To Be Found
"She knows how to hide, Steve," Bucky scratches his head, frustrated that they couldn't find Ava anywhere across the globe. It's been two months since SHIELD and Hydra collapsed. Two months since they lost sight of Avery Rogers or The Winter Soldier - they really didn't know which persona she is right now. There is literally nothing concerning her whereabouts. "Where could she have gone?" Steve nods numbly, laying his back against the sofa, staring at the folder Natasha had given them, the folder holding everything about his sister and what happened to her - in grave detail.
"I don't know, Bucky," he answers, running a tired hand over his eyes, even with Stark's technology they can't pinpoint her. It's like she doesn't want anyone to know what she's up to, like she doesn't want anyone's help. Well, with everything that went on, he can't exactly blame her. But all he wants is his sister back; come to think of it, he hasn't even had a glimpse of her still, only Bucky's had that privilege. "If this was our Ava, she'd want to make sure we weren't involved in whatever she was doing. The Winter Soldier? The soldier part of her was a martyr, she could be doing anything and we still don't even know what that is." Bucky bites his lip in thought, leaning forwards so that his elbows touch his knees, looking up at his best friend while his brain runs through dozens of scenarios.
"If I were her, slowly remembering bits and pieces of what happened to me over time," he pauses, looking straight to Steve with an idea. "I'd go after the people who took everything from me. The people who took me away from who I was."
A spark flutters in Steve's eyes. "Hydra," his fists clench in anger at the people who did this to his other half.
Bucky nods, also trying to hold in his own emotions by swallowing hard, "Hydra." Reaching forwards, he flips the folder open to the page of possible sites where Hydra camps can still be. "She'd want answers for what she can't remember. Cutting the head off the snake is a pretty good way to go."
"The best place to look first, would be to start where everything began."
Steve and Bucky look in each other's eyes, knowing exactly where to start looking, "where she died."
The End
A/N: The next book will be up loaded soon! I haven't completed writing it yet, but I have a few chapters down, and I will probably be able to update faster because my schedule is supposed to be clearing up soon!
