE agent. Which had been HYDRA for years, Director Fury got a hold of me and I switched sides right before the whole fall of SHIELD. And everything Bucky just told you is what happened."

"The best way to cope is to let go of the past." Will said thoughtfully. "Remember it but don't let it control what you do in the future."

"Well said." Jack said raising his glass of pepsi.

Everyone laughed and raised their glasses slightly.

Laura finished her sip and asked, "So Nina and Bucky what are your powers."

"Trust me you don't want to see mine. Indoors, in such a nice penthouse." Bucky said smiling. "But Nina can." He titled his head and smirked.

Nina rolled her eyes and got up from the couch. She crouched and flew into the air. She zoomed around the room while Morgan, Laura, Jack and Will all gasped and talked excitedly. She flew back to the couch and turned invisible. Appeared on the arm of Laura's chair and she jumped. She walked back to her place next to Bucky and smiled.

"That's some serum you've got there." Jack said. Morgan laughed and started to talk to Jack. Bucky left his seat and walked onto the balcony.

"Ouch." Said Laura, she had cut herself on a slip of paper. Will came over to her and wrapped his hand around her finger, the pain as Nina knew immediately went away. As she got up from the couch she heard Will say, "Better?" "Now it hurts you..." Laura replied her voice trailing off as Nina stepped onto the balcony.

Bucky was looking out to the setting sun over Manhattan. They stood in comfortable silence for a few moments. "No matter what happens to me, you never give up." He said looking at her and leaning against the railing. "It's your arm, its shine just draws me." Nina said sarcastically. Bucky laughed quietly and kept smiling.

"What happened after the Helicarrier? After Rogers fell." Nina asked.

"We both fell and you flew to catch me. You blacked out before we hit the water, and it felt like we hit concrete. But when I went under water...I saw you drowning unconsciously and something clicked." His body was moving closer to her as he talked. "I remembered, so I pulled you out and then Steve. I woke up and could remember everything. You tried to stop me and I almost...killed you."

"Bucky." Nina took his hand and placed it on her wrist to feel her pulse. "I'm alive and operational. That wasn't you. This is real you, here right now with me."

Bucky looked down to her face. "Can you forgive me?" He asked quietly tracing his fingers on her wrist. She nodded quickly and smiled, "I always would."

"What about for this?" He said and smoothly leaned in to kiss her on the lips. He pulled back slightly and she looked into his smiling face.

"Not a chance." She wrapped her arms around his neck pulling him closer.

They stood out there until the sun set over Manhattan.
